London-based singer/songwriter Zoey Lily came out of nowhere in the May of last year with “Edges” and then disappeared again. Fortunately she is back with a new song “Nothing”, a quiet, retrained pop song that has a way to get under your skin.
Hands down, W. H. Lung are among the Top 10 most exciting U.K. electronic rock acts of 2017, and have just released their third single “WANT”. As with their previous singles “Inspiration” and “Nothing Is”, “WANT” is again a sophisticated, hypnotic, highly addictive and glorious piece of music! Listen to[…]
About a year ago Dream Wife, a trio from Iceland and the U.K., was maybe my most exciting discovery at Iceland Airwaves. We couldn’t make it to Reykjavík this year, but Rakel (vocals), Alice (guitar) and Bella (bass) came over to Brooklyn for a one off show at Baby’s All Right. If anything, their show became even wilder and had a special moment, when singer Rakel asked the women in the audience to “take their space” in the front rows. Then they performed “Somebody”, a song that resonates strongly with the current news: “You were a cute girl standing backstage // It was bound to happen.”
Aside from a myriad of versions of any classic Christmas song, the pop songs also received their fine share of cover versions, some better and some worse than the original one. After all, who else should sing “Last Christmas” than George Michael? And while the cover version of “I Saw[…]
“In my dream world dreams come true” sings U.K. singer/songwriter Giovanna and as simple this phrase may sound, there is something to it, to know of a place where you will not be disappointed. Giovanna is working on new material and a full-length album is expected for next year.
Montreal duo Blue Hawaii got back together for a new album “Tenderness”. Our Song Pick of the Day is the opening cut “Free at Last”, a slow-burning, brooding electro-pop track.
After “Dare You To Love Me” singer/producer Lalka from Brisbane, Australia follows up with another exciting future pop track plus self-directed video that shows her prowling around at a peculiar cocktail party. There seem to be few limits to her creativity and we are very curious about her next steps.
London via Yorkshire alt pop rockers FLAWES got my attention early last year already, when I featured them in our #3IsABand series. Now they have released their new single “This Could Be Real” which is impossible not make it our Song Pick of the Day. “This Could Be Real” sports an[…]
The band’s name, Black Gold Buffalo is somewhat of a false lead: this is not a country band from the middle of America, but a four-piece from London that does club-ready indie pop. In fact, their new single “Peals Deep” reminds of a more danceable version of Warpaint: Black Gold Buffalo has with Hannah Holland on bass and production and Joy Joseph on percussion a similar strong rhythm section that drives the song forward. Add Marc Hayward’s guitar melodies and Keziah Stillwell’s powerful vocals and you have one of the most exciting tracks of the year at your hands.
Much to my chagrin, it happens now and then that the thought of “Too Old For This” crosses my mind but I can’t recall any other song ever having dealt with that line, so now there’s even a soundtrack to go with the thought! “Too Old For This” is the[…]
