Greek/Norwegian artist Amanda Tenfjord today announces her debut album will be released on October 21st via Propeller Recordings (Sløtface, Highasakite). The announcement coincides with the release of new single "All In" today and follows recently released single "Plans" and her 2022 Eurovision Song Contest entry for Greece "Die Together", where she placed 8th overall - Greece's best result for 10 years in the competition.

New single "All In" was co-written with esteemed fellow Norwegian artists dePresno, SKAAR and Norwegian Grammy winning Bjørn Helge Gammelsæter (the latter also on production duties) at Ocean Sound, a studio situated on the remote Norwegian island Giske - recently used by artists such as Arcade Fire, Sampha and Sigrid.

Befitting the summer months, "All In" is a joyous, synth-touched pop song oozing with positivity, with a skyscraper-sized chorus to boot, as she sings: "Don’t care about the others down the road / They got nothing on us / I’m all in".

Speaking more on the themes behind the new song, Amanda said:

“All In is about falling in love - but when the timing isn't perfect. When all your friends are telling you it’s a bad idea, but all your senses are telling you to go for it. It’s about trusting your gut, taking a leap of faith and going all in. I’ve been looking forward to releasing this song as my last few singles have been more about the sad and melancholic parts of a relationship. This one is definitely about the more fun and exciting part, and I’m looking very much forward to performing it live."

There wasn’t a eureka moment in Amanda Tenfjord’s life when she realised she was musical. She just always has been. The 25-year-old Greek/Norwegian singer began playing piano aged five, and from then it was almost destined in some capacity that she would live her life in music. Tenfjord's confidence gives way to sing-a-long pop hooks, while her modesty grounds each song with a deep and resonant humanity.

Her’s is pop music that makes you feel alive. To date, Amanda Tenfjord has released two EP's, 'Miss The Way You Missed Me' and debut EP 'First Impression', widely praised by publications including The FADER, i-D, NME, amongst others.

(Video)

“How often did you notice that the phone in your hands overshadowed your whole life and bright sunlight no longer pleases you as before. Familiar feeling? So the new single from -rosie is trying to reach your hearts, picking up the key to the locked doors. Open them.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)

“Как часто вы замечали за собой, что телефон в ваших руках затмил всю вашу жизнь и яркий солнечный свет больше не радует вас как прежде. Знакомое чувство? Вот и новый сингл от -rosie- старается достучаться до ваших сердец, подбирая ключ к запертым дверям. Откройте их.”

Rosie Darling is the kind of anomaly who pushes pop music forward by uncompromisingly embracing her own artistic impulses and following them to unprecedented heights. “I really believe less is more,” she exclaims. “I let the music speak for itself as the lyrics say something important for me. I don’t do things to get quick validation or views. If your art is authentic, it will reach its potential without having to think about it. I’m telling stories and putting myself into the lyrics.”

But, it’s also why the Boston-born and Los Angeles-based artist has effectively emerged as a phenomenon with millions of streams and widespread praise courtesy of FLAUNT, Wonderland, EARMILK, PopMatters, and many more. Rosie’s debut EP Coping introduced the world to her powerful, raw vocals and heart-on-her-sleeve writing. Reminiscent of her peers (Chelsea Cutler, Julia Michaels, & Olivia Rodrigo) yet uniquely herself, Darling has amassed legions of fans who were “smoking cheap pre-rolls and listening to LANY” alongside her. These fans boosted title track – “Coping” – Top 20 on Spotify’s Global Viral chart and tallying over 40 million streams to date and “establishing Rosie as a newcomer to watch in 2021” (House of Solo).

Subshine – Chelsea
(Spotify)

“The internal energy emanating from the melody is impressive, so lively, juicy and voluminous. Excellent work from the Indie POP project -subshine-, in it, musical matter itself acquires new sounds, which were so difficult synthesized by the author. The conclusion is a great job and a real standard of your genre!” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)

“Впечатляет внутренняя энергия, исходящая от мелодии, такая живая, сочная и объёмная. Прекрасная работа от Indie Pop проекта -Subshine-, в нём сама музыкальная материя приобретает новые звуки, которые с таким трудом были синтезированы автором. Вывод — отличная работа и настоящий эталон своего жанра!”

