SONG PICK: Linying – Alpine

Our Song Pick of the Day is a song by Linying from Singapore: her latest track “Alpine” starts quiet, almost inaudible and then soars into big, chills-inducing ballad. Maybe she had a sunrise in the mountains in mind, when she chose the title. Linying is working on an EP “Paris[…]

SONG PICK: inc. no world – Waters of You

NEW TRACK: Ofelia K. – Killing Me

“It’s killing me, killing me” sings Ofelia K. in this upbeat and bouncy pop song. Not literally, of course, but sometimes emotions in a serious relationship can have a similar effect.
