New Music: Posie

American storyteller and instrumentalist Posie uniquely fuses elements of classic folk and rock with the stylings of modern pop, creating sounds that feel timeless in essence.

Loosely drawn from Shakespeare’s King Lear but given a modern imagining, new single ‘Cordelia’ features dreamy vocals and a fairytale like production.

Cordelia was the name of one of the daughters in the play; a story written in a time when women had less – or no – control over their lives. Now Cordelia has control over her home, the men she sees, and her money; but at the end of each night she chooses to be alone to safeguard her power and freedom.

New Music: Thomas LaVine

Florida-born artist Thomas LaVine crafts a dreamy fusion of folk and indie that somehow allows your mind escape to a whole other world.

This is music that is thoughtfully constructed and minimal in tone, yet rich in emotion and intensity.

“At their core, the songs are usually about whatever you think are. All that matters is what they become to you in the moment. It may have been different for me and it may be different for the next person, but it only really matter what you feel personally.

New Music: sedgwick

Hailing from Edmonton in Canada, sedgwick is a multi-faceted artist who is not only a performer but also a songwriter and producer.

New single ‘paradox’ is an electro-pop bop that was entirely constructed by sedgwick, written for anyone who’s ever been told that they were ‘too much’ but still felt like they aren’t enough.

“It’s about the experience of growing up gay, and feeling the simultaneous pressure to make oneself small, quiet and inoffensive; that to be oneself is to be ‘too much’ – but also being told you’re not enough. That you’re wrong, you’re too weak, and you need to ‘man up’.”

New Music: Lucky Number You

Today marks the debut single from emerging UK indie-pop outfit Lucky Number You. With a thoughtful and melodic approach to music-making, this Birmingham-based three-piece band could well be ones to watch over the coming year.

While ‘Disassociator’ is the group’s introduction to the world, the song carries a sense of nostalgia in tone, harking back to the indie pop-rock of the mid ’80s – coupling the melodic guitar sensibilities of The Cure with relentless new-wave drums; all punctuated with sparse piano.

“The song is told from the perspective of a person losing faith in mentors, systems, and themself. The narrator tries to come to terms with their distrust of authority figures while trying not to fall down the rabbit hole of conspiracy theory and misinformation. Ultimately, we all need a little faith and a little inspiration.”

New Music: Thyra Hilden

Danish visual artist Thyra Hilden is no stranger to the art world – with works already featured by media heavyweights like the BBC, CNN and Reuters.

During the pandemic of last year, Thyra also realised a passion for music-making, and so today sees the launch of new single ‘Touch’.

Proving herself as a gifted multi-faceted creative, the track has already been picked up by Danish Radio’s talent competition KarriereKannonen.

With its energetic, raw and youthful take on alt-pop, ‘Touch’ feels current and relevant while still maintaining a strong sense of individualism. On the song, Thyra says:

“Love and loneliness are basically chemical processes in the brain and body, and this knowledge creates a slightly absurd twist to joy, longing and devotion.”

New Music: Maddy Brown

Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Maddy Brown releases her introspective R&B debut single ‘Wiser’ today, marking herself as one American newcomer to keep an eye out for this year.

The song serves as an autobiographical piece, centred around Maddy’s personal experience of coming to terms with the truth that her long-term relationship was not the right fit for her.

“I hope people can take ‘Wiser’ as their own source of empowerment. Voice how you feel, recognise your worth, and be empowered to have high expectations for those who end up having the privilege to be in your life.”

New Music: Ozbear

It might still be the first day of the new year, but Canadian artist Ozbear has probably created one of the most fun indie bops you’ll likely enjoy this month.

“I wrote this song after a breakup… shocking I know. Sometimes things don’t work out the way you expect and this song kinda pokes fun at breakups and the fact that they don’t always have to be so devastating. Sometimes they can be the kick in the butt you need to move on and start living your best life.”
