Ela Minus - BROKEN [Video]

“BROKEN” is arguably the most upbeat pop song that Ela Minus has released so far. Until you listen to the lyrics. “I started writing this thinking I was perfectly fine and finished writing knowing I was not,” she admits, and the song reflects this conflict: shimmering synths and cheerful vocals

Lloren - Mad Woman

“Dreams are a dangerous thing for a woman like me,” sings UK singer/songwriter Lloren. Her new song, “Mad Woman,” is a slow-burning, cinematic track that calls for a video filmed in the desert. Lana Del Rey is an apparent musical reference point here, but maybe also as somebody who

Prima Queen - Fool

One of my top favorite song releases of 2024 is little luna's "fool," and so I was naturally interested in checking out Prima Queen's equally titled new single. While little luna calls Los Angeles her home, Kristin McFadden (vocals, guitar) moved from Chicago to

Stranger Cat - Witness

We saw the singer, songwriter, and producer Cat Martino, aka Stranger Cat, live at CMJ 2015, and I remember this show as beautiful and mysterious – in particular because I did not hear much of her in the years after. Fortunately, I subscribed to her newsletter, so I know she will

Carla Aakre - watercolour

When I listened to "watercolour," the new song by Finnish singer/songwriter Carla Aakre, I loved it from the spot. With its warm, fuzzy feeling, it reminded me of the beautiful quality of British singer/songwriter Fenne Lilly, whom Oliver and I are huge fans of. Of course,
