HeavyDrunk - Pay The Preacher
HeavyDrunk has crafted a song that is interesting, progressive and an absolute blast to listen to with his latest release “Pay The Preacher”. The first third of this four and a half minute track is presented to us in the form of a sermon with HeavyDrunk preaching to us about trusting God, before launching headfirst into amazing gospel-style rock beats. This song’s refrain of “You can’t outgive God” is hooky and you will be singing along to this track in no time. Unendingly fun and high-spirited “Pay The Preacher” is a song that is more than worth checking out!

Shaker Bloomheart brings us a high-octane dance vibe with their funky track “Mistakes”. Opening on fuzzy high-speed guitar chords that instantly pull you into this song, you are instantly hooked. The vocals then serenade you and bring you pure bliss with their warmth and emotive tone. The soundscape of this song is vast and dynamic and you can immerse yourself in it forever. I found that there wasn’t even a single moment during this track where my attention swayed and I didn’t find myself fully feeling the music. That’s the mark of a truly masterfully crafted track, which “Mistakes” is!
