Norwegian natives Great News, recently released their new LP Wonderfault which attributes to “the imperfect being something wonderful” say the band. Wonderfault brought us their latest single “You’re Mine.” The track starts off upbeat in an reminiscent 80’s fashion. Not only are the instrumentals amazing but the lyric “Oh I’m in your mind, controlling the way you see” had me smiling mischievously from cheek to cheek. “
You’re Mine” is tilting on the border of “oh that’s so sweet, he really likes them!” and “I have you and I want you.” The single is nothing but shy, and I definitely recommend it, especially when your latest infatuation drops into your lap.

Following the success of his first EP, Songs in D, Sam Himself has dropped his new single, “Nobody”, which will appear on his forthcoming sophomore EP. Though born in Switzerland, Sam Himself is now based in New York City, and wrote “Nobody” about his experiences in a big city that can easily swallow you up. Utilizing the very on-trend tactic of genre-mixing, Sam scores a great track with “Nobody” on many levels. While on the surface level it’s a bluesy rock song, “Nobody” also contains nods to modern synth use and nostalgic crooning vocals.
Sam says of the single: “The best and worst part about moving to New York City is realizing that nobody has been waiting for you here. The apple is plenty big without you, and unless you come up with a pretty good reason, New York doesn’t care. ‘Nobody’ is about that crushing, eye-opening and ultimately liberating experience.”
If you’re as much in love with “Nobody” as we are, make sure to check out more by Sam Himself and keep an eye out for his upcoming EP!

Middle Eastern born singer Ruchir takes the R&B route with his new track “Heartbreaker”, a song that you can dance to and enjoy the lyrical content at the same time. A song about a heartbreaker, Ruchir sings about someone leaving him high and dry. “Heartbreaker” has some Blackbear vibes to it with Ruchir’s twist. The alleged villain breaks the singer’s heart on the dance floor and leaves him in pieces. A little bit of Spanish towards the end of the song adds some fun flavor to the mix.
The song is not only great, but it is a piece that really shows what Ruchir is about as an artist.

Even more impressive is the video that was created accompany this new release. No doubt Mia LJ has been hard at work in order to gain the experience that she so desperately desires.
Ever since her childhood, Mia LJ has been obsessed with music, and was inspired by music legends Jimi Hendricks and Lenny Kravitz. She also found solace in plucking the six strings on her guitar as she grew up surrounded by a rich supply of soul. When asked in an interview where she finds inspiration for her music she responded, “When it comes to writing music, I am not as inspired by my past as I am by now or the future. Lyrically, words just spill out of me. Occasionally, I use memories of frustration and lust as inspiration when writing about my past experiences. From a more subconscious perspective, self-prophesying lyrics are my favorite. They come with much ease as watching dreams go from my head to reality is incredibly invigorating.” Now that she has built this solid foundation of talent and inspired works, surly there is nowhere to go but up.
