SONG PREMIERE: Beverly Girl - Change Begins With You

Listening to Beverly Girl, a place like Helsinki, Finland does not easily come to mind more likely hot club scene spots like Ibiza, Cancun or maybe Los Angeles, where the trio will perform tomorrow. Undoubtedly in their repertoire, their brand new single “Change Begins With You”, which we are excited

Music

SONG PICK: Erika Davidson - Memory Lane

Sometimes, all it takes is one little line to let an entire story unfold: when Erika Davidson smoothly intones “I don’t want your name, but I need this dance”, heartbreak sets in immediately. “Memory Lane” is a bittersweet song, one that dances on the beautiful moments that have been,

SONG PICK: UV - Defender

UV is the stage name of Marina Elderton’s musical project. Her day job is not far way from that: she’s an acclaimed composer based in London and has created award-winning film scores. Marina’s debut track as UV, “Defender” is a haunting, solitary piece, held together by a

Music

SONG PICK: 32Stitches - Fallout

Reminders to treasure the time we have with each other, and on earth in general, come in many different forms yet “Fallout” is an especially alluring example with its irresistible dance beats and future bass vibe. This is pop music at its best! “Fallout” is the new single by Mumbai-based

Music

SONG PICK: Paige Bea - Your Echo

London-based singer/songwriter Paige Bea has some advice for those stuck in an unsatisfying relationship: if your partner does not appreciate you anymore, get out! It happened to Paige herself and she partially blames our hyperconnected world for it: You’re connected to so many people you forget the ones

Music

SONG PICK: Breathe Panel - Sunrise/Sunshine

Relentlessly pushing beats, seemingly dissonant guitar chords and almost sweet vocals over it, this is “Sunrise/Sunshine” the new single by Brighton-based quartet Breathe Panel. It is reminiscent of the works of some of the finest post-punk acts places such as Chicago or Philadelphia have to offer and Breathe Panel

Music

SONG PICK: Voiid - Not For You

Angry, noisy punk often feels dated in a world where everybody has access to so many more musical tools than just shredding guitars. But when done well, a punk song can carry you away with high energy levels and make you feel empowered. “Not For You” by the Australian quartet

Music

SONG PICK: Charlie Hole - The Ballad of Anne Beverly

“The Ballad of Anne Beverly” is an incredibly awesome piece of melodic and lyrical story telling, something very deep and moving. Equipped with soulful and occasionally raspy vocals, as well as profound guitar chops, British singer/songwriter Charlie Hole cranks out this story of Sid Vicious’ mother and makes it

Music

Singer, producer and multi-instrumentalist Simon XO, originally from San Diego, now Los Angeles-based, creates his own version of electro-pop by combining explorative synths, tape loops, electric guitars, sampled drums and at times aggressive vocals.

Music

Free Love is the new name of the duo of Suzanne Rodden and Lewis Cook, who make disco-inspired music in Glasgow, Scotland. Their latest song “Synchronicity” is a dance song that makes you want to drop the shackles of day-to-day life and swirl through the night. Listen to “Synchronicity” on

Music

SONG PICK: Annabel Allum - Em(ily)

Here’s to the best friends who help us through difficult times. In case of U.K. singer/songwriter Annabel Allum this is Emily, who tells her “to keep it real”. As a thank you, Annabel named a song after her on the new EP “Sorry I’m Not Perceptible”

Music

SONG PICK: Charles Cleyn - Decisions

There is absolutely no reason why “Decisions”, the debut single by Charles Cleyn, couldn’t become one of this Summer’s big hits. The alluring pop track pulls all the right strings like lovely melody, pleasing guitar strumming, impressive harmonies, versatile vocals and a killer hook. All this makes “Decisions”

Music

SONG PICK: 88 Palms - Hollywood Son (EP release)

