These LITM Pop Picks are feel-good and reflective, featuring Louise Harrison, Sandro Ferro, Ingeborg, and more!
1. Louise Harrison – Blame It on the Moon
Blame It on the Moon is a soft, lush ballad that highlights just how powerful good vocals can be. Louise Harrison’s voice is almost operatic in its openness and richness, while still remaining soothing. With lyrics like “We talked until dawn / Laughed till we cried / Said we never needed anyone by our side,” the song is a gentle exploration of love and matters of the heart. It doesn’t rely on overproduction: rather, it works with minimalism and ensures that each of its elements shines. Its emotion comes from how vulnerable and intimate it feels, and its subtlety makes it stand out as a piece that’ll touch your heart!
2. Sandro Ferro – Going Wild
Sandro Ferro’s Going Wild wastes no time in establishing an atmosphere of energy and joy. Its high energy and snappy rhythm make it feel tailor-made for open-air concerts; with its bright, driven sound, it never lets up, sweeping you along with its unfiltered carefreeness. The track’s production is clear and precise, with each element holding its own while still flowing seamlessly into a cohesive whole. The standout of the track is how self-assured it is: it’s straightforward and doesn’t rely on gimmicks to hold your attention. If you’re looking for a track that’ll encourage you to move with abandon, this is it!
3. Ingeborg – London City
London City will affect you in strange ways: as it plays, it washes over you easily, but when it ends, you’ll realise it’s left something empty in you, and you’ll loop it again to look for what it could be. All about the contradictions of life in a bustling city – crowds that only make you feel more alone, bright lights that feel cold and impersonal – the song feels lived in and experienced, not merely narrative. Ingeborg creates a reflective, cold atmosphere, evoking feelings of longing, solitude, and the arduous process of finding yourself in a city that won’t wait for you – listen here.
4. Tears Are Just Glitter – 80’s Kind of Sad
Opening with bright synth textures, 80’s Kind of Sad makes for a dreamy, shimmering throwback to what the title promises – textures reminiscent of the ‘80s. Leaning towards that nostalgic sound, Tears Are Just Glitter delivers a song that’s still rooted in the sensibilities and techniques of today, giving you that feeling of ethereal suspension between two eras. Delivered with a chill softness, the song is simple – and addictive in this very simplicity. Beneath its upbeat sound is an emotional weight that sits heavy and refuses to go anywhere once you pay attention to it, and this contrast makes for a very engaging listen!
5. The Domi – See How Much You Have Done
See How Much You Have Done feels like a warm, encouraging hug. It manages the remarkably difficult task of being motivational without straying into the territory of becoming preachy. Its message is clear: take a moment to recognise your resilience and how far you’ve come. Delicate instrumentals, airy vocals, and a comforting rhythm all come together beautifully to create an atmosphere that’s welcoming – a safe space, where you can leave your stress behind. In a world where constant progress is seen as the only way, The Domi offers us another option – a much-needed one! Give it a listen here!
