In this week’s edition of LITM Pop Picks, we journey into the worlds of retro-wave, synth, jazz, indie pop, rnb, electronica and more featuring artists Cadenti, Atlin Morgan, SIESKI, D. Green and Pure Inch.
Cadenti - Bleed
Cadenti's “Bleed” is a reflective venture into the realms of shoegaze and retro synth-pop. The delicate balance between whisper and wails in the vocals’ tonality evokes a profound sense of heartache, as if the singer's soul is bleeding onto the musical canvas. The lyrics, poetic and evocative, plumb the depths of human fragility, tackling themes of loss and heartbreak. The song's grand sonic atmosphere mirrors the colossal pain of departed love. Starting delicately with plucky guitars, keys, and vibey vocals, the chorus erupts into a dramatic blend of blaring synths, ethereal piano chords, and vibrant strings, exuding a majestic aura of melancholic beauty. “Bleed” isn't just a song; it's a raw emotional journey, a cathartic release that resonates with the agony of heartbreak.
Atlin Morgan - Home
Atlin Morgan's "Home" is a melodic alchemy, blending genres from jazz to blues. Daniel Sinclair's baritone voice features on the track and it dances in perfect synchrony with Morgan's; a celestial duet reminiscent of the moon's graceful waltz with Earth. Morgan's diverse sonic palette, ranging from pop, folk, jazz and more, is made evident in this track given its effortless fusion of jazzy vocals, folksy guitars, and bluesy piano melodies. Her vocal finesse, a fusion of jazz and classical mastery, lends the piece an emotionally resonant quality. Morgan’s lyrics speak of a place called home, not necessarily a physical location, but rather a sanctuary of the heart. The melody, a lullaby with a touch of down-tempo jazz percussion, invites listeners to close their eyes and let "Home" be their serene musical haven.
SIESKI - In The Matters
SIESKI's "In The Matters" is an indie-alt pop sonic ocean that lets you float away in serenity while gently rocking you with her vocals like the waves do, standing true to her artist name SIESKI, inspired by the sea(SIE) and keys(KI) of the piano. The instrumentation has a minimalistic allure featuring just the guitars and vocals. SIESKI's voice, smooth as velvet, dances with the grace of a ballerina, delivering vulnerable and honest lyrics as if she's whispering her innermost thoughts directly into your ear. Lyrically, it explores the admiration for someone that illuminates you from the inside, fills you with love and brings out the best in you. The melody echoes in the chambers of your heart long after the song ends. This song, in the artist's words, makes you feel so good.
D. Green - Gravitational Pull
D. Green, a New York City-raised, LA-based artist, delivers a slick musical journey in “Gravitational Pull”. The funk-infused signature hook is irresistibly catchy, anchoring the song in memory. Plucky guitars, suave basslines, and a lively yet gentle tempo create an irresistibly groovy soundscape. Green's vocals are the sonic equivalent of plush bouncy mattress, enveloping the listener with its deep, luscious quality. The R&B, pop, and soul elements create a magnetic sound with a gravitational pull that you cannot escape. The lyrics, a poetic ode to an enchanting lover, adds emotional depth to the infectious groove. Fans of Bruno Mars, Anderson Paak, and The Weeknd will undoubtedly find this song enjoyable and addictive.
Pure Inch - Meet Me On The Dancefloor
"Meet Me On The Dancefloor'' by Pure Inch is an eclectic fusion of electronic genres—funk, pop, synth, club, and house, laced with a hint of psychedelia. The track is an unapologetic invitation to let loose and move. It is infused with experimental elements and nostalgic sonic echoes. Celestial swirly hooks, deliberate pauses, and surprising sonic elements that materialize into existence, create a living, ever-transient rhythm. The slithery basslines, vibrant synths, and mushrooming chime-like melodies add layers of complexity to the sound. The song is a trippy journey into the heart of electronic music, capturing the essence of rave culture with a personal and innovative touch. "Meet Me On The Dancefloor'' is a raw yet refined electronic extravaganza that delivers a relentless pulse of energy.
