XLOV emerges as the standout discovery with their EP "I ONE," particularly the crossover hit "1&Only." The track masterfully blends English lyrics with Latin phrases, clearly positioning itself for global appeal.

The episode concludes with ONE CLICK STRAIGHT's nostalgic "otw", which transports listeners to the alternative rock and Britpop era of decades past. With influences ranging from The Cure to The Beatles, this track evokes wistful summer days and college radio memories while remaining fresh and relevant.

I don't know if we're going to talk about that later in a rant and ramblings or something, but he did at least you know, acknowledge that. But yes, today's solstice out well, actually it was sort of like last night into today, because the the 20th was the at like 10 42 was the marking of the exact moment of the longest day, blah, blah, blah. So from now on, the days are going to get shorter, it's going to get darker, earlier and earlier every day.
Speaker 1That's fine. I don't want to be hot, I know. Only it's going to get hotter. That's the problem.
Speaker 2That's the problem, I know.
Speaker 1It's so bad already and it's only Yep.
Speaker 2Well, it's almost the end of June but still, Yesterday family had for dinner ice cream.
Speaker 1Yeah, no, it was.
Speaker 2Although it was.
Speaker 1There was a cool breeze yesterday.
Speaker 2In the morning it was like really nice. I opened all the windows. I'm like, yeah, yeah. And then the day started to progress and I'm like, oh my God, it's getting hot Going on. Where's the breeze? This is awful.
Speaker 1You'll hear Panic, and, and I talk we hate the heat.
Speaker 2I am not the only one because I had to go to the studio a little bit earlier and there was another, another show finishing and actually one of those programmers said I am not leaving this. Today is the first and last day. You'll see me out until Monday, and maybe I'll stay home Monday because I don't want to be out in the heat.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2They're not going out of their place.
Speaker 1Going to turn on the AC and hibernate, right.
Speaker 2It's like I want to hibernate in my house. And then when we went to this supermarket to get ice cream, when we were heading out, he was coming in with the cart and I'm like he's like, hey, we actually interact each other by the ice cream aisle. He sees what I'm carrying. He's like I am going for that. And then I said slim pickings, man, slim picking.
Speaker 2He's like oh man, because it's on sale. Right, it was, haagen-dazs was on sale. So I'm like, yeah, I got lucky, I got my favorite, I got my favorite flavors. He's like, oh, okay, I'll grab what they have, if not, I'll just get something else. But you know, yeah, he was getting ready, he was I'm gonna be eating ice cream all weekend. Uh, you know, it's true, like you don't want to cook. It's too damn hot. No, even if you have air conditioning here, it's like why you want to cook and well, because then you're just making the air conditioner work harder, trying to combat the heat.
Speaker 2Yeah yeah, that's why you eat ice cream or salads, depending on who you are well, I was running around closing all the shades.
Speaker 1Yeah, on the side of the house that was getting the sun until this afternoon and then I'll close all those shades. But because I like the natural light, yeah, but with the sun beating in the windows no doomed I had to move my two spider planes out of there.
Speaker 2Oh yeah, because they'll fry. I was looking at them. I'm like, oh my god, what's going on? Junior, you're looking like I don't know. And then be? I was looking at them and I'm like, oh my God, what's going on? Junior, you're looking like I don't know. And then Bebe was looking the same way and I'm like, but Rachel, rachel Green, it's in her glory. You've seen how tall that plant has gotten yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2And she's giving me babies and I was like, oh, you like this weather? Okay, I'm just going to keep you here, I'm going to bring your sisters out of there and put them in the kitchen.

ONE OR 8's "365" Analysis
Speaker 2I know it's remixes. Yeah, we were like we can't really talk about that because we've talked about that. It's not new, it's just saying in Japanese that's the only difference on this song we still love the music, but you've already heard us talk about it. You can find the episodes there is a group called one or eight and they drop a song called 365, so we're gonna talk about I want to listen to that one and talk about it okay, all right, sounds good here we go oh I thought it was going to be sinister, but that's sweet voice at the beginning.

