Music Television presents Scott Helman and the music video to his song titled Hang Ups. The music video was directed by Ben Knechtel. The song was produced by Thomas “Tawgs” Salter.
"Who don't have hang ups?" is one of the lines from this clever song and music video.
Scott Helman stated the following about his video:
"‘Hang Ups’ was inspired by a FaceTime with my girlfriend which ended in a big fight,” Scott recalls. “Afterwards, I had an intense moment of anxiety, hoping I didn’t do too much damage. As someone with ADHD, I usually have 800 things going on in my brain at once. With the song, wanted to paint a picture of the feeing after a conversation where everything comes out wrong."

Music Television is very pleased to present the Brighton England based rock act known as Black Honey, whose members are lead vocalist Izzy B. Phillips, guitarist, songwriter and producer Chris Ostler, bassist Tommy Taylor and drummer Tom Dewhurst.
In a June 7 Tweet on the bands Twitter feed, Izzy referred to the bands genre as "Twin Peaks Emo".
The music video featured belowm for their song titled Bad Friends, is the first single for their debut album. The band posted the following text about how they made the video:
"We wanted to explore how widespread feelings of loneliness can be with this video. The women in the video are all self-directed, there was no brief and everything was their own artistic interpretation of the song. I chose women I found online I find interesting and beautiful in their own artistic way. I wanted to celebrate the insides of women minds – explore their relationships with their own reflection."

Here is a song that is a little bit like a nursery rhyme and a lot like a dream. A emerging independent artist named Samantha Preis created a eerily captivating original song titled Lost For Me. Her voice is so sensitive and fragile sounding, filled with emotions of memories as if it's "the end" or something as deep. It is a stellar delivery of a song that I prefer to hear turned up before simply closing my eyes to lay back and listen. But the video and the artist is beautiful to look at too. It appears that this may be her first real music video. If you are like me, you will listen and watch this more than once and it may grow on you. For all music supervisors tuning in, consider this as a soundtrack for the right feature film.

We previously featured an outstanding music video to a tasty song titled Fool To Love by a mixed genre female artist known as Nao. Her debut album titled For All We Know was released on July 29 along with her second music video titled Girlfriend which was released August 1. The song is one that you may want to lay back and listen to with your eyes closed more times than you watch this video. It will take your mind places. The song is a dandy soul opera worth repeating.
Just below is a music video to a song titled Fool To Love that has hit written all over it. It's by a fast rising artist from London known as Nao. Her real name is Neo Jessica Joshua. This song is from her debut album titled For All We Know.

Last month on our sister site, TheIndies.Com, we featured an audio only recording of a Rosa Pullman song titled Daydreaming. I referred to her as "a real deal indie girl musician, songwriter and soul sister". That's exactly what she is!
Just below is one of our favorite live takes of Rosa. Her song is titled Ready For You. It was filmed in August of 2015 when she performed at The Intersection LA, which is known as a magical little house in Los Feliz/Silverlake, California, where resident and transient Los Angeles artists meet and play music at a new crossroads for musicians and their audience.

Love this new act and their song that smells like a hit. The group is known as Big Grams. It features the rhymes of Big Boi together with Josh Carter and Sarah Barthel of the music duo Phantogram.
From the Lianne La Havas album titled Blood, just below is the latest music video to track #2 titled Green & Gold. The song was written and produced collectively by Lianne La Havas, Jamie Lidell and Matt Hales.

Here is a young artist, who at 16 years old, recently released her first indie album. Just below are her first two music videos. Another young artist, a very busy 24 year old videographer, shot the videos.
Can't not post this video of Mavis Staples telling a little bit of the story about her father's final record titled Don't Lose This.
She tells about how Pops asked to hear the recordings when he was not feeling good near the end of his life, months after they recorded it. She took it up to his room and he heard it, smiled and said "... don't lose that". It was the final recording that the Staple Singers ever recorded together with Pops in 1998 through mid 1999. Unfortunately, Robuck "Pops" Staples died in December of 2000 after a concussion he had suffered from a fall in his home. This was a very emotional project for Mavis to help complete, as you will see. But she finds joy in it all.
The album is a true delight and should be enjoyed with the volume turned up enough to hear more of the detail and intricacies of Pops technique. It was recorded in 1998 at the Hinge Recording Studio & The Loft in Chicago, Illinois. But, on some of the songs there is some additional production that was recently added by Jeff Tweedy of the band Wilco. Lucky guy got the gig because he had worked well with Mavis on her solo albums.
The entire record is brilliantly minimalist, so soulful and funky in mostly a subtle way. It's old school. Absolutely love track 3: No News is Good News and track 7: The Lady's Letter, but all the songs are a real good dose of authentic from a true pioneer.
Thank you to Anti- Records, a division of the indie label known as Epitaph Records for providing the Full Album Stream featured below.

Tonight I was walking down the street and heard a very beautiful and soulful voice and a piano emanating from an outdoor restaurant and just had to walk in to figure out who it was.
Her name is Alex Nester. When I got home I looked her up. I learned that, besides the fact that she has been honing her craft and paying her musical dues for quite a while, at age 16 she was diagnosed with Non-Hodgekins Lymphoma, but overcame it all and is now cancer free.
The song I heard tonight that brought me in off the street was one that sounds like it was just meant for Joss Stone to cover. Ms. Nester said it had not been recorded, yet.
As I was browsing through her websites looking for a music video to feature here, I couldn't help but laugh when I saw her "No Auto-Tune" logo posted on much of her promotional material.
I found this song below that is obviously sung from the heart of a girl who overcame what was most likely assumed an early death. Kudos to you, Alex Nester, for staying in the game and keeping it 100% organic.
