“This song is a bitter pill of truth we all face at some pint or another. ‘LEad Paint’ by Lucy Frost is a track about those moments of realization you have fucked up and wound up in a relationship that has zero potential for the future.
Delivered in a sweet almost baby doll brand of vocals, the track’s lyrical edge feels just that much sharper.”
“Alexa Kate has the rare combination of vocal tone and emotive delivery that makes it easy to feel the emotions of her lyrics. ‘Not Your Fault’ is a tender and vulnerable track about holding on too long only to realize you are hurting yourself and that pain is of your own creation.”
“Félix Collin leans in on Indie/Alt Pop vibes to deliver ‘I still replay.’ The track is tender and vulnerable while also maintaining a distant loneliness to sell the emotion of the lyrics. The song deals with emotional attachment and an inability to move forward at least in a timely and healthy fashion.”
“Silver Otto is a rising Alt Pop star that blurs the lines of genre and style. ‘Favorite’ asks the question what if we are living a lie and then twists it by asserting who cares if we are because sometimes the fantasy is far more fun than reality.
The artists as well as the song seems to dance on the edges lending an extra air of intrigue.”
“Amy Swift bursts with sultry and defiant attitude on ‘ Under.’ The soulful Alt Pop track is all about that dangerous kind of love. The kind where lust leaves you hungry and desperate even though you know toxicity lurks in the depths of the relationship and it’s only a matter of time before the passion takes a dark turn.”
“Gabrielle Ornate gives us a celestial and forbidden love story about the ‘Sun and Moon.’ The track offers an ethereal take on classic rock style vocals to create an engaging and spot on vibe that gets the wheels turning about the universe at large as wella s how things sometimes don’t work out for reason beyond our control.”
“Alt Pop can take any number of directions and here rising UK Pop star Starling unleashes a stream of conscious style narrative about shedding self doubt and flagellation in favor of enjoying life exactly as who you are. Written on her birthday it feels like a self-awakening we all need from time to time.”
“A heartfelt and meaningful track, ‘Rodeo Clown,’ could be Obed Padilla’s best offering to date. The track is about grief and heartbreak and feeling like you are taking too long to move on to the next phase of life. It si a reminder that we are all on our own emotional journey and there are no road maps.”
“Indie Pop covers a lot of ground but if you are looking for a quintessential track that fits the genre look no further. ‘Close Your Eyes’ from Wintur offers a timeless Indie Pop sound and style that is emotive and vulnerable and full of emotional nuance. With each listen you will peel back another layer and fall deeper in love with the track.”
“Gabriela Bee has plenty to say on her new single, ‘17.’ Before I weigh in I want to share some thoughts from the artist ...
’At the heart of the song, ‘17’ reflects on a formative year marked by overthinking, isolation, and learning to process life as it unfolds.’
Adulthood is tough and taking those first few steps even more so. This song displays a maturity in songwriting and the soft tender delivery sells those emotions well. A track we can all enjoy and appreciate no matter our age.”
“Fresh off her performance at the NFL Draft last night, KELS unfurls this sultry bit of Dirty Blues. ‘Daddy’s Not The One’ is a powerful ode to freedom and independence. The track oozes with confidence and take charge attitude while maintaining a sexy subterfuge about it all. ”
“Kelsey Olivia utilizes an interesting staccato cadence to delivery this Electro Pop track about a relationship that just won’t quite end. Love is hard and letting go can be difficult even when both parties know doing so would be for the best. The unique structure helps us to feel the chaos of such a relationship.”
“Rising alt-rock artist Lø Spirit has something to say to any and all haters and doubters out there. ‘See Me Now’ is dedicated to those who battle chronic illnesses to still chase their dreams. THe video matches the dark gritty determination of the track itself and you can feel the talent and passion in every single element. A song perfect for that motivational playlist.”
“There was a time when moments meant more and not everything was instantaneous. ‘Polaroids’ is about that time. Delivered with Pop Punk energy, Kerosene Cocktail taps into the nostalgia while evoking a call to slow downa nd enjoy the little moments that truly give life meaning.”
“Chloe Star is pissed off and fed up on her latest track ‘Emergency Contact.’ The Alt Pop track is about one-sides love and coming to the realization you are carrying all the weight in a relationship. It is about drawing a line in the sand and saying enough is enough. But doing so with intent and purpose middle finger high in the air!”
“Estella Dawn is back with a calmer gentler track reflecting on her life. The New Zealand born artist now calls San Diego home and has gone on quite a journey both musically and in life.
’Hometown’ is an ode to her past but the magic is others will find it relatable because we’ve all travelled the road of life and experienced many of the same emotions in doing so.”
“Enola Badard originally hails from Quebec but now is based in Los Angeles. The former dancer utilizes a nice rhythmic cadence to deliver the multilingual Pop track, ‘Una Vez.’
Weaving together French, English, and Spanish, she taps into the emotions of having real feelings that have as yet not been acted upon by either person.”
“DJ Don Diablo has collaborated with a plethora of top artists and now he’s unleashing a new track with Wiz Khalifa and A7S. ‘Go Home With A Stranger’ isna Electro/Dance Pop track that sparkles and shone as it builds in tempo and flow. A flawless track that you’ll be singing and moving to for years to come.”
“No one deny Tik Tok’s influence on the music industry and this is a track that first found life on the social media app but is now poised to be a breakout Summer hit. The Deep Huse/ Afro Beat song, ‘Girl In Ibiza’ is a track that’s hard not to move to.
WITH U and Joshua Barakea brings continents together in this collaboration spanning from Germany to Kenya.”
“Born in Istanbul but now living in the UK, Bahar is an accomplished INdie Singer/Songwriter ready to explode onto the Pop scene. ‘I Always Knew That No One Would Love Me’ starts with a soft, theatrical flair that builds into an emotionally explosive vulnerability that borders on anger and those are feelings we’ve all experienced while feeling insecure or jilted.”
