A big pop sound with a rousing, anthemic chorus.

Halie – New Fears
“New fears is about embracing your fears and just do it. Even if it doesn’t fit into society’s way of doing stuff. It is supposed so show people how I cope with my fears, acknowledge them, but then again just do it if it brings me closer to my goals!”
New Music: Jon Olav
I can safely say that I haven’t heard conceptual pop like this for quite some time… At first this isn’t an easy listen, but the more you dive into the sound the more drawn in you become.
“The lyrics in this song are kind of two sided. I guess it’s a song about how I’ve thrived under the attention I’ve received in previous years whilst releasing music in Norway, but also how I hate and feel kind of strangled by the pressure that comes with it.”
Juno Mamba – Blossom
Taken from debut EP, ‘Light Echoes’ released Friday 20 March 2020.
“The process of creating Light Echoes ended up being a journey of self-discovery. Trying to get an understanding of the world; past, present and future, and how I see myself fitting within it has always been a constant struggle. How can I contribute positively to this world in what I do, and inevitably leave behind?”

Norwegian pop with an essence of bluegrass. This song in particular is competing to represent the country at this year’s Eurovision, and I think it’s got a strong chance.
New Music: Dopha
Halie – Circling
Aimée – Don’t Call Me Pretty
“I think this song can be applied to anyone who has ever been judged on their appearance – and has had all their other abilities, complexities and personality left unconsidered because the focus has been entirely on how they look.”
Trevor Daniel – Falling
New Music: GZ Tian
Track of the week. There’s a sense of bravery with the production on this track from English newcomer GZ Tian. It’s a creative mix of understated RnB and catchy hooks.
Watch: Tia Carys – Figure Me Out
Another strong release from this kid… I’m so excited to see how Tia’s story unfolds in 2020.
New Music: Yes Please
Here’s a fun take on RnB, with elements of pop blended in. It’s hard to dislike this sound.
Charlotte Lawrence – Joke’s On You
New Music: Rapta
New Music: Arno Faraji
Ella Eyre – New Me
“New Me is one of my favourite songs I’ve ever written and I’ve been excited about this one for a while. We’ve all made bad decisions at the end of a relationship and New Me is about embodying a whole new mindset and finding the strength and self-worth to cut off a toxic situation.”
New Music: Savant Bleu
“Going through the motions of love and the lengths to silence all the extra voices to prove to someone I love them & I don’t care what anyone says or feels. I just want you through this f****d up world of a matrix.”
