Treading along the path of spirituality to making you feel like you’re on the dancefloor with the lights dancing off of your skin, this edition of LITM Pop Picks is the definition of range. The list features artists Karen Atkins, snow shack, and Zekiizo.
Karen Atkins - She Rises
A song that will move your soul, urging it to come in alignment with you, Karen Atkins’ ‘She Rises’ is spirituality woven into a song. The track is a tribute to a very dear friend of Atkins, as she sings about everlasting spiritual connection. The song is a blend between spoken word and folk-pop elements. The song has warm guitars spread throughout and a steady percussion that doesn’t overwhelm the overall arrangement and instead allows the song to feel light and floaty. If you’re looking to shut out all the chaos around for even a few minutes then give this wonderfully soothing track a listen.
snow shack - weekend
Featuring mellow, laidback beats, snow shack’s ‘weekend’ feels like driving along the coast with the windows down. Keeping in line with the name of the song, it does feel like putting the week’s chaos behind you as you get ready to unwind. There is a spacious to the song, without having a clutter when it comes to instrumentation. The minimalistic production gives the song its relaxing appeal. The vocals are also laidback and smooth, naturally winding and moving along. Put this song loud on your speakers as you drop onto your couch after a tiring day of coming face to face with the world.
Zekiizo - kiss
A thrilling electro-pop track, ‘kiss’ by Zekiizo will have you swaying to its beats before you realise that it’s even happening. The track is upbeat, featuring swirling synths that make the song immersive and make you feel like you’re in a club with neon lights washing over you. Zekiizo’s haunting, whispery vocals add a sultry touch to the track which creates an interesting trance-like vibe. This alluring nature of the song comes hand in hand with the theme, which is about being pulled towards a new connection while still actively thinking about a past connection. You will be moving your body to this song seconds into it, hypnotised by its magnetic beats.
