New Music Fridays, October 6th, 2017 - Five Fresh New Tracks For You

Hello and welcome to the latest edition of New Music Fridays for October 6th, 2017.  Once again, this has not been a major week for new music releases, but of course there's always something to catch onto.  Check out this week's offerings...

How Long - Charlie Puth

Talented singer/songwriter Charlie Puth is not known for up tempo stuff, but his newest track, How Long, is a downright funky tune that I liked on first listen...a lot!  The song is from his upcoming sophomore album, Voice Notes, and my interest is officially piqued.  Who knows, I just may end up becoming a fan.  Check out How Long...

Pray - Sam Smith

Grammy Award-winning Brit singer/songwriter Sam Smith continues his comeback with another beautifully written and performed ballad that shows off his angelic voice.  Check out Smith performing Pray on SNL...

Help Me Out - Maroon 5, with Julia Michaels

Maroon 5 just released another single from their upcoming set, Red Pill Blues, and it's a pretty darned good song.  Featuring Julia Michaels, the down tempo tune is a little bit ska and very likeable.  Check out Help Me Out... 

Whatever You Want - P!nk

This upcoming week is a big one for P!nk, and she just teased us with another tune from her new album, beautiful Trauma, the third such song from the new release.  Of the three (including What About Us and the title cut), Whatever You Want is much more acoustic, a trademark type of song from the talented singer/songwriter.  I'm not sure how memorable this ballad will be among the tracks on the new set.  It's not as immediately catchy as the previous two, but still, I am sure it will grow on me.  Check out Whatever You Want... 

Right to It - Louis the Child, feat. Ashe

Our last entry this week is a summery tune with light-hearted vocals by guest vocalist Ashe and a nice, reggae-tinged back beat.  A very nice jam.  heck out Right to It...

Okay, so there you have it, five new, nice tunes to check out.  I hope you've enjoyed this week's selections.  Stay tuned for more new music on New Music Fridays, and of course, stay tuned to John's Music World for the Countdown to beautiful Trauma all week long.
