The Friday Five: Vacation Songs

Leave a comment

August just started and that means summer vacation is almost over! BUT you can pretend that it’s summer forever with this week’s Friday Five: Vacation Songs! These songs are all sunshine in a song with lyrics that drip summer time feelings like an ice cream cone.

1. Chase Rice – Beach Town
Who doesn’t love a beach town – the tourist traps, flip flops and tank tops being standard attire.

2. 5SOS – Permanent Vacation
Everyone wishes they were on a permanent vacation – that’s the dream right there!

3. Sam Hunt – Vacation
This sums up our feelings about vacation perfectly.

4. The HEYDAZE – Arnold Palmer
No matter where you are, close your eyes and blast this song, and you’ll feel like you’re rockin’ an old tee under a palm tree having a good time under the sunshine.

5. Weezer – Island In The Sun
We can’t hear this song and not think about being on a beach, especially since it played in the Olsen Twin movie of the same name, literally every 5 minutes.

Leave a comment

James Maslow has taken the first step into the music world as a solo artist with a brand new single, “Lies” which he performed live for the first time at VidCon in Los Angeles.  He’s been busy in the studio writing songs for what we hope to be his debut solo album!   We can’t wait! James, may we suggest the album cover and name as “Breakout Dreams?” Although that really was too much cloud.

Listen to the single on James’ SoundCloud and watch James perform the song for the first time below!   We hope he’ll incorporate some choreography into his future performances, as well all know the man can DANCE.

James will also be performing at the Stream Con in NYC!  Get all the info HERE.

Leave a comment

Our favorite Secret Fangirl, Olivia Somerlyn just premiered a brand new single called “O X O.”  She’s been on tour nonstop for the past few months, opening for Meghan Trainor and Lindsey Stirling.   Why “O X O” instead of the usual “XOXO?”  As she wrote on Twitter, “It’s a reverse XOX because you wouldn’t normally give Xs and Os to the people who try to bring you down.”   Listen to the track on Spotify below!