-Nagamag.com

Subshine expands, Chelsea is a magnificent, atmospheric and convincing track from the renowned pop artist. Where other artists soften up throughout their careers, Ole Gunnar Gundersen has chosen to go in a slightly different direction. This is attitude and lots of punch. A dark modern powerballade, with pounding 808’s and stacked distortion guitars. Raw and honest lyrics about keeping a straight face while hurting.

Lexie Carroll – if I built my home from paper
(Spotify)

“A heartbreaking track with such a childish, naive, but from this in the most sincere voice -Lexie Carroll-. Immediately return to such a distant but not forgotten childhood, where the main gift for Christmas was the warm arms of parents and a bunch of gifts for Christmas. Very kind, warm piano track combined with Indie Pop. Thank you, -lexie-.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)

“Душещипательный трек с таким детским, наивным, но от этого максимально искренним голосом -Lexie Carroll-. Сразу возвращаешься в такое далёкое, но не позабытое детство, где главным подарком на рождество были тёплые объятия родителей и куча подарков на рождество. Очень добрый, тёплый фортепианный трек в сочетании с Indie Pop. Спасибо, -Lexie-.”

-Nagamag.com

After the successes of her recent EP ‘when the sun came up’, released in April 2022, 17 year old singer-songwriter Lexie Carroll returns with her new track ‘if i built my home from paper’, out today.

‘If i built my home from paper’ is a heart-warming track full of childhood references from familiar fairytale stories, with Lexie’s natural craft for songwriting conjuring up fond and beautiful images. Singing about the tenderness and comfort of that one special relationship and how reassuring that can be, the track begins with simple piano chords, building to celestial strings and atmospheric percussion. Its lyrics, instrumentation, relatable story and vivid imagery make for a hugely impactful song - one which grows in meaning and affection with each play.

"I wrote if I built my home from paper for my mum, but I think the song is applicable to any sort of relationship where someone can make the world feel safer and help to untangle some of the chaos with you. It's a very special thing to have, I feel very lucky and I hope everyone who listens has that person whether they're family or someone else."

With her 2022 single releases and EP having won strong support from Jess Iszatt at BBC Introducing London and Spotify (New Music Friday, Fresh Finds, Our Generation and Lost in the Woods playlists), as well as numerous radio plays, including BBC Radio 2, and good press support (Clash, Line of the Best Fit, Asbo Magazine), Lexie is fast gaining momentum.

Scott Quinn – Sad Song
(Spotify)

“No matter how sad the song is represented by the author himself, it is easy to catch the beautiful, very kind and delicate melody in it, on the waves of which the vocals of -scott quinn-, like a lonely boat in the quiet waters of the silent ocean, elegantly swaying.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)

“Какой бы грустной не была представлена песня самим автором, в ней легко уловить прекрасную, очень добрую и нежную мелодию, на волнах которой элегантно покачивается вокал -Scott Quinn-, словно одинокая лодка в тихих водах безмолвного океана.”

-Nagamag.com

Yorkshire born, London-based singer/songwriter Scott Quinn today releases new single "Sad Song" - the first new music to be heard following Quinn's 2021 EP 'BETTER FOR ME' which featured the TikTok viral track "Holding On To Letting Go".

Inspired by pop-songwriting staples such as Julia Michaels, benny blanco and FINNEAS, Scott is without doubt making a case to follow in their star-studded footsteps. Already penning tracks for acts including BTS, Zara Larsson and Keith Urban amongst others, the release of new single "Sad Song" today signals the release of a new EP, due for release later this year via V2 Records / Venice.

Co-produced by German production duo SAIN, "Sad Song" was written about the process of entering into a new relationship while you’re still healing from your previous one - and sees Scott weaving classic balladry with rich, modern production flourishes.

Scott had the following to say on the themes behind the new single:

"I personally write songs retrospectively, and I guess I use them as a form of therapy and a way of healing. This song is essentially an explanation as to why I’m not writing songs about my current relationship. I only really write sad songs and so it’s kind of a hidden gesture of love by saying ‘I don’t want to write a Sad Song about you…’.

I also think it’s important to understand the journey of grief, acceptance and letting go. The second verse sums that up for me… ‘I don’t write songs about them in the hope that they hear me, no. It’s not about now but back then it hurt and I guess I’m still grieving’. I’m over those past relationships but the body and mind take a long time to heal the wounds and get stronger."
