I go to a lot of shows (usually I prefer my music live) so it’s no surprise that from time to time someone will pass me a demo CD.  Out of respect to the artist and a great love for music I try to listen to all demos at least once.  While the extent of interest for most of these demos ends after the first listen there are a few that deserve some blogworthy attention.

Wyldlyfe pulls elements from several different genres and styles which include: R&B, Hip-Hop, Rock, Neo-Soul, and so much more.  Upon first listen (then several more to verify what I heard) I immediately recognized some heartfelt lyrics, optimistic melodies, all backed with some nice beats.  I thought to myself “what isn’t there to like about this music?”  I’m so glad that this demo somehow found its way to me because it’s great. So, as the guys of WyldLyfe suggest “press PLAY and vibe to the music….”

[SAMPLE SONG] WyldLyfe – “Walk Away”
