Indie Pop Mixtape 10
Artist: Fond of Rudy
Song: Say Something
Why? Anyone can relate to this pop gem, simply because we have all known that person that just can’t be happy or that can’t let go of things – they just have to say something in order to have the last word. While those people might be headaches, we have known them and if we feel we haven’t then we are those people. This track is catchy, fun and simply inviting for it makes you want to dance to the rhythm and sing along to the chorus.

Why? There’s always a moment that is simply full of bliss and wonders and we ask ourselves, Why can’t it be like this all the time?

He let’s his voice blend in slowly and surely with the melodies and invites us to dance and enjoy the music as we travel through a night to remember.

Song: Give me everything
Why? Romantic and simply beautiful pop track that evokes a sense of fulfillment and peace as it invites the listener to ask for everything (the good and the bad) from that person we just connect with- but to be fair the listener must also give everything in order to not just fade into the dark of the night. Soft pop soundscape full of modern day romanticism and pulled together by Matt’s pop perfect vocals.
