Champ Clark - Beatle Boots On!
Pop
CA, US



Overall Impression: Champ Clark delivers a joyful, nostalgia-fueled hit of mid-'60s pop magic with "Beatle Boots On!" Built on bright acoustic strumming and tight group vocal harmonies, the track captures the buoyant energy of the early British Invasion era. Clark playfully weaves classic Beatles song titles directly into the lyrics and real audio clips into the arrangement, tracing a lifelong passion for rock 'n' roll that began on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964. A rockabilly-style electric guitar solo brings a fantastic surge of energy right before the song builds to its driving final refrain. Overall, Champ Clark's "Beatle Boots On!" is a fun, infectious homage to the enduring legacy and timeless beat of Mersey sound pop, and should appeal to Beatlemaniacs of all ages.

Strongest Point(s): Solid production and mix, has a wonderful retro quality to it that obviously serves the song. Love the crowd noise and emcee, nice small touch that helps with listener engagement. Fantastic energy straight from the top. Outstanding song structure that sounds like it was ripped from the sixties. Excellent rhythmic character, propulsive groove with that instantly recognizable Merseybeat bounce and shuffle. Bass and guitar work together well. Very cool guitar solo with terrific vintage tone that breaks the track up nicely, setting up the second bridge. Nice repetition on the final chorus. Great vocal performance all around, passionate delivery in the style of the era. Backing harmonies sound amazing, and sit well in the overall mix. Lyrics are jam packed with nostalgia and a wide variety of song references, plenty of fan service for Beatlemaniacs. All in all, this is an incredibly fun and wistful track that should have wide appeal, particularly among fans of the Fab Four.

Center Stage Artist - Perico Hernandez

Image
Jose Caridad Hernandez , better known as “Perico”, is a sonero/percussionist/composer/songwriter who creates “organic  cuban music.” Born in Pinar del Rio, Cuba, Perico is the second to the youngest of twelve siblings and the only one who became a musician. Perico began his musical training as a young boy in Havana.  He watched the street rumberos creating amazing rhythms on the “tumbadoras” (congas), and after watching Patato Valdez play congas on a TV show, Perico decided that’s what he wanted to do. Perico gradually learned from the “rumberos” and at age 14 became the conguero for a neighborhood group, Conjunto Monte Carlo. He was eventually recruited to play with the popular Conjunto Casino. Regarding his nickname Perico, he tells the story that as a kid he walked around the neighborhood with an elderly man called “Perico.” Pretty soon the neighbors started saying “Here come Perico y Periquito.” Perico has said “Maybe the name was meant to be because I’m now a sonero and...

More On PopScore - How It Works

After two weeks of PopScore we're thrilled with how much interest it has generated. We have awarded hundreds of thousand of Play Credits and have received a tremendous amount of positive feedback. There have also been a fair number of questions. Three recurring questions that we will try and answer below are: - How is the PopScore calculated? - What’s a good PopScore? - How can I improve my PopScore? So here's the lowdown: How is the PopSc ore calculated? As some of you probably know, each time we play your song to one of Jango's 7 Million listeners we ask them to rate your song. We do this through the use of a pop up window (the Make’m or Break ‘em overlay). When listening to your song the listener can give a thumbs up, thumbs down, become your fan, leave a comment and more.

SONG REVIEW 🎵📝 Johnny Void and The Others - What I Say Is Cool

Image
Johnny Void and The Others - What I Say Is Cool Metal, Punk, Hardcore Florida, United States Overall Impression: "What I Say is Cool" is an exciting release from the vault of Florida based punk rockers, Johnny Void and The Others. With the lineup of Johnny Void (guitar/vox), Michael Blackford (bass), and Jason Burrows (drums), the band recorded this track in January 1996 at L N G Studios in Merrit Island, FL. This track wastes no time in getting down to business, immediately hitting the listener with the full force of distorted guitar, frenetic drumming and a screaming, guttural vocal delivery through the verse, before landing on the more melodic titular hook of "What I say is cool." A quick modulation serves as a bridge, before returning to the main riff and finishing out this brief but wild ride. Punk rock aficionados should be on the lookout for not one, but two musical anthologies from Johnny Void and The Others, released on Rakka Rakka R...
