10 Desert Island Discs From Down Under

Here at the b5media music channel, we’ve been chatting about the albums we’d take if we were stranded on a desert island. Sure this list isn’t entirely practical. After all, we rarely get to take the things we want when we’re stranded, and when we get there the batteries in our discman probably won’t last […]

New Song Obsession: Touched By Love

My latest song obsession is from 18-year-old soul singer Eran James. He first caught my eye when he released his debut album three years ago. I couldn’t believe how much talent this teen had.
Now he’s back with this summery slice of blue-eyed soul, “Touched By Love.” It’s the perfect soundtrack for a chilled-out weekend at […]
