London based newcomer Shaqdi delivers with her new single “Better”. “Better” is a follow up from her previous single “Colorless”. Shaqdi puts herself in a category of her own with her new single “Better”. The song is a mixture of a fresh R&B sound that cannot be put in any category. The song has a certain sound that has not quite been done before.
Shaqdi got her start in music at a young age, having growing up in a small town in Sweden, Shaqdi then learned how to play piano and violin at the ripe age of four. “Better” is a prime example of all the hard work she has put into her music. With Shaqdi’s soft voice, she brings a soft sound to the track.

With crashing drums and a high energy kickoff, five piece indie pop collective The Indigo Project – comprised of Joe Spink, Tony Francis, Alex Crow, Oliver Barry, and Jack Manktelow – releases their new track “As Always”. With a soundscape similar to some of our 2000s pop punk favorites, the track’s tempo changes several times, keeping its listener on their toes and anticipating the coming lines. Singing with a very debonair Leeds-specific vocalization, we’re enthralled by the band themselves and find ourselves looking forward to what’s to come.

New York-base duo Glassio – comprised of Sam R. and Charles Pinel, raised in Dubai/London and Paris, respectively – is out boasting their new single “Back For More”. And for good reason too, as the sound is both upbeat and – almost unbearably – calming at the same time. With a tempo similar to an older, more innocent, video game soundtrack, we’re engulfed into the lightweight, beautiful soundscape that Glassio has become known for. Vocals butter it up even more, giving a tranquil, pleasant cherry on top of this track that seems almost too perfect for your springtime playlist.

Currently based in London, Venetian singer-songwriter Jacopo Rossetto (IAKO, in the music world) has just debuted his first single, “Queen of Balance”. He’ll be releasing an EP by the same name, and with this first taste of his music, we can’t wait to hear more. The 22-year old artist has captured a phenomenal amount of emotion into his song, highlighted by his carefully balanced vocals and instrumentation. His title track sounds not only pure and vulnerable, but also mature. Says IAKO of his brand new song, “I wrote ‘Queen of Balance’ around this time last year, at the end of a difficult period that eventually made me lose a very important person. I’d say it’s about the acceptance of masculine vulnerability at its purest state.” It’s evident that IAKO has been able to achieve what many seek (and fail) in a debut: making a statement.
Check out “Queen of Balance” today, and keep an eye out for IAKO’s EP by the same name.

Brooklyn based Las Rosas just released their video for their single “Christa.” “Christa” opens to child-like imagery. It opens in a kids room, where they are lying on their bed wearing a “monster” suit (think “Where The Wild Things Are”). The video follows a pre-teen girl with short curly red hair who is keen to her vintage camera and has a smile for everyone she meets. The “monster” and “Christa” don’t cross paths until the end of the night when they end up in a club. One may argue that “Christa” displays no kids in this video. After all why would they be in a night club?
To me, “Christa” purposely cast kids for a specific purpose– to display the endless hope and search for young and middle age adults to find “innocent teenage love.” The garage band’s “Christa” is coming from their sophomore album Shadow By Your Side which will release on May 11th.
