A dreamy slice of Nigerian RnB, produced with finesse and thoughtfulness.

New Music: Zach Oliver
A British talent based out of Toronto who creates a mellow fusion of indie and pop with subtle emotive tones.
New Music: Houston Kendrick
A sound that is pure escapism for me. A tempo that creates tension, matched with ethereal vocals and a melodic structure that cries of melancholy.
New Music: Eric Ryan
This kid has a naturally soulful tone to his vocal which is just about the most beautiful thing you could audibly experience today.

New Music: Love Level
A debut from this Gold Coast duo, who have crafted a beautifully polished blend of chill pop and indie.
“The inspiration for this song came to us on a night out when we spoke to a friend and he told us he was so drunk that he was on his ‘love level’. We took that idea and wrote a song that expresses the euphoric feeling of being intoxicated in a room full of the people you love. We also played on the idea of the song being interpreted from a romantic perspective – the vulnerability and overwhelming emotions that come with any new relationship.”

New Music: Maja Kristina
Another week, and another trademark, flawlessly produced piece of Scandinavian pop.
Sweden-born singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Maja Kristina has already amassed nearly 10 million streams to date with a sound that feels both powerful and emotive while still encapsulating a sense of youth.
“My music is meant to tell a story. It’s almost as if you’re having a conversation with a close friend. Everything I write is like that – no matter if it’s about heartbreak, jealously, love, or anything. I write in the same way I talk. I’m discussing the smallest things in life that you’d only discuss with the people closest to you.”
New Music: Ai Bendr
New Music: The Snuts
The Snuts seem to be one of the more talked-about indie rock bands to come out of the UK of late. Having recently signed with Parlophone, this track went straight in at number 1 on the iTunes chart.
The sound itself is confident, self assured and full of character.

Track of the week. A hauntingly dark yet fragile sound that encompasses RnB with soulful tones.
New Music: Cat Janice
Feelings of nostalgia mix with a mellow yet finessed jazz-pop sound on this release from Cat Janice.
“The moment you look around at your friends in contentment and smile, the moment you catch your lovers eye and everything fades away, the moment the bliss takes over and all is right with the world… that is Luxury.”
New Music: Leo Bhanji

New Music: Dillon Daeson
This is a very quintessential American sound, which is pretty fun to listen to. A blend of RnB with indie-rock elements that compliment a distinctive vocal and playful wordplay.
“The song is about a muse inspiring an artist through seduction.”
New Music: Creature Comfort
A classic, highly charged indie rock sound that concludes in the most fantastic way imaginable.
New Music: Mike Ruby
A perfect music match for the summer weeks ahead, Canadian artist Mike Ruby creates a pop sound that is seemingly innocent and care-free but carries brutally honest lyricism.
“This is that song about your ex that doesn’t deserve you. They never realised how good you were to them, and now that you’re finally over them, they’re calling at 2am … of course.”
Taken from the debut EP, ‘You Wrote These Songs‘ out now.
New Music: Eyelar
A London-based Dutch talent with a melodic dark pop sound that feels both sensual and delicate in equal measures.
New Music: Gregory Dillon
New York based pop talent Gregory Dillon creates a sound of pleasant contradictions. While the beat is full of joy and nostalgic playfulness, there’s still a sense of sadness in the song. Added to that, you also have lyrics that have a deeper meaning than they initially seem.
“‘Plastic Ferrari’ unboxes the (closeted) life of a Ken-Doll, running from a connection that sinks deeper than the plastic mould that defines him.”
