Hamburg’s Chris Flyke rebuilds the neon arena with another full-length album of originals crafted with style and care alike.
Big beats and the blissfully nostalgic embrace of melodic synths and multiple layers of colour – Coolmowee brings back the dance-pop weight and warmth of a simpler era, with a series of catchy releases.
Introducing an artistically refreshing project of various styles and moments – Matthew Heller leads with identity and strength of songwriting combined, throughout the emotive deep-dive that is Maybe My Love Was Just Right.
The One makes fine use of shock factor increasingly throughout its lifespan, evolving from the love song to something else entirely as we realise the sheer eccentrics of Steve, the Anxious Rapper.
Slow-burning electro-pop of delicate expression and topical relevance – singer and songwriter jake from the timeline brings together comedy and conceptual depth throughout a joyful then unsettling 5g.
A fascinating, subtly beautiful album, with a defiant level of identity about it.
Creative is the key, the track showcasing strength of ability in both the unorthodox intricacies and the sheer weight and immersive energy of the drops.
Really well-crafted, a voice that’s in tune with the mood and concept, and a musicality that pays into the same goal.
“Sometimes I have dreams with songs. It’s rare but when it happens I can hear the full band, production, it’s a pretty cool moment. Trying to record it half-asleep when you wake up and capture the production, though, is a whole other task!”
Beautifully interesting, perfectly crafted and timed – a fine example of artistry and professionalism uniting for the true weight and warmth of effective audio escapism.
Introducing a refreshing take on intimate, colourful and catchy alternative pop, a softly guitar-kissed offering from an increasingly likeable and genuinely talented Kallie Rock.
