JONES – Giving It Up
(Spotify)

Indie-pop sensation JONES stuns with her new release "Giving It Up," an intoxicating re-introduction to the east-Londoner. "Giving It Up" is out now.

JONES - neé Cherie Jones-Mattis - oozes personality and elegance in equal measure. JONES was first discovered with the release of her critically acclaimed debut album, New Skin (2016), in which singles "Melt" and "Hoops" have amassed 20 million streams. Backed early on by Sam Smith, JONES made a memorable TV debut when she performed "Indulge'"on Later... With Jools Holland and has seen praise from notable publications including The Guardian, Vibe, The Line of Best Fit and more.

JONES was raised by her mother in Aldgate, London. She spent her childhood immersed in the music of Stevie Wonder and Bob Marley, while JONES' early idols included Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston. Attending a local community arts centre as a teenager provided the impetus for her to delve into songwriting.

She often performed at open mic nights as a way of building her confidence as a live performer and eventually made quite an impression on one witness who introduced her to various people in the music industry. Soon to follow was her first contract and a whirlwind of experiences, including touring and recording with HONNE, sharing a table with Tom Jones ahead of her Jools Holland performance and headlining London Omeara.

Since then, JONES has focused on mastering her ability to own any genre she turns her hand to, be it pop, rock, delicate balladry or left-of-centre R&B.

Three-and-a-half years since the release of her debut album and JONES is back and recharged with new single "Giving It Up." Effortlessly cool vocals pair well with alt-pop production, celestial synths, and catchy lyrics. Airy vocals croon "All night I'm giving it up, that's right I'm giving it up..." making for an undoubtedly catchy track. One listen and you'll have this one stuck in your head for days.

Mira Belle – Being Alone
(Spotify)

"Being Alone" is an alternative-pop song produced by prolific hip-hop producer IZAÏAH (Logic, Playboi Carti, Beast Coast), who adds his own flare by crafting heavy-hitting beats that drive the music. The song was born out of a dark place when many things coincided that led to me feeling uncharacteristically isolated. My roommate left, my relationship ended, three of my bosses quit, my job of nearly 5 years came to a close, and my therapist quit his practice. It took its emotional toll, and eventually I sat down and wrote the first line of this song, "I can feel the silence hit against my soul." It became an anthem about learning how to be alone.

Richard Berger – It’s Not Gonna Go Away
(Spotify)

A do-it-all wunderkind clearly influenced by other ‘one man band’ musicians, Richard Berger draws from from the psychedelic electronica of Kevin Parker’s Tame Impala and combines it with the soulful R&B pop of Stevie Wonder. “It’s Not Gonna Go Away” continue a winning streak dating back to 2018.

Joshua Worden, Casey Harper – Easy to Say
(Spotify)

"Joshua's music isn’t too far from Sufjan Stevens’ electro-minded sound on his The Age of Adz, incorporating smooth vocals with a reverbed percussive presence and electronic flourishes." - Obscure Sound

“Music is a sheltering rock for a variety of Joshua’s inner storms and his minimal production style reflects the intensity that he encounters in the dark. If you’re a fan of artists such as Rhye, Blood Orange, Moses Sumney and The Internet, then we recommend to add Joshua Worden to your playlists.” – Tattoo.com

"The music is light in the sense that without the ethereal synth pads and reverbed drums, the frequency-modulated noise would colour these songs dark. Worden’s musical influences are plain to hear but he’s drawing upon some strong ones – there are pads suggesting Vangelis here, a dose of Washed Out’s throb there and the bold lead lines of Tangerine Dream." – Addicted

Llynks – Like You Said You Would (Spotify)

Llynks – Like You Said You Would
(Spotify)

As an artist, Llynks aka Sara Kendall uses her haunting and introspective words to explore themes where she pushes through some of this self-doubt and gets to new highs of empowerment and self preservation. Musically, a saccharine voice and robust synths create undeniable melodies and moments that juxtapose the human connection with the noise and chatter of post-Millennial cyberpunk. Become the Root, her debut LP out June 19th, is the soundtrack for jaded e-girls and post-apocalyptic plaintives.

The gut-punching album closer “Like You Said You Would” is out today. Like much of the Llynks’ music, it has a decidedly visual element, with a distinct otherworldly/fantasy/sci-fi vibe, not unlike a favorite mixtape from a Ridley Scott replicant in Blade Runner.

Elle Noir – Blue Shadow
(Spotify)

Blue shadow is a song about how often it's hard to love every side of ourself. Our "Blue Shadow" represents everything that is in us and that we often deny. Emotions and feelings often considered negative and that we must learn to accept and love. Sadness, anger, depression, discouragement. There is nothing wrong with embracing this part of us.

Evening Elevator – Higher
(Spotify)

Evening Elevator takes you on a journey above the clouds in the video for their debut single, HIGHER. The duo, made up of songwriter Tim Segreto (Populus, Boston Sessions) and producer Dub Sonata (Jidenna, Rhymefest, Sage Francis) each released a catalog of their own work before collaborating to form Evening Elevator.

Filmed by Dub Sonata, HIGHER feels like a waking dream, allowing you to take flight over the fog-laden hills of northern California. It opens with a soothing blend of synths and strings, soon evolving into an infectious vocal melody over hard-hitting drums. The song will serve as the intro track on their forthcoming album bearing the same title, which they describe as electro-dreampop with hip-hop tendencies.
