“I want to create a space in music where time moves differently. I want to give comfort even in uncomfortable themes or emotions, so that the music is a place where other people who relate to these feelings and ideas can go and feel that comfort too.”
Songwriter
Less than two weeks until the big day, Christmas is approaching at pace, and here we have the third instalment of One World One Christmas – just in time to light up the celebrations, as we get everything ready for December 25th.
Colorado based-singer and songwriter Stephen Forster is set to release his latest conceptual project. The new EP Man Deluxe features the singles Can’t Get Enough, and Hot Honey, and introduces the fictional character of Blake Wood to explore queer expression, relationships, and experiences.
With a classic rock and roll sound as ballsy as its artwork, singer and songwriter Walter Miller brings an edge of pop character and charm to the scene, with the fierce riffs and massive anthemic chorus of Basic Instinct.
The album title is on point, the comfort of melody and acceptance, crafted under a blanket of responsibility and grown-up references that are absolutely not for the younger listeners. PJ Pajamas strikes a fine balance, and these songs are a pleasure to dive into, time and time again.
Lush songwriting and equally ethereal, colourful and consuming production. Raymnd captures a fine sense of escapism and story, with the natural embrace of Godspeed & Goodbye.
Bringing serenity to the apparent chaos of a traveling lifestyle, the subtle warmth and harmonised beauty of Irène Schrader’s trilingual EP ECLIPSE is deeply enchanting and calming to let play.
Great songwriting, good vibes – a kind of careful fusion of pop-rock energy, synthpop brightness, and intimate, even delicate singer-songwriter warmth. Peter DiMaggio impresses and connects, with the unique and modest but timeless Fly Away.
Creative originality intrigues and connects, captivates in a refreshing way – a project of stories both mysterious and poetic. Liz Davinci captures an air of abstract contemplation, with the brand new album Materia Prima.
From the Vienna-based songwriter who brought us Dream On, Finally Home For Christmas is a welcomed twist of indie realism and power this Christmas. Benjamin Andrews sets the scene well, a timeless tale reimagined with an air of alternative piano-rock and a mighty rising energy.
“The one consistent theme in human civilization has been progress towards more automated processes, and the people that felt left behind by that, having to adapt to the new world.”
Based out of Bath in the UK, home of the very first songwriting MA degree course, Francesca Tamellini brings an edge of individuality and honest charm back to indie pop. Her long-form melodies, unfiltered vocal styling, the raw sound and simple pairing of piano and lyric, all points towards a sense of genuine expression and freedom at the helm.
