SONG PICK: Jeannel - Horses

At glamglare, we have been fans of Berlin-based singer, songwriter, and producer Jeannel for a long time, and we are still bummed that we could not see her playing at our (canceled) SXSW 2020 showcase. Her bold approach to R&B evokes an excitement similar to an early FKA

SONG PICK: The Delines - Little Earl (Video)

It does not often happen that a song makes me cry halfway through, especially not since I had listened to “Little Earl” two times prior without shedding any tears. Maybe because I was on a bus, perhaps because I didn’t entirely focus and didn’t watch the accompanying video,

SONG PICK: la loye - White Summer

In her quote below, Dutch singer/songwriter Lieke Heusinkveld aka la loye reveals that she does not like summer much, for unclear reasons. Her new song “White Summer” details these feelings in a beautiful, shimmering, and slow-building pop song. Maybe she will find her appreciation for the warm season. Maybe

SONG PICK: Chime School - Wait Your Turn (Video)

We dig the heavy dose of 60s nostalgia in Chime School‘s latest single, the lovely and moody “Wait Your Turn.” The track is also part of the upcoming self-titled album Chime School, due November 5th via Slumberland Records. The accompanying music video picks up the vibe of “Wait Your

SONG PICK: Alewya - Play

“Don’t mind if I play.” London-based singer/songwriter Alewya invites you to have some fun in her new track “Play.” The song celebrates the joy of living with love and dance, while the music keeps you on edge with tribal drums and heavy bass lines. After all, all good

SONG PICK: Cuffed Up - Terminal (Video)

Earlier this year, we came across Los Angeles-based indie-rock quartet Cuffed Up and featured them in our Videos of the Week series. Now they landed on our radar again with “Terminal,” another fantastic song albeit far more gripping video. It’s not something I enjoy watching, but that might be

SONG PICK: Notelle - Turnover Rate

Stephanie Middleton aka Notelle is a Nashville-based singer/songwriter who we love here at glamglare. Her gritty brand of pop music does not shy away to peek into the darker sides of life. Notelle’s latest song, “Turnover Rate,” adds some Garbage-vibes with a fuzzy guitar while it is putting

Music

SONG PICK: VLURE - Heartbeat

On the heels of announcing their upcoming debut EP Euphoria, Glasgow indie-rockers VLURE release the hard-hitting and utterly fascinating “Heartbeat.” Their sound shows a diverse range of influences: from German krautrock over post-punk to electronic dance music with hypnotizing hooks. Ultimately though, this emerging five-piece is about to create their

Music

SONG PICK: Carly Shea - Hold On To Me

NYC pop musician Carly Shea is back with “Hold On To Me,” an infectious, dance-the-night away pop track. For now, it is the last one of this kind, Carly says, before she moves on to more soulful music. Here at glamglare, we cannot wait to hear what she is up

Music

SONG PICK: Astral Swans - Spiral

Canadian singer/songwriter Matthew Swann, artistically known under the moniker Astral Swans, just released a beautiful, new self-titled album of which we feature the moody “Spiral.” For that single, Swann enlisted the lovely vocals of Julie Doiron, who lends the moody track an airy and optimistic vibe. Asked about “Spiral,

Music

SONG PICK: ELDR - Spinning Tops

U.K. composer Marina Elderton has racked up many credits for film scores. In 2018 she released “Defender,” her haunting debut single, back then under the name UV. Now she is back as ELDR with a brand new slow-burning atmospheric track “Spinning Tops” that deals with a personal experience. Marina

Music

SONG PICK: Namesake - Hole In The Wall (Video)

We know New York post-punk rockers Namesake for a good while but back then it was under their former name Honduras. The name change was initiated when co-founding member Tyson Moore left the band during the 2020 pandemic but instead of calling it quits, the remaining members created their second

Music

SONG PICK: Cate Le Bon - Running Away

Heavy bass lines dominate the sound of “Running Away,” the new single by Welsh singer/songwriter Cate Le Bon. On her upcoming album “Pompeii” she used bass guitar and synth as composition tools and played and recorded most instruments herself in isolation. Stella Mozgawa of Warpaint contributed drums from her

