In this edition of LITM Pop Picks, we have Himmat Singh and more!
Himmat Singh - “Drip Drip”
A singer and producer based out of Los Angeles in the united States, Himmat Singh crafts soulful, infectious pop music sung in Punjabi - and on his latest single, “Drip Drip”, he reaches to the soft, gentle pianos and the groovy electric guitars to present a sound that is as smooth-flowing as it is catchy and gentle. The ambience is as sweet as sugar right from the start of the track, and this is only made better by Himmat’s singing, adopting a soft, velvet-like softness in his timbre. The production bears its minimalism with pride, with great low-end and balance in the mix; check out the track here!
Rony Rex - “I Could Be”
Rony Rex, emerging a decade ago as one of Finland's top dance music tastemakers, is renowned for his eccentric performances, unique housey mixes, and collaborations with artists like Carla Monroe and TT The Artist, presents his latest track, “I Could Be” — a delightful, peppy and energetic minimal house number that brings the melodic goodness of deep and progressive house, the atmosphere of ambient house with the grit and danceability of minimal house; with its back-to-roots bass sound and a great sense of rhythm and energy through the song, this one is more than sure to get your feet grooving in a jiffy this week.

Ella Marie - “Ride or Die”
Swedish artist Ella Marie crafts memorable electronic dance and pop songs with festival-inspired instrumentals and catchy, heartfelt lyrics about love and relationships — and on her latest single, “Ride or Die”, she presents sweet messages in her lyrics relating to themes of love, warmth and togetherness, brought about in conjunction with a downtempo, relaxed and mellow beat that derives from afrohall music, some house and some electronica to create a great deal of diversity in the production — ensuring ear candy and something to look forward to throughout the duration of the song.

Charlie Lane - “Dance With You”
Charlie Lane, a powerful and eclectic singer-songwriter from Melbourne, Australia, has been making waves in the music scene, blending influences from The National, Kate Nash, and Amy Winehouse — and on her latest single, “Dance With You”, she brings it with her own spicy twist of synth-laden sound beds to create a distinct, immediately recognisable sound that’s uniquely hers. From the gritty texture of the bass synths down low to the cheery guitar chords in the background, the production on this song is excellent, and is capped off by Charlie’s singing and harmonies, which elevate this track further, making it a positive, radiantly happy listen.

Kelsie Kimberlin - “The Drawer”
Meet Kelsie Kimberlin, a visionary American-Ukrainian musician and singer-songwriter who uses her powerful voice and poignant lyrics to spark change — making use of music for the powerful perspective tool it is to talk about topics that deserve the eyes; and on her latest single, “The Drawer”, she brings a sobering sound with her pianos, steady percussion and wide, expansive atmosphere that contributes to the story that unfolds, just as much as her vocal power that shines through. Adopting a mellow, gentle singing approach, Kelsie delivers an impactful vocal performance that leaves listeners craving for more. Take a listen to the track here!
