Nadia - Figure It Out

Nadia has crafted a song filled with groovy beats and an unrelenting attitude with her latest offering “Figure It Out”. This song harkens back to the infectious and iconic structure of tracks from the roaring mid-teens decade with the verses and hooks broken up by electronically produced synth-driven melodies. Embedded in this song’s landscape is a pleasant surprise of folk and traditional musical arrangement and influences leading to an earthy and grounded listening experience. Nadia also sings her heart out with crystal-clear vocal lines and stellar control. I loved listening to this song and so will you, so go check it out! 

Draumr - Slowly Burning Feelings 

Draumr brings us an ambient and immersive experience on his latest track “Slowly Burning Feelings”. This track opts for a slower tempo that leads to your engagement with this track being maximised and the vocals shine through and you can really lose yourself in the melodies. The verse features vulnerable and expressive singing with a delectable layered chorus filled with harmonies and a tall atmosphere. This is the type of song you can find yourself listening to on a calm and introspective night when you just want to experience good music. Draumr has killed it with this song and we can’t wait to see what they do next! 

Nadia Vaeh - Friends U Couldn’t Keep 

Nadia Vaeh brings us an honest and at some times brutal meditation on the complication of the dynamics that govern our friendships with her latest song “Friends U Couldn’t Keep”. This song has a somewhat frantic instrumentation with fast repeating acoustic guitar lines with alternating lines that contribute to the mood of the vocals. Apart from the amazing instrumentation, this song is a lyrical masterclass with its examination and the vocals are perfectly expressive. I don’t think ever heard anyone make the two words “Fuck You” sound as beautiful and empowering as Nadia has and that alone justifies checking this song out. So go give this amazing track a listen! 

Rebecca Sichon - Picking Petals

Rebecca Sichon has impeccable flow and amazing verses on her latest track “Picking Petals”. With a fun groove that you will find incredibly easy to get into, this song will have you bobbing your head and dancing along to the beat with its soundscape and ambience. The synths and backing melodies are spacey giving this song a dreamy character that is incredibly infectious and perfectly complements the vocals. Rebecca’s vocals are amazing with her amazing tone and control evoking imagery effortlessly making this song incredibly emotive. I loved listening to this track and so will you!  

 Sara Beth Yurow - Cuz I’m In Luv

Sara Beth Yurow has brought us a light and breezy song full of heart and soul with her latest offering “Cuz I’m In Luv”. This song features springy acoustics and amazing vocals that stray true to their roots and are incredibly blissful to listen to. Sara explores all the butterflies associated with being in love as well as the character growth one goes through with her masterfully penne-down lyrics. The soundscape of this song is simple in its construction by is made complete by the heart in every note, I loved listening to this track and highly recommend you check it out!
