Crux - Lost Souls

Crux brings us some of their classic grunge rock soul with their latest offering “Lost Souls”. This track has a masterfully crafted soundscape which is largely made up of organic instrumentation that drives the main motifs that this song contains. The bassline is frantic and authoritative and the perfect bridge for the mids and low-end of this track to rest upon. With a fiery vocal performance and pointed social commentary this musical outfit has mastered the art of making hard-hitting music that says something about our world. I loved listening to “Lost Souls” and so will you!

Britta Raci - embarrassing

Britta Raci has crafted a painfully relatable and resonant track with her latest track “embarrassing”. On this track, Britta reflects upon the once-sweet memories of a failed relationship and sings about how they leave you with a sense of embarrassment in retrospect. This potent gut-punch of a theme is paired perfectly with a soundscape that is full of character and energy with clean guitars and synths driving the melodies. I loved listening to this track and so will you, so go give Britta Raci’s music a listen and add “embarrassing” to your playlists today! 

Madam Who? - Reclaim Your Power

Madam Who? has brought us a track that is a self-confidence boosting piece of rock mastery with her latest track “Reclaim Your Power”. This song is a genre-melding expression of artistry with a soundscape you can't neatly categorise as any one particular style or genre. The songwriting of the lyrics talks about and deals with themes of self-love and how validating yourself is a part of ‘reclaiming your power’, and this song leaves you feeling hyped and ready to face the world. This song is the perfect blend of happy and inspirational and is a song everyone needs to have in their mixes! 

She Made Me Do It - Artificial

She Made Me Do It has crafted a poignant and potent track that is driven by laid-back drum beats and an atmospheric soundscape with their latest offering “Artificial”. The instrumental of this track has a subtle ethereal nature to it that gives you a feeling like you are levitating as you lose yourself in the ambience of this track. The vocal performance is stellar with the right mix of fiery and reserved leading to a sublime listening experience like no other. She Made Me Do It are talents you really shouldn’t be sleeping on and you need to have their music in your playlist! 

Madame Psychosis - Concrete Streets

Madame Psychosis has nailed their progressive and smooth-sounding alt-rock sound with their latest track “Concrete Streets”. This track is a delectable mix of poppy tunes and classic and familiar rock elements. The guitars have a wonderful warmth and spring to them and the uptempo drums keep you on your toes and engaged with the sonic journey this song takes you on. With a vocal performance that ties the whole soundscape together, this band has crafted a dynamic and momentum-filled listening experience that is thoroughly satisfying to listen to. I highly recommend checking this track out today and adding it to your playlists!
