Kristine Bratlie – Under My Skin
(Spotify)

“The voice of -Kristine Bratlie- is a real phenomenon. When she sings, it seems that her voice soars above the clouds. Her single -Under My Skin- is a real spiritual escape for listeners.”

“Голос -Kristine Bratlie- настоящий феномен. Когда она поёт, кажется, что её голос реет над облаками. Её сингл -Under My Skin- стал настоящим душевным убежищем всем поклонникам её творчества. ”

-Nagamag.com

Under my skin is a singer songwriter love ballad. It`s expression is quiet but intense and longing, and is all about the deeper moment, the NOW that leaves you with all lights burned out and the power of devotion. The naked character through the acoustic use of instruments, piano, guitars and cello, deepens the expression even more.

Flo Gallop – Can’t Be Friends
(Spotify)

“Our favourite "Flo Gallop" strikes again with "Can't Be Friends". Communicative way of singing, lyrics of meaning and the friendly sound is always present. You won't resist to listen more than once, especially if you're an Electro Pop addict.”

-Nagamag.com

You already know Flo Gallop. You’ve already heard her voice, it’s a pitch-perfect, beautiful, arm-around-the-shoulders version of the one in your head. Flo is the voice we all need, She’s the beat behind our breakdowns and the word-perfect poetry of our bounce-back pick-ups. South-east London born and bred, Flo was raised around music, her dad made songwriting feel like breathing. Without it she would choke. So, she sat, scribbling words, diarising an everyday life through the musicality and soul of a natural artist that would eventually emerge, fully formed, as a friend in your ears.

Flo doesn’t want to change the world, just get your attention. She lives to perform, yet she feels, writes and lives like an antidote to this world of filtered fakery and ‘pick me!’ poses. Honesty is the only policy here, even when it hurts.

The fun and flirtatious "Can't Be Friends" narrates falling for the wrong person and happily overlooking the consequences. The infectious song sparkles with colourful melodies, a move-inducing beat and Gallop's distinct vocal delivery. The songwriter shares, "This song came from another deluded boy crush and was based around the nerves of seeing someone when you know you shouldn’t and that they’re not good for you, but also knowing you really want to, attempting to make someone jealous and just generally being up to no good."

All of Flo’s music is food for the heart and words for the wise. This is a writer of depth, already a collaborator with established giants Tom Fuller and Will Thomson but, rather than stand on their shoulders, she has hands on the wheel.

Being a young woman in your 20s isn’t always easy today, but Flo only sees ‘good and great’ in her life and her work, and you will too. So, if you’re looking for Bad then head for Neverland, but if you want songs to fly, cry and die for then don’t just run with the herd- go with the Flo.

Julian Brown – Walls
(Spotify)

“The very fresh release of a young skillful artist is here. Soft guitar notes combined with the artist's silvery voice. Also noticeable are the dymanic changes in this fantastic mix that hold you there like a magnet. ”

-Nagamag.com

‘Walls’ embodies the feeling of loving someone paired with uncertainty and hope. It talks about when the timing isn’t right, although the person might be. And even though you’re not with that person at the time, there may be a moment in the future where the relationship makes more sense. Underlined by a catchy guitar riff, ‘Walls’ has an uplifting, almost euphoric arrangement, that creates contrast to its rather thoughtful lyrics and combines, the two controversial elements, hope and bitterness.

Sean O’Reilly – My Song (Harper’s Mix)
(Spotify)

“-My Song- composition is rich in one of the oldest instruments, the symbol of Ireland - Harp. Fluctuations in silence and voluminous vocals of -Sean O'Reilly- make even the experienced listener to hold his breath from such quality.”

“Композиция -My Song- насыщена одним из древнейших инструментов, символом Ирландии - Арфой. Колебания в тишине томного голоса -Sean O'Reilly- заставит даже искушённого слушателя затаить своё дыхание.”

-Nagamag.com

JPson – It’s Not Easy
(Spotify)

“Who wants to be away from beloved persons? Sometimes we have to walk alone and it's not easy. Words of emotion from a song that gives courage and hope when we are far from someone like our soulmate.”

-Nagamag.com

Shaped by the two oceans on the shores of South Africa, JPson has ridden the wave of life to Europe and defined a musical style that can best be described as "Fresh Folk". Music that let’s you open up to the groove of the moment, whilst forgetting the troubles of daily life.

Having taught himself to play the guitar on the beaches of Cape Town, South Africa, JPson spent his youth surfing the Atlantic Ocean and exploring vast musical territory, yielding his very own sunbaked infusion of Folk & Roots music. Through his lyrics JPson shares the essence of life that drives him around the world and the lessons he learns whilst traveling. Not only is his music incredibly uplifting but his rhythms and beats will get you grooving in a festive and unifying spirit, bound to inspire reflection and new connection.

