Necklace – Chase
New Music: Bickle
Hemi Moore – 365 (Acoustic)
Those who follow this blog will know that I very rarely post acoustic songs up, but this one’s a real stunner. A sincerely heartfelt and beautiful piece from a British talent that I really hope to see a lot more of.
“I was going through a lot at this particular time. I couldn’t see myself when I looked in the mirror. I remember binge-watching Only Fools and Horses, and a scene came on where Rodney had given up the ghost, and he asks Del Boy- ‘after all this hustling when are we going to catch our break?’. Next thing I know I am sitting on a piano singing the first verse, and within the first 25 minutes I’d written half the song.”
New Music: Michael Baker
Subtle yet powerful, here’s a thoughtful song about losing a friend to mental health.
“It shocked me how much we wear masks every day & how hard it is to see what is bubbling away underneath.”
HARLOE – Rivers Run Dry (EP)
Emilie Nicolas – Who’s Gonna Love You
Josh Fudge – Garden of Eden
“Garden of Eden is a song about the honeymoon stage of a love affair. It represents the want for an idolisation of intimacy, and the toxic habits of a person trying to achieve perfection too fast.”
Tems – Try Me
New Music: Magnus Tempels
There really has been no other song this week which has exuded as much intensity, beauty and drama as this release from Danish newcomer Magnus Tempels.
“Let Go is a homage to the synergy two people can create together and with each other. Let Go is also an acknowledgement of the darkness consuming both people in defining this twosome.”
Chloe Lilac – Obvious
Ceara Cavalieri – Candy
“This song is about liking someone that you know you shouldn’t like because they are bad for you but you still want them anyways. It is the same as wanting candy, even though we know it isn’t good for us we crave it and eat it anyways because we like it so much.”
New Music: Two Years Vacation
SACHI – Enchanté (feat. Naïka)
“When we were writing the song it came out super fun and sassy, like going out to the club and not taking shit from anyone. We spent time in Paris a few years back and that’s just totally the experience we had of Parisian nightlife.”
Will (SACHI)
Odreii x DJ Kleancut – Go Solo
“I’ve been in relationships where the other person would lie straight to my face to get what they want from me. Once that trust is broken I’m gone! I leave with a smile, re-adjust the crown on my head and run myself a nice warm bath, Cleopatra style, reminding every cell in body they deserve nothing else but the best. That’s how I want everyone to feel like when they listen to ‘Go Solo’. I want them to wear it!”
Odreii
New Music: Laveda
“I think most young people really do want to be loved properly. This fashionable idea that love shouldn’t be fragile or imperfect and how it’s seen as a weakness by many is extremely damaging and makes life that much more difficult to manoeuvre through.”
Ali
Elliot – Drown
“Most of my songs come from a sort of dystopian place inside of my head and often written to escape that exact place and give comfort. ‘Drown’ wasn’t written to comfort myself but a dear friend of mine who was going through really hard times of sorrow.”
New Music: Amalie Bryde
A genre-bending fusion of soul, pop and jazzy tones. Just the most refreshing sound to enjoy today.
“The song is about the discomfort of being in love with someone who broke things off but still wants you in their life.”
Ruben Dawnson – SAYIMGOOD
“This song, like the whole EP, is very introspective. it revolves around the feeling of not being in a healthy state. it switches back and forth between singing to myself in third person, and from myself in first person – which symbolises a certain duality and disorientation. self love and self criticism.”
The debut EP ‘Echo Emotions’ is set to drop on May 8th.
Will Callan – Forgiving & Forgetting
“It’s about that moment of realisation that it’s time to put the past behind you and move on because life is so much better when you surround yourself with positive people who accept you for who you are.”
