Eli “Paperboy” Reed – “Come and Get It”
We featured Mr. Reed in our Jukebox back on February 8, 2010. Shortly after that, Tank and I saw Mr. Paperboy live on stage at a show in Boston. Let’s just say we have a man crush on Mr. Eli. The much anticipated album, Come and Get It, drops on August 10. The first single, self-titled, is out now and we are all coo coo for coco puffs about it. Get to know this retro soul music before everyone else jumps on the bandwagon. You can trust us. We are trained professionals.

Stacy Clark – “Touch and Go”
Well, we first featured Ms. Clark in our Jukebox back on October 26, 2009. We then tracked her down for an exclusive video interview. We are back at it again highlighting “Touch and Go” from her new album, Connect the Dots. Yeah, we have a slight crush on Stacy as well. This track wonderfully showcases what you can expect on her new album. Enjoy!

Sons of Sylvia – “Love Left To Lose”
Unlike our two previous features in the Jukebox this week, we have not featured Sons of Sylvia before and we don’t have a crush on the guys…yet. This band of brothers are a country act, but they don’t sound like traditional country. Peaked your interest? I knew that would. Give the boys a spin and you might discover that you have a new crush.

When we interviewed our good friend Andrew Ripp we were interested to know who he was listening to. He shared the music of Stacy Clark with us and we have been hooked ever since. Clark’s 2007 release, Apples & Oranges, is an interesting experiment that combines folk and elements of electronic. There are moments on this record when her tracks sound like a beautiful blending of Imogen Heap‘s style with Vanessa Carlton’s vocals. Clark intrigued us so much that we knew we wanted to track her down for an interview.
We recently caught up with Clark with the hopes of carving out a few minutes from her busy tour schedule. We were treated to a stellar live performance followed up with some great conversations over dinner. In addition to being a creative singer-songwriter, we discovered that she is also a savvy entrepreneur and giving philanthropist. Her music is her passion and she has a plan all mapped out for herself. Just recently, Clark and her band walked away with the “Best Pop Artist” award at the 2010 Orange County Music Awards. Stacy Clark certainly has her head on straight and her sights are set on getting her music out there.
Thankfully, we will be able to get our hands on new music from Clark this summer when she releases Connect the Dots. In the meantime, Apples & Oranges is an album that you need to get acquainted with. Don’t be surprised if “Matter of Time” becomes your new favorite song.
KC’s Personal Picks: “Matter of Time”, “Closer” & “Hello Again”

Stacy Clark – “Matter of Time”
Our good friend Andrew Ripp turned us on to the amazing music of Stacy Clark. “Matter of Time” is off of her 2007 release Apples and Oranges. This young singer-songwriter is quickly gaining attention on the national scene. I was instantly taken in my the warm vocals and unique instrumentation of the track. It is truly just a “matter of time” before Clark hits a radio near you.

Will Hoge – “Even If It Breaks Your Heart”
After listening to Hoge’s music for a minute it is clear why Bruce “The Boss” Springsteen is such a fan. We recently saw Will Hoge perform live and it was an incredible show. This Nashville native has overcome a lot of adversity in his life and when he steps to the mic his voice tells his story. Fans of Tom Petty will dig on Hoge.

Santigold- “Creator”
Brought into this world as Santi White she also has been know as Santogold and more recently Santigold. 2008 was a breakthrough year for Santigold and “Creator” was one of the tracks that helped fuel that. The intro of the song may be a little crazy for those that like to toe the line, but hang in there champ. This track pays off and is a refreshing piece of art. The song is so good that it makes vomit glitter. Yeah, you will have to look at the album art to fully appreciate that statement.
