House of Seb — My Dreams
House of Seb is an electronic and house music producer from the South of France and his newest single “My Dreams” is a captivating fusion of house music and R&B vocals that continue to show how much he has developed as a distinctive and innovative artist. His music journey continues to expand, as the French artist has dedicated himself to producing thematic tracks that generate messages with new sounds, and I truly believe “My Dreams” is a fantastic testament to his smooth production style and deep-rooted cultural influence.
The Passing Sages — Say What You Want
The Passing Sages’ latest single, ‘Say What You Want’ is a track infused with funky rhythms and rich harmonies. Not only that, but it is also a powerful delicious mix of groovy beats and vocals intertwined within a blend of layered, intricate melodies throughout. The song explores the themes of being bold and breaking down boundaries.
The band’s self-professed aim is to intertwine modern pop music with retro and nostalgic influences, and I feel that has been achieved, which is evident in this vibrant disco and an electronica-inspired new offering from the Scottish six-piece.
Liam Barrack — Bulletproof
RENO & ROME — LIVE WITHOUT YOU
Suffolk indie quartet Reno & Rome’s latest power-pop single “Live Without You” is a catchy and infectious tune that will undoubtedly be your new not-so-guilty pleasure, as the song features shimmering synths, driving beats, and addictive guitar lines that perfectly complement the brooding lyrics about unattainable love. Having two songs featured on E4’s Made In Chelsea, Reno & Rome proves their musical prowess once again with this electrifying offering that continues to show their growth as a solid unit.
Chris Wong – Been Here For Days
Dublin native Chris Wong‘s “Been Here For Days” is an alt-pop/soul track showcasing his genre-blending style and distinctive individuality through hooks, catchy and memorable lyrics, set against a stunning lead synth line, tight midi bass, and smooth drum production.
The lyrics explore feelings of entrapment and frustration, with Wong admitting that he felt like he wasn’t being heard musically. The 24-year-old Irish-Hong Kongese artist says that the song was a response to the frustrations that surround many artists: “You feel like you’re putting 100% into it all but the returns can certainly feel low.”
“Been Here For Days” is a powerful testament to Wong’s talent and potential, and we can’t wait to see what he has in store for us next.
Annie Taylor — Love Is Blind
Swiss psychedelic grunge band Annie Taylor’s “Love Is Blind” is a track that is both thrilling and raw, as the song serves as a lead single for their sophomore album. The band describes the song as their “hate song,” and it’s easy to see why.
“Love Is Blind” opens with a warning from lead vocalist Gini, setting the tone for what’s to come: “Stay away before I explode, anything could make me overload.” The band then launches into an explosive attack of distorted guitars, crashing drums, and snarling vocals that is both acidic and powerful. Clocking in at just over two minutes, the song leaves the listener reeling.
Annie Taylor has always been about pushing the boundaries of what’s acceptable in punk rock, and “Love Is Blind” is no exception, as the track is a testament to the power of the genre, which has always been about speaking truth to power. The band creates music that is raw, unapologetic, and utterly authentic, and “Love Is Blind” is just a taste of what’s to come.
Easy Dreams — All In Blue
Los Angeles-based Easy Dreams’ new single “All In Blue” is accompanied by a beautiful music video, which was directed and edited by the band themselves! The song – the second single from their upcoming album out in May – is a thrilling ride that starts as a quiet nighttime melody before transforming into a rocket to outer space!
The band’s unique blend of post-punk and country-inspired rock, along with their impressive instrumentals and mesmerising equal vocals, creates an experience that is both nostalgic and fresh.
The story of how Easy Dreams came together is a classic tale of fate, as singer-songwriter Meredith, who had previously been part of the post-punk influenced group Young Unknowns, and Brandon, a member of a noisy ensemble called Cuss Words, met by chance at a party in Brooklyn, and despite only having one bathroom for over 200 people, the two bonded over their love for country music, and began their collaboration. The duo slowly evolved into a full-fledged rock band, with their creative chemistry becoming undeniable. Since relocating to Los Angeles, Easy Dreams has continued to grow, building strength and dynamics with each performance.
Dea Doyle — Over You
West London’s own Dea Doyle – inspired by iconic artists such as Carole King and Fleetwood Mac – has given us her latest single “Over You”, which is full of raw, gritty and angsty 90’s rock/pop sounds, incorporated with quick-witted lyrics about life, love, and heartbreak. With this song, Doyle hopes to encourage listeners to leave toxic relationships and celebrate who they are. “Over You” showcases Doyle’s impressive vocals and sets the stage for a promising future in the music industry.
Olive Klug — Casting Spells
Olive Klug’s “Casting Spells” is a heartfelt and nostalgic reflection on Olive’s childhood memories and the lessons they’ve carried with them into adulthood. The track started as a TikTok prompt and is a celebration of individual autonomy and discovering the magic in everyday life. With Olive’s pitch-perfect vocals and storytelling ability, the sparse acoustic instrumentation of is a fitting tribute to Olive’s roots in folk music, and their delicate, narrative vocals invite the listener to take their inner child along for the ride.
La Faute — The Crown
Canadian indie dream pop artist La Faute’s “The Crown” offers a hypnotic new track that explores themes of haunting and déjà vu. The accompanying music video features found footage from the public domain film “Carnival of Souls.” The song is inspired by memories and ghosts and explores the idea of slipping in and out of identities. Using her multi-instrumentalist skills, including a 4-string tenor electric guitar and obsolete hardware samplers, La Faute has created a captivating live show and worked with producers from around the world on her upcoming album.