Speaker 2This person that's the 365 right, they want you all the time oh, yeah, I like that.
Speaker 1Oh, now, the bass is super heavy. This is to really shake you up. So what's interesting about this one? It's it's sort of light, but a little more driven than the first song we listened to, so it's still got sort of a summer feel to it, but but like the nighttime, yeah this is more sultry.
Speaker 2Oh wow, this is. This is a person who is just enchanted and intoxicated by this person because they just only want this person as per the other one. They're like, hey, the ladies are driving me crazy. This is just like, yeah, you're the one that I just want to be with only right.

Uh, i'ma be, oh then, we just did the whole thing because we're like oh, my god this song gets better.
Speaker 1Like on each mix, we went cray cray we went cray cray on that one that was probably one of the first times where we were like we're gonna listen to everything because we're like we need to listen to more of this and it's like, oh my god.
Speaker 2So they finally dropped and post another EP that is called I won. Either I won or one one, because now they're using the eye as a one. Anyways, get my sassiness, but it's kind of like the same thing. Actually, they have three songs on this and then the instrumentals, but apparently one and only is the leader track for this ep. So we're gonna. We're gonna listen to that one and maybe listen to the other two and see how it feels just like we did last time, wait.

Speaker 2Yeah, you talked about two, three other groups and now we're like we have done none of them. Okay, well, you know, just giving love to like these debuted groups. You know they only have so much music, you know. And what we like is, when we find a debuted group, we like to see them evolve and see what they have and kind of, we do have our faves the scores that we always give them a lot of attention, okay, but we want to give love to these debuted ones where they just trying to get fans right.
Speaker 1Well, I was gonna say because, because one or eight only just came out like debuted last year.

Speaker 1I don't think it's been quite a year.
X Love's "One and Only" Breakdown
Speaker 2Okay, all right. X Love, all right. So it's going to be X Love, and the song is One and Only we seem to have a theme going here. It's a synchronicity, all right, good beat right off the Girl. I'm just like going by the new songs, these 30 songs that I actually dropped this year, jeez.

