It's that time of the week again, to spotlight what I'm looking forward to on Spotify tonight and ahead in the coming week that I'm aware of. Last week also brought a surprise single from The Dead Daisies that revealed Glenn Hughes is the new lead singer of that band and an enjoyable single from The Who's next and possibly final album, so there may be some surprise singles for upcoming projects I'm not aware of.
BabyMetal-Metal Galaxy; The third album from the Japanese girl-led metal band, Metal Galaxy has released quite a few singles already, the ones I most enjoy being "Distortion" and "Elevator Girl." I'm also seeing this band next week at the Paramount Theater in Seattle, and this will be a nice warmup to seeing them live, especially since there are a few tracks not publicly available yet from this album that they've performed live.
The Ferrymen-A New Evil; Ronnie Romero is one of the busiest singers in heavy metal currently, having released singles with Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow earlier in the year, recorded a song with Michael Schenker and he's now releasing this album. It's easy to see why he's in demand, his passionate delivery and Spanish accent make him stand out in the field and you want to hear more. This album will allow just that.
Down N Outz-This Is How We Roll; A supergroup formed by singer Joe Elliot of Def Leppard and the members of Hair Metal band The Quireboys, this group apparently covers Mott the Hoople songs. I don't really know, though, since the only song of that band I know is "All the Young Dudes," which David Bowie wrote. Regardless, it's good music and it's always nice to hear Joe Elliot's voice.
Freddie Mercury-Several Solo Career albums, the ones I'm most interested in are Never Boring and Mr. Bad Guy; One of the top voices of rock and roll, heck, one of the top singing voices ever. Freddie Mercury had an amazing multi-octave delivery and his solo music is getting a remastered re-release for the present so we can hear it again. It likely won't be as memorable as Queen, but it will be some amazing songs worth listening to all the same.
