This edition of LITM Pop Picks brings you modernity as well as washes you with warm nostalgia with sounds of yesterday. The list features artists Leonie Sherif, Collaborations, and Chris St. John.
Leonie Sherif - TWILIGHT (Sp Deville Remix)
Blending R&B with intoxicating electronic beats, Leonie Sherif’s ‘TWILIGHT (Sp Deville Remix)’ is something that oozes sensuality. Sherif’s vocals, which are passionate and sultry, feel dreamy. The many layers of the electronic beats blend seamlessly and yet stand out, grabbing your attention towards its grooves. The sound texture is rich and at the same time feels so light, making you feel like you are floating with the music. The way the beats move in the song, it results in something hypnotic that takes your senses under its wing. One for the dance floors, this song feels like moving your body in slow motion as you are being coloured by the blues, pinks, and greens of a club.
Collaborations - You Gotta Know
Brimming with the 60s, 70s pop-rock sound, ‘You Gotta Know’ by Collaborations lives up to the retro music scene while having its own modern polish. The vocals and harmonies in the song are warm and rich, which complements the overall instrumentation of the song, which feels like a beautiful spring day. The instruments in the song have been brilliantly played, each of them standing on its own and at the same holding the others up, thus, creating something that’s a treat to the ears. In the times where the digital is taking the lead in every field, this song, that’s full of heart, remains organic and takes you back to the days where things were simpler and nicer.
Chris St. John - A Flower Blooms
Taking you back to the 80s with its sound, ‘A Flower Blooms’ by Chris St. John holds in it nostalgia which is characterised by a blend of rock and Americana. The lead track to St. John’s latest album, the song is everything you’d expect a lead single to be – powerful, memorable and lyrically rich – helping to set the tone for the rest of the album. On your very first listen you will realise that the track has been masterfully produced. The rock elements and acoustic elements fuse wonderfully, helping create a sound that will stay with you long after the last note plays out.
