New Song Obsession: “All Four Seasons” by Mark Sholtez

Mark Sholtez has done it again with his new single “All Four Seasons.” Just as his last single quickly won my heart, this track and its accompanying video leave me feeling positively giddy.

“I often hint in my lyrics at the idea that women are complicated and confusing creatures,” Mark explained. “I wanted this song to be celebration of that complexity and unpredictability.”

He’s definitely achieved that; the song has some of the most perceptive lyrics I’ve ever heard, and the clip has some of the cutest animals. It’s a winner on all fronts!

“All Four Seasons” comes from Mark’s album The Distance Between Two Truths, which will hit stores on July 9.

New Song Obsession: “We Could Get Lost” by Mark Sholtez

When I first encountered Mark Sholtez some years ago he was supporting Human Nature. He was the sort of jazz artist I might expect to see in Las Vegas; I could tell he was good but he was also incredibly cheesy. Still, he must have been doing something right because I remember his name all those years later. And now he seems to have reinvented himself as a mellow singer-songwriter type. I must say, the makeover’s working for him. “We Could Get Lost” is the first taste of Mark’s upcoming album The Distance Between Two Truths. Mark penned the track with Iain Archer of Snow Patrol. I think this is gorgeous, and I can’t wait to hear more!