Music

SONG PICK: Trentemøller - All Too Soon

Danish composer, musician, and producer Trentemøller releases the mesmerizing “All Too Soon.” For his newest single, he once again features the compelling vocals of longtime collaborator Lisbet Fritze, whom we could last enjoy on the dreamy “In The Gloaming.” In “All Too Soon,” Trentemøller explores the push and pull of

Music

SONG PICK: Danielle Lewis - Slow, Sad, and Real (Video)

“Slow, Sad, and Real” is a sweeping reflection about dreams, reality, and the overlap between the two. Welsh musician Danielle Lewis enlisted videographer Mark James for adding some stunning visuals that shun overused effects and tired cliches about how dreams look like. She says about the song: “Slow, Sad and

Music

SONG PICK: Stats - Wet Black Trees

Too bad to discover a really cool band only to learn that they’ll call it quits by next month. Granted, they go out in style, releasing a farewell album and celebrating with one last live show. However, their music will live on and so we enjoy “Wet Black Trees,

Music

SONG PICK: Sparrows - I Know Fire

Fire – a metaphor for excitement – can be too much and dangerous or too little and dull. In her upbeat pop-anthem “I Know Fire,” Sydney-based musician Jessica Nitties aka Sparrows, assures you that you can make it work for you either way. She says: “[I Know Fire] has taught me so

Music

SONG PICK: Tears For Fears - The Tipping Point (Video)

While on a little birthday vacay in Upstate New York, I learned that my all-time favorite band Tears For Fears have a new single out. Of course, I immediately stopped the album we were listening to (Perverse by Jesus Jones), and put on “The Tipping Point,” playing it for a

Music

SONG PICK: Reya - Heat

Hot emotions are difficult to control. “Heat,” the new song by Melbourne-based artist Rebecca Matthews aka Reya brings this point over with an intriguing left-field R&B production that meanders around an unconventional snare-driven beat. She explains about the song: “Heat is an exploration into lust and intimacy and

Music

SONG PICK: Le Junk - Sticky Side

“Satisfaction tastes so wrong” sings Le Junk in his new single “Sticky Side.” The British songwriter, singer and producer developed his passion for music by playing around with a bass and drum machine before refining his style. The juxtaposition of different styles in “Sticky Side” is exciting and the melodic

Music

SONG PICK: in earnest - The Days in Between

“Reasons to Stay Alive” is the title of the new EP by U.K. trio in earnest. And while the main songwriters Sarah Holburn and Tom Eatherton have their own stories to tell, the reflections on this gap-less six-track record deeply resonate in a broader sense. Our Song Pick of

SONG PICK: Bunny X - Young & In Love

Earlier this week, New York-based Synthwave/Italo disco duo Bunny X  released their highly awaited debut album Young & In Love via Aztec Records. We dig all the tracks on the nostalgia-tinged and oh-so-dance-ready album and decided to feature the album’s title track, because -who doesn’t remember the

Music

SONG PICK: talker - Sad Chick (Video)

Sometimes things just don’t work out for you. The state of mind that L.A. indie rocker Celeste Tauchar aka talker describes in her new song “Sad Chick” is familiar probably to many of us. But instead of letting it go, she packs some serious punch into her music,

Music

SONG PICK: ZOO - What's There To Lose

Find Cincinnati-based songwriter Cory Pavlinac as “A Band Called Zoo” or “A Man Called Zoo” on his socials and simply as ZOO on most DSPs. But you would want to find him because the songs he creates are melodic, with an experimental edge and enchant thanks to their relatable little

Music

SONG PICK: Em Glasser - All I Want

Em Glasser moved from Miami Beach to Berlin, Germany, and it is hard to think of two cities more different. On the other hand, that can be a fertile ground for an engaging musical melange. That is what Em does with her new song “All I Want,” when she expresses
