Yodashe - Lite

London-via-Greece singer/producer Yodashe is back with a new single from her yet-unannounced debut album. "LITE" is a warped pop song – "A darker re-take of Björk's 'All is Full of Love' for the 21st century, perhaps?" – about self-acceptance and hope that picks

Linying - Blondie

Everything feels right in this moment – the person and the scenery are perfect. However, Linying feels weighed down because she feels that she is not being honest. We don't know how the story ends, but an element of overthinking may be involved. In any case, the LA-via-Singapore made

Rosa Bordallo - Leavetaking

A song like Rosa Bordallo's "Leavetaking" is the perfect little pick-me-up to not fall into a Monday afternoon hole. Her music has been compared with Cate Le Bon, Melody's Echo Chamber, and Mitski, which made me curious for more. Rosa Bordallo has a new

Spellling - Portrait of My Heart

When you listen to a new Spellling song, you are often in for a surprise. With "Haunted Water" from her 2019 album Mazy Fly still in mind, I was unprepared for "Portrait of My Heart." This new track is an elegant fusion of sophisticated pop sensibilities

C Duncan - Think About It

The sweeping violins, piano, and 70s synths-vibes in "Think About It" create a super lush feel, changing any mood from "meh" to "yeah!" "Think About It," is the new single by C Duncan, and it is glorious. It is also part of

Helen Ganya - Chaiyo!

"Chaiyo!" is the next step in Helen Ganya's quest to preserve the memory of her family's Thai branch. The song builds with shimmering synths before it explodes into a furious finale, like the Muay Thai fight it refers to. Helen says about the track:

Tragic Sasha - Easy Life

Mid-December until about mid-January is a time when artists hibernate, celebrate, or create new music. As a result, there are hardly any new single releases, and it's getting increasingly challenging to feature new, exciting music. That's why I looked at what some of my favorite artists

April Fools - OWS

There is something charming about five friends coming together to make music together collaboratively. The Brooklyn quintet April Fools released its debut EP Knock Knock earlier this December about "the all too familiar tenderness and yearning of a whirlwind romance." The closer "OWS' is an epic

Caroline Romano - Born to Want More

Life rarely goes as expected. In the intimate song "Born to Want More," Caroline Romano shares a moment of uncertainty about her wishes and dreams. She finds no resolution in the song as it builds to an angry bridge and drops again into the doubtful chorus. Caroline says:

The Weather Station - Body Moves

The holidays... we're looking more inwards, and once New Year's Eve rolls around, outward again, with hope and expectations for what's ahead. The more I find Tara Lindeman's experience with writing and recording "Body Moves" fitting for for this special
