Hinds say of their new track:
When we wrote ‘The Club’ and first listened to it we couldn’t believe that we hadn’t [written] it before and that we hadn’t been listening to it for years. A friend said that it is more Hinds than Hinds themselves hahah. That’s why we chose putting it as the track 1 of the album. From now on it’s our presentation card.

As if we didn’t make enough of a scene with the incredible uplifting support around the world during yesterday’s International Women’s Day festivities, there is more support on the way with today’s release of LEVV‘s “Hands on Me”. Inspired by her past struggles with harassment and the #MeToo movement, the track lends comfort to victims of sexual harassment.
LEVV’s vocals are smooth as honey, leaving an Imogen Heap-esque impression on the soul. The tranquil, electronic backtrack makes the song incredible addictive to listen to, changing the narrative to one of acceptance, beauty, and strength. We’re impressed by her harrowing story, and know that other listeners will find solace in it as well.
Keep up with LEVV here.

Toronto-based solo artist For Esmé has just released her brand new single, “Doubtmouth”, off her forthcoming record, Righteous Woman. Filled with the musings of the singer and a shaking off of tradition, Esmé brings a refreshingly unapologetic message with this single. She says that “Doubtmouth” is about “the doubt that chokes us, and the labels that shrink us, to find a voice and body that refuses to be quieted.” The track addresses these hard-hitting ideas in a fantastically organized production of music; Esmé has hit the nail on the head.
Says Esmé on her upcoming album: “My forthcoming LP, Righteous Woman, is a feminist awakening and excavation of the voices within. As I worked to uncover my own internalized misogyny and to interrogate the things I repress and overthink, I simultaneously researched”. Her single is already giving us a taste of her For Esmé’s upcoming LP, Righteous Woman will be released May 25th.

Australian producer and house artist Husky dropped his new beat “Can’t Shake It Off.” He’s not alone on the track though. He has help from X-Factor artist Nat Conway and the song already has been remixed Alaia & Gallo and Mark Di Meo.
I’m a big fan of house music or as I like to call it “catwalk music.” What really makes a house track for me, is the tempo whether it be the consistency or inconsistency of the beats, the vocals (if there are any), and the ability to make you feel relaxed or even “oh so fab.” Husky executes all these things with the assistance of Nat Conway’s sweet but sassy vocals. It is a song that will make you want to strut, a song that will make you want to roll your windows down, and a song that I’ve already played three times back-to-back (oops!).
Keep up with Husky here.

Today, The Naked and Famous release their album A Still Heart. The album is a collection of acoustic sounds, much different from their previous work with a slightly more simple and intimate sound. The 10 track album is amazing from beginning to end, the stripped tracks giving the listeners a more personal listen to a band we all know and love.
The Naked and Famous really turn back time with A Still Heart. The album is absolute gold, and may even sound better than the original recordings. Upon listening to the album in its entirety, it may seem like you are listening to the songs for the very first time, that is how raw they are. The group may be revisiting their old material, but it definitely helps you see them in a new light. The album is well worth the listen due to the sound that has never been heard before from the band. The album will surely leave listeners hoping for more music like this in the future.

Electronic ZHU artist teams up with Tame Impala on new track “My Life.” With the reputation of the names attached to this new track, here’s no doubt that this collaboration will be a major one at that. The audio for “My Life” is set to a simple black car cruising on the freeway, but it’s enough to draw you in and keep you there. Not to mention Tame Impala’s soft vocals and ZHU’s beats with jazzy undertones gives for the track’s “chill vibe.”
