These LITM Pop Picks are free, upbeat, and and confident; featuring Lana Crow, Every Us, and Etta Heartfield!
1. Lana Crow – In Spirit
Lana Crow’s In Spirit is exhilarating in the release it provides; you can instantly imagine this being the kind of song that plays in a club pulsing with energy as the dancefloor lights up. It draws you in with its synths and Lana Crow’s ethereal voice that sounds as if it’s coming to you faintly from another room. The accompanying music video complements the song’s theme (“Go lose yourself, just be a fool / The wild, the free, it is all you”) and sound perfectly: visuals of people opening up, having fun without the fear of being judged for being “weird”. Listen to In Spirit here!
2. Every Us – Cavalry
The opener to Every Us’ EP Some Kind of We, Cavalry is a neat production that acknowledges all the people that “get me through.” With lyrics like “Come over / Put your whole love on my shoulders / ‘Cause we’re all we got / Imma show up ’til we’re gone, ’til we’re grey, ’til we’re older,” the song uses synth sounds and breathy, slightly hazy vocals to create an atmosphere that’s upbeat and optimistic without becoming surface-level. It’s a song made for the moment in life when you realise that it doesn’t matter what you end up going through, as long as you’re doing so with people you can truly be comfortable around. Listen here!
3. Etta Heartfield – Underground
Imagine a song that fuses sensual intrigue with a commanding vocal presence that dominates every other element present. That’s Underground by Etta Heartfield – a track that simply radiates confidence, clarity, and composure. The highlight of this track is, without a question, Heartfield’s vocal performance that seems to walk though the song, slowly, with power, with all the calm swagger of someone who knows she’s got your attention. Harmonies swell in the background, adding depth to the track along with the restrained instrumental layers – all in all, they create an atmosphere that cannot be missed. Give Underground a listen here!
