Karolina Rose

SONG PICK: Karolina Rose – White Lies (Video Premiere)

“White Lies” is a song full of symbolism: the cleansing forces of truth wash away pretense and deception. The new song by singer/songwriter Karolina Rose may be my favorite yet with its unpretentious but gripping production with elements of drama and suspense. “White Lies” is the last single of Karolina’s second EP “Rosemary” (Apple Music | Spotify) – her second name – which is out today and contains three more previously released songs, including a clever Shakira cover “Objection”.

SONG PICK: Juanita Stein – Snapshot (Video)

“Snapshot” is a hauntingly beautiful song about keeping the memory of a lost loved one alive through the little things that remain left behind.

Ela Minus

SONG PICK: Ela Minus – megapunk (Video)

Born in Colombia and based in Brooklyn, Ela Minus is a synthesizer maven who does dark, electronic pop music without the help of computers.

SONG PICK: Dream Wife – After The Rain (Video)

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. They just released their excellent second full-length album (listen here) and while most tracks explode with energy, the closing track “After The Rain” strikes a different note. Singer Rakel Mjöll, known for her raucous speak-singing, turns to softer vocals as she candidly refers to a difficult situation from her own life.

SONG PICK: The Cuckoos – So Real, So Surreal (Video)

Austin-based psych-rockers The Cuckoos continue to release singles and videos simultaneously, with their new “So Real, So Surreal”. This latest installment is a beautifully woozy and summer-sensual song. What prompted the band to create a video featuring a blow-up doll? And how did they avoid to make this look all[…]

Ess See

SONG PICK: Ess See – Overdrive (Video)

There is this one moment when continuous romantic disappointment turns into new hope in its brightest colors. No matter on which side of this event you may be, the new song by Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter Sarah Cobb aka Ess See is the perfect anthem to lift you up. She produced this one herself and gave it a subtle, joyful retro-feel to the time when affairs of love were perceived simpler.
