[MOHLovesAlaska]

@UncleBud they are new to you as well!! Awesome, like I stated earlier, I found them by accident just by watching reaction video's on YouTube. @UncleBud if you ever get the chance and needing some laughter in your day, you have got to watch reaction music video's on YouTube, especially the ones that have the Righteous Brothers and Home Free. You will not be at all disappointed. 

Have a great night, take care and stay safe.

Good Tuesday evening, I have selected three songs for the GSOTD post and playlist. Enjoy the music. 

Retro Pop: If I Can't Have You by Leona Lewis. If I Can't Have You  "If I Can't Have You" is a disco song written by the Bee Gees in 1977. The song initially appeared on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack in a version by Yvonne Elliman, released in November 1977. The Bee Gees' own version appeared a month later as the B-side of "Stayin' Alive". It was co-written by Barry Gibb along with his brother Maurice Gibb. Leona Lewis's cover of the Bee-Gees was released in December 2021. 

Alternative Rock: 2 Heads by Coleman Hell. 2 Heads  “It is said that 2 heads are better than one.” Coleman Hell, the singer-songwriter, argues that if the heads are not nodding in the same metaphorical direction, then they could be creating a monster. A defining feature of this song is the blend of electronic and pop elements, along with the unmistakable banjo riff.

Electronic music//Alternative Rock: Keep It by Queens. Keep It  Queens is a Polish girl trio formed in February 2005 by Polish Music Agency. The group is one of the best-known girl bands in Poland. After a minor success with their debut album, the group started touring, but illnesses caused several shows to be canceled. The group was then recast, with only Monika Niedek remaining from the original members. The new lineup's first single, "We Are The Queens", was finally released in early 2007, but the song didn't gain much success. A bit later, when the video was recorded, Queens did a short promotional campaign and decided to take a short break. After the break, both the whole group and the Polish Music Agency decided to remix and re-release the last single. East Clubbers have mixed the song in 5 different versions. The re-released single also includes a song "Piękne Chwile", which was the Polish-language version of "We're The Queens". Queens has two albums in the Pandora library with only 6 monthly listeners.                                                                                     

Take care and stay safe.

@MOHLovesAlaska Wow! I've seen some artists who have appeared on some of my channels but I've never seen anyone with only 6 listeners.

[MOHLovesAlaska]

@UncleBud I accidentally came across this all-women trio group two days ago. The song Keep It was in a list of similar songs to the song I was listening to. I was searching for some more music to add to "My Reading Playlist". So, I gave it a listen and I really liked it. Just about 2 years ago I came across another music artist named Ericka Wennerstrom (great music) at the time she only had 127 monthly listeners. When you get some time to check these music artists out, you may like what you hear. 

Take care, and stay safe. 

[UncleBud]

@MOHLovesAlaska I'll try to check them out later.

I love the duality of it. I’ve gone through a lot, and I’m finally at a place to share my experiences through my music. I’ve been through the fire, and I’ve come out on the other side better, not bitter and sure of who I am. I am so, so grateful.”

Pop//Singer-songwriter: Dream On by Ben Rector. Dream On   Benjamin Evans Rector is an American singer, songwriter, and record producer based in Nashville, Tennessee.

I also like how you shared the song Graduation (Friends Forever). 😁

@AdamPandora I thank you for your support. I'm also going through some playlists to add Rap and Hip-Hop (clean only). This post was created for Pandora's community, but I also wanted it to be for all listeners, not just a select group. I know Pandora has a lot of subscribers that have the family plan, so I just wanted it to be user-friendly for all ages. I know you, along with @ErickPandora as well as many other listeners like Rap and Hip-Hop. Cling on to some patience and I will start adding some Rap, and Hip-Hop just as soon as I can look over some playlists that @ErickPandora has suggested for me, along with some other playlists that I have found. I'm also open to all suggestions. 

Have a great Friday, and a great weekend, take care and stay safe.