Speaker 2Hey, papi, chula what.
Speaker 1Mamacita, eh, margaritas Chica. Wow, well, it's got that little sort of Latin yeah, I don't want nobody else. Ah, that little sort of Latin, yeah, I don't want nobody else. I like the way they did that this single knows what market it wants.
Speaker 2It wants not only the Latinas, but just the Western market. They want the whole North America, central America, south America, the Caribbean. They won everybody on this side, wow.
Speaker 1This is another, though just good summer beats. A good cruising around with the top down on the car. You know this is so hot. Oh wow, that little 90s voice.
Speaker 2I know what you like. Oh, wow, that little 90s voice. I know what you like. Oh, my God, the background voices. Oh, that's so sweet.
Speaker 1Well, there's some like nice smoky, smooth voices here.
Speaker 2Whoever's in the background with that out of tune. Whatever they're doing is hot yeah.
Speaker 1Well, I was thinking that the guy semi-rapping there, that smooth, smoky voice, yes, yes, actually, all their voices are smooth and silky and tug at the right places in your heart. Yeah, showing.
Speaker 2Yeah, can we say, this is almost a Blackout song.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, definitely.
Speaker 2I try not to. I try not to.
Speaker 1I try not to. I mean because it starts right away. Those beats just draw you in, yeah, and you're just like you know, you got the little shoulder move and the little head bob and you're like oh yeah.
Speaker 2And then you start, the whole body pulse and you're like, oh yeah, you get into this dancing trance with it, and then those vocals to start speaking to you because just to hit those feels and how you feel and the movement, oh yes, this is a blackout song. Yeah, there's something about the the tone of the voices.
Speaker 1They're just that right pitch to sort of do the earworm thing. Yeah, you like you're just drawn into it and you find yourself singing, even though you're like I know three words, but I'm gonna sing, I'm one and only yeah you know what I mean?
Speaker 2yeah, wow I liked that a lot. Uh, the papi chulo threw me. I was like what, no way? And then the spanish words. I'm like oh yeah, I see what you're doing, what I know what market you want yeah, they're throwing their net wide oh yeah, they're taking this whole western side. They're like we want all y'all, we love y'all. We got the song for you, listen to us. Okay, now I gotta listen to the next one. I love these, this group's vocals Amazing. This is what happened to us.
Speaker 1Last time, when we were listening to I'm a B, we were like whoa.
Speaker 2The production of the music and the vocals, the production with the vocals, with the arrangement. They're a gold mine. Please produce them well, because wow.
Speaker 1Well, this is a perfect breakthrough summer song, if this can get some airplay going over here.
Speaker 2Oh yes, Because it's perfect.
Speaker 1It is perfect.
Speaker 2It's perfect for commercial radio. Yeah, actually, I think so far all three perfect for commercial radio.
Speaker 1Yeah, actually, I think so far all three of these have been yes, they could totally play to the Western market. Yes, I'm not just talking America, I'm talking like global market. Yeah, so, wow, uh-huh, they're all that good. Oh, yeah, and they're all, yeah, just perfect for summer. These have all been really like just laid back. You know, summer feel hanging out at night, hanging out during the day. I, I don't know. These have just been awesome. Yes, wow, wow. Well, and you know well, bgyo is not so newbie, but like yeah still newer groups.
Speaker 1You know what I mean.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1Some good producers Striking while it's hot.
Speaker 2You want me to go next one for this EP.
Speaker 1Sure, why not?
Speaker 2Let's see what kind of change it will be.
Speaker 1Although we better do those other groups. We mentioned first People.
Speaker 2People. I'm giving Sarah a face because I really want to okay.
