Hot Chelle Rae – You Sing I Write

With energetic, danceable tracks Nashville-based Hot Chelle Rae are bound to convince even the most shy wallflower to make their way to the dance floor. Combining pop rock and radio friendly choruses, their debut release Lovesick Electric grabs the listener’s attention on the first track.

Forming in 2005, Hot Chelle Rae’s name was inspired by one of the group’s most devoted female fans. Having toured with Third Eye Blind, The Rocket Summer, Sherwood, Black Gold and Reece, the band has been perfecting their stage show. With a catchy sound that is reminiscent to fellow pop rockers Boys Like Girls and killer guitar riffs it is hard to believe this is their debut release.

Tracks like “I Like to Dance” (listen here) and “Never Have I Ever” have an unfaltering energy while beautiful ballad “Bleed” show the band can switch things up and be more serious. A love song that holds striking resemblance to Boys Like Girls’ “Two Is Better Than One,” all Hot Chelle Rae need is their Taylor Swift duet. “I bleed my heart out on this paper for you/So you can see what I can’t say/I’m dying here/’Cause I can’t say what I want to/I bleed my heart out just for you,” frontman Ryan Keith Follese sings with soaring musical accompaniment.

Watch Hot Chelle Rae’s latest music video for “Bleed” below.

Sunday brings my weekly dose of four songs I’m currently addicted to. Read on to listen to tracks from artists on the rise as well as some music legends. I’d love to know which songs you can’t take off your iTunes playlist!

After watching an interview with Michael Buble on CNN earlier this week I listened to his latest single, “Haven’t Met You Yet.” With that classic Buble sound, it is no wonder his recent release, Crazy Love debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard charts.

A few weeks ago I interviewed Matt Hires and chatted about his music being featured on “Private Practice” and “Grey’s Anatomy.” Definitely a fan of music in TV shows, Hires could not have predicted what happened this past week. On Thursday, “Grey’s Anatomy” used his track, “Out of the Dark” as the closing song during a poignant moment of the episode. Following the broadcast his debut album, Take Us To The Start jumped over 100 spots on the iTunes album chart!

You can watch Hires’ “Out Of The Dark” music placement on “Grey’s Anatomy” here.

When out with friends and being introduced to someone new, the typical, “Where are you from?” question always comes up. Being a Jersey girl myself, it’s beyond frustrating to continuously hear the insults and endless remarks made about New Jersey. Bruce Springsteen comes to my defense this week in his classic, “Jersey Girl.”
