SONG PICK: Jaymes Young – Don’t You Know

In essence, “Don’t You Know, I want you so bad” is a romantic message, but L.A. singer/producer Jaymes Young delivers it quite forcefully, over big beats and distorted synths. It was a hot summer night when he wrote it, so maybe that explains the heat on the song. But one[…]

SONG PICK: JUDAS – Some People

The London-based quartet JUDAS got me with “some people want it all but I don’t want this at all” and the big, anthemic chorus and overall super catchy vibe in “Some People”, their new single. “Some People” is the perfect indie rock song for the summer of 2017 and a[…]

SONG PICK: Violet Youth – Reliable Sources

With their new single “Reliable Sources”, British indie rock quartet Violet Youth released  yet another moody, melancholic gem after their fascinating “Lucid Dreams”. While this new track’s overall vibe is a wistful one, there are also bright rays of optimism thrown in thanks to the shiny synth elements. This is U.K. dark[…]

SONG PICK: Ani Glass – Dal I Droi

There is a good deal of exciting music coming out of Wales, but rarely it is a sung in the Welsh language. Under the stage name of Ani Glass, Cardiff-based singer/producer Ani Saunders wants to connect with her language and culture, but she also seeks a larger audience, who are[…]

NEW MUSIC: Grace Savage – Just For Tonight (Video)

“Just For Tonight”, let’s pretend we can make it work. This – kind of self-destructive – move is what the latest song of UK singer/songwriter Grace Savage is about. In the video this translates into a swirl of color and emotion, before it ends with sobering emptiness.
