This classic 1990’s-sounding ballad, Lie, is a melancholy rock anthem with heavy guitar and drums backing strong and gravelly vocals.
With powerful guitar solos and a hard rock bridge, Blue Moon Harem‘s song reminds me of string-heavy ’90s bands such as Nickleback and Soundgarden.
The vocalist has a husky voice, that reminds me of Collective Soul‘s vocalist Ed Roland in their song The World We Know. Blue Moon Harem‘s vocals are emotionally-charged and compliment the band’s rock genre well.
This Boston-based band has a high production value, and their songs are certainly enjoyable to listen to.
I imagine Lie is the kind of song I would play in the car on the way to a concert or high-energy music festival – you can hear the band are genuinely putting their all into their performance, and it’s contagious!
Fiona’s songs are perfect for those times when you’re royally pissed off, or bitter about something. Sharon’s songs are perfect for those times when you’re feeling a tad melancholy or nostalgic. Fiona and Sharon’s vocals are both natural-sounding, as in, their live and recorded versions tend to sound identical. PURE TALENT.
Besides their musical style being similar, they are both grunge, messy, quirky, yet stylish at the same time. I bet they shop at the same stores… They’re both kind of shy and humble in interviews, too.
A timely and heart-breaking video to match a strong and inspiring song.
But after listening to much of the album 15 Seconds of Fame, I found a couple of songs that were a bit below the belt – no pun intended… Like Escort Girl – a literal explanation of a night spent with an escort.
I’m obsessed. Absolutely.
If you marry that up with this beautiful music video, it supports this idea so well.
She holds up her arms, which are drenched in red before falling to the floor. He rushes over and pulls back her sleeves to find there’s not a mark on her. The woman looks up at him with a look of relief, smiles at him and walks out.
could tell the difference between this video and the one-shot intro to
A laid-back song that has been very well mastered. 
This is the second song I’ve reviewed of Billy Roberts’.
Easy listening for the over 25-year-old single or broken-hearted ladies out there.
I really love this track!
I reckon their music would suit movies like 
First of all, I should declare that rap music really isn’t my jam.
The first thing I thought was ‘Nick Cave’. I think it’s David Arn’s gravelly voice and story-telling songs.
These two suggestions are simply to reinforce the intensity of the song. So that the weight of the deep and bold vocals, guitar and lyrics can be fully supported by the rest of the instruments.
It seems I didn’t scare them off!
These may have slipped your memory because they are from the late 90s/early 2000s. But for some, they are embedded in childhood brains.
While we are on the topic of Sia, I love her earlier song: Chandelier.
I am so slow to the party.
(Toward the end of the video, Ziegler softly hits LaBeouf on his forehead. Each time she does so he changes his expression to show the emotions he represents: scared (he’s holding his breath – claustrophobia?), sarcastic, angry and depressed.
Personally, I didn’t realise how young the girl was until I read about it. However, it hasn’t changed my view on the video. I find it creative and expressive. But I suppose you can read into anything if you have an angle in mind.
