SONG PICK: HÅN - Lens

“Lens” is the new song by Northern Italian singer/songwriter HÅN and it is a crazy good, chills-inducing synth pop gem. She is working on a new EP planned to be released later this year and that is definitely something to look forward to. HÅN explains about “Lens,” which she

SONG PICK: Gatlin - I Think About You All The Time

Break-up songs are often written from a safe emotional distance. Not this one. Nashville-based singer/songwriter Gatlin created “I Think About You All the Time” about events only a few months back, together with fellow musician Victoria Bigelow. This becomes palpable with a special immediacy as Gatlin ponders about the

The New Colossus Festival - Day 1

This is the time of the year where we usually immerse ourselves into music full time with SXSW, and since last year also The New Colossus Festival in our hometown. Of course it is different this year: SXSW is not happening, and it is hard to engross into anything other

SONG PICK: Notelle - Come For Me

Singer and songwriter Notelle is born in Nashville, Tennessee, but this would not give you a hint of where she is going musically. Her latest single “Come For Me” is a haunted, dark pop gem with an elegant production that – while trendy – holds some surprises. And if you want to

SONG PICK: Laura Gray - Break, Drift.

“Break, Drift.” is an apt title for the new song by Montreal-based musician Laura Glover aka Laura Gray. It is about breaking up with somebody, but the music invites you rather to drift along with Laura’s thoughts. It is comforting in its reflective melancholy: these things happen, but you’

SONG PICK: Lauren Ruth Ward - Water Sign (Video)

The new song “Water Sign” by Lauren Ruth Ward stays refreshingly clear from any of the glitter pop of Lauren’s adopted home of L.A. Instead we have gritty guitars and bluesy vocals at a high energy level. “She’s a water sign, boiling to the top,” indeed. “Water
