LITM Rock Picks are a delicious concoction of stories and more: This week, we have Tom Skinner, myah and more!
Tom Skinner - “Beach Babe”
An upcoming singer and songwriter, Tom Skinner has been making waves in the industry lately, with tracks like “History”, “Does He Know”, and more — and on his latest single, “Beach Babe”, he brings a fun, uptempo pop sound to the table with his melodious vocals and harmonies. Put that together with a gentle piano riff that soundtracks the beat, and gentle drumming, and the result is a comforting, lively listen that remains engaging from start to end. The bridge section in the middle of the song is also well-done with its vocal textures and its production work. Take a listen to the track here!
Red Skies Mourning - “Beautiful Things”
A solo artist and multi-instrumentalist, Red Mourning Skies, aka Chris Aleshire, blends his deep love for Rock, Pop, Rap, Hip Hop, and R&B and comes out with a style distinctly his own on his latest single, “Beautiful Things”. From the grand, epic piano riff that sounds through the intro, the chords hit deep and powerful, setting the grand atmosphere, nodding to the original song in style. The drumming is laid-back and groovy, and plays perfectly into the essence of the song, which is topped off with a tight, balanced mix and master. All in all, a great listen! Check it out here:
myah - “notice you”
A singer-songwriter on the uprising, Myah (styled ‘myah’) weaves beautiful stories using her sense of melody and harmony, which reflect in her past releases, like “i’ll be your light” — and on her latest single “notice you”, she brings the best of her soft-pop, dreamy atmospheric sound as she turns her soft, mellow style of singing into a powerful storytelling tool, with her approachable, easygoing ways. There’s also much to appreciate about the minimalistic, sweet sounding production that lets her voice truly shine, culminating in a listen that both endears itself to the listener, and surprises with its intricacies. Check it out here!
Natalia Quest - “Redemption”
Natalia Quest, a bilingual singer-songwriter born in Russia and now residing in Los Angeles, is a strong believer in authenticity and genuineness of music — striving for the personal touch, she brings her towering vocals and dramatic orchestral ensemble to her latest single, “Redemption”. This track is marked by her intense flair for tension and resolution in her melodies, pushing and pulling at heartstrings, all to culminate in a cathartic, emotionally powerful performance. Swiftly and gracefully accompanied by the strings and the pianos, she manages to rock our worlds on this track — check it out here!
Bones In Butter - “Transform”
Bones in Butter, led by Milutin Krašević, is a Serbian act that unites six creative minds from the Belgrade alternative music scene to bring poignant, emotive pieces styled with hard techno and trance influences with the ferocity of thunderous rock drumming and eerie vocals; and on their latest single, “Transform”, they pull it off, and pull it off well! There’s just enough urgency in the sound to make you shift ever so slightly in your seat, just enough tension for you to scrunch your eyebrows up as you keep listening eagerly; while the techno-esque synth basses add just the right amount of groove. All in all, a great fusion, and better execution! Check the track out here:
