Introducing a chance encounter, a collaborative project between two new acquaintances – the singer-songwriter partner of a renowned doctor, and a cancer researcher she met as his plus-one at a medical conference.

I’ll Be Your Dog is a rather simple but stunning folk-country single, something like Micah P Hinson, but perhaps more joyful – a mellow groove, a colourful vibe, and a beautifully interesting voice. The single is self-defined as an ode to Bob Dylan’s Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid, and welcomes an Americana set-up that quickly transports you to the centre of the live performance.

Genre-fusion and quirky storytelling, a hearty dose of intention and some stylish free-playing – an eclectic album, inspired by all things jazz, rock, country. Paul Cann’s latest album feels like an uninhibited ode to creative freedom, and celebrates the joy of that from start to finish.

Promising a strong and organic groove, short and snappy lines that naturally linger in the mind, and a sense of old-school raspy vocal play that quickly draws comparisons with classic Americana – artist and songwriter VANNGO delivers an earworm of an anthem, for the simple but catchy HEARTBREAKER USA.

Catchy old-school Americana vibes and anthemic rap vocals intertwine, for a fresh take on the Old Town Road fusion of genres – Malak Shalom captures a sense of original storytelling with a brilliant earworm of a hook. The Hip Hop Wrangler employs a strong groove, organic guitar and trap rhythms, with canned vocals and a rhythmic chorus, all drawing focus to the creative flair and freedom of the artist’s approach to modern music.
