My mother used to tell me that “shyness is a waste of time.” This provocative, club-ready single from UK artist Shygirl (who’s anything but) is a celebration of simply stating and taking what you want from your lover.
Evoking the best of ‘90s trip-hop, infusing it with a danceable beat, and adding top-tier production of electronic instrumental sounds — this winning track from Aussie artist Skeleten is high on vibes. Dig in and let your body sing the chorus.
Storytime! Settle in for this epic track from wildly talented singer-songwriter Ed Maverick. The artist carries all 13+ minutes of this musical journey on the strength of his expressive voice and lyrics en español. To make matters more impressive, he’s accompanied only by acoustic guitar and one hell of a love story in the video.
The kids must be alright after all. Hit play on this stellar track from The Laughing Chimes, a young four-piece out of Southeast Ohio. Evoking ‘80s jangle, ’90s britpop, and American alternative sounds in one “can't-believe-it's-brand-new” package — this track’s got us newly hopeful for the future.
Let’s end on one for your head. Tap into this meditative soundscape from electronic project Seahawks, a combined effort of three unique artists with a vision: “a heartfelt plea for more love, compassion, and understanding in a world full of division and destruction.” Amen.
