Cream With A K takes you to the beach in the video "One More Round"

For Lee Tatlock aka Cream With A K the visuals for a song are as important as the music. For her latest song “One More Round,” released this summer, we had to wait a few months for the accompanying video. But that is to even a better effect: when everybody

SONG PICK: Kat Duma - System

Our collective 2020 experience surly will long resonate in the arts. “System,” the new song by Toronto-based singer and producer Kat Duma is a good example: almost an instrumental and without much of an explicit intention, it perfectly reflects the unique melange of this year’s emotions: uncertainty, worry but

Irene Skylakaki

SONG PICK: Irene Skylakaki - Sutherland Avenue

Greek singer/songwriter Irene Skylakaki does something of an experiment with her song “Southerland Avenue:” while she ostensibly sings about a failed relationship of her own, she does it in a way that invites you to fill in the blanks. Then the song fades out with a 80 seconds long

Track by Track: New EP "Sick!" by Laura Jinn

Today, Brooklyn singer, songwriter, and producer Laura Jinn releases her new EP “Sick!,” a razor-sharp production, both musically and lyrically.

SONG PICK: Katie Kuffel - Carillon

“Carillon” is about recovering from a violent attack that Seattle-based singer/songwriter Katie Kuffel experienced in college. But the song does not much dwell on the suffering, but emphasizes the resilience that helps overcoming such a horrible experience: horns, organ, guitar and Katie’s powerful vocals all blow into the

SONG Pick: Ellereve - Melt (Video)

Elisa Giulia Teschner is a singer, songwriter and producer from Munich, Germany and Ellereve is her new solo project. First single “Melt” is a dark electronic pop track where two conflicted characters seem to find each other – until a heavy synth line in the bridge hints that fate might pull

SONG PICK: Viviana - Weather

Houston-based singer/songwriter Viviana is fed up with not getting past small talk with a significant other. It feels like the musical equivalent to the talk at the turning point in a relationship, when the two sides determined if they have a future together. Viviana’s new song “Weather” has

SONG PICK: Hayley Ross - Moving All Around (Video)

Hayley Ross is a singer/songwriter from Brighton, England, but musically you would put her rather on this side of the Atlantic. Our Song Pick of the Day “Moving all Around” is an earthy guitar-driven song with sweeping cinematic qualities. Originally released on her debut album “The Weight of Hope”

SONG PICK: Charlee Remitz - Season Friends

Charlee Remitz is shooting straight in her new song “Season Friends”: people who only drain energy and never give back are no longer her friends. And while the L.A.-based singer, songwriter and producer holds nothing back verbally, her ethereal, bright signature sound takes a bit the edge off

SONG PICK: Giungla - Walk On The Ceiling

There is a lot of great music coming from Italy, Ema Drei aka Giungla was the first who caught our attention five years ago. Now she is back with a new track “Walk On The Ceiling,” that perfectly showcases her unique signature sound: hard-hitting guitar riffs, smacking beats, subtle electronics

SONG PICK: Chloe Rodgers - Faces (Video)

In “Faces” U.K. musician Chloe Rodgers reflects on two diametrically different moments in her life. The beauty of this ethereal, quiet track is the distance to the actual events, which conveys melancholy about the passing of good times, but also hope that the bad ones can and will be

SONG PICK: Isabel - Sparks

It is a wonderful moment when ideas spark, but at some point there is work involved to turn them into something real. In “Sparks” Melbourne-based singer/songwriter Isabel observes the annoying behavior of somebody who is quick with the first part, but lets you down on with latter. The track

SONG PICK: Kate Davis - I Do Anything But Break Dance For Ya, Darling

Oregon-based singer/songwriter Kate Davis was a child when break dance was a thing, so the title alone draws curiosity. Turns out it is a cover song from the 1984 original by the late David Johnston for the benefit of his mental health charity Hi, How Are You. The track

SONG PICK: Gianna Lauren - Closed Chapter (Video)

SONG PICK: Gianna Lauren - Closed Chapter (Video)

SONG PICK: Notelle - Diet Change

Nashville-based singer/songwriter Notelle likes her music dark and with unsettling undertones. Her new song “Diet Change” – released yesterday – has still some of that, but in form of rather subtle electronics beneath a melancholic piano line. “My new reality,” Notelle sings about the moment she realizes that a relationship cannot

SONG PICK: Abbie Ozard - True Romance

“True Romance” refers to the 1993 movie and while you probably don’t want to be stuck in a Quentin Tarantino movie, there are always characters with an undeniable appeal. For Manchester-based musician Abbie Ozard this is Alabama, the lead character in “True Romance”. But this 90s-vibes, power pop, sing-along

SONG PICK: TSHA - Change (ft. Gabrielle Aplin)

We are way into the 21st century and female producers are still few and far between, in particularly those who focus mostly on the music. One of them is Ninja Tune signee TSHA from London who is about to release her new EP “Flowers” on November 13. For the second

SONG PICK: Cherry Blaster - Licorice

Promise and the Monster

SONG PICK: Promise and the Monster - Closed My Eyes

SONG PICK: Ian Sweet - Power

“I wanna feel the power of holding no-one every again.” Where is L.A. singer/songwriter Jilian Medford aka Ian Sweet going with her latest track “Power?” Not depending on anybody can be an advantage. She says: “’Power’ is a manifestation of strength; something I was looking up and looking

SONG PICK: Pauline Andres - Til the End of the World

When we heard of Nashville-based singer/songwriter Pauline Andres for the first time in 2016, she did a particular dark brand of Americana. But now, in times when it is difficult to get together to make music, she turned to warm electronics to craft her new track “Til The End

Samantha Margret

SONG PICK: Samantha Margaret - Feminist gf

The future is female and faking support for feminist causes will not save patriarchalism. That is the message singer, songwriter and producer Samantha Margret has for a particular annoying type of man. There is a good dose of menace in way the song builds: she knows that she will win,
