SONG PREMIERE: Tom Forest - You Have A Father

“You Have A Father” opens with an achingly beautiful guitar melody and skillful finger picking and when the warm and soulful vocals set in, there is no more escape, I’m hooked! British singer-songwriter Tom Forest releases with “You Have A Father” a very personal, quiet and at the same

SONG PICK: L.A. Girlfriend - SFO

L.A. Girlfriend is back! After last year’s excellent album “Neon Grey” (Apple Music | Spotify), she just released the EP “Rex” (Apple Music | Spotify, where she retires (for now?) her guitar and focuses on pure electronics. Single “SFO” is about a brief love affair and how getting over it,

SONG PICK: Missing Words - Alright

There are songs that radiate that special Summer feeling perfectly, the feeling of sun on your skin, a nice drink in your hand, enjoying the still warm air at night and just letting go… For me, “Alright” evokes just such a feeling. Then again, the song’s title is “Alright”

SONG PREMIERE: Chloe Lilac - Reckless

“Reckless”, the new track by Chloe Lilac, elegantly merges the vibe of a late night jazz club performance with modern R&B production. Her vocals remain intimate and restrained throughout the song, creating suspense while keeping her cool. Chloe may be reckless, but she does not lose control. Listen

SONG PICK: Sweet Spirit - The Power

“The Power” comes like the title might suggest with swagger and intensity. It is the new single by Austin eight-piece Sweet Spirit and it is pretty rad. Add Sabrina Ellis‘ (A Giant Dog) glamorously soulful rock vocals to it and the outcome is a highly infectious power anthem! Listen to

SONG PICK: WWWater - WWWater

“WWWater” takes you on a journey: it starts almost acapella, with a lonely kick drum keeping the beat and then finds is way into a grand sing-along chorus. Charlotte Adigéry aka WWWater is fascinated by water, as a fundamental building block of life and as a destructive power. Musically she

SONG PICK: BEij - Bad News

Seattle-based electronic trio BEij –pronounced like the color- released their new single “Bad News” in mid March and it is good. It is incredibly good! “Bad News” sparkles with a ton of groove and a super fun, soulful vibe. The track makes me think of what the love child of

SONG PICK: Starling - Large It

Ahead of the release of her EP “Body” London-based singer/songwriter reveals another track “Large It”. It is loud and unapologetic, driven by distorted beats and melodies. Starling explains: “’Large it’ means everything and nothing. It’s a song about getting wrecked and not giving a shit. But on a

SONG PICK: BOA - Steal It

Bristol-via-Brighton indie rock trio BOA add with “Steal It” another instantly appealing single to their prior stellar and much talked about releases. “Steal It” is simply irresistible from the first beat, thanks to the bubbly, bouncy rhythm and guitar groove. But it is not all happy, happy here, because there

SONG PICK: Odina - Why’d You Make Me Cry

“Why’d You Make Me Cry if you loved me so much,” asks Odina in her new song. Probably the opposite is true as well: she would not feel like this if there was not true love involved. It is a quiet but gripping piece, which she says is very

SONG PICK: The King's Parade - Haze

Fans of The King’s Parade rejoice! The London-based quartet  just released their new single “Haze” and it is as gloriously soulful as the stellar tracks on their 2015 released EP “Vagabond”. The King’s Parade understand how to spice up a catchy indie rock tune with traditional blues and

SONG PICK: Wide Eyed Boy - Wolves

Liverpool is the home base of many great indie rock bands these days, and in the case of Wilde Eyed Boys, they are taking nationality and borders less seriously and bonded over a shared love for David Bowie and Michael Jackson. Oliver Nagy (vocals), Jonny Ball (guitars), Kobi Pham (guitars)

Music

SONG PICK: Tusks - Toronto

Our (slightly delayed) Song Pick of the Day is provided by London singer/producer Tusks aka Emily Underhill. Her new song “Toronto” – named after the Canadian city it was written in – is slow building and epic with a melancholic guitar line guiding to the track. Tusks is working on her

Nashville based quintet Hardcastle releases “Millennial Attraction” after “Paralyzed” and “No Big Deal”, two beautifully crafted indie rock songs.

SONG PICK: The Eskimo Chain - Sun Data

“Sun Data” is a guitar drenched, moody track and contemporary psych-rock at its finest! The song is as fierce as it is melodic and rather catchy too. “Sun Data” is also the first single from The Eskimo Chain‘s upcoming EP. The quartet is based in Kent, England and has

SONG PICK: FEiN - It's Alright

“It’s alright to feel this way” is a line from FEiN‘s new single “It’s Alright” and it is as affirmative as the song itself despite the moodier undertones.  We are huge fans of the L.A.-based synth rock duo FEiN comprised of  Brandon Woodward and Luke

Music

SONG PICK: Biyo - Focus

Biyo is Grayson and Sam from Nashville who do sophisticated electronic pop music. Our Song Pick of the Day, “Focus” is made from bits and pieces that fall together into a catchy and quite anthemic pop song as the track progresses. Biyo is another example of artists who reshape the

SONG PICK: Darlia - Ballad of Black & White

“Come fly with me ‘cos I’m ready” – too tempting to reply something like “took you two years” but that would be rude considering that Darlia, one of the most exciting bands to come out from an already big pool of exciting bands is back, and back with a stunner

SONG PICK: Chelsea Cutler - Your Shirt

Chelsea Cutler wrote, produced and sang her new song “Your Shirt” all by herself, but she electronically conjures the voices of a happier (?) past to help her tell the story. The song feels bright as the morning when she wakes up and realizes that a shirt and some memories is

SONG PICK: JOHN.k - Runnin

From the start, “Runnin” is a simply irresistible track that knows exactly when to go big and when to give room to the absolutely gorgeous vocals because the arrangement enchants with its bold yet also introspect, tender moments. “Runnin” is the debut single by singer-songwriter JOHN.k providing us with
