Lizzo, “About Damn Time”

Get your boogie shoes out for Lizzo’s new single, “About Damn Time.” Sticking to her tried-and-true values of self-empowerment, Lizzo makes it a point to shake off stress by embracing your inner sexiness. The music video is extravagant, as expected from the flamboyant pop star who we still claim as Minnesotan. The scene reaches a high point with Lizzo playing the flute while floating above a pool of synchronized swimmers. And that sequin jumpsuit she struts around in? Damn.

Cory Wong, “Power Station”

If you know of Cory Wong, you probably understand that he is an instrumental virtuoso. His latest single unveils where he gets his super-human skills – at the “Power Station,” of course. Yes, not only can he shred guitar like a maniac, he can also act, do comedy, interview and collaborate with the best of them. Season two of Cory and the Wongnotes on YouTube is where you can catch the Minneapolis musician in action. And be sure to check out his funky new record “Power Station”, which drops on April 29.

Eleganza!, “Down With Me”

It’s roadside bar music you can’t deny. Eleganza’s new music video is complete with Patrick Swayze, chicken wire, beer cans, and denim jeans. It’s the perfect backdrop to the band’s gruff, but fun-loving rock ‘n’ roll sound. Their new LP “Water Valley High” will drop this April 29 with a release show at 7th Street Entry.

Caitlyn Smith, “High”

Caitlyn Smith’s latest video for “High” is all but a close-up shot of her profile with sky elements bending into screen. The Cannon Falls native has captured the coveted Nashville sound. In a scene that’s overrun with people trying to “make it,” Smith has risen above the noise with her powerful, passionate singing voice that carries out melodies with grace and soul. You can also catch her singing “High” on a recent episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers. 

Kokou Kah, “Eyes On Me”

Kokou Kah’s sound embodies what the newest generation of hip-hop artists are creating – less rapping and more singing. Not long ago, Kokou Kah was performing to a roaring audience at First Avenue’s Best New Bands showcase backed by a full ensemble. Originally from Liberia, he describes his music as “fusion.” His single “Eyes On Me” is a tender song of inner reflection, and in the video he is seen surrounded by mirrors in shabby remote locations. “I found myself by accepting myself,” he says.
