Fagan - Where’s the Money?
Starting off with an infectious rhythm, ‘Where’s the Money?’ by Fagan is the epitome of a grand groove. The song in its sound is very late 2010s, with its super catchy melodies and equally catchy rap sections and vocals that involve singing. Genre wise the song is very much of the electronic pop genre. Thematically, the song quite literally is all about money and all that it entails in the modern world. Groovy, with vocal sections that will have you memorising them and singing along as the song plays out loud on large speakers, this song, without a doubt, is a must on your upbeat playlists.
Junior VP - Easy Come, Easy Go
With a sound that will straightaway pull you into days gone by, ‘Easy Come, Easy Go’ by Junior VP is a song you cannot help but love. The sound of the track is inspired by the late 90s to early 2000s rock scene, like Lifehouse, The Fray, and more. The sound does brilliantly in capturing this nostalgic sound through its perfect instrumentation that’s so masterful and of course, the emotive, vulnerable lyrics and vocals. Thematically, the song captures the impact that poor mental health can have on personal relationships very poignantly. Through its honest lyricism and nostalgia driven sound, this song is an easy must-listen.
Grey & Purple Songbook - Endless Emotions
With a tropical house music sound driving the track, ‘Endless Emotions’ by Grey & Purple Songbook is filled with endless groove. The instrumentation of the song is bright, colourful, upbeat and is sure to have your body swaying and moving. The vocals in the song are equally vibrant and feathery and they simply flow so well and brilliantly complement the tones of the music. Amidst all the darkness in the world, this song is an optimistic, hopeful lens to view the world as it was meant to be viewed by the universe. Bright with super catchy melodies, this song needs to be on your playlists this very second.
Leelseel - Someone Else’s Feelings
Ethereally gentle and achingly beautiful, ‘Someone Else’s Feelings’ by Leelseel will draw you into its soundscape gently but surely and you will not want to leave from there. The song is pure brilliance in its production, with multiple vocal layers coming together and blending in to create a truly unique and unforgettable sound. A touch of reverb spreads throughout the track. The instrumentation has been kept quite simple, and this choice is excellent, since it truly allows the vocals to shine through as the sole star. Very different from what’s out there generally, you should pick this song if you are in the mood for something truly unique.
Nata - À Quel Point
With its magnetic rhythms and hooks, ‘À Quel Point’ by Nata proves that good music truly has no barriers. Genre wise the song falls in the electronic pop genre. The best thing about the musicality is that it does not stay stagnant, and instead remains very dynamic, shifting and changing shape. It does so, in a way that does not upset the overall flow of the track, and maintains smooth transitioning of sections very smoothly. The vocals are powerful and full of skill, as they change from loudly emotive to softly emotive. Give this song a sure chance if you are looking to broaden your musical horizons.
