The Song of the Day for August 13th, 2010: "All For You," by Micah G

And the song is.... All For You, by Hawaiian island-music artist Micah G. Now, I have had one hell of a time trying to locate bio info on Micah G, and still can't seem to find much on him. He has a myspace page HERE. He comes out of Honolulu, Hawaii on the island of Oahu, according to his myspace page, and that is about the lot of it. Now, All For You is a single-release, which just came out last month on July 24th, 2010, so it is still fairly new. Now Youtube still doesn't have this song despite the fact that its almost a month old already, so you will have to go to this link to actually here a sample of it. Otherwise you can listen to and buy it on itunes of amazon at the adjacent link. Check it!

And the song of the day is....

....Whisper, by Hawaiian island music band Maoli. Maoli started up in Maui originally with 14 year old Glenn Awong who started writing and performing his own original music at the encouragement of his high-school music teacher. In 2005 Glenn later formed a band and won a Battle of the Bands contest. In 2008 Maoli released their first full length album titled Groovin. Now, Whisper is a single off of their newest album, which is to be released in stores on August 3rd, 2010, titled Rock Easy. The youtube clip below shows it as being off of their Groovin album, but you won't find it on there so unless I am mistaken, it will be on their new album. So mos def looking forward to that! Enjoy!
