NUMBER 2

Jesabel - This Small Town

Jacksonville, FL, United States


Jesabel's new single, "This Small Town," is like a fine casserole mashing up front porch storytelling with electronic pop-folk instrumentation. The tune is based on her personal perspective growing up in a small town in Georgia. The twists and turns of trying to figure yourself out in a place you don't quite belong or understand. Couldn't wait to leave. Yet, now can't wait to go back. I'm sure many of us can relate to this. She may have traveled far living in places like Milan, Italy and Miami, FL, later to eventually settle in Jacksonville, FL but "This Small Town" will always be home. Funny, isn't it?

Escapades - Old (Merciful Sessions)

Manchester, United Kingdom


Escapades have released their live studio recording of their set favourite 'Old', with help from the guys over at Merciful Sound in Liverpool. Having had this track in their setlist for as long as they can remember, they are incredibly proud of the live version. Groovy, and featuring co-lead vocalists’ Liv and Ollie’s trademark harmonies, the track takes listeners through the pining motions of young love, and the torment of having to watch love grow old. At nearly 5 minutes, the huge track has been a favourite of the foursome for quite some time; now, releasing this version through Merciful Sound, Escapades have been able to pin down the final edition of ‘Old’, and it will stay firmly in their live set. Dreamy and glittering guitars, massive drums, on stage swagger — Escapades are certainly going all out for this release. North West 4-piece Escapades have escaped from the confines of generic 'guitar music' to show their own take on indie-pop. Go click the link below to hear it!



 

NUMBER 7

jaxsen - impose

Louisville, KY, United States


jaxsen id s vocalist, instrumentalist and producer from Louisville, United States. His main influences range from Dandelion Hands, Mount Eerie/The Microphones to Lorde. His latest release entitled 'impose' was made from start to finish in his bedroom. "impose" is about feeling bad for feeling bad. It's the fear of your own negative thoughts finding its way to exit your body and weighing down everyone around you. The song is a plea for forgiveness. When asked about the narrative behind the track jaxsen made the following statement: "The song was first started at the beginning of quarantine. My brother and I would go to Chick-fi-a every week together, and it was always a good time. But one day I was feeling a bit down in the dumps and I knew he could tell. And I felt bad for making someone else have to deal with my problems. Then the song sat a bit dormant for a year until I went into an intensive outpatient program in November 2021. With a new found drive, I was able to finish the song."




 

NUMBER 8

Cael Dadian - This is Your Sign

San Diego, United States


Credit - Matt Brambila

“This is Your Sign” is a point a to b journey of a track with a slower mellow multi genre inspired first half and a high energy poppier second half. You’ll land somewhere different than you began and this is certainly a track to sink your teeth into. Thematically, it’s about urging that person to reach back out and despite any doubts they may have. When asked who the team were behind the production Cael Dadian replied " I wrote, produced, and engineered the track." This is amazing! Love seeing multitalented creatives out there!

Belgrade, Serbia

Bones in Butter sent us a cover version of 'Beyond The Sea'. It was really nice to hear a classic track with a hint of modern. When asked about the track we were informed that "This song is our ode to the French Chanson, sung in English and performed by a Serbian band :) The French original "La mer" was written 75 years ago by Charles Trenet. "Beyond the Sea" is the title of the English version. Jack Lawrence wrote the lyrics and Bobby Darin popularized the song in 1959." Defo check this one out!












 

NUMBER 10

SJ Talbot - Millisecond

Dublin, Ireland


Credit - SJ Talbot

Dublin-based SJ Talbot has been ruthless in pursuit of a tight and sweet pop sound. Her third single ‘Millisecond’ is a gorgeously heartfelt ballad which moves the heart with the feet, and marks her as one of the most dangerously efficient new pop artists to emerge this year in Ireland and the UK. Her third release starts like a racecar, confident claps give way to her carefully trained vocals. Smooth drums and a lovely tacit come in just at the right time, the chorus hitting before you have to wait for it. Talbot’s vocals are, as always, laced with decadent harmony. Electric guitar courses through the track in the chorus, imbuing it with a feeling of delirium: “If you call again[…] I’ll be there in just a millisecond.”
