Toronto-based singer/songwriter Grae hits the glamglare bull’s-eye with every one of her songs: perfectly executes, catchy, coming from strong, confident personality, who has more on her mind than pleasing the listener or the next love interest. Grae’s new song “Slow Down” is from her upcoming second EP “Bang Bang.”
“In Dreams” possesses plenty of captivating aplomb and irresistible groove, that makes for one fantastic song! “In Dreams” also marks the title track of Howie Payne‘s upcoming EP, due May 15. Fans of melodic British indie rock might know Howie Payne as the frontman of Liverpool alt-rock band The Stands,[…]
Georgia Lowe aka Glowe wants to do it right for everybody and is consequentially “Overwhelmed.” Good that she is a talented singer and songwriter and let it all out with a catchy, elegantly produced pop song that lets you feel her pain without taking it too seriously.
Whisper soft vocals charm their way into our ears, delicate fingerpicking and an overall lush, synths-infused arrangement that renders “Houses”, the new single by English singer/songwriter Nick Byrne magic. “Houses” is inspired by a trip to Liverpool, where Nick came across streets of empty houses falling into ruin, yet there[…]
Now more than usual there are moments when our brain works against us, when negative thoughts are stuck and weigh us down. Jason Young aka Heartour sings about this condition in his new song “Brain,” but he also offers a good cure at the same time: a jolt of energy and joy in form of a grand, arpeggio-heavy synth-pop track, ideal to break out of any mental deadlock.
“Joyride”, the new single by synth-wave band DEEP CITY is beautifully bright and bubbly and full of free-flowing energy. The song is perfect to let your thoughts and feelings run loose, maybe even shake out those stiff limbs, and feel a moment of sheer bliss. The joyful exuberance is highly[…]
“Hung The Moon” is the perfect opener for Grace Joyner‘s new album “Settle In” (out April 24): like the first sunny day of spring it invites you to rest for a moment and let yourself be carried away with those slow burning, reflective songs. There is a nostalgic feel to the music, warm and inviting, even though the songs touch on often difficult parts of Grace’s life.
Clearly, the repetitive bass line is the most noticeable element in “Living in Constant”, the new mesmerizing single by Montreal-based Venus Furs. Yet guitar lovers like myself will be equally enchanted by the stellar guitar work. “Living in Constant” is a dark, brooding, and highly addictive little gem. Lyrically, the[…]
When a band names itself after a song of theirs, it suggests an appealing story: the music was first, all the the commitments that come with forming a band came later. Annie Rew Shaw and Billy Wright met while working on another project and realized that they enjoy working together, hence Dust In the Sunlight was born. And indeed, their voices layer naturally without the female/male dynamic jumping in your face. Add the beautiful dreamy soundscape to it and you can see the dust particles dance on a lazy country-side summer day right before your inner eye.
“All You’re Not”, the new single by alt-pop artist FERGUS, impresses and delights with its unusual structure and riveting harmonies.
