Jamie Benkert: Music You Never Heard But Should #2

Have you heard of Jamie Benkert? If you’re in the U.S. (like me), you may not have any clue at all. In fact, even if you’re from his locale, it’s possible you’re also missing out. He’s an up-and-coming musician in the U.K. So, how did I find him and why should you take a listen?

It all started with clowns. Yeah, you should have known messing with me that clowns would be in the mix. What? Okay, so clowns probably don’t have much to do with Mr. Benkert. However, following yet another clown story is how I happened to find him. I can discover music just about anywhere, as regular readers and those close to me should know.

Anyhow, I noticed Jamie leaving a comment for the journalist of a piece regarding a popular clown. So, me being the music fiend that I am, I had to go check him out. That’s how I roll. Man, am I glad that I did! You may not hear his music on the radio waves yet. But this man’s got talent.

His newest single recently came out via iTunes, Spotify, and other popular download venues. It’s called “Shudder” and that you will do when you hear his sound. You can hear it via YouTube as well: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qHzFEj80oc. The lyrics are included, for those interested in the full experience.

Rain and other storms tend to really grab my attention. So of course, the subtle storm sounds that are a part of this song really captured my soul. It’s just enough to have an effect, but not so much that it’s distracting from the rest of the song.

If you happen to check out “Shudder” by Jamie Benkert on YouTube, I recommend taking a listen to some of the other stuff he’s got there as well. I wasn’t able to find those songs on Spotify (my download venue/app of choice). Therefore, his YouTube is definitely worth a peep for those interested.

If you’ve had a listen to Jamie, let me know what you think.

Heard of another interesting artist? Contact me on Facebook. I’d be glad to take a listen.

Raw-Rah: Music You Never Heard But Should #1

It’s long been my habit to check out all kinds of music no matter the genre or how famous (or not) the artist may be. Sometimes I’m looking up music on purpose and other times, I hear it in various places. Recently a very good friend popped on something new to me while we were hanging out. I was hooked on Raw-Rah’s smooth-sounding voice and relatable lyrics immediately. I of course had to ask who this R&B artist was. It turns out he’s a local Denver musician and my friend had gotten the CD directly from him.

I of course had to look him up and find the music for myself once I returned home. Currently, two of Raw-Rah’s songs are available via his website (raw-rah.com) or ReverbNation. The song “So Amazing” describes what is felt about a woman he’s trying to decide if he’s in lust or love with. The catchy beat and lyrics will have you dancing and humming along right away. This is definitely the faster song of the two. But the thing I like about both songs is that either could be danced to or be listened to while relaxing.

My favorite is “Facebook/Twitter,” which makes sense since I’m both a techie and a sucker for love. What girl doesn’t want to hear the lyrics “Cuz you’re a superstar, yes you are. You set the bar for other girls too far?” The song is about meeting up with someone he’s been communicating with via Facebook and Twitter. The raw and real lyrics of a situation that is very possible combined with the smooth, yet move-inspiring beat make it a must-listen. In fact, I must say that both my friend and I like to play it over and over again.

Curious? Go ahead and check him out for yourself. You may not hear this on the radio yet (or even catch it on YouTube). But it’s definitely worth the listen.
