Song Pick of the Week – March 19, 2021

SPW Salt Lake Bard Royal Bliss, Talia Keys Andrew W Boss

Featuring I Love You by Royal Bliss, Love Is by Talia Keys and the Love and Forever by Andrew W Boss.

Recently, I wrote story on live music that triggered a few folks. I suspect there are a few people who would like to have words, but I’m not gonna let that stop the mission here at Salt Lake Bard, which is to promote the best music from Utah, and help the region grow its brand as a bonafide music center.

To that end, I want to celebrate a few of the great bands that were part of that story. Enjoy!


I Love You | Royal Bliss

I love the way Royal Bliss front man Neal Middleton, says it like it is. My favorite line in the song, I Love You—off the 2012 release Waiting Out The Storm—is “if I was better in knowing the right words to say, I would need to write this mother fuckin’ song.” Learn more about the band at royalbliss.com, stream their catalog on Spotify and Apple Music, purchase on Amazon and watch on Youtube. Scott Cullins


Love Is | Talia Keys and the Love

Love Is is one of my favorite songs from he 2018 album, Were Here. A little love is something we could all use right now. Learn more at taliakeys.com, listen on Spotify, watch on Youtube, or buy on Apple Music or Amazon. – Scott Cullins


Forever – Andrew W Boss

Wrapping up this week’s pick is Forever, a new single from Andrew W Boss. The song is a kick-ass example of the band’s Nü-metal/Underground style. The official video of Forever was released during the kickoff of the band’s what 2021 What We Do tour—which I discuss in the aforementioned article.  Follow Andrew W Boss on Instagram, stream on Spotify and Apple Music, and watch on YouTube.
