    Tom Odell’s Got "Another Love"

    May 28, 2013 /

    Preparing for the release of his full length debut Long Way Down, the British singer known as Tom Odell delivers his new “short film” video for the single “Another Love.” The track first appeared on the singer’s 2012 released EP Songs from Another Love. When I first heard Odell’s fresh sound and vocal delivery on his lead single “Hold Me,” I was instantly hooked. The past few weeks I’ve found myself growing increasingly more intrigued by the buzzing Brit and the unique promotional efforts he [and his team] have used to build hype surrounding the upcoming release. With the appeal of a grungy Tiger Beat teen and the talent and style of…

    What The GIF? Vol. 5

    May 23, 2013 /

    Memorial Day is upon us, which means the pools are ready for splashing (and peeing), white pants are back in season (is that still a thing?) and people are gearing up for a 3-day weekend (does anyone know why we actually celebrate this holiday?)! To kick start yours, V for Vetrano is bringing you another installment of What The GIF?, a countdown of the Top 10 things that run through my head on repeat all day long and keeping me up at night. The past few weeks have delivered some hilarious moments, which made narrowing it down to the top ten quite a challenge. But sorting through thousands of well-crafted…

    First Listen: Lana Del Rey "Queen Of Disaster"

    May 21, 2013 /

    The pouty-mouthed songstress whose latest single “Young & Beautiful” is the standout track from The Great Gatsby soundtrack is at it again. After the rebooted deluxe release of Lana Del Rey‘s debut album Born To Die emerged last fall, rumors swirled that the self-proclaimed gangsta Nancy Sinatra was going to hang up her mic and focus on new projects – albeit her modeling career was one of them, after being named the face of both H&M and Jaguar (yes, really). Luckily for me, those rumors were the farthest thing from true as new tracks have emerged online. The first, “Queen of Disaster,” is said to be a track in consideration for her…

    Country Music’s New Mafia

    May 8, 2013 /

    Move over Big & Rich. Party’s over Gretchen Wilson. There’s a new group of red-red-red-red-rednecks taking over the genre. Although it seems overnight, the rising fame of Blake Shelton and his wife Miranda Lambert has been a steady climb. However, in the recent months the pair have lent their powerhouse celebrity to some of their country-fried friends creating a new kind of country clique. In Shelton’s latest video for “Boys ‘Round Here,” the singer parties with a few of the folks that have joined their posse including country-cutie RaeLynn and ladies from Miranda’s side project the Pistol Annies. Also joining the crew (not featured), pop diva Kelly Clarkson who’s marrying Blake’s manager and Reba…

    Video Premiere: Tim McGraw "Highway Don’t Care"

    May 7, 2013 /

    They say what comes around, goes around. And by “they,” I’m sure you know I mean Justin Timberlake. The debut of Tim McGraw‘s new video for “Highway Don’t Care” seems to prove that popular lyric’s sentiment. You probably remember it wasn’t long ago that the young blonde country phenomenon known as Taylor Swift burst upon the music scene with her first single “Tim McGraw.” Now, with the addition of Keith Urban, the singer teamed up with the man she paid homage to years ago. The single off McGraw’s Two Lanes of Freedom record has been racing up the country charts and now, with the addition of a dramatic new video the single will…

    Artist to Watch: Elise Davis

    May 6, 2013 /

    Where most artists wear their heart on their sleeve, Elise Davis wears hers in her emotionally-packed voice. The Little Rock native is making waves in Nashville’s music scene after winning American Songwriter‘s “The Pub Contest” — a hefty publishing deal with HoriPro Entertainment — which was judged by artists like Holly Williams and Hunter Hayes earlier this month. The year-long deal will be the first venture into co-writing for the solo-singer, who has written all of her previous efforts, and was honored to have been selected for the opportunity. Often drawing comparisons to the likes of Emmylou Harris and Lucinda Williams, Davis’ music has captured the attention of more than just…
