What happens when two London-based acts team up and collaborate? The utterly gorgeous “Anna Maria”, that is what happens! After releasing their album “Aetherlight” and heavily touring around it, Mt. Wolf went on a hiatus to spend some time on individual projects. While Mt. Wolf’s singer Sebastian “Bassi” Fox is[…]
Today, New York-based singer/songwriter Vania releases her second single “Wonder,” an introspective song about the unexpected side effects of having been ill. Don’t expect her to be quiet, though: “Wonder” is an epic, cinematic piece of electro-pop in the veins of 90s trance bands like Hybrid or Asura. For Vania this is an important part of recovery.
Big names around the track threat to almost drowning its beauty but this would be a shame because the newest single by psych-rock quartet Temples is infectious – in the best of ways. “Paraphernalia” swoons and swirls in their 60s and psychedelic-infused signature style and will be a sure-fire hit.[…]
Pop songs often deal with breakups and loss, but things are actually going pretty well for L.A.-based singer/songwriter Temme Scott. Sure, there is a bit of anxiety in “A Lot To Lose” too – after all it is 2020 and the next bad news may just be around the corner, but until then why not just enjoy the moment. Musically, Temme gives us an upbeat track with just enough grit to keep it grounded in reality.
Better Person is the project of Polish, Berlin-based musician Adam Byczkowski, who just dropped the first single “Something to Lose” from his equally titled upcoming album. The single is like heading back to the 80s, when Spandau Ballet, Style Council, and the likes were dominating the pop charts. “Something to[…]
Is it a sugar rush? Is it love? For L.A. via El Paso musician Areli Castro aka KiNG MALA these feelings can be similar and are a good base for an upbeat, sing-along pop track. But “sugarblind” plays out differently than you might think: all this sweetness is made truly delicious with good dose of grit through glitchy vocals, distorted guitars and effects.
Hope is as essential for us as oxygen. Without hope, our lives become lifeless and empty. We crave the silver lining on the horizon, the light at the end of the tunnel, and a promise like “Someone Will Be There For You”. This is also what New Zealand-based singer, songwriter,[…]
Time is precious, but often the needs and distractions of the moment make us give it away with little in return. London-based producer and singer Yodashe invites you to spend three minutes and 37 seconds with with her for a special audiovisual experience about time. With an intricate electronic production her debut single “Take Time” shows how something can develop if you just give it time and patience. Like an abstract painting in the beginning the song challenges you to understand its structure, but after an unexpected drop the sonic layers fall more and more into place and fill the space with glittering brightness. In Yodashe’s own words: “It’s a statement piece. If you stick with it to the end you will be rewarded.”
The story behind “Closure” is inspired by personal experiences, Jacque Ryal told us. She is the singer and keyboardist of New York-based electronic, alternative synth-duo RYAL, while collaborating partner Aaron Nevezie is its producer. Songwriting usually comes from a personal place and the story a song tells stands for itself.[…]
At glamglare we have been in love with the music go singer, songwriter and producer Elle Graham aka Woodes since we saw her first at SXSW 2017>. Her bright, glittering synth pop, catchy and often spiked with sonic surprises, had us her first EP playing on repeat while winding down from the festival activities in the hotel room. Now finally her debut album “Crystal Ball” will be out on October 2 (Preorder) and we cannot wait to here what she was working on in the past three years.
Our Song Pick of the Day “Queen of the Night” finds a striking balance between power pop anthem, intimacy and adventurous electronics and showcases beautifully what Woodes is aiming for with her music.
