This week’s pop picks revitalize the energy in our LITM POP LISTS with artists likeShane Rennison, IONA SKY, François Marius and others.
Shane Rennison - Cold Winter
Shane Rennison is a singer-songwriter and indie pop artist with an evocative style. His compositions are dedicated to enlarge emotion with sublime sonic propensities. In his track, ‘Cold Winter’, the artist creates a swirl of neo-classicals, synths, and acoustics to shape the blooms of winter and heartache. Shane’s enriching baritones fill these spheres with nostalgia. He evokes a sense of loneliness, recounting the distant warmth of old memories and moments. The track is taken from his latest EP, ‘Nice to Meet You’. Listeners of Ed Sheeran, Troye Sivan, and Zayn Malik are sure to enjoy the immersive atmospheres of this artist.
Marie Möör & The Other Colors - ‘Nous ne sommes pas au monde’
French vocalist and electronic composer duo, Marie Möör and Laurent Chambert have come out with dark enclaves of experimentation in latest EP/double single, ‘Nous ne sommes pas au monde’. Between the two tracks, the artists play around with energy, texture, tonality and sonic chromas. There’s a sense of largess that they try to bring into the scene with expanding distortions. And with deep, mysterious vocals, we are immersed in the horror of the unknown, while also being exposed to the tingling sense of curiosity. Both tracks are beautiful, conceptual machinations of the theme. With alien and futuristic music cultures, they truly signify what it means ‘not to be of this world’.
IONA SKY - Better
Anglo-American alt-pop band, IONA SKY, introduce their sound with their debut single, Better. The track is a synth-pop and rock blend, jubilant with color, energy and emotion. Its rhythm is easy and mellow that is occasionally heightened by Anna-Sophie’s plush vocal sensibilities. Paired with James Malone’s keys and Simon Jupp’s guitar work, the whole song comes together like a contemporary indie movie. Frames of dream pop and lilting riffs are distilled by youthful moments of melancholic vibrance, dazed romanticism, and fractured hearts. Listen Now!
François Marius - Rasta Dance (Radio Edit)
The Canadian Reggae-Pop artist, François Marius has just put out the Radio Edit Version of his single, Rasta Dance. With enjoyable beats and uplifting instrumentals, the track embraces a chill vibe, full of momentous joy, dance and song. The trumpet paired with the reggae grooves drive the essence of the genre. His vocals supplement the appeal of the backdrop. The artist delivers the verses with that laid-back and effortless Caribbean charm and you can’t help but flow with it. It’s in French, but the charisma is there. Using it as a medium, he draws us into the flush of feel-good energy.
Clara Cloud - The Archer
Hailing from Vancouver, Clara Cloud is a singer-songwriter and alt-pop artist. She’s a storytelling musician, dipping into spheres of fairy tales and mystique in her exploration of the human experience. In her latest release, ‘The Archer’, Clara Cloud weaves threads of ethereal folk vocals with pop blooms to create a theatrical exposition. Her sopranos are ever rising, lofty with emotion, enthusiastic narrations, and outworldly quotients. We see some neo-classical influences forming through the soundscape. Listening to the track gives us the experiences of getting lost in a dreamland, straight out of old children’s books.
