Grace Dumdaw and the identical twins Matthew and Lance Tran make music in New York as Chanpan. In the lighthearted, bouncy song “<3 attack,” Grace does not beat around the bush: if the relationship continues like this, it is over.
No doubt, we live in “Loud” times. Not a day passes without somebody telling us how we should live and what we should do. “Can’t it just be okay to be the way we are?” asks singer/songwriter Holly Blair from LA, and she wants her new song to be a comfort for everyone who feels overwhelmed.
The Canadian singer/songwriter Luna Li takes to a “Golden Hour” of a special kind: it is raining cats and dogs, but she’s experiencing one of the most beautiful feelings in life: “a wonderful time experiencing a slow descent into love.
The Oxford-based French/English singer/songwriter Julia-Sophie released her debut solo album forgive too slow last Friday. The latest single, “wishful thinking,” is one of ten intimate, unpretentiously produced tracks.
NYC singer and producer Glasser will release six new songs as an addition to her 2023 album crux. The first one, “Om,” sounds not like an intentional outtake but an accidental omission of the original tracklist.
According to their Spotify bio, The UK band Arliston are “the UK’s unofficial ambassadors of gloom.” Their new song “Vertical” seems to be on their cheerful side, however, and describes a rather abstract state of mind. “I had in mind a character simply looking for something- keys or a wallet- in a crumpled pair of jeans on the floor,” says singer Jack Ratcliffe.
Sarah-Jayne Riedel, aka SJ, aka Dutch Mustard copes with heartbreak in her new song “Loser.” However, the music, and even more so the video, suggests that she is over it in a good way. “We move on by accepting our feelings and understanding that not everyone speaks the truth. This doesn’t mean we stop being truthful, just more careful with who we trust,” she says.
