Natalie Bouloudis

SONG PICK: Natalie Bouloudis - Coal

Coal and diamonds are both just carbon, albeit in very different states. This is the metaphor that London-based singer/songwriter Natalie Bouloudis applies to a relationship that went from glitter to black dust. Her signature cinematic folk noir immediately captures and takes you into its own world – perfect for this

SONG PICK: Bad Love - Cashmere Tears

SONG PICK: Bad Love - Cashmere Tears

Manchester indie-pop band Bad Love appeared on my radar before but it took “Cashmere Tears” to eventually listen closely and fall head-over-heels for the glistening track. Reminiscent of dream-pop acts like LANY and of course electro-pop pioneers like Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, or Ultravox, Bad Love create songs that are

SONG PICK: Lydia Luce - Maybe In Time [Video]

December is a good time for reflection – maybe sitting down in the afternoon, watching the darkness outside slowly settling in, and musing about the past and the future. For such a state of mind, Nashville-based singer/songwriter Lydia Luce has a wonderful soundtrack for you with her new album “Dark

SONG PICK: Dead Rituals - Broken Memories

SONG PICK: Dead Rituals - Broken Memories

While we are heading into the last month of the year, we tend to reflect on what has happened over the past eleven months. Despite all the bad and truly horrifying, that has been going on in 2020, one common notion has come up in media of all sorts: the

SONG PICK: Von Sell - Want

SONG PICK: Von Sell - Want

Brooklyn singer/songwriter Von Sell has created his own unique style of pop music: quirky and catchy, without adhering much to the hip production techniques of the moment. Now he is back with a stellar new song “Want,” which may well end up on your list of the favorite songs

SONG PICK: Jessi Mac - Bedroom Years

SONG PICK: Jessi Mac - Bedroom Years

With the utterly gorgeous “Bedroom Years,” London trio Jessi Mac released a second single to announce their debut EP “Border Lines,” out on February 4th, 2020. The track’s flow is as irresistibly beautiful as it is soothing and mesmerizing, with Jessi Mcdonald’s warm vocals taking center stage. When

SONG PICK: Artemis Orion - You Are Your Own Home

L.A.-based singer, songwriter and producer Artemis Orion has a mantra for you in case bad news, hopelessness or simply the darkness of winter seem to overwhelm you. “You Are Your Own Home” she sings and lets the synths shimmer like rays of sunshine breaking through the clouds after

SONG PICK: Piqued Jacks - Golden Mine

SONG PICK: Piqued Jacks - Golden Mine

When a song starts with its chorus, our ears perk up and our interest is peaked. As it is the case with “Golden Mine”, the new single by Italian indie rock-quartet Piqued Jacks. “Golden Mine” marks the second single of Picked Jacks’ upcoming album “Synchronizer”, produced by Brett Shaw (Foals)

SONG PICK: Alaska Reid - Big Bunny (Video)

Alaska Reid is a singer, songwriter and guitarist originally from Montana and now residing in Los Angeles. After playing in the band Alyeska she is now recording music under her own name. Her latest release is “Big Bunny,” an infectious track with a fuzzy guitar over electronic beats, which reflects

SONG PICK: Hilang Child - King Quail [Video]

SONG PICK: Hilang Child - King Quail [Video]

“King Quail” is every bit as mesmerizing as you would expect from a song with royalty in the title. It is the super gorgeous new single by Brighton-based singer, musician, and songwriter Hilang Child, ahead of his upcoming album “Every Mover.” Leading up to his album, the Welsh-Indonesian artist nee

Sólveig Matthildur

SONG PICK: Sólveig Matthildur - Venus (Video)

Sólveig Mathildur is a musician from Iceland, maybe best known as keyboardist and singer in the spooky dark wave trio Kaelan Mikla. Solo she shows a gentler side with beautiful Nordic synth pop, bright but with a good dose of melancholy. Her latest song “Venus” is a moving ballad about

SONG PICK: Dawson Gamble - What You Don't Know

SONG PICK: Dawson Gamble - What You Don't Know

Toronto-based singer/songwriter Dawson Gamble just released “What You Don’t Know”, his most personal and maybe also ambitious single to date. The track swirls and builds, with an infectious catchiness, and I get quite the Panic! At The Disco vibe, aka the appeal of Brendon Uri’s vocals. Dawson

