Multi-platinum recording artist Bryce Vine, known for hits “Drew Barrymore” and “La La Land,” kicks off May with a hot new album. Motel California is Bryce Vine’s sophomore album, but his first independent LP. It is an eleven-track album that features never-before-heard songs and fan favorites, such as “DRUGS,” “Vine St.” and the titular, “Motel California.” The eclectic album has something for everyone as it borrows sounds from various genres: Alternative, Country, Hip-Hop/Rap, Pop, Rock, etc.

The album kicks off with the titular song, “Motel California.” The track is a smooth, heartfelt record that is brought to life with a music video. The artsy visual depicts California’s imperfect perfections and adds engaging animation. Motel California then turns to a previously released record, “DRUGS,” which also is accompanied by a music video. The music video furthers the motel theme.

Motel California is chock full of jams and collaborators. Track eight, “Lauryn Hill,” features hip-hop duo Flyana Boss. The song masterfully blends Bryce Vine’s poppy sound with Flyana Boss’ hard-hitting flow. Track ten, “Rocky Mountain,” features singer-songwriter Brittney Spencer. The two harmonize perfectly in the Country duet. The penultimate song, “JANE FONDA 2,” is with rapper Mickey Avalon. It is a fun record that stays true to Mickey Avalon’s distinct sound.

Bryce Vine does not disappoint with Motel California. The unskippable album is immaculate from start to finish. Although summer is just getting started, Motel California will undoubtedly be in the running for album of the summer – maybe even album of the year.
