Alex B hits 1 Million YouTube views w/"Will You Be My Girl"

Philadelphia's very own up and coming pop star Alex B recently hit 1 Million YouTube views for his song and video "Will You Be My Girl". We recently featured Alex as our Indie Love Songs artist of the month with his groovin' uptempo Pop tune "Rollercoaster". We're so happy to see Alex cross the 1 Million mark for "Will You Be My Girl" that we're giving him an extra month of fame here at LoveSongs.com.

Currently only 14 years old, Alex performs like he has been performing on stage for years and years. He is so amazingly comfortable entertaining the crowd young and old and its obvious he's having the time of his life enjoying the experience. Add to that Alex's growing collection of great original pop songs, you now have a recipe for a big star in the making. Alex has already performed at some of the top venues in the Philadelphia area including the TLA downtown, World Café Live in Wilmington and multiple Xfinity Live events. It's only a matter of time before this young pop star bubbles up onto the national scene.

Check out Alex's "Rollercoaster" now playing on the front page of www.LoveSongs.com till the end of June.

If you haven't already heard "Will You Be My Girl" here's the Official video that crossed the one million mark:

Yet another great pop tune by Alex is "This Thing Called Love" and here's the video:

We will definitely be keeping an eye on Alex's progress towards the national stage and wish him the very best on his journey.

Apple/Beats Music jumping into the Music Streaming World

Apple computers recent acquisition of Beats means that it will be jumping headfirst into the music streaming business competing with Pandora, Spotify and the legions of others. Amazon will also be jumping into the bigger music streaming pool soon as they announced they'll be offering a new Music Streaming service to their millions of Amazon Prime members. All these developments definitely make an interesting story-line for what options we as music lovers have to hear our music (anyone still missing our vinyl records??). Here's a recent article on how the Apple Beats combination might fit into the streaming scene: How Does Apple Beats Shake Up Music Streaming?

Do you currently use Pandora, Spotify or Beats music streaming and if you do how do you like it so far? How would you like to see these services change to better enhance our musical listening experience? Leave a comment here and let us know.

That's all for today folks - be back later this weekend with another post - until then have mucho fun tooooday!

Peace, Love & Laughter,

"Me and My Broken Heart" by Rixton - Now THAT's a catchy hook

New English band Rixton have cracked the Billboard Top 40 with their first single "Me and My Broken Heart". The second you hear the opening chorus being you know this is gonna be good. Very catchy hook, great sounding vocal and a lyric that many can relate to when we're down and out on love:

All I need is a little love in my life
All I need is a little love in the dark
Just a little but I'm hoping it might
Kick start Me and my Broken Heart

Our hearts sometimes neeeeed a little kick start and this is the perfect pop tune to do it!

Alex B from Philly is our Indie Love Song Artist of the Month for May

Back on the US side of the pond we have an extremely talented young artist from Philadelphia making some great pop music. We're talking about none other than Alex B. I've seen Alex perform several times and he is the real deal - He has the voice, the look, AND the songs...but most of all he has IT. He has that magical star quality that the rest of us run around trying to figure out how to invent, when the truth is some artists are just born with it. Check out Alex's great poptune "Rollercoaster" playing on the front page of LoveSongs.com

Here also is a fun video of Alex's song "Will You Be My Girl" - Check out both songs and see if you don't agree that there's something pretty cool going on with 14 year old Alex B and his music.
