Indiana-born, Chicago-based musician Ben Harper, makes gorgeous indie-electronic folk-pop under the moniker GLDED and just released his new single “Paine”. The track combines vital electronics with tender finger-picked guitars, all held together by Harper’s mellow and utterly beautiful vocals. After the previous single “Waiting Up”, “Paine” is yet another delicious[…]
“I wanna feel the power of holding no-one every again.” Where is L.A. singer/songwriter Jilian Medford aka Ian Sweet going with her latest track “Power?” Not depending on anybody can be an advantage. She says: “’Power’ is a manifestation of strength; something I was looking up and looking towards. I wrote this song to try to get closer to trusting the magnitude of myself as a solitary being.” The song brings her point home with a an alternating pattern of a melancholic guitar line and crunchy riffs. After all, everything has its ups and downs.
Tim Robert (vocals, guitar) and Kent Friedman (synthesizer) first met while working as DJs and producers in New York City dance clubs.

When we heard of Nashville-based singer/songwriter Pauline Andres for the first time in 2016, she did a particular dark brand of Americana. But now, in times when it is difficult to get together to make music, she turned to warm electronics to craft her new track “Til The End of the World.”
Canadian singer/songwriter Elise Boulanger releases the utterly gorgeous “Cigarettes et Rosé” today.

The future is female and faking support for feminist causes will not save patriarchalism.

At home in Manchester, Valetta just released the bold, beautiful and superbly original “Irregular Low”. The magnificent track simmers and swirls, and intensifies, before it dances into a grandiose finale.

Todovía is the project of singer, composer and producer Rhyan Riesgo from Los Angeles. They just released a new album “Orange Feint of Sky” with 11 dreamy, cinematic synth pop songs. “Our intention is to break your heart,” Todovîa states and they may well succeed when you give in and let yourself sink into those sweeping soundscapes.
Following the release of the glorious “Fall, Fall, Fall”, a song about change and all that must change, especially racial and environmental injustices, CAAMP come out with “Officer of Love”. This time, the Ohio-based trio goes for a romantic and a catchy, feel-good vibe. The groovy track is now out via[…]
“The Drive” is about the healing effects of a long drive (or walk for that matter), when the world passes by and one has the time and space to reflect and make important decision. In this case the story went apparently well for Skyler Cocco as she maintains an upbeat, bright vibe throughout the song. The New York-based singer/songwriter creates all music herself and that certainly helps to get the elegant production just right without trendy bells and whistles.