JPson left South Africa right after school to go discover his European roots inheritated from his Swiss father. What seemed like a 10- month joy trip away from home turned into a 10-year journey around Europe, which JP refers to as his University of life. Through his travels he realised on a regular basis how he would constantly find peace within lyrics and melodies. Even though the life of a wary traveler can sometimes be extremely tiring, he would often gather warmth and support from the music he listened to and find guidance in the music he created.

Guidance that taught him how to open up, to be happy and live life to the fullest as it is a wonderful gift that should be cherished with every single breath.

Deer Fellow – Let It Breathe
(Spotify)

“"Let it breathe" is the recent work of a known Folk duo. Feel the romantic air coming from the instrumental notes. Find the absolute balance in the charming singing of Alyssa Kelly.”

-Nagamag.com

“Let it Breathe” is an ode to repressed memories. Despite trying to push it away, the shame of the subject’s past choices still lingers. The regret of words unsaid can no longer be silenced. Set to guitar, piano, and violin, this is the last song of our debut EP, Words Unsaid.

https://instagram.com/deerfellow

Deer Fellow is an indie folk-pop duo with a “new wave soul twist.” Based out of Austin, bandmates Matt Salois (guitar, vocals) and Alyssa Kelly (violin, vocals, piano) met at an open mic and were quick to collaborate. Fast forward to present day and coupledom, the two have built a cross-genre sound that “pulls you in right away, stirring romance and broken hearts.”


The duo's vocal harmonies and unique guitar-violin blends have landed them features on KUTX 98.9 Radio, CBS Austin, and EASTside Magazine. Often compared to the likes of Andrew Bird and The Civil Wars, Deer Fellow's debut EP, Words Unsaid, presents a collection of authentic songwriting and soundscapes that “surround and warm the soul." From live showcases with Austin greats to virtual festivals alongside such artists as Grammy winner John Paul White, their style and substance have garnered attention within the indie music industry.


Fans describe their live performance as an experience that “gives that warm tingly feeling, like taking a bath with a glass of champagne.” The group currently plays all around Austin and plans to go on tour in the near future.

Forest May – All the Time
(Spotify)

“Many of us usually suffer from anxiety and are victims of an endless rush. Hopefully there is some nice music to take you back to normal. We suggest this piece with the lovely singing of Forest May and the soothing guitar chords that can cure your soul.”

-Nagamag.com

Artist shared with us few more words behind her project and this song:

"...I have played flute since I was a little girl, played in orchestras, and then in indie bands. I sang large choirs for many years at McGill University. I have been a yoga teacher for 20 years and started Modo Yoga (formerly Moksha Yoga) to help connect peace work with activism. I started writing songs to help people relax in the yoga classes I was teaching. I found that people that had a really hard time being still were able to relax when I sang a song. For years I would just sing a capella, then while teaching in Toronto I started learning guitar as an exchange with an indie musician - he got free yoga, and I got free guitar lessons.

Many years ago while doing an MA in Buddhist Studies with Peter Harvey I wrote this song - Ko-an as a way to share the teaching of self inquiry in yoga classes.

I finally released this song a couple of weeks ago and have been amazed at the response. It has been such a brutal time for everyone that finding ways to relax is so helpful. So - I'm hoping to send this song out as a way to do just that - give people a little break in their day to remember their inner peace, and inner wisdom, always residing, always present.

I'm very inspired by Joni Mitchell. Although I am classically trained in flute (I play primarily bass flute now which is what I played in the band Little Scream for many years), I'm mostly self taught on guitar. I don't know what key I'm playing in on guitar, and I can't just pick up a guitar and play with others the way I can on the flute. It's inspiring to me that Joni also didn't ever know what key she was playing in, and yet her songs are pretty much perfect!

I'm also really influenced by Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, and then more indie artists like Joanna Newsom, Blonde Redhead, I loved Fleet Foxes' 1st album,

...Here's part of a post I wrote about the song:

It takes a village to raise a song.

Ten years ago I started a little music project called Forest May. I played a bit in tiny indie rock venues but mostly I played and play these songs to quiet bodies in Savasana. They’re quiet songs. Savasana means corpse pose. It’s a practice in dying - letting go - releasing and relinquishing control and arising from the posture re-born. Either that or it involves planning grocery lists in a prone position - really depends on the day. Ha.

I recorded all of the Forest May bed tracks 7 years ago. Then life happened..."
