A_Shes - glory days
A_Shes has brought us an artsy and atmospheric song that will have you feeling bittersweet and nostalgic with their latest release “glory days”. This song opens on heavy and hazy bass tracks that build up the soundscape with a quick jump to the vocals. A_Shes nails the vocals on this track with the perfect balance of reserved and expressive leading to an incredibly potent emotional reaction with every listen. This track transcends being a mere song and turns into a full-blown exploration of the soul and you owe it to yourself to experience it firsthand!
Lizzie Hill - Murder
Lizzie Hill brings us a dark aesthetic and smooth-flowing soundscape with her latest offering “Murder”. This track is driven by its acoustic guitar instrumentation that accentuates and lets the vocals shine with their perfectly complementary nature. The songwriting acts as an amazingly resonant avenue to express and release feelings of frustrated anger with their resentful tone and barely restrained aggression. This song is one that never affords you the chance to let your attention wander as you are always fully invested in the ambience. I loved listening to this track and so will you, go give it a listen!
Natalie Clark - FREEDOM
Driven by piano keys and a wonderfully energetic soundscape “FREEDOM” by Natalie Clark releases your inner Braveheart with its songwriting and ambience. Natalie’s undeniably bold sound and attitude elevate this song and its message of “ok, go ahead and take your freedom” is made all the more effective and resonant by her performance that can be described as nothing short of parring excellence. The structure of this song also lends itself to an infectious groove that gives this song an endlessly replayable nature that you can never get sick of. I highly recommend checking this track out for yourself and adding it to your playlists!
Kid Apollo - Imposter
Kid Apollo brings us an unendingly immersive atmosphere and contagious hook with his latest track “Imposter”. This song which is a meditation on mental health brings us themes of insecurity and acceptance with its songwriting that most listeners will find incredibly resonant. The drum beat of this track acts as the perfect accoutrement keeping you grounded as you follow along to the rhythm and cadence of the vocal performance, which with its perfectly reserved and laid-back nature ties the soundscape of this track together. Kid Apollo is the talent to keep your eye on as he is sure to make waves in the pop scene with his music!
Biljana Heights - Stranger
Biljana Heights brings us a thoroughly modern and fresh pop sound style with her latest offering “Stranger”. This track which is driven largely at its core by a piano melody that is wonderful and dreamy with its aesthetic, is brimming with raw emotion. The stellar vocal performance elevates the nature and quality of the soundtrack to dizzying new heights. This song is one that stays constantly in motion and there is not a single dull moment embedded within the masterfully produced soundscape of “Stranger”. I loved every second of this song and highly recommend that you go give this song a listen, and add it to your playlists today!
