If It's Too Loud...

"Please Come Home for Christmas" is one of the most common holiday songs around. It was originally done by Charles Brown in 1960, and has been covered a bunch since then by the likes of Jon Bon Jovi and The Eagles. Now it's Boston's blindspot's turn! They typically release music that lives squarely in between rock and pop, not really choosing either more than the other. Their version of "Please Come Home for Christmas" is surprisingly true to the original. It's a soulful cover that could truly have been released any time over the last sixty plus years. Alexa Economou absolutely nails the vocals on this one, and truly shines throughout. You can watch blindspot's version of "Please Come Home for Christmas" below.

Photo via Facebook The latest from Boston's blindspot occupies an interesting sonic territory. "Still Breathing" is far too pop to be considered a rock song. In particular, Alexa Economou's vocals are enchantingly poppy. But, the song just has too much of an edge to truly be pop. If anything, it's edgy power pop that leans way into the pop side of things without quite diving all the way in, while still being a rock song. I'm going to implore you to listen to "Still Breathing" all the way through, especially if you normally turn away from more pop based music. Even if it doesn't fully grab you at first, blindspot have this natural charm that is destined to win you over by the time it's over. You can watch the video for "Still Breathing" below.
