Danish sisters Frida and Sirid Møl Kristensen record under the name Prisma. Their latest song, “I Never Wanted To Meet You,” touches on a common theme in pop music: free yourself from people who hold you back. But they turn their candid breakup speech into an empowering anthem: sing along[…]
Alex and Any of the German synth-pop duo Close to Monday create eclectic electro-pop made entirely with synthesizers.
