Bre Kennedy – Thick Skin (Acoustic)
(Video)

“There is a feeling of flying above the clouds, while inside you something comes to life and blooms with scarlet flower bouquets. Music which -like the sea- lets you into its waters and sways on its waves. Chic, Indie Pop, with a charming manner of performance.”

“Возникает ощущение, будто ты взлетаешь выше облаков и внутри тебя что-то оживает и расцветает алыми букетами цветов. Музыка, которая словно море, впускает тебя в свои воды и покачивает на своих волнах. Шикарный, акустический indie pop, с очаровательной манерой исполнения.”

“Deep dark and beautiful. She captures it all so well and releases it into manifestation. A surprising heavenly voice emerges from the darkness and sheds light on the future. The steady build up of the track is executed with perfection. Its electronica with a heart and a downtempo hybrid flavor we adore. ”

-Nagamag.com

Artist said about this song:

“Lockdown. We’re writing a song, it’s nearly ready. One Sunday night and a full glass of red wine spilled on my laptop… everything is lost! ‘You will never be able to recreate that tune’ I hear. ‘Well, we’ll see’ I think to myself. Hours spent on listening back to sounds I made trying to replicate each one of them, figure out notes I jammed late at night led by my instincts and the feelings I couldn’t shake off. Finally, the song is ready. It took us a while but we didn’t give up. Let’s not give up on our dreams.”

Nadia Kamrath – Seven Steps Behind You
(Spotify)

“"Seven Steps Behind You" describes a situation where true love is, in fact, out of reach. Its violin and guitar patterns set a scene of melancholy and the heartbraking vocals can make you feel connected with the singer. Strongly impressive work.”

It opens with a haunting soundscape of lush guitar pads, baritone guitar, and heart-tugging violins. Awash in soft melancholia and elements of dream pop, indie-rock, and indie-folk, this song sonically and lyrically swims in your head.

Belot – Math
(Video)

“”Belot” is back, breaking her silence in an impressive way. Her new single follows the same rules in Pop sound, but this time is more colourful and bright too. With the addition of rich percussion and playful vocal performance, “Math” goes straight in the list of our favourites.”

-Nagamag.com

https://stem.ffm.to/harmlessfun

Belot is a 22-year-old songwriter based in London, who is about to unleash her own distinct brand of cheeky, honest, vulnerable pop music onto planet earth. After breaking through last year with her stunning efforts “Bed”, “Kiss You”, “Harmless Fun”, which found support from BBC Radio 1’s Jack Saunders, Clara Amfo & Sian Eleri and BBC Introducing, “awkward pop” pioneer Belot keeps kicking in style as she delivers the pumping new anthem “Math” HERE via Submarine Cat / Neon Gold Records.

Continuing the same rich and vibrant alt-pop direction she has curated for herself so far, “Math” is a fun and intoxicating return from an artist always looking for the next big move to make. Filled with glittering production, lively hooks, and her own mesmerizing voice at the helm, it already feels like 2022 will be her most impactful year to date.

Speaking about the new release, she said, “Math is about the struggle of not wanting a serious relationship in your youth. You are entangled with this person and you care about them, but you just can’t find it in you, to settle down quite yet.”

Brought up in North London, living with her Mum and older brother, she was surrounded by music from a young age with the likes of Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, The Beach Boys and Al Green being regularly played in the house. She’s always naturally gravitated to music, and would write songs in the bath as early as she can remember.

By the age of 8, she was teaching herself guitar in a quest to put her bath time warblings into some sort of construct. Aged 12 Belot had progressed to a laptop and recording, using Logic. Music was clearly the place she felt she could best express her emotions.

She fluked her way into the Brit School at the age of 14 and throughout her time there she started to formulate her own vision of the sort of music she wanted to make and how she wanted to be perceived as an artist.

Her musical journey continued – soaking up music of The Strokes, Phoenix, Andy Shauf, Flume, Alt J, Metronomy, early Kanye West, and the aggressive dubstep of Kill The Noise.

Belot released her debut EP, Electric Blue in the first half of 2020 just as the pandemic was beginning. Millions of streams across multiple platforms followed, while Radio 1’s Jack Saunders was a fan. Early adopters included Wonderland and The Line Of Best Fit, but this resolutely down to earth personality isn’t about to get caught up in the hype. Her upcoming EP is set to be a special moment.

“I love pop. Always have! And I’m not afraid to say it,” she exclaims. “I think for me, a pop song is something that is going to be so catchy it hurts. I’m going to wake up in the middle of the night and it’ll still be stuck in my head.”

From hereon in, at the quietest moments of the day and night, Belot is set to be your companion, shaking up your life and providing something unique, and truly addictive.

Belot will make her live debut on March 17th supporting Dora Jar at London’s Lafayette.

Estella dawn – Buzzcut

Estella dawn – Buzzcut
(Spotify)

“Estella dawn delivers a strong vocal range on this track acompanied by a tight guitar and sharp drums. A great choir backs it all up and the latin grooves and tempo, make u wanna dance all night ”

-Nagamag.com

“Chameleon daters” are people who change their appearance, style, musical taste, and even eating habits to mirror each new romantic partner. Estella Dawn, a constant observer, puts this theorem to good use in her most recent single “Buzzcut”.

“I think as a women, we tend to do this more than men - we are conditioned to believe we have to shrink, re-adjust and mold ourselves to satiate the male gaze. ”There are so many products telling us how we should look, feel and smell, and countless more movies and shows telling us how we should act and behave. In our quest to find this perfect partner I think we can often end up compromising a lot of what makes us unique and special.

I wanted to flip that narrative on its head with “Buzzcut”. This song is about holding your shape when embarking on a new relationship, an encouragement to “stay true to your own authentic flare.” To have someone be so enthralled with you that they would adjust themselves to better suit what they thought you wanted.

“Buzzcut” is also the first single release from her highly anticipated full length album due out later this year. Having already released 17 singles since 2020 this album is the next step up, blending a cohesive mix of live musical arrangements, pop sensibilities and Estella’s relatable, mature lyrics and Impressive vocal skills. Imagine SIA and Taylor Swift on a writing and recording retreat. There will be a steady release of singles from the album to wet your pallet and keep you anticipating what’s next.
