This edition of LITM Pop Picks brings to you soothing synth-pop, exciting alt-pop, and more. The list features artists Memoryy, Signate, DreamGood and more.
Memoryy - snoopdoggguardianangel
Dreamy, atmospheric and more, ‘snoopdoggguardianangel’ by Memoryy is an alt-pop track you did not know your pop playlists required. The song mixes shimmering synths and beats and creates a beautiful, lush textured soundscape. The dreamy quality of the song is in direct relation with what the song is capturing through its words. The song tells us about the singer’s chance meeting with Snoop Dogg in an elevator, during an emotionally challenging phase of the singer. Beyond the idea of meeting a celebrity, the song explores the heaviness that takes over one’s mind due to circumstances. This is a song that asks you to look beyond the obvious, and that makes it a must-listen.
Signate - Another Day In Paradise
A beautiful take and tribute to the evergreen song, ‘Another Day In Paradise’ by Signate gives the song a fresh sound while preserving its emotion. The instrumentation of the song is influenced by an 80s sound and a modern electro-pop sound. There is a shimmering quality in the song that is woven with great emotionality. The song has a futuristic tone to it, with expansive synths, its electronic beats and more. The vocals too hold them in an encompassing and authentic emotionality. Creative, new, while holding in it a strongly held rootedness to the original, this song will definitely make for a great listen.
DreamGood - Yo Ego
Exploring the multi-faceted nature of one’s ego, ‘Yo Ego’ by DreamGood is a dreamy, bright, authentic synth-pop track that might just be your new favourite track. The song builds slowly, in an almost invisible manner, but by the time you reach its end, you realise the song is not where it started. The soundscape is overall fast paced, and holds that pumped-up, urgent energy that seeps into your mind and takes it over. Lyrically, the song captures the idea of your ego being both a friend and a foe, and what it is to you depends on how and where you meet it.
Abby Lee - Sing My Blues Away
Transporting you to a beautiful, dimly lit mini concert, ‘Sing My Blues Away’ by Abby Lee will transfix you with its magical tunes. The song instrumentation, as evident, obviously leans towards the blues sound, but it also has a jazz-like sound to it. Beautiful, shimmering piano progressions coming together with gently paced rum patterns, and equally gentle and emotive guitars make up the musical architecture of the song. Abby’s vocals are beyond words because they are simply that good – powerful, vulnerable, and honest. Lyrically, the song is about overcoming depression – something that feels insurmountable at some point of time. Give it a listen and thank us later, because it really is a beautifully crafted track.
Sharon Eitan - It’s green
Starting off in a manner that will have you imagine yourself floating through an ethereal spring day, ‘It’s green’ by Sharon Eitan is magical, bright, and hopeful. The instrumentation leans towards a synth-pop sound that is gentle and structurally complex, but comes through as effortless and easy on the senses. Sharon’s vocals are soft and powerful in that softness, and feels like a soothing balm that eases any and every burden that might be on your soul, even if that ease is momentary. There is something so strong in the song’s approach to softness that it affects your heart in the best possible way.
