Hot This Week

The Horn releases debut single, "Passion"

Based out of London we have The Horn with their sizzling debut track "Passion". Of course there is not much on this band as they're fresh to the scene, but from what we can hear the quintet is going to be around for a while with their pop-laced rock and roll. Vocally The Horn reminds me of peak Britpop with the soft tones almost sounding like it's caressing the guitar tones, which are equally as charming. It's one of those tracks that is just infectious from the first play, and by the first chorus "Passion" feels like the kind of track you'll be sure to never skip. They've already found their way into several Spotify playlists, which is a testament to how good and infectious their music is. The track was mixed by none other than Blossoms collaborator Rich Turvey - more proof the band mean business, so drop down below and give "Passion" a spin!

Lyra's Orchid unveils dreamy new single, "See You There"

Coming out of the South West of England we have Lyra's Orchid and they have recently released their second-ever single, "See You There". The new single comes quickly after their debut cut "Tides" racked up over 12k plays in only a couple of months. The quartet are split between surfing hotspot Newquay and Bristol - famous for its music scene - and it sounds like their sound has been partially inspired by the waves of the South West coast of England as the way the guitar tones wash over the clean vocals. There's a real nod to The Beach Boys here with how dreamy it is, and with the guitar tones also having been kissed by the reverb gods the whole track is truly expansive, especially at the tail end of the track. It's plain to see why they've done so well off one single, and here's to them for creating a second track to be proud of. Be sure to give "See You There" a play before everyone else does, this quartet is onto something we can feel

Foreign Television reveals warm new tune, "Unglued"

Foreign Television is the project of singer-songwriter Francis Allen, hailing from a beautiful area of the UK, Wales. "Unglued" is his new tune and is his first single since 2020's "School Reunion". His previous cuts have been moody offerings, especially his previous track which saw him get picked up by BBC Radio, a smattering of zines and Spotify curators. "Unglued" is the new jam, and kicking things off when playing the track there is a warm guitar tone layered upon one another - something you hear from Americana bands over the pond. Vocally Francis has matured and the mood is set with his voice caressing the warm bass tones and helping the listener to fall in love with the track. The combination of multiple layers of guitar and his voice is mesmerising and sets this track to be one of the best pieces of music he's written so far. Speaking about the track Francis says - " ... "Unglued" was written and recorded during one of the lo

Lauren Walton reveals debut single, "Hardwired"

London singer-songwriter Lauren Walton last week revealed her stunning debut single, "Hardwired". As soon as you click play you enter Lauren's world of dark and atmospheric pop, it sounds like she has been hugely influenced here by the likes of Lorde and Florence + The Machine. Musically "Hardwired" reminds me of London Grammar mixed in with Jaymes Young's latest work, it's atmospheric, dark and expansive. Big drum notes play chase with the thick synths that act as the bassline, the licks of the piano are also a nice tough giving the single some earthiness - and also the piano also gives Lauren a way to make this track into an 'acoustic' version with just her vocals as the other instrument (now that would be stunning). What is stunning is the way Lauren's debut single wins over the listener, you'll be hard-pressed to find a debut single released last week that hits as hard as this.

Jennifer Alvarado releases big new track, "Rock This Way"

Jennifer Alvarado has returned with a big new track, "Rock This Way", which comes hot off the heels of the successful previous single "Curious". As soon as you start the track is filled with anthemic guitar hooks, it acts as a way for Jennifer to get you into the song right away - like 5 seconds flat! Her vocals are prominent throughout the track, very soulful with a slightly country vibe to it mixed in with classic Americana tones. Of course, Jennifer is from the US, North Carolina to be specific and it's wonderful to hear her accent in the song, it really helps to bring it to life. All in all "Rock This Way" sounds like it needs to be performed at sundown when the weather is a bit dusty and with the wind blowing - You can already picture it! So drop down below to listen to "Rock This Way" in all it's glory, it's a great example of blending two very US-centric genres (Country and Americana) and making it work! Jennifer Alvarado · Ro
