Don’t Wreck a Good Thing, single by Binx The South African turned Los Angeleno singer/songwriter/producer released two songs last week – this one and “Maid of the Mist” reviewed last week – both well-crafted, infectious, and drenched in Binx’s unique energy to make your day brighter.

All There Is, single by Bob Malone from the new album Good People. Of the 11 great songs, “All There Is” keeps ringing in my ears with a sophisticated arrangement, moving beat, and soaring keyboard that he is famous for – not to mention his urgent lyrics and vocals.

If I’m In Love With You, single from TOW (Yang Fan and Liu Ge) two pioneers of the Beijing underground music scene.

This duet creates a musical world that hypnotizes you to hit Replay. Stream/download on Spotify.
In Pink, single from album Wink and video by Chai with Mndsgn. At first glance, it seems like fluff punk – and it is – but the Japanese quartet’s song is so good and so much fun that this earworm will keep you moving and humming. Purchase at megamart.subpop.com; stream on Spotify.
I Do, single from the album by Janita. Janita is a genius, pure and simple. “ I Do” – and the entire album Here Be Dragons is slick, sophisticated, emotional, raw, seductive. Put on your headphones and close your eyes. Stream/download on Spotify and all major platforms. Check out at ecrmusicgroup.com/.
Rider , single and video by Mereba. A love song from her forthcoming EP, AZEB, (out Wednesday, May 26th.) that seems from another dimension, but the video is here and now and hauntingly beautiful.
