London-based musician Circe does dark, chills-inducing pop music and looks to correlate fictional literary work with the times we are living in. For her new single “Ten Girls” she found inspiration in a particularly dark and unsettling story.
Psychic Shakes, the solo project of Brighton-based artist Max McLellnm, knows how to mesmerize listeners with the help of hooks that are an enchanting blend of dreamy meets edgy.

“This is what it feels like to be free.” In her latest song “THRIVE” Singer, songwriter and producer Emma Shaw aka emzae encourages you to shake free from the expectations of others and go your own way.

It has been a while since we could treat ourselves to a new song by SAVI MINDS, the solo project of Los Angeles-based songwriter, singer, and producer Mikale D’Andrea. Luckily, D’Andrea was able to use the pandemic enforced slowdown and finished material he has been working on during the months[…]

At glamglare, we have been fans of the music and live performances of British/Icelandic band Dream Wife ever since we saw them live during Iceland Airwaves 2016.

We probably all need a holiday from solving problems, bad news and general stress. In her latest song “Holiday” Mïrändä proposes taking some time off to fix a relationship, but in the end she leaves us doubtful if this is going to work. “Maybe we don’t need to talk at all,” she sings and that rather points to an attempt to simply gloss over real issues. Either way, the gentle guitar and her cheerful singing invites you to close your eyes and dream of a few days of joy far away from everything.
Some things luckily do not change, like analog synths still do sound as futuristic now as they did 50 years ago. They come with the promise of an exciting future ahead and lots of possibilities. A cosmic-tinged song like “Vapour” and its magnetic flute solo manages to envelop the listener[…]
