Where there are many big beats & thick, retro bass-lines & riffs, there’s also so much that is not purely for the party – songwriting is an art form & Totally Awesome Summer have treated it as such.

Not since the days of Incubus & System Of a Down has a band taken to such unpredictable, deeper than deep, observational & reflective songwriting, particularly not alongside of such entrancing & skillful musicianship.
Dion’s voice drives the song’s melody & underlying sentiments in a perfectly genuine & fitting way. It’s a song from the heart, with good intentions, and this shows at every step.
The song introduces a certain lightness to the room, a laid-back ambiance and a set of ideas that allow audiences to switch of from the stresses of daily life.
Mack’s sense of character comes through more than ever on this release. He throws himself into the moment, offering fearlessness & an original sounding voice & style that work well in making sure you know who he is.
P.A.T is no stranger to self-belief & self-empowerment – his name is an acronym for Potential, Ambition, Talented, and this track speaks volumes for that sentiment & holds close to the creative’s own truth.
Elmont are back this summer with the perfect pop-rock single, bringing you that nostalgic aura along with a fresh touch of optimism & good vibes for the months ahead.
The production quality & the addictive nature of that bass-line grab a hold of you more & more. It’s a mighty backdrop that works its magic pretty swiftly.
Aidan as an artist has a distinctly expressive, considerate way with creative pursuits. His musicianship impresses throughout in a modest & endearing way. Worth a listen during any quiet night in.
H.I.M is fearless when it comes to performance, he lays bare his intimate truths & desires with both his lyrics & his vocal style. That sense of character & confidence is inherent in his approach.
John Deere Green, a Joe Diffie original, comes through with a colourful & family-friendly ambiance – an organic & joyful way to let the story within shine brightly.
This self-belief & chasing your dreams, separating yourself from the crowd or from what people seem to think of you, runs deep within the song & within the Janelle Nucum sound in general.
