When singer/songwriter and producer Caro rhymes “All my friends move away, leaving me for LA” then it profoundly resonates with me because this can be taken literally: some lovely friends of mine have exchanged New York with Los Angeles (it is not just all about the weather, is it?) but others even[…]
The control you you have over your life and the forces that take it from you are the topic of the new song by duo The Familiar – a transatlantic collaboration between Ruth Mirsky and Mads Martinsen. Both have roots in Norway and this reflects in their dark, melodic synth pop songs. You can find two more, similar excellent tracks on their latest EP, also called “Control”.
The ambient flow of “Anima” is soothing and comforting, yet at the same time also highly hypnotic as the new track by Golan draws the listener immediately in. Golan are a Romanian electronic three-piece, coming from different backgrounds and skills. From what we have learned about them, their live shows[…]
19 year-old musician Ria Carval has embarked on the path to pop stardom on her own terms: she moved from Cali, Columbia to Albany, NY to study the music business and takes full control of writing and producing her music. Ria’s latest song “Reflections” is a catchy but soothing pop ballad about star-crossed lovers that feels consistent with the mission to be force of good in the lives of her listeners.
The video to “Ladder To The Sun” drew me immediately into its compelling story. It is so nice to see young people hanging out together… “Ladder To The Sun” is the second track from Zaac Pick‘s upcoming album “Passages” (out May 22nd) and with its melancholic undertones yet overall optimistic[…]
The release of a new Austra album is always a special day at glamglare. “HiRUDiN” – you don’t want to know what this is if you are squeamish – is just Katie Stelmanis fourth album over almost a decade and a lot has changed since her first full-length “Feel it Break.” What remained the same is the diverse approach to the production and her clear, bright almost outerworldly vocals. I recommend listening to the entire album, but the latest single “Mountain Baby” is a good summary for what to expect: an intriguing collage of sonic experiences, featuring a Toronto children’s choir and fellow Canadian musician Cecile Believe (fka Mozart’s Sister).
The sun came finally out today in New York, and while enjoying breakfast on the balcony, we were listening to my playlist of potential song picks and when “I’ll Have Another” came on, I loved the track all over again. The track is defined by its groovy John Mayer vibe, complete[…]
“I Am Art” says New York-based producer and singer Mïrändä and she proves it with an impressive, swirling video, with all visuals created by herself in isolation. “Limitations can set you free,” she says, but this is not just about her. We all can take this as motivation and inspiration to get through the current situation. After all, art is at the core of the human spirit.
Going with stereotypes makes it hard to believe that Video Age are a contemporary band at home in New Orleans. Their sound is so blissfully nostalgic, with 70s glitter and irresistible groove, that I had pictured them hailing from somewhere as sunny and seemingly carefree as Los Angeles or Malibu.[…]
Tuscon-based singer and producer Emmy Wildwood goes in many different directions on her new album “Heavy Petals” (Apple Music | Spotify) The uniting element between the songs is the unapologetic use of a smacking drum machine, but on top she layers different instruments and styles and condensed the currently super-trendy DYI bedroom pop vibe to its very essence. The closer “Electric Dreaming” is the most electronic of the 9 tracks, but there is much more do discover on the record.
