SONG PICK: Ciircus Street – Broken

An instantly captivating melody, beautifully harmonizing vocals, interesting lyrics and an arrangement that draws the listener in. “Broken” is very lovely, despite the more mellow content. It is also the new single by English duo Ciircus Street. Singer and keyboarder Jim Crowder provides the following background to their song: “Broken is[…]

SONG PICK: Cat Turner – Easier

We were just in Ireland, unfortunately only for a layover in Dublin. Still it seems fitting to pick the new song by singer/producer Cat Turner from Galway, Ireland. Her song “Waster” has already blown me away last spring (and will make an appearance in my top 15 2018 songs) and[…]

SONG PICK: New Luna – Red Music

Have not used the description “jangly guitars” in a long time (at least a month, if not two) but there is no better two-word term to characterize “Red Music”, the new single by Manchester quartet New Luna. But wait! There is more, because these jangly guitars suddenly give way to less[…]

SONG PICK: Adam Melchor – Real Estate

Exquisite finger picking, enchanting vocals and a melody so beautiful it makes your heart ache.

The artist says the following[…]

SONG PICK: ANNAVR – Blue Satin

The last track “So Hi The Sky” Berlin-based musician ANNAVR was a crazy piece of electronic music, but with her new one “Blue Satin” she moves into pure beauty and soundscapes that let your mind wander. Sometimes, it is good to escape and just dream as she explains: Escaping urban[…]
