seawaves, “her”

With their truly modern and personal sound, Manchester duo SEAWAVES has dropped their new single, “Her”.
Comprised of vocals from Si Van Brussel and co-writer Daniel Benjamin, SEAWAVES has been truly been making moves in the music world, even having their music used in films and commercials by Disney, Sony, The Olympics, and many other big name companies/brands. It’s no wonder; SEAWAVES is something special and very of-the-moment. Benjamin says, “Our music is very personal to us, which is why it’s only us two creating it. Our songs are pretty much us in a form people can connect to.” Following the release of their debut LP, The Motion Picture, SEAWAVES’ second record, The Soundtrack, is due for release this spring. It is the first record in a three-part series, and if “Her” is indication, The Soundtrack will be phenomenal.

New single “Her” is a great example of the energy and authenticity that Brussel and Benjamin put into their music. With an exhilarating beat and uplifting lyrics, “Her” captures the moving, living soundscape that SEAWAVES creates. We can’t wait for The Soundtrack, but until then, “Her” will be on repeat.

elegant slims “not human”

“Not Human” is the latest track by electro-pop newcomers, Elegant Slims. The song starts off with a forceful electronic beat, followed by creeping vocals which are sometimes distorted claiming “You’re not human anymore, you’re not human anymore.” The track is futuristic, moody, and taunting making for a song that you just want to scream in the car with, after you turn up your bass all the way up of course. The New York based group describes the single as “…the darkness we know exists in the world.” “Not Human” is definitely worth checking out.

alexx mack turns heads with “wine in bed”

alexx mack turns heads with “wine in bed”

Indie pop artist Alexx Mack just released her latest single “Wine in Bed.” In the artists own words “Wine in Bed is about me learning that my coping methods were adding toxicity in my life and relationships,” says Mack. “I would drink and cross my fingers to feel better and almost every time I’d end up making another mistake. I thought that every sign was pointing to me needing to be alone, the truth was that I was pushing everything good in my life away.” Alexx Mack’s voice is haunting, but the message of the song even more so. Lyrics like “I’ll just smoke another cigarette, drink wine in bed, tell another lie I can’t forget” are intense and touching. Mack’s voice and execution almost makes “Wine in Bed” sound like a ballad, but hear it through and you’ll realize it’s an itching cry for help.

Toronto born riding R&B artist Sway Clarke has been marked as questionable one of the most unique and diverse up and coming artist in this generation of musicians.

Him new release, “Drugs” captures this talent in 3 minutes and 48 seconds that will keep the listeners hanging on every moment.

From humble beginnings, this new artist has brought the best of many worlds together since his debut release in 2013. Not only are those who have stumbled upon his music fascinated with this style, but they are eagerly awaiting the release of, “Drugs” which will drop Thursday March 22.

bronze whale, “warm”

bronze whale, “warm”

The electronic/DJ duo Bronze Whale has recently released a new track titled “Warm.”  Bronze Whale is known for their beats and mad DJ skills, but Benny of the duo tackles the vocals on this track.  He does a great job too, as the vocals are subtle yet pleasant enough to give the listener the ability to equally pay attention to the beats and Benji’s singing.  The title “Warm” is the perfect title for this track. It is a roll your windows down song, a looking at your crush song, an intro to a romantic song.  In short, this track really gives off a “feel good vibe” that you just can’t fight.

Also, be sure to catch up with the duo on their website and their Facebook page for their latest music and shows.

 

andro, “liar”

Liverpool-born, London-based artist Andro is presenting a beautiful, unique, and soul-filled new sound for the world to hear. He has just released a third single, “Liar”. While currently a solo artist, Andro also spent three years touring with electro-funk group Jungle. He’s previously released “When The Alarm Calls” and “Afterlife”, along with self-directed videos for both tracks. As his name suggests, Andro (Greek for “man” or “masculine”) presents himself with an androgynous side, challenging stereotypes, and we are here for it.

Andro says of his new single:

I wrote Liar, totally premeditating a bond I knew would fail. And I was also grieving. It echoes the period when you’re yearning for nothing but intimacy and you feel you’ve been ladened with a lie after the breakdown of a ‘companionship’.

“Liar” is a yearning, emotive track that clearly displays not only Andro’s vocal control, but his creativity as well. Reminiscent of artists like Sampha and even the legendary Prince himself, Andro has an evident grasp of his sound and we can’t wait to see what he puts out in the future.

saltwater sun releases “the wire”

saltwater sun releases “the wire”

Saltwater Sun just graced us after a hiatus with their latest release “The Wire.” “The Wire” is the bands eighth single following up their Flawed EP released in 2016. The vocals are creepily haunting with an alternative rock beat. My favorite lyric is “…I can feel it in the fire, when it’s coming down to the wire.”  “The Wire” is an angsty track yet manages to find balance with a “cool rock vibe.”  “The Wire” is definitely a track that I believe worth listening to.

matt gresham, “home”

Coming so far from his X-Factor roots back in 2013, Matt Gresham is hitting the ground running with his new single “Home”. “Home” is a song about getting out of a situation that you are no longer comfortable in, to find a place where you belong.  The overall message of the song is a satisfying message, showing what it is like to overcome your past and take on a new journey.

Along with the single, Matt Gresham has released a video for the song, which is very captivating. It shows Gresham searching all over for a new walk of life with his bag on his shoulder, snapshots of the city, forests, and beach setting the tone. The idea that there is freedom to go anywhere you want is palpable, beautiful in its visual.
