Paul Roth Embraces Americana Sound With “L.A.”

Aussie expat Paul Roth is giving me nostalgic vibes with his new single “L.A.” He says the Americana track was mostly inspired by the TV show Californication, but I can’t help thinking about classic West Coast rock acts like The Eagles and Jackson Browne as I hear it.

“I like how sometimes sad songs can sound happy and vice-versa,” he explained. “I really like how it works here as it gives a sense of peace, contentment and happiness in what on the surface seems like a sad song lyrically.”

Paul is taking advantage of the downtime from touring and focusing on recording and releasing more new songs throughout the year.

Janey Release Shimmery Pop Gem “L.A.”

It might be Thursday, but after a few days away celebrating my wedding anniversary this one is feeling like a Monday to me. If you’re dragging your feet as well, allow Janey to put some pep in your step. Their irresistible new pop banger “L.A.” has got all the good vibes you need to get through the day.

Janey are Central Coast-based sibling duo Billy and Sarah Otto. Just like other cool sibling acts like HAIM and Echosmith, there’s a real chemistry about what they do that just makes sense. These guys don’t even need to be in the same place to make it work. This track came about during a FaceTime conversation, when Billy was driving around downtown L.A. drumming on his steering wheel. Sarah sang the hook and the song started to take shape. It paints an honest picture of the City of Angels, a place that’s full of possibilities, yet somewhere where artists face rejection and abject poverty as they attempt to make their dreams come true.

“L.A.” is the first single from Janey’s forthcoming EP, due out later this year.
