Zoey Tess is carving out her own pathway in Dance Pop, and with plenty of potential for remix.
An indie rock anthem of nostalgic intensity and light yet passionate vocals – International outfit Blanket Attack explode onto the scene, with Midnight Sin City.

Stylishly bringing together nostalgic alternative rock with contemporary lyrical angst and passionate vocals, Black Masses capture the moment beautifully, for the intense yet emotive So Long, Sailor.
