Elizabeth M Drummond - I Tried [Video]

In music and art generally, effort and result are not necessarily correlated. There are many stories of songs that started with the simplest ideas that proved so effective that the end product was simply irresistible. In case of Elizabeth M Drummond‘s third single “I Tried,” the combination of her

Wyldest - Hungry For You to Know

Three more weeks and the third Wyldest album “Feed the Flowers Nightmares” is out. In the meantime, here is the fourth single, a moving, slow-building song where Zoe Meade, the artist behind Wyldest, reflects on the complexity of relationships. She says: “Human relationships are kind of like a game of

eeevee & sweep - the one

eeevee & sweep - the one

They must have got a kick out of this: seven ‘e’ out of 11 letters in their combined name. At glamglare, we get a kick out of presenting one of the rare all-female collaborations: eevee and sweeep are both electronic musicians who go all out on their first track, “the

Night Swimming - Freight Train

Night Swimming is an indie rock five-piece from Bath, England. Our Song Pick of the Day, “Freight Train,” is the “introductory piece” of their debut double single, which leads over seamlessly into “A Wall.” Both songs feature Meg Jones’ airy vocals over melodic guitars to create an irresistible melancholic atmosphere

Janna Pelle - Ever [Premiere]

“Ever” is a big word. Singer and producer Janna Pelle, who made her way from Miami to the woods in Upstate New York, feels ready to tackle “Ever” from two very personal angles. First, Janna takes you back to the past. Asked about the background of the song, she explains:

The Stargazer Lilies

The Stargazer Lilies - Bending The Lines

“Bending the Lines” is a song you can let yourself fall into for a four-and-a-half-minute daydream. Carried on a lush soundscape, Kim Field’s dreamy vocals lead to a psyched-out guitar solo by bandmate John Cep. After that, you want to rewind and experience it again. “Bending the Lines” is

It Was All A Dream

It Was All A Dream - Red Roses

Amy Maskell and Sophie Lowe make music together under the name It Was All A Dream. They both sing and play several instruments, so there is much to discover over the almost six minutes of the song. But mostly, “Red Roses” gives you a feeling for the eternal love around

Synth Lovers Cafe

Synth Lovers Cafe - On my Own (ft. Emily Zuzik)

Synth Lovers Cafe is actually a playlist of synth-based music which is not the same as electronic music. It is also the moniker of a London-based producer who released a handful of songs this year. If this sounds all very geeky, add singer/songwriter Emily Zuzik of Woves and her

Lexi Mariah - Queen of Broken Hearts

Lexi Mariah is not the “Queen of Broken Hearts” – she just does not want to be blamed for everything that goes wrong in her relationship. The Connecticut-based singer/songwriter packs her latest song with playful card game metaphors, and while the problems are real, she shows that humor can be

Asha Gold - Up To Me

Asha Gold - Up To Me

At first, “Up To Me” may sound like an obsessive relationship. But the airy, bouncy production and the repeated use of the far too familiar word “lockdown” hint that London-based singer/songwriter Asha Gold does not mean it that seriously. In fact, the song is not even about a specific

Abby Sage - The Florist

“The Florist” is a metaphor for a person who dispenses happiness to others, which is something that L.A.-based singer/songwriter Abby Sage strives for in real life. But the song comes with a curious restraint in production and vocals that hints at a darker side in the life

Sister Wives - Greater Place

Sister Wives - Greater Place

“’Greater Place’ is our love song to joy,” said Sister Wives, the Sheffield, UK-based band of Donna Lee (vocals/keys/synths), Rose Love (vocals/bass), Liv Willars (vocals/guitar), Lisa O’Hara (vocals/drums). But don’t expect soaring chorales or jubilating string arrangements. The four women stay true to

PVA - Hero Man

“Can’t eat, can’t sleep, can’t get to work” – London trio PVA delivers this state of utter inability as a high-energy synth-pop track that reminds us how emotionally engaging well-crafted electronic music can be. Ella Harris, Josh Baxter (both vocals, synths, guitar), and Louis Satchell (drums) are said

TSHA - Water (feat. Oumou Sangaré)

London-based producer TSHA makes bright, extremely infectious electronic dance music. Her latest song, “Water,” features iconic Malian musician Oumou Sangaré and is sure to heat this and any coming summer weekends. TSHA’s debut full-length “Capricorn Sun” is scheduled for October 7 via Ninja Tune. Listen to “Water,” our Song

Jayd Ink - Queen St.

Getting into your car and driving through the city at night can have therapeutic powers. Toronto-based singer Jayd Ink likes to use “Queen St” in her hometown for that purpose, and what could capture the nocturnal, atmospheric vibe than a classic 90s R&B song. Jayd Ink says about

Pearla - Effort [Video]

“I don’t know why it takes so much effort to feel good these days,” sings Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter Nicole Rodriguez aka Pearla. Chances are that a similar thought has crossed your mind, too, at times when happiness seems to be just out of reach. But Pearla wraps this sentiment

Blondshell - Kiss City

Blondshell is the new project of L.A.-based singer/songwriter Sabrina Teitelbaum. Her second track, “Kiss City,” under the new name, comes with a surprise around halfway: the song explodes like complacency turning into defiance. Sabrina says about “Kiss City:” “I was sick of pretending I didn’t care

Xades - Shaded

Under the name Xades (pronounced “Shades”) Berlin-based DJ MSJY sings to her own music. Her second track, “Shaded,” has plenty of nocturnal club vibes but hints at more ambitions than just being a DJ’s side-project. We cannot wait to hear more from her! Listen to our Song Pick of

Siobhan Sainte - Didn't Lie

We are happy to report that New Zealand dark pop musician Siobhan Sainte is back with new music after five years. “Didn’t Lie” is a scorching hot song about a love that “could rip you apart, but it’s so good you’d let it” put over a cinematic
