“Nobody Seems,” the new vibrant single by young singer/songwriter Francesca Luker brims with urgency and buoyant exuberance.

The release of Truly, the debut album of Finish singer and producer Detalji is going to to be especially exciting, because the three singles released so far are laying out different styles highly danceable pop music. While the last two songs focused on raising the energy on the dancefloor, the

Lilac Haze - The Ghost That I Once Knew // Lilac Haze [Video]

Based in Bath, England, singer/songwriter Lilac Haze makes her debut with a double single, both songs equally beautiful and beautifully haunting: the dreamy “The Ghost That I Once Knew” and the mesmerizingly mellow and heartbreakingly sad “Lilac Haze.” Asked about the inspiration behind the two singles, Katrina Swift (Lilac

Uma - Muay Thai

Uma is a now Barcelona-based artist who draws inspiration from her free-spirited family. Her new song, “Muay Thai,” looks back at childhood memories of her parents. Unlike last year’s ethereal folk song “Granada,” her latest track ventures more into the synth-pop territory. “Muay Thai” is the title track on

Aisha Badru - Path of Least Resistance

Aisha Badru - Path of Least Resistance

New York singer/songwriter Aisha Badru weighs attraction against the fear of being hurt again in her new single “Path of Least Resistance.” The track brims with sexual tension and possible romance and made me think of Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg’s “Je t’aime moi non plus,” but

Ayleen Valentine

Ayleen Valentine - epitaph [Video]

“When no one’s there, you can pretend they care,” sings LA-via-Miami singer and producer Ayleen Valentine in her new song epitaph. It is not a good state of mind she is in, but the very fact that she turned it into a tender and energetic pop song radiates hope.

The New Division - Modern Life

The New Division - Modern Life

When was the last time you heard a really good electronic synth-pop piece, one that made you want to start all over again as soon as it ended? A track that is sparkling and bright with a pulsating beat that keeps you going and staying invested. You would want to

Le Couleur - Sentiments Nouveaux

The Montreal trio Le Couleur is back with their first new song since the 2020 album Concorde. “Sentiments Nouveaux” is a bilingual, lush, synth-heavy track that wants to make you move. Or, as the band puts it: “With ‘Sentiments nouveaux,’ we are looking for a sensation, an exaltation, we want

RVG - Squid

Melbourne post-punk quartet RVG of lyricist/frontwoman Romy Vager, guitarist Rueben Bloxham, drummer Marc Nolte, and bassist Isabele Wallace released the beautifully brooding and urgent “Squid” from their forthcoming album Brain Worms, out June 2nd on Fire Records. My favorite line from “Squid” is the mesmerizing mantra-like “Don’t go

Lara Jones - Fig

Lara Jones is a saxophonist by trade, but in the title track for her new EP Fig, she goes all out on high-energy electronics. The track is almost an instrumental, but Lara used recordings of her voice to make a point. She explains: “I wanted to be bolder with this

Body of Light - Never Ever

Nothing But Thieves - Welcome to the DCC [Video]

Nothing But Thieves - Welcome to the DCC [Video]

When I learned that Southend-on-Sea indie-rockers released a new single/video, I didn’t even need to listen to it, but I wanted to feature it already. Long time fan here! We saw the five-piece in December 2015 when they played Brooklyn’s Baby’s Alright, a club that, even

Dance Lessons - Good Enough

The London trio Dance Lessons is up to something. Ann, Nat, and Tom make bright, blissful, and danceable music with an edge, serrated pop, as they call it. Their third single, the elegantly produced, upbeat “Good Enough,” celebrates love without strings attached. Singer Ann also produces Dance Lessons – still a

Laveda - Troy Creeps [Video]

Laveda - Troy Creeps [Video]

When I saw New York indie-rockers Laveda last Wednesday at Arlene’s Grocery playing a show for the New Colossus Festival, they thoroughly impressed me with how far they came from the duo I saw at Much More’s in 2019 and the quartet that they are now. No doubt,

Savannah Conley

Savannah Conley - Don't Make Me Reach [Video]

“Don’t Make Me Reach” perfectly captures the emotions that flow at a particular moment in a relationship. “Makes me want to start some shit just for the hell of it,” sings Nashville singer/songwriter Savannah Conley because nothing else is working anymore. Does she still care? Wait for the

Why Sun - Drift Dance

Why Sun - Drift Dance

Danish three-piece Why Sun deliver with “Drift Dance” synth-pop at its best, evoking New Wave’s greatest, like DAF or New Order or more recent acts like Working Men’s Club. However, Why Sun are not basking in nostalgia but are carving out their very own, very danceable sound. Furthermore,

Nabihah Iqbal - This World Couldn't See Us

The London-based multi-faceted artist Nabihah Iqbal took a deviation for her second album Dreamer, now announced for April 28 via Ninja Tune. A burglary of her studio wiped out every progress she had made, and together with other personal circumstances, she had to rethink her approach to music. Nabihah recalls:

Madeline Goldstein - Other World

Los Angeles-based artist Madeline Goldstein released the slow burning and softly brooding “Other World,” a mesmerizing song that explores our innermost desires and the conflicts in expressing them. “Other World” is also the title track of Madeline’s upcoming 12” EP, produced by Matia Simovich (Riki, SRSQ, Body of Light)

The Famous Daxx

The Famous Daxx - Surrender

The new song “Surrender” by London-via-Munich artist The Famous Daxx is an intriguing art pop piece about a surrealist cult threatening a community. For Daxx, the entire creation process is part of the artistic allure of music, and she seeks out female musicians for her recordings. “Surrender,” is on the

Ayisa - Hallucination

Ayisa - Hallucination

This looks too good. Is this even true? But LA pop singer Ayisa wants you to go for it because great things don’t have to be a “Hallucination.” The disco-tinged track is from her new 6-track EP Pink Diamond, out now. The song was a spontaneous inspiration, as Ayisa

Tina Boonstra - If I Could

Tina Boonstra - If I Could

When we learn to talk about our losses and bereavement, then they don’t become less grave, but the experience becomes less lonely, knowing there are others who went or are still going through a very similar, devastating event. London-based singer/songwriter Tina Boonstra wrote with “If I Could,” an

Eaves Wilder - Are You Diagnosed? [Video]

This song is fun, you might think, but London-based singer/songwriter Eaves Wilder tackles a serious topic from her own perspective. While her new track “Are You Diagnosed?” is a sweet romp at first listen, it is about the broken system that is supposed to treat mental illness in Britain.
