viana, “wine & roses”

viana, “wine & roses”

“Wine & Roses” might be alt-pop musician Viana‘s debut single, but that fact isn’t something you could tell from the production quality of the song. The carefully woven lyrics over beds of instrumentals and a hard bass line make you want to dance and slow things down all at once.

Viana’s vocals bring out an edge that make us feel even more powerful as the song goes on. We’re big fans, and cannot wait to see how her career unfolds in the coming months and years!

rainne, “dirty little dream”

rainne, “dirty little dream”

What mood did you wake up in this morning? Because we guarantee pop outfit RAINNE‘s new track “Dirty Little Dream” will completely transform you. (Bold claim. We know.) We’ve got the exclusive premiere of the new track, which is replete with the sultry vocals of bandmates Annie Dingwall
and Justin Klunk and an attitude we know you can’t resist. Admits Annie of the track:

Seductive, dark, and clever, ‘Dirty Little Dream’ explores the possibility that your wildest dreams may not be what you’d expect. At first glance, it’s a seductive song engulfed in passion, but upon further listening, maybe that’s only part of the story.

So press “play,” and jam into the dark hours of this beautiful summer day.

jacqueline harvey, “came around”

jacqueline harvey, “came around”

We’re talking about reminiscing a lot, and it’s no different with Jacqueline Harvey‘s new single “Came Around”. The pop singer utilizes her signature sultry vocals to address a past love interest, as the instrumentals usher in a dance floor vibe. It’s truly a sonic delight to experience, and we think you’ll agree.

loveclub, “gone”

loveclub, “gone”

When you’re reminiscing on a past relationship, you can experience a whirlwind of emotion. That’s what Vancouver-born, Los-Angeles-based singer-songwriter/producer Loveclub addresses in his new track “Gone”. While we are guided through the emotional turbulence of wanting a past love to have turned out differently, we are given time to reflect on our own relationships – past, present, and future – with the backdrop of a gorgeous soundscape. Loveclub really seems to play with dissonance in a way that we can only describe as hypnotic, and we’re falling more in love with each listen to this track.

kayta, “dress later”

kayta, “dress later”

On Friday, Montreal-based singer-songwriter KAYTA released her sultry new track “Dress Later”. This time around, she has taken a gorgeous R&B spin on a total pop dream, and we’re falling more in love with each listen. It’s time to “let yourself” sink into something soothing and invigorating at the same time. Enjoy!

olivia nelson, “cherry chapstick”

olivia nelson, “cherry chapstick”

London-based singer-songwriter Olivia Nelson is setting the tone for your summertime romance with her new track “Cherry Chapstick”. Smooth and soulful from the first chords, we can only imagine this track being played while dancing or walking around a bar in slow motion on a sweltering summer evening. (Seriously, can you not imagine several scenarios for the perfect music video as you enjoy Nelson’s sultry vocals?) Check it out below, and let us know what you think on Facebook!

elm, “fear”

elm, “fear”

Elm has dropped their electrifying debut single “Fear”, and we’re worshipping the small glimpses of sun we’re getting this week with it. The song itself addresses the acceptance of oneself and the group of people you surround yourself with, while the soundscape makes you feel like you’re floating in giant donuts on the shores of a deep, blue ocean. (Or probably also just dancing in a club until 2am. Both just as luxurious.)

be the bear, “mermaid”

be the bear, “mermaid”

A twinkling intro locks in the mood, as Swedish pop artist Be The Bear‘s (Christina Wehage) ethereal vocals hit the track before the bass sets in. A dance track to its core, the new track “Mermaid” has more than just a bit of energy to it. And it’s layered, as it was originally written for Wehage’s friend who was struggling with their mental health. As we start to really hone in on the importance of providing support and care to all people, and normalizing a broader discussion about mental health, this inspired art keeps our heads above water. But at 1:02, you’d better be ready to groove.

wrinkles, “thunderstorm”

wrinkles, “thunderstorm”

Indie rock band Wrinkles puts an emphasis on carefree fun in the music video for their latest single, “Thunderstorm.” In the depths of a Montana winter, we see the five-piece band put their house to the test as they gather every blanket, pillow, tool, and instrument possible to create some sort of musical fortress. The video has a very exciting, TV-sitcom vibe that focuses on who Wrinkles is as a band and highlights their talent as well as their obvious camaraderie. While this is a lighthearted video, it shows the importance of a band’s strong connection not only as musicians, but as friends. As a result, the video – directed by Kendall Rock – perfectly matches the upbeat and catchy qualities of the track.

“Thunderstorm” is the first single off Wrinkles’ sophomore album Other Days, which comes out on August 14th.  Check out the music video, and keep up with the band here.
