IT'S ALL INDIE

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.

Hailing from New York City is Laji George, who is the frontman of Pseutopia. He has recently delivered a fantastically powerful new solo track titled "Washed Away". The strong new cut focuses a lot on his stunning vocals, which remind me in places of Chris Cornell. This is the fifth new single to be released by him on Spotify and is also a track lifted off his upcoming album, "Out of Line". ... a slow-burning, Cornell-esque powerhouse built on dark guitars and raw emotion. If you love raw emotions, somewhat dark guitar tones, and bold percussion, then this new offering, "Washed Away", is something you are going to be sinking into with every second that passes by. Admittedly, the track is probably at its peak around the midway point, all the way through to the end, as it has got quite a slow-burning start. But once you reach that halfway point, you are rewarded with some charismatic sounds that will have you lining up his previous tracks in your queue. This...

Growing up with new music in the late 2000s, I was exposed to a lot of vibrant and upbeat indie pop songs, and this reminds me of something from that era—something that, for example, The Ting Tings would have put out. It has got clean basslines, smatters of synths, strong female vocals, and an upbeat drive that will just have you moving your body in all shapes.

Bursting out of the York music scene is Rosso Tierney, and the new song from the multi-instrumentalist is a high-octane alternative rock song with plenty of grit. ... a high-octane, cinematic rock anthem packed with mid-noughties nostalgia, fiery guitars, and explosive energy. You can really hear how powerful the track is way before it fully gets going. The intro alone reminds me of those songs that you would hear in the mid-noughties on the FIFA soundtracks. As the seconds tick by, the track will eventually erupt at the 40-second mark into a stunning chorus with soaring vocals, powerful drum patterns, and guitars that sound like they can set fire to your ears. Produced by Soundgraves of Asking Alexandria, Rosso has certainly made a track that is as cinematic as it is anthemic.

Her vocals have not diminished whatsoever over the year, sounding just as good as when we last checked in with her. It's a proper rip-roaring rock song with strong guitar solos and sharp, garish rock hooks, showcasing her and her band's sound wonderfully.

Based out of Nottingham in England is five-piece Spiral Orbit recently revealed their strong new track titled "Isolation Zone". The new cut from the band is their second of the year, and the intro alone was enough for me to give the song a chance, as it reminds me a lot of New Order and The Killers, especially when the synths come in after a few seconds. ... a synth-charged, '80s-inspired rock anthem that turns pandemic uncertainty into an uplifting, high-energy payoff. With the aforementioned similarities to New Order, this track really does have a big late '80s synth-rock feel to it, with the vocal hooks also sounding like they have been cherry-picked from that era. Add in some more '70s glam rock-sounding synths and what you have here is a track that is incredibly nostalgic and yet feels as fresh as anything else out in the world right now.
