The sound itself is a finely balanced blend of acoustic, blues, brass and subtle indie tones. On the other side though, we also experience a mellow, yet experimental and glitchy production on ‘Separation Anxiety (Interlude)’.
Calling Matti Roots a newcomer would be inaccurate – this talent has been on the radar since his acclaimed debut album ‘BeatRoot’ was released back in 2011.
Since then, Matti has been a producer for the likes of Dua Lipa, Kojey Radical, Sampha, and more.
With all that said, this year sees the return of some solo material; and if this sharp piece of neo-soul is anything to go by, 2020 could be very interesting for Matti Roots!

Chilled Norwegian pop, comprising of vocalist and songwriter Mirjam Omdal and producer Magnus ‘Magnify’ Martinsen. If enjoy their sound then you’ll be pleased to know that they plan on releasing two EP’s this year, with the theme for both being mental health.

A fusion of downtempo and electronica from San Francisco, with delicate hints of synth and soul.
“We wrote this song at the end of a hard year, where we were both balancing 9-to-5 jobs with writing, managing, and growing Meet Me in Orbit on our own.”
An interesting blend of indie and rock, with elements of folk and Americana; all of which create an energy that’s raw, genuine and full of character.
“I wasn’t sure what I was doing and I was uncertain of the person who I am and wanted to be. This song deals with themes of dissociation, identity, Impostor syndrome, and existential purpose. I hope that this song will find you in the right place!”
Sweetly mellow indie-pop tones from this Australian 20-year old talent.
“‘easy for u.’ is a song about giving more in a relationship than you are getting back.

I wanted to write a song about reaching that point of clarity.”
A fusion of RnB and dark, electronic essences which make for quite a unique sound.
