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...

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 ...

Joe Caruso returns with his charming new song, "Waiting on the Wind"

Washington, DC-based artist Joe Caruso is back with his delightfully addictive track, "Waiting on the Wind." 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...

Horologica drops the stunning new single, "Siren Lullaby"

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. The new track is titled "Siren Lullaby" and is a strong vocal-driven track that highlights the rawness and emotions within the vocals, especially. ... an enchanting, folk-tinted dream-pop lullaby that wraps raw emotion in pure majesty. 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 ...

M & J drops the infectious new single, "she's COSMIC light"

Hailing from Bondi, Australia, alt-pop duo M & J have crafted a delightful and enchanting new tune, "she's COSMIC light." It is a smooth blend of vibrant acoustic pop and has you heavily invested in the song from the get-go. ... a euphoric, genre-blending burst of upbeat pop that's impossible not to play on repeat. The beat on this is absolutely sensational, and I knew well within the first minute that this was a track that I was going to be playing over and over again. Infused with a dynamic electropop groove with euphoric guitar bursts and an infectious drumbeat, this is certainly a sonic track that bleeds over genres and mixes them together into one heck of an upbeat affair. This is yet another act from Australia that deserves to be recognised the world over. It's a downright masterpiece of upbeat music, even though it's sitting at 2.5 minutes long. I'm sure this is going to be a song that will be played for years to come. Want us to hear your m...

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. ... Gravité Fresq channel the analogue glow of the 1980s into an addictive slice of dark pop. I also loved the vocals on this, reminding me a lot of Pet Shop Boys in places, but with even more direct tones. The groove and drumbeat on this is really addictive, and it shows that this band is steering their way into many more people's heads. With now seven tracks out in the world, this act is certainly on fire with the content that they are dropping. Be sure to follow them on all social channels while you can, and be sure to be one of the very few people to say, "I knew them before they were big." Want us to hear your music?

Adria Dinev shares her new EDM single, "You Said Forever"

London-based singer-songwriter Adria Dinev is back with a new single, "You Said Forever". The latest track is her first since 2025's "Freedom" came out, and this new cut opens up with a very cinematic sequence before her infectious vocals come in. ... a festival-ready electronic banger that blends cinematic drama with nostalgia-tinged 2010s synth hooks. When the track drops, it steadily builds back up before a powerful drum beat comes in, eventually turning into a full-on EDM banger. The chorus reminds me a lot of Avicii and those artists who were also quite prominent in the 2010s. Produced alongside Peruvian producer Paul Cora, the track pairs Dinev’s striking female vocals with dynamic and infectious tones. With a collection of singles stretching back to 2010, she is certainly an artist who has been working hard on her sound. If you like what you hear, be sure to check this out and delve into her back catalogue, as there is a great collection of tracks and gen...

Camens return with a solid new cut, "Anything To Win"

Stoke-on-Trent indie rockers Camens have sensationally returned with a vengeance on "Anything To Win". Following on from their epic debut album, "Work/Life/Balance", the band went back into hiding to write some new tunes, and the first single to be released is titled just below. ... an arena-ready indie belter packed with grit, raw drive, and anthemic UK rock swagger. It is a straight-up indie rock belter at three minutes long, giving you an easy gateway into their sound. Trust me—considering I have been listening to this band since their early days back in 2017 and 2018, I can safely say that this is one of their strongest cuts to date. With the band slowly refining their sound with every release, it is no wonder that they have landed on this rather cinematic, arena-filling track. Vocally, this is awesome and once again highlights Scott's vocal range. With grit, raw hooks, and a serious drive behind it, Camens are certainly one of the UK's most resilient an...

[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 ...