SONG PICK: Kat Duma - System

Our collective 2020 experience surly will long resonate in the arts. “System,” the new song by Toronto-based singer and producer Kat Duma is a good example: almost an instrumental and without much of an explicit intention, it perfectly reflects the unique melange of this year’s emotions: uncertainty, worry but

SONG PICK: Aly Jett - Bad Dreams

SONG PICK: Aly Jett - Bad Dreams

While “Reverie”, one of Aly Jett‘s previous singles featured a melodic piano backdrop, she changes gears drastically in “Bad Dreams”, replacing the mellow piano with fierce guitars and steady percussions. Alone her soft, appealing vocals provide a reprieve from the feeling of unease. We reached out to the California-based

Irene Skylakaki

SONG PICK: Irene Skylakaki - Sutherland Avenue

Greek singer/songwriter Irene Skylakaki does something of an experiment with her song “Southerland Avenue:” while she ostensibly sings about a failed relationship of her own, she does it in a way that invites you to fill in the blanks. Then the song fades out with a 80 seconds long

SONG PICK: Eric Selby - Another Page

SONG PICK: Eric Selby - Another Page

The smooth vocals and the coaxing blues guitar in “Another Page” make for love at first listen. The new single by Eric Selby has a beautifully chill flow with lots of lovely pop sprinkles thrown in. Having made a name for himself as sought after session musician, Eric Selby now

SONG PICK: C'Est Karma - Industrial Salt

Karma Catena aka C’est Karma is a singer, songwriter and producer from Luxemburg. Her latest single “Industrial Salt” is a stunning electronic track which comes up with a new sonic surprise around every corner and accumulates loads of of chills-inducing drama on the way. Karma took the inspiration from

SONG PICK: Blessed - Structure (Video)

SONG PICK: Blessed - Structure (Video)

Canadian art-rock band Blessed released today their new single “Structure” together with an enigmatic music video, directed by Kaayla Whachell. The single and music video announce the upcoming EP “iii” out February 19th, 2021 via Flemish Eye Records. The four-piece carries the label “art-rock” for a reason as “Structure” does

SONG PICK: Katie Kuffel - Carillon

“Carillon” is about recovering from a violent attack that Seattle-based singer/songwriter Katie Kuffel experienced in college. But the song does not much dwell on the suffering, but emphasizes the resilience that helps overcoming such a horrible experience: horns, organ, guitar and Katie’s powerful vocals all blow into the

SONG PICK: Luke De-Sciscio - Casuals (Video)

SONG PICK: Luke De-Sciscio - Casuals (Video)

For many people, 2020 was more than just challenging. And particularly for artists, this also meant a severe crack in their creative process, with difficulties coming up with words and melodies or whatever their medium of art. However, London-based singer/songwriter Luke De-Sciscio shows no slowing down, thankfully! Had we

SONG Pick: Ellereve - Melt (Video)

Elisa Giulia Teschner is a singer, songwriter and producer from Munich, Germany and Ellereve is her new solo project. First single “Melt” is a dark electronic pop track where two conflicted characters seem to find each other – until a heavy synth line in the bridge hints that fate might pull

SONG PICK: Thom Southern - Perfect Someone

SONG PICK: Thom Southern - Perfect Someone

Unsure what you are craving these days, but I seem to gravitate towards the sunny songs, the ones with a big dose of hope and a touch of nostalgia. “Perfect Someone”, the new single by Belfast singer, songwriter and producer Thom Southern hits all the right buttons. When I read

SONG PICK: Viviana - Weather

Houston-based singer/songwriter Viviana is fed up with not getting past small talk with a significant other. It feels like the musical equivalent to the talk at the turning point in a relationship, when the two sides determined if they have a future together. Viviana’s new song “Weather” has

SONG PICK: The Jacques - The Ugliest Look

SONG PICK: The Jacques - The Ugliest Look

While this year has been taxing and unpleasant in many different ways, we can, fortunately, enjoy lots of great new music. The fantastic debut album “The Four Five Three” by London and Bristol-based quartet The Jacques is the latest example. Asked about the record’s title, frontman Finn O’Brien

SONG PICK: Hayley Ross - Moving All Around (Video)

Hayley Ross is a singer/songwriter from Brighton, England, but musically you would put her rather on this side of the Atlantic. Our Song Pick of the Day “Moving all Around” is an earthy guitar-driven song with sweeping cinematic qualities. Originally released on her debut album “The Weight of Hope”
