January 2019 has been an absolute gem of a month. We’ve had some insanely inspirational moments with new videos being released left and right, and have decided to share some of our absolute favs right here! Our soundtrack isn’t comprised of every video released this month, this collection just barely grazes the top of the pile. But we’re pretty jazzed about these ones, and wanted to provide a fun distraction from real life before February kicks in. Featuring David Duchovny, Hippo Campus, PRETTYMUCH, Dream Ritual, Kelsy Karter, Taliwhoah, Lily & Madeleine, Baby Goth, and more.

If you’re looking for a topical track, Davis, California-based pop musician Lillian Frances has a new track titled “Super Bowl Party”, and it’s jam packed with relevant social commentary that should fuel your fire. If you’re into tongue in cheek humor and honesty – and especially if you’re sick of Tom Brady to some extent – then this song is right up your alley. Fair warning, though, there is some language. So perhaps check it out before you agree to play it at your party for the big game. (What? Sports ball?)

Portland-based groove folk project Lili St Anne – comprised of Elizabeth Fagan, Jason Miller, and Sam Arnold – has created a sound that is soulful, soothing, and intensely ethereal all at the same time. Throughout the duration of their track “Wolves”, we fall more and more in love with Fagan’s vocal range, as she tugs – no rips – at all of our emotions with her words. The video that accompanies the track mirrors its disposition, dark with hints of glitter that bring with them that wonderful voice.

Toronto-based four piece Wild Rivers – comprised of Khalid Yassein, Devan Glover, Andrew Oliver, and Julien Laferriere – is bringing us back to our roots with their robust and enormously alluring sound. New track “Moving Target” is a love song in its own respect, though addresses heartache at its core instead of the puppy love stage. As our female vocalist gut-wrenchingly ponders, “Are we out of touch?” the lyrics begin to unravel in a real and poignant way for us all.
If you’re looking for a new ballad to belt out on your drive home, this is the one.

We almost didn’t think it could get any better for Kat Saul after she released her poetically titled track “Nick Miller”, but she’s increased the WOW factor with brand new track “Middle Name”, out today. The Nashville-based alt-pop artist captivates with her robust, raspy vocals, as the song peels out into a party track, mellifluous and fun in its disposition. As she implores her love interest to “get on a middle name basis,” we’re rooting for her. This song will be perfect for all of your future flirtatious evenings, and equally belongs on your “getting ready to go out” and “new party” soundtracks.
Enjoy.

Quebec City-based musical duo Fjord released their latest track “My Body So Calm” last Friday, and we’ve been smooth jammin’ to it all weekend. The song is both calming and invigorating in its existence, the instrumentals so lush and vibrant, but presented in a way that is soothing. It’s almost impossible to understand the mood it has the ability to sway you into unless you experience the track for yourself. So, you’re welcome, world. Experience it.

We might have to wait until April 5th to hear feminist synth-pop artist Birch‘s femme.one in its entirety, but a piece of the puzzle has been unveiled with her latest track “Spelling Lessons”. A moderate tempo established, Michelle Birsky’s vocals hit the track in an almost angelic way. Because of this, the track envelopes us in the audible version of a warm embrace, despite its poignant lyrics highlighting the sad reality that is a woman’s fear of speaking out in today’s society. Sobering, yet light, this song presents a beautiful and enigmatic contrast that will sit with us for quite some time.

London-based singer/songwriter Phildel possesses a voice that is absolutely magnetic, a trait especially noticeable in her new track “Electric Heights”, released today. Let her lightweight vocals set the tone for your day, creating an ambiance that is absolutely splendid, despite moments of melancholia. It’s absolutely entrancing, and definitely worth a few listens.

I think this is a really good moment for women in music and overall entertainment right now. The climate is really conscious, women are speaking up and advocating for themselves through various forms of art and media. I am so inspired by all of the female pop recording artists right now. They’re all strong, socially aware and convey a similar message of women’s empowerment. They all support each other and I too feel the desire to support fellow female artists. I made this playlist to listen to when I want to feel inspired and a sense of community in the music business. All of these different artists show strength in their lyrics and vocal performances even if it’s through moments of vulnerability, enjoy.
