Canadian newcomer Nano Talrose fuses indie-pop with a distinctively soulful vocal to deliver a sound that feels beautifully emotive and sincere.
‘Talk You Down’ was inspired by how to treat a significant other when they have anxiety; to be willing to show how much you love and support them without getting defensive or upset.
As a producer, songwriter, singer, actor and DJ, Berlin-based Liam Mockridge is no short supply of talent. Currently running his own music studio in the heart of Germany’s capital city he works alongside a variety of artists from all music genres.
And listening to ‘Familiar‘ shows just how eclectic Mockridge’s sound gets. It’s a beautifully balanced fusion of the vintage and modern; giving you a sound that feels fresh yet timeless.
Hailing from Canada, 20-year-old songwriter Madisyn Gifford releases a slice of self-empowered dark-pop that feels playful yet punchy in equal measures.
“The song is all about female empowerment and a girl coming into her own when she realises that she’s not getting treated the way she deserves in a relationship. It’s basically a picture of a girl at a party ranting about how her and her partner’s values don’t line up at all anymore, so she makes the decision to leave the party as well as the relationship without him.”
Texas-based singer and songwriter Lady Dan crafts a style of indie that is so richly dark and cinematic in it’s essence that it immediately draws you in to her world.
“‘I Am The Prophet’ was born of the resentment that comes with the modern dating era: a month getting to know someone, letting them know you, and the other party backing out once things are meant to progress. So you stay on this constant loop, like a rodent running on a wheel, doomed to repeat the cycle until you’re so tired you just give up completely. Then, throw some sacrilege in for a little flavour.”
Blending indie with emo hip-hop in the best way possible, Landon Cube is back today with a new release featuring the talents of SypSki and lil rxspy.
Alt-pop duo Sleeper Service are proving themselves to be one of the most promising new talents to emerge from the UK with the release of stunning new single ‘saturate‘.
This is a song exuding in raw emotion and melancholic lyricism, leaving you captivated and wanting so much more.
It’s been a hot minute since I’ve experienced a banger that hits as hard as this new release from Swedish dance-pop heavyweights Pawl and Discrete.
On their own, they’ve each had incredible surges in popularity recently; Discrete’s own catalogue has earned him over 65 million plays across platforms, while Pawl has also had an equally impressive 40 million streams.
With bright upstart Ebenezer featured on ‘5AM‘, I really doubt you’ll find a song that gets your blood pumping as hard as this will.
Taken from Pawl and Discrete’s forthcoming joint-EP, which is scheduled to be released later in 2021.
Hailing from New Zealand, Taylor Roche is an exciting talent who’s approach to music-making sees him subtly blending inspirations from 80’s pop ballads and hip-hop into a sound that feels emotive and warm-hearted.
And you can hear just that when you press play on ‘why can’t we?’. This is a song that captures the beauty and complexity of love in a way that few can articulate to do so nicely.
Tash’s distinctive vocals wrap around a sublime melody in a way that makes this one of the most mesmerising musical moments you are likely to experience all week.
Copenhagen-based singer and pianist Kleo creates a style of music which is so deeply emotive and rich in character that it immediately captivates you. Quite astonishing considering the fact that she’s still unsigned, and this is her first release.
Kleo’s inspirations range from hyper-romantic love stories and an upbringing to the sound of her grandfather’s piano; through to 90’s grunge and Vedic astrology.
‘Broken Halleluiah’ is a song written as a kind of requiem for lost love, and the video is a tribute to Baz Luhrmann’s cult classic ‘Romeo & Juliet’ from 1996.
“‘Broken Hallelujah’ is a love scene and a tragedy happening in slow motion. A sort of requiem to a love that was lost to begin with. It’s the feeling of bliss and sadness being intertwined, that can be so elevating and heavenly – an emotion so intense, you can’t help but stand in awe of the universe and how we are created. While singing ‘Broken Hallelujah’, I experience these feelings so purely.”
Tamil–Swiss artist Priya Ragu has taken the pop world by storm over the last twelve months.
Now she’s back with a superb piece of melodic of dance-pop that fuses RnB and Tamil-inspired beat work together into something quite magical.
A refreshingly bold fusion of pop and indie-rock, with honest lyricism from new Swedish talent Boy Destroy.
“There is a certain type of person I’ve met many times during my dark periods. Sometimes by just looking into the mirror. Someone who counts the seven mortal sins on the tips of their fingers and feels no remorse causing pain. This is for them.”
Finnish pop sensation Isac Elliot returns with two pop bangers that are guaranteed to bring a smile to your face.
LA-based talent Devin Kennedy teams up with Caroline Kole to create a powerful slice of melancholy pop.
With over 170 million streams, Ruben seems to be that one Norwegian artist that the rest of the world still has yet to catch up with.
Could this be the song to change things? I certainly hope so; every release from this talent has been pure Scandi-pop perfection.
