NUMBER 1

BLAIR WEST - Rabbit Holes

New York, United States


Blair West is a singer-songwriter from NYC and her latest release 'Rabbit Holes' is immensely beautiful! I absolutely adore the lyrics throughout the entirety of the song, I love the metaphor behind the lyrics and song title and I admire the story being told. This track gives us a delicate love story that is graceful and uplifting. The song starts with a soft strum of the acoustic guitar giving us a slow sway with the sweet melody that carries the song through to the sustained ending. The vocals are angelic with a warm embrace making this a perfect wedding song!

My Cousin's Girlfriend’s House is a Pop-Punk band that is giving us totally nostalgic vibes of the early noughties, reminding me of classic Pop-Punk tunes from bands such as 'Bowling For Soup', 'Simple Plan' 'Sum 41' and 'Blink 182'. The latest release 'Going' is an enthusiastic and empowering bop-along song! Starting with a personal touch from the band adding a little humour 'Hold on, I lost count' before the deep yet delightful vocals approach along with the sharp strumming guitar riff before the happy hard-hitting drumbeat that comes in making you want to headbang and bounce about! I love this!


 

NUMBER 3

ALI GEORGE - Little Prophecy

Bath, United Kingdom



Ali George is a British singer-songwriter who has blessed us with an ever-so-endearing tune titled 'Little Prophecy'. George has made an impression with his intricate finger-style guitar technique which is absolutely phenomenal and thus pairs perfectly with deep, beautiful, and heartfelt vocals, his songwriting inspires from deep personal love songs and his short stories that he has formed into music. His guitar playing is incredibly melodic yet sweetly humble while strumming with Folk tones, long reverbs and seriously smooth riffs this matching the delicate story being told within the lyrics. This is definitely being added to my Country tunes playlist!

Monroe Moon is an experimental Indie – Pop duo that has blessed us with this gorgeous tune 'Glad To Exist', this tune holds its own individuality with a dark aura yet a sparkling beat. The drum beat is simple and steady setting the pace for the song before a catchy vocal hook comes in singing 'Sha La La, Sha La La, Sha La La' which you will most definitely be singing along with, throughout the entirety of the song. The vocals are exotic, elegant, and euphoric with the lyrics being empowering and story-telling as the guitar riff is electric and edgy!

The latest single 'Feather In My Hat' starts with the drums creating an upbeat tone before the piano ever so gently approaches with delightfully sweet notes thus adding depth to the elegant piano playing. The vocals are beautiful, humble, and wholesome giving us listeners a comforting feeling, and lyrics that are so heartfelt with the descriptive imagery, a story in a song!



 

NUMBER 6

LAURA LANG - Black Sedan

Memphis, TN, United States



Laura Lang is an extremely talented adolescent singer-songwriter and most importantly a vivid storyteller. Lang transforms her inner dialogue and experiences with those around her into heartfelt and personal lyrics with gorgeous vocals that hold passion and impact. Lang's latest release 'Black Sedan' starts with an incredibly light and bouncy guitar riff as Lang's vocals are sweetly smooth in a low register. The sound of the slide guitar adds a mystical effect which I absolutely adore as the drumbeat is relaxed until the big bold brilliant finish allows Lang to truly show us the truly powerful vocals she has!
