Danny Suede shares the sun-kissed new tune, "shadows on the pavement"

Bursting out from Spokane, United States, is Danny Suede, who has recently released his new track titled "shadows on the pavement". The new offering from the American singer-songwriter has already shot to the top of his most popular songs on Spotify, and I can easily tell why from the very first minute. ... a shimmering, uplifting slice of bedroom pop that feels made for sunny days. The opening sequence of the song is a delicate balance of acoustic guitar mixed with his serene vocals and a dash of electronic pulses just to get you all warmed up. For me, the fusion of bedroom pop and alternative pop sounds reminded me of an early Ed Sheeran as he was about to take over the British music scene. With that in mind, it sounds like Danny is also going in that direction. It is such an uplifting track and has brilliant shimmering moments that make this an unmistakably top pick for your Sunkissed playlists. He is an artist who is on the rise, so be sure to listen to him as soon as you...

The new single from Joe is his fifth of the year, and it starts off with a charming guitar sound before some organic percussion comes in to warm things up. ... Joe Caruso blends warm acoustic rock with Americana, Country and Latino touches for a beautifully laid-back listen. As soon as his vocals hit your ears, you know that you'll be sticking around for the long haul on this one, with the song seemingly getting better as every second goes by. There are some tremendous moments within the song, with some sliding guitars in the background later on giving you this subtle Americana vibe hidden amongst the acoustic rock-pop tones. I did appreciate the finger-picking guitars on this as well, with a slight Latino vibe, which struck a chord with me. It's certainly no more unique than other tracks within this genre, and with a back catalogue that has tens of thousands o...

Gravité Fresq unveils their new dark-pop cut, "Hypocrisy Loop."

Dublin-based project Gravité Fresq is back with their new dark pop single, "Hypocrisy Loop". It is absolutely stunning, with nostalgic synthwave moments that remind me of the 1980s scene, and even the production values on this sound rather analogue in places, giving it that extra nostalgic bite. ...

Fever Dream Kills return with the bold new song, "Gone By Sunrise"

Bursting out of the English music scene is Fever Dream Kills, and the band have recently dropped their fourth single, "Gone by Sunrise". These efforts have got them over 60,000 Spotify streams. This song is a very bold track with a charming entrance of jangly and upbeat guitar tones that are shortly followed by some captivating vocals. ... the band blend jangly indie pop with late-2000s indie-rock energy to create a seriously addictive anthem. All anchored in with some strong female tones, the track steadily builds up before bursting into a very acoustically led chorus with plenty of soaring backing vocals that sound almost like a gospel choir in places. The track does a fantastic job at blending contemporary indie pop sensibilities with a bit of that indie rock edge that a lot of people are loving these days.

[ALBUM REVIEW] Daughter - Not To Disappear

January may be the bleakest part of the year: full of post-Christmas dejection, wet and windy weather, sometimes snow and ice, and in 2016, the devastating loss of some of the world’s most innovative geniuses. With the bleak days of winter in mind, many would argue that it is the perfect month for a Daughter resurgence. Debut If You Leave went hand-in-hand with a permeating dark, fragile, and ghostly nature about the arrangements. However, despite the obvious continuation of the underlying sense of sadness, the subtlety and serenity of the first album is not brought through to 2016. Rather, new album Not To Disappear is much bigger; bringing with it extra dynamism and ambition. Nestling away after touring their 2013 debut, the indie folk trio have certainly taken their time about this, their second and superior record. Whilst cleverly maintaining the gripping melancholy and gossamer constructions that we fell in love with, the band have pushed away from the “frozen hearts” Elena Tonra ...

Following on from the EP earlier in the year titled "I Want It More Than Anyone", London-based artist Horologica strikes it big with yet another solid effort.

Built upon an acoustic guitar with dream-pop elements flowing throughout, it blends in a lot of folk-led moments as well and is certainly a dreamy offering that helps you drift off into its majesty. It is no wonder the song is called "Siren Lullaby", as you will feel so at ease when listening to it, almost like a lullaby. Recorded alongside a Grammy-winning production team, "Siren Lullaby" is an enchanting effort from an artist who is surely going to be strikingly big if this is the kind of content that they are dropping. Having started off from a piano riff ...

Lark shares her impressive debut single, "Residue"

San Diego singer-songwriter Lark shines on her debut single, "Residue". Considering this is her debut single, it is quite the charmer. Opening with a delicate acoustic guitar tone before her gorgeous vocals come in, you will be won over within 20 seconds of the song starting. ... a delicate, guitar-led debut packed with raw emotion and cinematic Americana charm. The track is very folk-leaning and has elements that draw inspiration from her influences, such as Gracie Abrams and Taylor Swift. Produced by Abbey Loren, it is a great entrance for Lark to come onto the music scene with. It blends folk tones with cinematic Americana and country vibes whilst keeping the track true to itself and keeping it raw, capturing beauty all along the way. As I mentioned earlier, this is her debut single, and with zero monthly listeners at the time of writing, I am sure that this is going to be in the tens of thousands in no time. Be sure to follow her on all social channels so you do not miss ...

Phoenix, Arizona-based singer-songwriter Kate Solmara has recently revealed her strong debut single, "Ease". The debut single from Kate is a solid introduction to an artist who sounds like she is going to be going places. ... a breathtaking folk-pop debut with the soaring polish of an established superstar. The easy-listening folk-pop track blends indie tones with dynamic soft rock elements, all intertwined with organic sounds. I absolutely loved the cascading sounds before the initial chorus, and as this song consistently builds, you will feel more acquainted with Kate's incredible vocal tones. When the song reaches its peak at the halfway point, I had to just double-check to see if she was not an artist who already has millions of plays.
