Beautifully crafted, unique in both set-up & concept, and precisely the kind of alternative, organic pop hit we could all benefit from right about now.
Pop
A fascinating songwriter, by all accounts, Maria rolls with the natural artistry and intention of each song, not confined by genre or structure or expectation.
Pairing organic guitar with a live drum sound & fragments of voice, The Hunter goes on to take full advantage of poetic metaphor & emotive songwriting in a bold & beautiful way.
Focused on taking full advantage of the chance to use your voice, For The People takes a soulful and funk-kissed route towards motivating people to take action and vote.
Introducing a beautifully complex arrangment with a blissfully engaging sense of progression, Private Seemore drive with a masterful command of the space within which the music exists for this powerful new single.
A classic pop set-up, a twist of beach-side vibes, and a story-line loaded with imagery and scene-setting.
There’s a certain authenticity to Flora’s delivery, her lyrics, and the persona presented in the video – it doesn’t feel like a performance, it feels like a genuine walk through contemplation, angst & uncertainty.
An addictive RnB track with a contemporary finish, strong vocals – up front & personal yet still gentle in nature; in keeping with the uncertainty & realisation of the lyrics.
Immediately contrasting softly reverb-kissed guitar with punk-pop-like, high energy vocal call-outs, Yesterday goes on to bring in elements of emo-rap & contemporary pop alike throughout its deeply intimate, honest portrayal of love.
Bringing together the weight of hip hop with the lightness & multi-coloured optimism of pop, this is one we can expect to hear repeatedly on the scene over the coming weeks.
“Music has always been an incredible outlet for me, so I combined my love of singing with my outlet of writing and the rest is history I suppose.”
Alaska & Aurora have mastered the art of the space in which the song exists. Add in sublime vocals, poignant lyrics, striking imagery, and organic musical progressions that blissfully lighten the weight of the world, and this album proves an absolute highlight from the year so far.
