SONG PICK: VEE 303 - Wounded (Video)

“Wounded” is a chilled future pop song with intricate beats that reminds of FKA twigs work. But VEE 303 is actually a German, Berlin-based singer/songwriter and fashion designer and she sets the song to sleek video full of symbolism. She explains about the song: Wounded is about the dynamic

SONG PICK: Ciircus Street - Broken

An instantly captivating melody, beautifully harmonizing vocals, interesting lyrics and an arrangement that draws the listener in. “Broken” is very lovely, despite the more mellow content. It is also the new single by English duo Ciircus Street. Singer and keyboarder Jim Crowder provides the following background to their song: “Broken

SONG PICK: Cat Turner - Easier

We were just in Ireland, unfortunately only for a layover in Dublin. Still it seems fitting to pick the new song by singer/producer Cat Turner from Galway, Ireland. Her song “Waster” has already blown me away last spring (and will make an appearance in my top 15 2018 songs)

SONG PICK: New Luna - Red Music

Have not used the description “jangly guitars” in a long time (at least a month, if not two) but there is no better two-word term to characterize “Red Music”, the new single by Manchester quartet New Luna. But wait! There is more, because these jangly guitars suddenly give way to

SONG PICK: C. SHIROCK - Stand With Me Tonight (Video)

Music and visuals go hand in hand in “Stand With Me Tonight”, the new single and music video by C. SHIROCK. Appealing to the romantic feelings in all of us, the lovely ballad could easily come straight out of an 80s cult classic like Breakfast Club or Pretty in Pink.

SONG PICK: Death Hags - Earthbound (Video)

Fascinating how otherworldly Brooklyn and Queens can look when you let an astronaut walk through the frame in the frame. “Earthbound” is the new video by shapeshifting L.A.-based artist Lola Jean aka Death Hags. Forget all associations you might have with this name: “Earthbound” is a sweeping piece

SONG PICK: ANNAVR - Blue Satin

The last track “So Hi The Sky” Berlin-based musician ANNAVR was a crazy piece of electronic music, but with her new one “Blue Satin” she moves into pure beauty and soundscapes that let your mind wander. Sometimes, it is good to escape and just dream as she explains: Escaping urban

Music

SONG PICK: Ora The Molecule - Sugar

“Sugar”, the new single by indie pop act Ora The Molecule tackles consumerism and the deeply rooted human desire for constantly wanting ‘more’ and yet itself is the best example for this trait by being highly addictive! There is a lot going on in “Sugar”, different vibes and moods yet

Music

SONG PICK: Astrolemo - Time Travel

There is not much to tell about Astrolemo, except that he makes music along the lines of “modernised Massive Attack, drug free Flying Lotus and spicy Bonobo.” Fair enough. Fact is that Astrolemo released a long string of excellent electro pop songs and the latest one, “Time Travel” is no

SONG PICK: Lust - Stayin' Alive

In case you’re wondering whether you read correctly or not, yes, you did because this is a cover of the Bee Gees’ mega hit “Stayin’ Alive”, released in December 1977. If someone dares to take on such a cult classic, they better make it worthwhile and in deed, the

The “Haunted Water” refers to the Atlantic Ocean where one of the biggest crimes against humanity took place between 1500s and 1900s: the forceful deportation of Africans to be sold as slaves in the new world.

The second single by Brooklyn-based artist Unknown Caller charms the listener with its overall laid-back vibe, exquisite guitar work, and a vocal delivery that brings to mind someone like Julian Casablancas… Big name comparisons aside, “See You Again” is a truly fantastic song, irresistible sound and pensive lyrics alike!

SONG PICK: Softer Still - Red Sun

“Nuances” the debut album by U.K. four-piece Softer Still is a classic, elegant pop album, which is best consumed from beginning to the end. The latest single “Red Sun” is something like the catchy, dramatic centerpiece of the record – The Chameleons or even Spandau Ballet comes to mind. Stream

SONG PICK: Post Lovers - Tiger

How much does location matter? Maybe it is inconsequential that Post Lovers hails from Greece or is being based in Athens, yet with their latest single “Tiger”, they put themselves firmly on the map of Greek artists to keep an eye on. “Tiger” is one of those songs, that are
