This Week's LITM Pop Picks Is An Astounding Curation of Diverse Pop Tricks with artists like Nathan Irving, Club Solitaire, Black Coco, Taura Lamb, and Rehya Steven.
Nathan Irving - Locked
Nathan Irving is a singer-songwriter and melodic pop artist who has a penchant for finding harmony, both sonically and emotionally, among the convoluted lines of human experience. And his passionate builds open this week’s LITM Pop Picks. “Locked” is the sophomore single of Nathan Irving. And the degree of sophistication he brings to the track speaks to his succinct artistic vision and insightful emotional quotients. The track is equal parts acoustic pop and pop rock. While the former sets up the sordid melancholy of the story, the latter liberates the protagonist with its vibrant melodic ability and versatility. The soundscape is reminiscent of a seamless coalition of Ed Sheeran and Coldplay.
Taura Lamb - Chapters
Taura Lamb is up next with her latest single, Chapters. Blending nostalgia with drizzling acoustics and dreamy bedroom pop, this track is easily a contemporary classic. Redolent of Clairo, Troye Sivan, and Phoebe Bridges, Chapters has an incredible young adult appeal as it fondly traces past memories of carefree days, spent living with best friends in the city. Taura’s wispy vocals are soft and supple, layered with effervescent harmonies and smooth synth screens. The glinting guitar strings form a faint ripple in the backdrop, its warmth adding to the vocal emotion. If you’re grappling with growing pains or just feeling reminiscent, this track is perfect for you.
Rehya Stevens - Love Party
This next track by Rehya Stevens will rain flamboyant synths and vibrant vibes all over you. Love Party curates the grand thrill and mounting euphoria of celebrating freedom of self expression, diversity and equality on the dance floor. You gotta love a message like that! With colorful melodies and driving momentum, the electro-pop track is irrepressible. Esteemed "South Park" composer Jamie Dunlap powers the track with dance rhythms that pair perfectly with Rehya’s versatile vocal display as she effortlessly roams the spectrum of high octave vocals, texturized with soft rap accents and playful hoots. The track is an instant mood changer with futuristic rave elements and house builds. Listen Now!
Black Coco - Kumbaya
African singer-songwriter and afrobeat/afrofusion artist, Black Coco sweeps in with her brand of life-soaked soulful pop. This penultimate track is taken from Coco’s latest EP, Snowball. “Kumbaya” is powered by lilting afrobeats and soft synth flows. The artist blends R&B energy with alt-pop sensibilities to genially coat the bouncing beats. Thoroughly enjoyable, it melodically and rhythmically infuses a freeness in the listener. And even a certain romance. Coco’s vocals take on versatile personalities, adapting to the evolving beat patterns and energies. Ranging from smooth sopranos to raspy baritones and wispy harmonies, the mosaic of timbres seamlessly weave into the changing rhythm environment and emotion. Listeners of Rema, Fireboy DML and the like are sure to enjoy this artist’s work.
Club Solitaire - Silent Exit (EP)
New-Jersey singer-songwriter and music producer, Zachary Kowalski claims the last spot with his double single, Silent Exit. Strung with bursting blues and dreamy sentiments, the two tracks - Fine Dining and Mental Pictures flow into each other to form a sensational continuum. While Fine Dining is more hyperactive and loosely structured, Mental Pictures is intimate and soulful. Zachary’s textured vocals carry through the fuzzy synthscapes to discover nostalgia, heartbreak, melancholy, romance. With dazed provocations, listening to these tracks will loop you into an atmosphere of pensive reflections and surreal joy. Its pastel extensions and soft sonics blur the lines between bedroom and indie pop.