Speaker 1You know what I'll listen to them on my own leisure. The other ones of this album? No, we can do this. No, no, well then, I gotta do some editing, I know that's why she's like lady, I'm the one who edits this nobody will know what I'm talking about, you don't? Know, who we're editing, because I'm going to edit it out. She is good we're getting hooked on some other music.
Speaker 1That's the problem. Good, okay, well, you know what's funny too, right? The other artists we talked about possibly listening to earlier are all very good, but these all seem to be in the same like vibe same right.
Speaker 2Why don't we do this?
Speaker 2so the other artists that we talked about they already have a large reputation right, yeah, they're already established, not that a bgy doesn't bgy doesn't have a large reputation, but at least for for this side, not as much what I have seen, right? So let's keep the category for this group. They don't have as much reputation in the Western world, and then the other ones, since they're so globally popular, we can put it for another episode, all right. Okay, we'll do that that works, because I think to me it's not fair. I don't know.
Speaker 1To talk about the already established artists right.
Speaker 2Well, there's nothing wrong with it.
Speaker 1It's just, it's good to take these up-and-coming groups yeah, and, you know, spread the word about them. Oh, yeah, because the music's really good. Yeah, really good. So I'm fine with it. No, it's, it's all good, I understand. It was just funny because we started on one trajectory and then we totally flailed off from it. And what's funny, though, is because I had listened to this song again in the car. Yeah, with headphones. It's a completely different song. Oh, yeah, completely.
Speaker 2It hits you certain parts of your body that you didn't even know it would hit.
Speaker 1Because I was like, oh, like, oh. Hey, these guys, you know, familiar with them, it's a completely different song different when you're driving versus with your headphones on.
Speaker 2Yes, all right, moving on to the uh song, number two in x loves. I won and that will be one of love one of love.
Speaker 1Okay, I'm not looking at the information okay are you ready?
Speaker 2yes, I am sorry, I was playing the wrong song this is a nice gentle intro.
Speaker 1It has like a dreamy feel.
Speaker 2Yeah, they're sort of whispery. I'm on the one with like the slow dance hall kind of beats, still with a tropical feel.
Speaker 1Yeah, it's similar tempo to the first song, but a different vibe, like a different feel, and it's English again. Yeah, it's English again. Aw, even during storms, I'll take you to the sky, okay.
Speaker 2Very sweet. This is a sweet song. You know, the beats are the production kind of sultry.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2But the melody and the lyrics are more sweet. Oh, oh, I feel melty, I know.
Speaker 1You know, you feel like all melty, like this is the little like hearts in your eyes while you're listening watching them.
Speaker 2I don't know. It's like a song that you feel safe with somebody.
Speaker 1Oh, that's what I mean about. Like you get hard eyes because they're they're so sweet and gentle and kind towards you, I'll let you go.
Speaker 2Yeah, let it flow, okay. So even though they're apart, I mean you know they're together, but if I let you go, you're still gonna be with me. Yeah, because they're like you're still in my heart, yeah oh, wow so it doesn't matter if we're still together or not it's still you, I'll still love you together, and if we're not, oh my god, really wow, let's just hope it's not like in a sort of you know, creeper stalker way. Like geez, I'll let you go, but I'll still always love you no, it's too sweet.
Speaker 1No, it's such a sweet. Yeah, it is so sweet, oh man so different yeah, like I said, like the, the beat was very similar, but the whole overall feel of it was a little more subdued, a little more.
Speaker 2It was sweet, it was kind it was soft yeah safe.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, it wasn't. It wasn't that draw you in blackout like what am I what? This was like a very careful, thoughtful song, yeah wow, that was so sweet.

