Not many changes to my latest Top 30, as Fake Empire‘s “Imposter Syndrome” holds onto the #1 spot for a second week, and there are no new debuts this week. Sam Fender moves into second place with hs touching “People Watching”, while Texas-based singer-songwriter Brian Lambert moves up two spots with his sultry rocker “Take This Heart”. “Without A Doubt” by Kentucky-based “No Wave Post Punk” rock band Charm School enters the top 10.

Cool to see Brian Lambert closing in on number one! Will he make it? Will he not? The only way to find out is to stay tuned to Eclectic Music Lover’s weekly to 30!

I just listened again to “Imposter Syndrome” by Fake Empire. It really is a compelling sounding song, especially when you listen with headphones, which I really always should do, not only occasionally. Undoubtably, it’s worthy to stay on top of your chart. Once again, the atmospheric vibe and the lead vocals reminded me a bit of The Church.
I also like “People Watching” by Sam Fender. At this time, I only know him by name. Based on sampling a few of Fender’s most streamed songs on Spotify, I have a feeling I might dig him.
Also, great seeing Brian Lambert’s “Take This Heart” moving up. I like the song’s neat garage vibe.

Thanks Christian. Though each is very different in sound and style, they’re all great songs. I really like Sam Fender’s songwriting and vocals.

One of the benefits of reviewing and listening to songs on your lists Jeff is a bit of a brain reset. I spend many hours each day immersed in cover songs that are typically quite old. So it’s good to refresh the browser now and then.