A sunset ride in a convertible along a palm tree-lined beach, that comes easily to mind when listening to the music of 88 Palms, the NYC-based duo of Morgan Wiley and Ria Bouttier. “Hollywood Son” is one of five super-chill tracks with a tropical, funky disco vibe on their debut

Music

SONG PICK: YUN SEN - One Day

If London-based duo YUN SEN continues to release tracks like “One Day”, they will not be able to keep their band persona somewhat mysterious, referring to themselves as “J-hama, song rider & Wako, cooking beats” without any other info. Their brand new single “One Day” draws the listener in from

Music

SONG PICK: Ryvoli - Roots

Jenn Whiteman and Samantha Howard met far from their homes in Paris, started making music together and named their band Ryvoli after the Rue de Rivoli, the street that lines the Louvre and Jardin de la Tuileries. “Roots”, their second single starts as an intimate folk song with vocal harmonies,

Music

SONG PICK: Lhasa Petik - Fading

You might be inclined to lean back, close your eyes and dream of a sunset at the beach when “Fading” starts, but not for long: Canadian singer/songwriter Lhasa Petik has many more tricks in her bag. While the acoustic guitar holds the track together and gives it an intimate

Music

SONG PREMIERE: The Rungs - Trees

It’s exciting to see a band developing their own characteristic sound and continue to advancing it further. “Trees”, the new single by Brooklyn-based alt-pop trio The Rungs, might just be their best piece yet to date. The track offers everything we came to love from The Rungs: their exquisite

Music

SONG PICK: Fufanu - Hourglass

For long time fans of Iceland’s hottest trio, the seemingly new musical direction of their brand new single might not even come as such a big surprise. While “Hourglass” is in deed a bit of a detour from what we have heard on Fufanu’s fantastic album “Sports”, it

Music

SONG PICK: Anna Aaron - Why Not?

Anna Aaron, musician from Basel, Switzerland, is having it: “Why not suck at the most basic human decency?” In her 3:10 minutes rant, she bitterly complains about somebody’s inability to so things the right way. A mean baseline, booming drums, lots of cowbells and her deadpan vocals help

Music

SONG PICK: Phil Simmonds - Drive

And along comes “Drive”, a track so instantly appealing that there’s no escape but to keep on listening to all its 4 minutes and 23 seconds, bathing in intelligent rhythm changes and hauntingly beautiful vocals. “Drive” is the new single by Phil Simmonds who exchanged his home in England

Music

SONG PICK: Basement Revolver - Baby (Album announcement)

A happy relationship is not everything. In fact, if your partner is not the primary source for your emotional trouble, other things can bring up restlessness and discontent. “Baby”, the new track by Canadian three-piece Basement Revolver, is about that and the challenge to not let your partner down in

Music

SONG PICK: Pet Fangs - Bitch, Baby.

A title like “Bitch, Baby.” sets the stakes high, and so I had great expectations upon hitting the play-button. The first lines that singer Joe Stark delivers are “Girl, I want you more than money”, and I was sold. A song with that much swagger can only be crazy good

Music

SONG PREMIERE: La Moreno - Cheetos & Champagne (Video)

A couple of months ago we were accidentally treated to an early edit of “Cheetos and Champagne” at Chris Butler’s studio in Bushwick, and I was like, holy cow, this is good! Today, we are delighted to premiere this track by New York singer/songwriter Ana Moreno aka La

Music

SONG PICK: Pavan - My Optical Best

A few sounds express ‘spring’ and ‘nature’ better than the chirping of birds and one must be quite the curmudgeon to not feel an instant mood boost by this kind of noise. Add a heartbeat inspired rhythm and exquisitely bright vocals to it, introduce other kinds of sound to it

Music

SONG PICK: NUEX - Eyes

Camille and Teddy, two artists from DC, came together through their shared love for music and – naturally – ended up forming a band, NUEX. „Eyes“ is their second single off their upcoming EP „Affectus“, an elevating electro pop piece with decisively dark undertones. „I got eyes on you… nothing you can
