Take the Rock energy from The Presets and splash in some melancholy from The Postal Service and top if off with a Giorgio Moroder bassline and wala, you have “The Optimist”, from City Rain. Well balanced mix of Rock, Pop, and electronic musings.

City Rain – The Optimist

Meanwhile – Luvletta
One name just jumped into my mind as soon as I heard the start of this track, that name? Prince. This track has hallmark touches of a prince track with genre blending of Rock, Pop, Funk, Electronic, and even a little Gospel. Something Prince excelled at and Meanwhile has most definitely learned from.

Rob Cantor – Old Bike
A mix between Queen’s “Bicycle Race” and Paul McCartney’s “Wonderful Christmas Time” but a bit more somber. Harmonies are quite fitting of a Paul McCartney track tunneled through a Freddie Mercury composition. My only hang-up on this track is the end. I’m not really into the Rock goddess at the end, but you can decide for yourself.
