“Strangers”, the new single by Scottish duo Man of Moon, is as exhilarating as a fancy, fuzzy bubble bath squeezed into a four-minute song. It is as if Kraftwerk meets LCD Soundsystem, together they pick up Killing Joke along the way, and then they are going to party with Chemical[…]
The new song “Forever” by Marva Von Theo, the Athens, Greece based duo of Marva Voulgari and Theo Foinidis takes on big thoughts about life and eternity, but wraps them into an accessible synth pop gem that will stick in your head.

Amber can preserve a moment in for eternity, an idea that strikes close in the current situation, where time seems to be in a weird loop. This is the metaphor the new song by London-based singer/songwriter Jareth evolves around: “being in love feeling like you’re trapped in amber, the way it can feel like it’s going to last forever and every detail seems preserved in your memory.” With Gent Mason lending his vocals and a slow, floating production the track indeed captures a moment which will be in our collective memory for a long time.

With a hook like “with you my garden is green, without you my garden is yellow,” the enchanting ballad intensifies to a powerful love declaration. When asked about[…]
“Tomorrow” is a song reflecting the feeling that many of us have in isolation. Relaxed beats, warped melodies and haunted vocals convert the mix of emotions that seem to be a constant companion these days: sadness, uncertainty, but also hope and relief. It is a perfect piece of modern pop music and one of the unfortunately still rare all-female collaborations: Singer/songwriter Andria Rose from San Antonio, Texas teamed up with Brooklynite Quelle Rox.
