New Music: Bruvvy

Assertive, bold and arresting hard-rock from American outfit Bruvvy. This is a sound that is refreshingly assured and unapologetically confident. On the song, vocalist Liz Varum says:

“I came to a boiling point when my boss at the time told me how unlikely it was that I was going to make it in the music industry and that I should always have a backup. Being that it was my millionth time hearing this, I got overwhelmed and decided to write a song dedicated to all the people who have underestimated me in the past.” – Liz Varum, Bruvvy

Taken from the upcoming EP ‘Little Heat’ which is out in August 2021.

New Music: Ellie Gadzos

A charming approach to indie-pop from Canadian talent Ellie Gadzos. With a style of music-making that is distinctively unique while still feeling familiar, this artist possesses a refreshing sense of self-assuredness and confidence that is on full display with debut single ‘Fiji.’

“I think everyone has wanted to run far away and restart at some point. When I wrote this song, I wished I could leave Ottawa behind and start fresh on a faraway island. At the time, rumours kept me apart from the person I had feelings for, and it made me think that if we could disappear and getaway, it would solve all of our problems.”

New Music: Addi

Still only 20-years old, UK talent Addi’s style of music-making brings a stripped-back yet impactful approach to pop.

After growing up in the West Midlands, Addi moved to London for University just before lockdown, which in turn gave this promising artist the time to focus on self-producing gems like ‘Facebook’.

“I wrote ‘Facebook’ in the first Covid-19 lockdown in the UK, it is written about growing up in the social media age and constantly seeing the highlight reels of everyone else’s lives. It can leave us feeling like we are not doing anything, going anywhere, or seeing anyone.”

“Let’s be honest. You don’t need another shopping list of bands we all like nor a bunch of metaphors that make us look cool. High energy loudmouth rock music, that’s basically what it’s about. We’re not vegan, didn’t have a hard childhood and yet fully aware we’re all on the same sinking ship.”

“I’ve always been different. Everyone is their own spirit and their own person. Why not express that through my music and my clothes?

New Music: Agi

A hugely promising talent hailing from the UK, Leeds-based pop artist Agi’s style of music occupies a space between Jeremy Zucker, Lauv and Julia Michaels, yet still feels characteristically unique.

As has been the case with so many great bops lately, new single ‘Lonely’ was written during lockdown while Agi was living alone. Although the song highlights the hardship of isolation, it also offers us a sense of freedom and optimism.

“The thought of being alone for more than two or three days used to scare me and made me really uncomfortable. The bizarre experience of being stuck inside taught me to be okay with being by myself. It made me realise even when I’m feeling lonely, I’m never truly alone. Especially in lockdown, in a weird way, I felt more connected to people by the fact we all felt lonely.”
