SONG PICK: åMBe - Of Your Crimes (Video)

“Of Your Crimes” by Brooklyn musician åMBe is not the theme song of the next James Bond movie, but it should be – maybe this would breathe new life into the aging franchise. Maria Brodskaya, the woman behind åMBe, is an accomplished classically trained musician, who today released the EP “Enemy

SONG PICK: Will Joseph Cook - Plastic

“Plastic” is a blissfully bright and infectious indie-pop song but there is more to it! Lurking somewhere underneath the optimistic vibe is some profound suspense and seriousness that lends the track its edge and special allure. “Plastic” is the newest single from London-based Will Joseph Cook who is

Grace Savage is a musician, actor and beatboxer. Beatboxer? I didn’t know that this is still a thing, but you can hear the influence in her new track “Medusa”, an elegant trip-hoppy piece of synth pop. With the song she kicks off her career as a solo musician.
