Christine Tarquinio - You and Me
Christine Tarquinio brings an easy-listening experience with her latest release “You and Me”. Her singing is heartfelt and full of emotion that has a subtle charm to it. The instrumentation is lively featuring an organic structure with fuzzy guitars and acoustic percussion that gives this song a warm soundscape. The lyrics of this song are about missing someone in your life and holding out the hope that you’ll see them one day. The repeated lyric “One day you'll see we will be” hooks your ear and is incredibly catchy. Christine is a rising talent in the pop scene and her music will appeal to almost anyone’s palette!
Rearview - A Quest for Smoke (Smoke Remix)
Rearview brings a techno-electronic instrumental that has the same stylings of an 8-bit song with his release “A Quest for Smoke (Smoke Remix)”. The entire song is a triumph as it only has one motif through the majority of its runtime, but it constantly builds upon itself and never loses your attention. This song is a perfect little packet as it says what it wants to and ends without overstaying its welcome. A bite-sized treat crafted by Rearview, “A Quest for Smoke (Smoke Remix)” is fun, dynamic and will have you humming it the rest of your day so go check this song out!
Nicki Wells - The Night
Nicki Wells’ ”The Night” is dreamy and atmospheric and transports you to a moonlit clearing in the middle of the woods. Nicki’s singing is ethereal and enchanting adding to the ambience of this song with a soundscape so large you can easily get lost in it. The lyricism of this song is a lullaby of sorts, but Nicki’s songwriting is brilliant as the lyrics on their own would be poetic and evocative but juxtaposed against the subtle melancholy in the music and vocals gesture at a more macabre message. This is not the type of song you listen to idly but rather a musical experience you immerse yourself in. Nicki Wells is immensely talented so go show her some love starting with this song!
Unklfnkl and Jake Hays - Goth Girl
Unklfnkl and Jake Hays’ latest single “Goth Girl” is a song that flows freely between organic singer/songwriter-styled singing and heavily electronic beats that juxtapose one another. The song is unsurprisingly about being in love with a goth girl, and the singing is masterful with an emotive vocal performance. But the production on this song is simply par none, with the beat section kicking down the doors and bringing the walls of your house down leading to a potent and unforgettable listening experience. Both of these artists have come together to create a song that deserves your attention so go check it out!
Moon and Aries - Knots
Moon and Aries are a musical duo that makes excellent evocative music, and their latest track “Knots” is a song that is sure to linger in your mind for a while after you finish listening to it. This song features a mostly electronic production that never sits still and which is constantly in motion. Every note is crisp and the vocal performance is expertly done giving this song a wide ambience. A perfectly well-rounded single Moon and Aries are artists who are sure to make waves in the music scene, so go give their song a listen, you will love it!
