SONG PICK: elegant slims - Hemisphere

For now there we have only music and cover art by Norwegian painter Linda Syvestsen from New York artist elegant slims. Everything else around her is a mystery and we learn hopefully more in the months to come. But then, her latest track “Hemisphere” is such an excellent piece of

SONG PICK: Moderate Rebels - I Love Today

“I Love Today” is a good motto live by, but if you hear the London-based collective Moderate Rebels sing it, some doubts may arise. There is a good deal of chaos in their latest single and some anger seems to shine through. The band’s statement also leaves things rather

Music

SONG PICK: Jeffe - Undecided

Jeffe – simply pronounced “Jeff” – has it all down with her second release “Undecided”: layered, intimate vocals deliver a stream of consciousness over an electronic backdrop that doesn’t seem to know where it wants to go. All in all, the state of being “100% undecided” can hardly be better put

PHOTOS: glamglare presents: The Sleeping Tongues, Holy Golden, I/O, La Moreno

As much we loved “Cheetos and Champagne”, nothing could prepare us for La Moreno’s live show: in equal parts concert and theatrical performance, Anita Moreno turned The Delancey showroom in some sort of glowing mythical place. The smart, brilliantly executed rock by five-piece I/O, led by Tyler Hicks,

SONG PICK: Sumi - Bullshit Detector

Brooklyn via Japan artist Sumi is calling liars out with her latest track “Bullshit Detector”. What she calls a “comedic theatrical silly dance track” has actually a lot of power: turn up the hammering beat, relentless synths and Sumi’s angry vocals when you’re venting next time about somebody

Music

SONG PICK: Akine - No Gold

“She has gold running through her fingers, it turns to mold, yes she was a thinker, but now she’s sold, to the highest bidder”. At 17 years old and at the beginning of a career in the music industry – which saw many of such stories – one wishes that Akine

Music

SONG PICK: Ash - Naked

There is music that floats around you, immediately brings you into a relaxed mood and makes you want to move to the beats. The new track “Naked” by Canada via Hawaii artist Ash does exactly that and you would not think that she lives on a farm, given the night-out-in-the-city,

SONG PICK: Julietta - Smooth Sailing

SONG PICK: River Hooks - Worth It

“Worth It” is the debut track of new NYC-based singer/songwriter River Hooks. She produced the track herself and proves that she can well resist the temptations of the endless possibilities of modern music production software that makes pop songs often sound so generic. “Worth It” is rather stripped down

SONG PICK: Steady Holiday - Who's Gonna Stop Us (Video)

Not often music and video fit so well together, enhance and support each other like with the cinematic and mysterious “Who’s Gonna Stop Us” by Steady Holiday, a project of L.A.-based singer/songwriter Dre Babinski. It deals with two manipulative characters who run into and struggle with

Music

SONG PICK: Polartropica - Golden Soul (Video)

Ihui Cherise Wu aka Polartropica likes to fuse polar opposites together in her music. We noticed that already with her 2017 track “Olympia” and her new offering “Golden Soul” goes a similar way: on one hand it is a shimmering, sprawling pop song with chipper vocals, on the other hand

Music

SONG PICK: Prinze George - Mind Over

“Mind Over” is a new track by Brooklyn trio Prinze George. “You’re let me take your mind over” Naomi Alquist sings, but if you want to know how and why, you need to speak French or maybe Spanish. If you don’t – like me – you will still enjoy how

Music

SONG PICK: Satellite Mode - Terrified

Music

VIDEO: Battery Operated Orchestra - Bella

The Australian/Scottish synth pop duo Battery Operated Orchestra celebrated summer with a mostly upbeat animated video “Bella” created by singer Brigitte Rose. But they take their musical inspiration from the 80s and add a dose of the dark side of that decade too. The ten track album “Snare” is

SONG PICK: YAS - Poison

SONG PICK: Rynn - Tokyo

Spending time in a place far away from home, in distance and culture, is a good way of finding to yourself and put things into perspective. For L.A.-based singer/songwriter Rynn this happened in Tokyo and she wrote a shimmering, floating pop song about it. She recalls: Tokyo

VIDEO PREMIERE: Oriel Poole - Brighter

While the title of the new Oriel Poole single is „Brighter“, it starts in a dark corner, with Oriel seductively whispering in your ear over slithering bass lines and heavy beats. Then, as the song progresses, she is releasing you with lighter notes and swirling synths – after all her vision
