In a word- stunning. Literally, it’s impossible to explain how much I am in love with this dreamy release from 20-year old Danish talent Ida Laurberg.
Taken from the EP ‘Phase Five‘ which is out now.

Vera Blue – Lie To Me
“When you go through a lot of emotional shit, you can’t imagine yourself in a new relationship. Then you suddenly fall into one, and the fear and mistrust can be overwhelming: ‘Is this as amazing as it seems, or is it going to blow up in my face again?’”
Watch: Conan Gray – Heather
Conan Gray’s sensational rise to fame has come at extraordinary speed; and it really is no wonder when each release is a benchmark in pop quality.
“When I was in high school, i had a crush on the same one person all four years. But that one person did not love me back, instead my crush liked a girl named Heather. Heather was gentle and beautiful, inside and out. She was warm like a summer day, and had so many friends. She was soft and so easily lovable— everything I am not.”

Almost Weekend x November Lights – Don’t Mind
An international effort consisting of Scottish talents November Lights and Dutch producers Almost Weekend come together to create one of the most impressive dance-pop anthems of the year so far.
And if you enjoyed this track then you’ll be pleased to know that it is the first of three collaborations set for release via Dutch label SOAVE records.
“’Don’t Mind’ is a song about doubting yourself or being a little too obsessed with your flaws, but having someone there in your life to help you shake off that feeling and appreciate yourself a little more. Most importantly, whatever it ends up meaning for people, it’s a song that’s there to make you feel good.” – November Lights
HAYES – Who Am I (feat. Aron Blom)
New Music: Sophia Amato
London-based Sicilian talent Sophia Amato creates a luxuriously deep and rich soul sound that is totally spellbinding.

New Music: Mondingo
Belgium is becoming a new hotbed for musical talent that isn’t afraid to take existing genres and create something new and conceptual with.
Mondingo is a case in point; this is a dark, bold and fresh take on indietronica that is mesmerising and captivating.
Carrie Baxter – Love Me Better (Stripped Back)
It’s not easy to sing through this much emotion with a stripped back production, but Carrie Baxter has really spoilt us with this rendition. The original version of ‘Love Me Better’ can be heard here.
Watch out for the forthcoming ‘Stripped Back EP’.
Roosevelt – Echoes
“I often see the recording process as an experiment as to how much of a band sound I can create on my own. It still really excites me to produce something that sounds larger than my little recording studio, so even when I could hire musicians to come in and play parts, to me there’s something magic about doing it all by myself with my sometimes mediocre skills on some of the instruments I record. ‘Echoes’ is a good example, as I wanted to create a really rich and lush production, a ‘disco orchestra’ kind of sound, with lots of layers of sound.”
