These LITM Pop Picks are everything from electronica to acoustic; coming to you from artists like The Adel Gomez Band, Fabian Starr, LiMaVii, and more!
1. The Adel Gomez Band – As Soon As Tomorrow
From its very first moments, Scotland-based The Adel Gomez Band’s latest single, As Soon As Tomorrow, establishes a warm, genuine atmosphere that draws you in. With a strong guitar foundation, the song strikes a balance in what it gives you: you’ll feel the nostalgia of a simpler time, even as it never relies on that feeling to draw you in. It knows that it’ll need more than just that groovy sound – no matter how catchy – to stay elevated, and it delivers on this with sincerity, confidence, and a certain sing-along quality that, no doubt, will keep you coming back for more!
2. Fabian Starr – Satellite Club Mix
LA-based Fabian Starr reimagines what EDM can look like on Satellite Club Mix, from his latest album, Back to the Arcade. It’s energetic, with a pulsing foundation that runs through you as you listen, and never strays into becoming something purely functional in nature: rather, it fuses influences to land with intent and movement. Satellite Club Mix’s accompanying music video is a fascinating journey that melds club-forward energy with outer-space adventures; in doing so, Starr creatively brings together a sound that’s relatable and familiar, with one that’s futuristic and makes you want more.

3. LiMaVii – New World 33 – Radio Edit
On New World 33 – Radio Edit, Polish singer Lidia Magdalena Pozanska, professionally known as LiMaVii, continues forging an identity as someone who creates music that’s ethereal, reflective, and intentional. Featuring a pulsing, almost cosmic soundscape, made up of shimmering, glassy synths and beats keeping the whole track grounded, New World 33 – Radio Edit is made with keeping in mind not hooks and choruses, but an immersive experience that remains steady and present throughout. Using harmonies and her delicate, airy vocals to the best possible extent, LiMaVii, along with Giuseppe Bockarie Consoli, creates an atmosphere you’ll want to lose yourself in. Listen here!
4. Mark Andrew Hansen – Beautiful Here 2Day
Mark Andrew Hansen’s Beautiful Here 2Day is an uplifting, positive track that’s sure to put a skip in your step the moment you start listening to it. Instrumentally, the song runs across multiple layers while retaining a delicate, gentle sound that reaffirms Hansen’s identity as someone who dabbles in instrumentation of all kinds. The song is a relatively simple one: with a message that’s been conveyed differently by different people in different ways, what sets this one apart is the sincerity and heart with which Hansen delivers it. A track that’s comforting, familiar, and warm, this song serves as a great reminder to keep noticing the beauty around you. Listen here!
5. JesFotoArt – You are the light
Announcing itself with pomp and grandeur, JesFotoArt’s You are the light is dramatic and cinematic from the get-go; it’s easy to imagine this song soundtracking a high-level fantasy movie or show with its soaring string instrumentals and expansive atmosphere. With lyrics like “The path ahead, a winding road / heavy the burdens, the stories untold / But look inside, a fire burns bright / igniting courage, banishing the night / We stumble, we fall, we rise again…”, JesFotoArt effortlessly establishes a mood that’s powerful and uplifting in equal measure. The song’s vocals are equally strong and complement the crescendoing orchestration perfectly. Check it out here!
