Shareef Addo: Secrets
Shareef Addo sent in this video for his cool bass-centric tune “Secrets”, and it’s been stuck in my head since. The bass drives the song, but vocalist Adam Benjamin helps to fill out the melodic content.
This is a great example of making the bass interesting while focusing on the songwriting aspect. Well done, Shareef!

I almost missed this one. The bassline is progressive and cool. The vocals add a melodic line in another register which my ears where waiting for. Good stuff, I DIG!
