These LITM Pop Picks are everything from intimate and vulnerable to raw and club-worthy – featuring Levi Sap Nei Thang, Nównøis, Oslo Green, and more!
1. Levi Sap Nei Thang – My Little Offering
Levi Sap Nei Thang’s My Little Offering, the titular opening to her latest album, is graceful and contemplative while bringing you into a zone that’s relaxing and calming. On this track, she opens the doors to her views on spirituality as she goes through a journey of surrendering herself while she returns to God with the purest love. Regardless of your religious beliefs, this track instils faith in you – whether that be in God, your work, or even yourself. The arrangement is restrained and delicate, bringing her authentic vocals to the forefront as they convey her message – this is a track that’ll stay with you.
2. Nównøis – incomplete - the shinobu version
Dripping with bold experimental energy, Nównøis’ incomplete - the shinobu version spans across genres – from R&B-inspired soundscapes to soft electronica, Nównøis pokes and pulls a little bit at everything, blending them to create one beautifully cohesive sound. This track is a masterclass in soft restraint: each element swirls around the other, seemingly all in the background, creating space for you to interpret the song for yourself and inviting you to make your own meaning. A perfect representation of the feeling of emptiness – being “incomplete” – in musical form, this reimagination of her own original sets a tone that’s dark, yet infinitely alluring.
3. Oslo Green – GRAND
GRAND closes out Oslo Green’s latest album, No Strings Attached, with finesse and a light sound that transports you to brighter days with a tinge of sadness. This evocative alt-pop track shimmers and rumbles in all the right places as Oslo Green dances on the line between sweet nostalgia and bitter memories, switching between melodic vocals and spoken word – all while making it all look so effortless. The song blooms open naturally, transitioning between energy levels with smooth, suave ease – and so, when the song comes to an end, and you inevitably loop it back, you’ll be forgiven for thinking “wait, how did we get here?” Check it out here!
4. Kim Cameron – One Breath
Kim Cameron’s One Breath is introspective while retaining an outward-looking shine that gives it character through its 3-minute runtime. Lying on a foundation of bright electronic synths, this is the kind of track that could be the perfect soundtrack to an evening beach party that’s just getting started. The beat constantly pushes forward, pulling the rest of the track along, but it never feels pushy or like it’s hurrying along for no reason. Centring around the idea that connection is the one thing that’ll get you past any obstacles, it intrinsically, gently nudges you to slow down and appreciate what you have.
5. Michael Prunner – Honey Can I See a Hi from You?
Honey Can I See a Hi from You? is as intriguing a listen as its title – euphoria and high-energy flow through it like a pulsing current. It lies on a foundation of authenticity, reminiscent of the best of early 2000s pop with its strong vocals, insistent drums, and carefree guitar. The kind of song that’ll have you jumping and screaming the lyrics in a club, it’s crafted with care and precision while never tipping into feeling overpolished or overthought. With lyrics like “Through the ups and downs, the dark and the light / I’ll stand by your side, hold you tight,” it’s a heartfelt confession that’ll have you wanting to get up and dance, wherever you are!
