“"Boo Seeka" dropped another hit in the Dream Pop scene and it may have addictive (side)effects! The track starts shaking the ground right after you press play. Uplifting lyrics, effect driven vocals and wide electronic background patterns for your full listening pleasure.”

‘There’s a miracle out there for the finding” – it’s the kind of lyric that sends goosebumps down the spine, particularly after the last two years of hardship and trauma. Finish What You Started is actually quite a motivational track, and not in a forceful way – gentle, persuasive and inspirational, Boo encourages the listener to continue the work, to continue chasing dreams despite how hard it can get. Evocative of early 2010s indies Two Door Cinema Club and The Strokes, smooth electronic beats mesh flawlessly with guitar and Boo’s stunning falsetto. It’s easy to imagine Finish What You Started playing on the stereo in the car on the way down to the beach during an Aussie summer.

“If you prefer colourful music with energetic mood, you should check this bright Synthpop creation. "Render Ghosts" have dynamically entered the scene and their sound can stick out of the ordinary. Just listen and enjoy.”

Render Ghosts (London/Utrecht) are a new trio making effortlessly melodic alternative pop.
Their life-affirming sound brings together three wildly different musical personalities for the first time:
Tamara van Esch is well known in the Netherlands as a singer-songwriter singing in Dutch, and as a multi-instrumentalist in bands such as Jo Goes Hunting, Drive Like Maria and Kim Janssen.
Tom O.C Wilson is a classically-trained composer of chamber pop songs, whose music is described as simultaneously playful, complex and joyous.
Iain Chambers is a sound artist who uses buildings as instruments, famously turning London’s Tower Bridge into a massive resonating chamber. He’s also a founder member of the experimental electronic ensemble, Langham Research Centre.
Render Ghosts debuted in December 2021 with Eye Rhyme, an 80s-tinged anthem introducing their trademark blend of crystalline synths and infectious melodies. It was immediately picked up by Amazing Radio, Fresh on the Net and BBC 6 Music Introducing, and named by blogger Allen Richards as the best debut single of 2021.
The follow-up, Keeping My Number, is if anything even catchier, built around a chorus inspired by the commercial pop the band were listening to while crafting their first album (Dua Lipa, Alex Hosking, Jax Jones).
Lyrically, the song is sassy but bittersweet, with the narrator struggling to make her ex see that their relationship is truly over.

In August 2020, my solo album «You, Me & Everything Else» was released. This was an important first step towards musical independence after the Lovebugs had decided to indefinitely put their activities on hold two years earlier. My goal was to avoid the familiar, to explore my stylistic range and attempt unexpected collaborations. A risk that was rewarded. The album was well received by critics and fans alike and even made it into the top 10 of the official Swiss charts.
I would have loved to perform the new material on stage. However, when it became apparent that the pandemic would thwart these plans, I continued working on songs instead and started looking for the right kind of producer. When musician and sound designer Grégoire Pasquier (Shuttle) from Fribourg heard the demo recordings for the first time, it was ‘love at first synthesizer’, so to speak. Sound files and digital sketches were sent back and forth, and soon the first song resulted from this intimate, long-distance partnership: «It’s Serious», released at the end of 2021 and instantly chosen by SRF3 as their ‘Song of the Day’.
While the lockdown shook the foundation of my private life, writing new songs gave me stability. Undeterred I continued to play with my tunes and released four more singles in the first half of 2021: «Slave to the Algorithm, «Over My Head», «Luv U» and «Speakeasy». All these were published on my very own label «Some of My Best Friends Are Songs», and indeed they felt like best friends in the lonely everyday life of the pandemic. As a response to the isolation, Grégoires sound design became more and more open and epic the deeper he dove into it. Carried by analogue drum machines and other electronic equipment from the early 1980s, the new songs found its way to the ears and hearts of fans, blogs and radios alike.
Inspired by the positive feedback and the prospect of performing my favorite songs in a one-off concert in 2022 on the occasion of my 50th birthday, it soon became clear that my journey shouldn’t stop with these five songs. The singles «Were We Every So Young?» and «When We Were Friends», the sensitive «Alphabet of Love», the pulsating title track and three other ‘best friends’ now complete the album, which will be released on April 22 under the title «Unglued». An album that came together while everything else came unglued.

Artist said about this song:
"I wrote this song about my rejection of casual sex culture and the insecurities and fears I've struggled with when dating as someone who places a lot of meaning on sex. I'd rather be alone and wait for someone who truly loves me then be used to warm someone's bed in short!"

“Even with such strong vocals, the instrumental part is not lost on the background. On the contrary, the rhythm and mood of Synthpop clearly make their hit! Positive work, with melodic lyrics and excellent performance.”
“Даже при наличии такого молодого и сильного вокалиста инструментальная составляющаяся не теряется на его фоне. Наоборот — ритм и настроение synthpop отчётливо дают понять, что перед нами хит! Энергичная, позитивная, с очень мелодичными текстами песня и с великолепным исполнением!”