You know, like you know, move over yeah, yeah, no, that was definitely some some good, completely different from the yeah, that had like so much old school like rap yeah, that was definitely a huge departure from the other two songs.
Speaker 1I know.
Speaker 2The other ones were like oh my god, look at the vibes and the dancing and whatever this is you could kind of tell, though, from the fact that it's business.
Speaker 1Yeah, you know what I mean business me, get off my business.

Speaker 1We really enjoy this group and we want to hear more, we want to see more and I was gonna say like it's, it's been so, it's them, but different each time. Just you know, yeah, very good, very good group. So they are.
Speaker 2Keep an eye on them is there a song that you would like to uh put on this chat? Put on the? Put on this chat. Oh my god, I'm talking like I'm at work I don't.
Speaker 1Was there anybody else sort of on the newer side that has something?
Speaker 2that's what I'm trying to see, if I can find something like. I know those bands oh, yeah, there's. I don't know if we did or not. Let me see if it came out. Oh, I think we only did one song, but they have dropped a new song since the last time we talked about. No, we have not talked about this one. It's from our friends One Click Straight. Oh, okay, they dropped OTW. Okay, we have talked about Telefono and they dropped this one on June 6th.
Speaker 1Oh, okay, pretty recent. Yeah, no, we did not.
Speaker 2We have not talked about it, no so this is another group that we want people to check out. They're so good, they're so good as a band and they're oh my God, please, please check them out. So we're going to be and also we interviewed them. Yes, we did, please check that interview. That was so much fun, they were so cool, they are so cool, anyways. So, um, yeah, like I was saying, they just drop a song on June 6th called OTW, and the name of the group is One Click Street. Are you ready, miss Sarah?
Speaker 1I am All right, but immediately I've got the Cure going through my mind. What did you say? The Cure, the Cure. Yeah, this is a nice light beat too. Another very summer feeling song. They reminded me of light beat too, another very summer-feeling song.
Speaker 2They reminded me of another group, but this is not a British band.
Speaker 1The sweet, oh my God, lemonheads. What the beats or the vocals?
Speaker 2Yeah there's just, yeah, the beats and just the guitars Do you remember the Lemonheads?
Speaker 1Yeah, I do.
Speaker 2There's one song that reminds me a bit of it, but yeah, that's.
Speaker 1There's a very retro feel about it yes, 80s, 90s, just bands the like alternative pop, brit pop kind of feel. Yeah, this is like college band music.
Speaker 2This is the music we went to see our buddies play. Yeah, this is like oh, so-and-so's playing blah blah in somebody's house.
Speaker 1I'm not real sure what they're saying, but it's just a calming sound. It's very relaxing.
Speaker 2Of course you know their production is so good. Oh, we heard a cello Got some strings going on. That just reminds me kind of like the Beatles-esque, you know.
Speaker 1I liked that.
Speaker 2That guitar.
Speaker 1No, when they were all in, they all go. Whoo, that's a very Cure thing to do too. Yeah, how about this guitar solo? Yeah, wow, and the talking in the background yeah what I love about these guys? They it always takes me back to my youth. It's nostalgic.
Speaker 2It's nostalgic for the both of us. That's why we love them so much. Yeah, because their songs resonate to. You know, with us some, some level that we really don't know. Understand the lyrics definitely, but I don't know the melody and just the way they sing which is like yeah and that's that.
Speaker 1It's not quite a harmonica, it's that yeah, I know what you're talking about. I can't remember the name of the thing. It's like the little piano thing that you but you blow on it through. Yeah, it's like a wing. It's a wing instrument with with keys.
Speaker 2Yeah, it's like the little piano thing that you but you blow on it through. Yeah, it's like a wing, it's a wing instrument with with keys. Yeah, that is not because an accordion is kind of like a wing instrument, but you don't blow on it.
Speaker 1You squeeze it, you squeeze the box but, yeah, yeah, yeah but you know what I'm talking about I never remember the name of that darn thing.
Speaker 2You see, I know the instrument. I seen it being played. I don't know Wind keyboard. I don't know.
Speaker 1Blow keyboard. Who was? There was a group that, oh my God, in the 80s a lot, even Cindy Lauper. The Hooters Is that? Who used it?
Speaker 2I don't know, but I remember Cindy Lauper, and one or many of her songs do have it Well, I think for some reason, the Hooters is what sticks out in my head.
Speaker 1They had all the zombies, oh my God, and we danced. That's the one that had. I don't know, but they used that too, that sound. So that's what makes it like listen to a cindy. We're throwing all these bands, but but one click straight. Yeah, they have such a good like control over the, the sounds of brit college pop right, you know what I mean. Like the alternative, yeah, alternative rock, rock, yeah I, they just everything, Because Sego was the first one. We did right, Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2It was a little more. Yeah, it was a little heavier, it was band, band, Just like, got a bit of grunge, you know, but it was Brit, you know, like that Brit pop but also grungy yeah.
Speaker 1I love Sego. I love Sego, right, so they just. I love Siga Right, so they just, like I said, just have this control over so many different sounds. I'm just happy they're doing music.
Speaker 2Remember the last time we were talking about it or I heard about them like wow, it's going to be now over over a year ago. And then when they came out with Siga and I'm like oh, my goodness, I haven't. It's been years since they dropped something and I was so happy to see them and I'm like sorry we gotta talk about this because it's been many years and their first album was really good and I'm back. I'm happy that they're back on doing music and please give these guys a chance. They're so good, they're so good yes, they are, you know they're.
Speaker 1It's a family and friends and cousins and his fans, you know and and I don't know, it's just yeah, they're awesome and that so fit in with the feel of everything else we were talking about. Just it. It's a good summer, light, airy feeling. It just makes you feel good, it does. It reminds you of sunshine and outdoors and just enjoying yourself.
Speaker 2We're having this feeling and it's probably completely something else.
Speaker 1I know right when we're like what is.
Speaker 2Siga about and he's like, well, siga's about a bully. I'm like oh my. God, and I'm over here like this is an empowering song that you can like yeah, and he's like, well, say it's about a bully. I'm like, oh man, but we love it.
Speaker 1We love it because we well, you know, because when you're a bully, you feel empowered.
Speaker 2You know, I mean it all okay, if you want, yeah, if you want to flip it that way, we'll go for that. So I would like to know what is this about? Oh, you know what we're gonna do. I'll do take this clip and just send it over to them.
Speaker 2We'll just put it up and be like maybe that we'll get a reply from one of the guys uh, what is otw about? And uh, just, you know, keep in touch with them because, uh, this is another group that I am following. You know, they relatively new, let's say. I mean, they've been around for quite so many years, but it's hard for a band it's so hard for a band to just get popular, you know, um, but yeah, we're supporting them.
Speaker 2And uh, yeah, see if I can reach out and get an answer on what OTW means. All right, let's end it there, my friend. Yeah, definitely Okay.
