Three million streams since their debut, Child of the Parish return with another dose of power pop for us to enjoy.
Child of the Parish – Make It Better
New Music: Nyah Grace
This 18-year old talent from London (via Oregon) creates the most magical and refreshing neo-soul. There’s a delicate balance between the old and new with her sound which makes it so easy to listen to.
Dagny – Somebody
Some of the best Norwegian pop to emerge over the last couple of years has come from Dagny, so it’s always a delight to hear new music from this talent.
The first half of her debut album (Side A) will be released on May 22nd via digital outlets.
Hear Kevin Garrett cover *NSYNC’s ‘It’s Gonna Be Me’
Small admission – *NSYNC were my favourite of the boybands as a kid. And this song in particular is one of their best (in my opinion). Kevin Garrett has now gone and done the most gorgeous, haunting cover and it’s too good not to share.
New Music: Paulina Creola
I get asked constantly why I am so obsessed with Swedish talent, and my answer is always the same; you can always expect the best. Take Paulina Creola’s sound here… It’s a flawless blend of soul, RnB and pop, fused together with an indie beat. It’s just so damn good.
Sammy Porter x Jess Bays – Devotion
A huge release for Sammy Porter and Jess Bays – who’s remix of this Soul II Soul classic took three years to get clearance to sample. The wait was definitely worth it; however summer 2020 shapes up, this should be one song for the soundtrack.
Moyka — Backwards
“This song is about all the things that can drag you back into the hurt when you really want to move on. But I think it’s really good to talk about it, and it’s okay to be sad.”
New Music: HRTLSS
British alternative RnB with a bold sense of darkness and raw intensity. Entirely written, produced, mixed and mastered by HRTLSS and a friend at home.
aboutagirl – SnOoZe
I am becoming more obesessed with aboutagirl from each new single they release. Having already worked with the likes of Lewis Capaldi, Dua Lipa, Rita Ora, Anne-Marie, and Kehlani behind the scenes, I hope they’ll be just as huge.
Nause – Be Right Back (feat. WILHELM)
With over 300 million streams globally, today sees the return of Stockholm producer Nause with a track that blends EDM and pop in a way that only the Swedes seem to be able to perfect so well. Perfect music for the weekend!
“I’m really superproud of this tune, we spent a lot of time on in the studio to perfect it and now I feel like it´s exactly as I wanted it to be.”
New Music: Katlah
An eclectic and experimental Danish electro pop sound with hints of RnB.
“Spell” is about being extremely attracted to another person because of how forbidden the attraction is. I had an Indian snake charmer on my mind when I was working on the theme of the song. Sonically it perfectly illustrated the seductive mood that I had in mind. So, the forbidden attraction is strong on both sides, – I am held captive by my feelings towards this person, but at the same time the person is being seduced by my kattelicious powers.”
The Companions x clide – Late Night
Dutch songwriting/ production duo The Companions return with a feel-good dance track featuring Berlin-based creative, clide today. It’s a melody-driven banger that’s easy to connect with, and perfect for the weekend.
New Music: Seattic
Dark electro pop with a strong melodic essence, tastefully inspired by synth-wave and 80’s vocal stylings.
New Music: Chaz Cardigan
A punchy mix of pop and rock from a talent who grew up being inspired by Prince and Stevie Wonder’s tendencies of producing their own music. At the age of just ten he purchased his first recorder, and continued to evolve his style through the years into the sound that you hear in today’s release.
Watch: AJ Mitchell – Unstoppable
AJ Mitchell’s new video plays with light while contrasting against a dark and gritty pop/ RnB sound. Another release to grow on an already impressive record of over 100 million streams and 8 million monthly listeners on Spotify.
MORGAN – Sanctuary
Watch: Jonah Mutono – The Low
New Music: LoveLeo
Eccentric and playful indie pop with hints of the psychedelic and the 90’s. Talking about the video, LoveLeo explains,
“So I had a whole music video planned for my song ‘LEMONS,’ there was gonna be race cars, explosions, maybe even an elephant, but life decided to give me a lemon…so I made this video entirely in my apartment with my two best friends, a green screen and 127 lemons.”
LOUIS III – Walk You Home
This release not only features those distinct vocals from LOUIS III but is also produced by Sky Adams (from Doja Cat, Sigma and Zak Abel). I am genuinely hyped to see what comes next from this kid – one of the brightest British talents to look out for.
“I wrote Walk You Home About regrets. It’s about that night where you stayed in instead of going out, or the night where you went out, but you should have stayed in. I wanted to write an anthem to the shoulda-woulda-couldas and all the people and nights that got away from you because you walked the other way”.
Adeena x Taphia – I Ain’t Like That
Adeena consistently delights me with her style of polished Scandi dance pop, and this release is no different.
”I Ain’t Like That is a song written from a state beyond our insecurities. It invites you to feel good about yourself and to embrace your own force instead of meeting other people needs. It’s a tune for you to dance into spring and feel yourself completely.’’
