Lauren Mia - Frisson

Dance music can be delightful even outside the club. The flow and repetitiveness generate energy that may give you an extra boost at any time of the day. A “Frisson,” how the LA-based musician Lauren Mia calls it in her new song. Lauren says: "Frisson is that sudden chill,

Danish electro-pop duo PRISMA just released their stunning debut album, Something To Respond To. We’re excited to feature the record’s lead single, “Lost,” a mellow and softly building song with an irresistible hook.

Niamh Regan - Nice

“I’m too nice,” states the Irish singer/songwriter Niamh Regan. Because if she were not, she would finally win. The song sonically captures a dramatic on-the-edge moment when Niamh finally wants in on the perceived success of others. She explains: “Nice is a song inspired by the idea the

Winter - Sallow [Video]

“Sallow” is savored best by letting yourself fall into the world of Samira Winter and follow along the intriguing mix of heavy drums, fuzzy guitars and seductive vocals. Her latest series of singles lead up to an EP …and she’s still listening, out on May 24 on her own

Emilee Moore - Hanging On

I like Emilee Moore‘s tagline, “I write songs to help you feel a little less alone,” and the pop singer/songwriter even put out a billboard in L.A. leading up to Coachella. Way to go to promote her new song! While created out of a breakup, “Hanging On”

Rose Brokenshire - Type Two

Don’t get fooled by this song’s Sunday afternoon beach vibe because it is about skiing – the kind where you hike up a mountain for hours to slide down untouched slopes. The Canadian singer/songwriter Rose Brokenshire does this sport, among other pretty incredible things, and her new song

Tom Jenkins - Blame It

When I came across Tom Jenkins, I was immediately in love with his music and way of storytelling. Turns out, Tom is also quite a prolific singer/songwriter, having released the brilliant full-length album It Comes in the Morning, It Hangs on the Evening Sky in 2022,  followed by two

Victoria Bigelow - The Kids

“Mother by day, songwriter by night,” says the Instagram bio of Nashville singer/songwriter Victoria Bigelow. Her new song “The Kids” is about what can keep a mother awake at night: helping your child to navigate our quickly changing world. She explains: “Kids have it really, really hard right now

Aniwa - show up

London-based pop singer/songwriter Aniwa delights with the sweet and alluring “show up.” The pensive track offers a soothing vibe with enough room to carry Aniwa’s charming, powder-soft vocals. Lyrically, I can well relate to “show up” because this is something that sadly and unavoidably happens, as Aniwa explains:

Songs of Llore - This Time

“This Time,” she cuts short the agony and ends a relationship that does not work. The song is the latest single off the debut EP Late Bloomer by Songs of Llore, the Nashville-based project of Amanda Collins. The four-track record (plus one instrumental) leads through difficult experiences in Amanda’s

The Greeting Committee - How It Goes

Among my top favorite songs of 2024 is “popmoneyhits” by The Greeting Committee. Today, the Kansas City-based band announced their third studio album. With a title like Everyone’s Gone and I Know I’m The Cause, a myriad of thoughts pop up about what might have happened here. Luckily,

Shalli - Freezing

Shalli is from Toronto, her new song is called “Freezing,” and in the video, she dances through snowy landscapes. But the music brings all the heat from Africa and the Caribbean when she confronts a lover for not giving his everything. Shalli says: “I am at a place in my

Sarah Grace White - Sinkhole

“‘Sinkhole’ is a story of falling in love fast with a dead end train,” says LA-based singer/songwriter Sarah Grace White. But she did not simply want to tell the story over a melody but craft a soundscape that reflects the emotional depth of looking at a heartbreak of the

The Eiffels - Beautiful Life

I’m still buzzing with awe, wonder, and excitement, watching the moon eclipsing the sun. For once, the weather cooperated, and there were no clouds, so we New Yorkers could witness the cosmic spectacle in its full glory. Truth be told, the eclipse wasn’t a total one, but hey,

Little Monarch - Sheesh

“Sheesh” is a song like the sun breaking through the clouds, and the world just looks much better. LA artist Casey Kalmenson, aka Little Monarch, developed the song out of one of the little clips she published as “lofi affirmations” to spread positive vibes. Casey says: “It’s just about

Music

Velazquez - Floor Is Lava

Ever heard of nu-disco? I haven’t, until I came across the sound Velazquez makes. It’s a highly appealing mix of 70s disco and contemporary synth pop and his latest song is no exception. “Floor Is Lava” comes with all the right vibes! Velazquez offers the following explanation: “Are

Jenny Newman - Mother’s Porcelain

In the fall of 2022, Jenny Newman delighted us with her lighthearted summer fling “Danish Boy.” Her new song, “Mother’s Porcelain,” shows us the other side of love: when certain traits of a partner make it hard to stay together. Jenny goes for a 90s grunge vibe with the

Music

Matías Roden - Great Escape [Video]

Matías Roden has been honing his songwriting and vocal skills by performing in cover bands and writing for others before focusing on himself. If his second single, “Great Escape,” is anything to go by, there should be more greatness where this came from! “Great Escape” is a bouncy, catchy, and

Jessiqa Jones - it’s milk, DON’T CRY!

“Don’t cry over spilled milk” is a common saying that reminds you to save your tears for the real dramas in life. This has become a mantra for Jessiqa Jones, a singer/songwriter who grew up in Washington state. Her new single, “it’s milk, DON’T CRY!” is

Music

Victory Lap - Jealousy

It’s always particularly exciting to learn about a debut, and a debut single by a British indie-rock band takes the cake, in my book. “Jealousy” is the brand new single by Nottingham newcomers Victory Lap. The track is phenomenal and you should listen to it if you like sophisticated

Music

Kaleah Lee - Birdwatcher

“Birdwatcher” is the title track of the beautiful, self-produced debut EP by Kaleha Lee, out now. The Vancouver singer/songwriter does not need much to make the seven songs of the EP a contemplative, enlightening experience: her voice, acoustic guitar, plus subtle melodic and rhythm elements will make you want

Chasing Kites - Collide

Bristol-based indie-rockers Chasing Kites add another stunning single to their appealing collection, the vibrant “Collide.” In classic indie-rock style, the track starts out slowly, tentatively even, and swells until it cumulates in one cool crescendo. “Collide” has an interesting backstory that can be reflected upon in different ways. Vocalist and

Yodashe - Easter

Four years ago, the Easter holiday fell into the early stages of the pandemic, when the abrupt changes to our lives still inspired creative solutions and, in some ways, maybe even improved our day-to-day activities. But it also became increasingly clear that we are into this for the long run.
