New Music: Mae Krell

A beautifully subtle and emotive indie pop sound from this 21-year old New Yorker. You can hear and experience the vulnerabilities of a young person growing up through her music, and I think that’s a marvellous gift to have.

“I wrote the song when I first moved back home to NYC after being away for a while to work on myself. For the first time, I really valued my life, and suddenly I was scared of everything around me. There was a fear that formed because I actually cared about myself and my safety; “home” is about coming to terms with that.”

New Music: Pacific

It’s impossible to ignore this single from British indie newcomers Pacific. The band carries a style of rock that’s bold, epic, and unashamedly present; a refreshingly confident sound.

Impressively, they ended last year selling out three shows, and their previous singles have collectively clocked up more 200,000 streams on Spotify to date.

New Music: Jack Hawitt

You may recognise the voice once you press play on this track; that’s because Jack Hawitt was responsible for performing that gorgeous cover of Ariana Grande’s ‘Into You’ which went viral last year.

But the real excitement for this London-based artist, songwriter and producer has only just begun. He started 2020 with a cut on Megan Thee Stallion’s album, followed by the release of his solo single ‘Almost Lost You’ as well as a feature on DJ Licious’ ‘We Don’t Know’. It really feels like Jack Hawitt is a British talent who is destined to some pretty amazing things. On his new release, Jack explains,

“Imagine you’ve just got home after spending time with someone who really lights you up, ‘Higher Love’ is that feeling when you sit there and think about them. It’s next-level love. For me personally it’s a romantic love but I think you can feel this deep connection with a lot of people. Friends, family, lovers. It’s basically a celebration of love.”

New Music: The Hara

I’ve always felt that the best rock is the kind which goes above and beyond; the type that throws subtlety out of the window and celebrates itself for the awesome chaos that it is.

This British trio create a blend of hard rock and pop, which is so extra and manic that it’s near impossible not to enjoy.

“We were inspired to write this song whilst comparing the state of the world right now, including the devastating Australian bush fires, and how everything seems to be a circus. I think this song has everything you would ever want and I’m so proud of how powerful it’s come out, including the crazy operatic ending!”

New Music: Daniel Blake

A beautifully composed song dedicated to the icons who have in some shape managed to influence our lives, but who also left the world too soon.

“‘Heartbreaker’ came together because I wanted to write a song honouring Tom Petty. There is no one cooler and more honest than him. His musical talents and his not going to take crap from anyone attitude has inspired myself and so many other musicians/ songwriters.”

New Music: MΛD FVN

Dark, almost sinister tones underline the essence of this electro-pop song. Playful yet intense, it is an intriguing sound which deserves a listen.

“Music gives me the power to embrace every part of who I am in my darkest times to my best moments, all while connecting with people from across the globe.”
