Catch Sydney-based artist's St. Humain's "Fever Vibe" on his new pop track about the "early sparks of a relationship - It's that universal feeling, one which tugs on everybody's unique experiences with their own flames." Definitely one to add to the summer playlist!
Last month Denver based artist Thoreau released his fantastic debut EP "Reflections". Known also for his future bass productions, Thoreau has branched out into hip hop and shown off his talented vocals. He said of closing track "Faults":
"Ever feel like your relationship is an awkward slow dance, where you and your partner are constantly tripping over each other and struggling to find a balance that makes everyone happy? 'Faults' is my most honest attempt at telling that story. The song begins with an unapologetic tone, defending the petty jabs we take at each other, and evolves to explain that we only want to feel acknowledged. My goal was to try to depict how an actual argument goes down in with my girl, and when all is said and done, I feel painfully guilty, even unworthy of what I'm truly blessed with. I urge everybody to remember that the shallow conflicts we find ourselves in are nothing to crushing loneliness we could have instead. Tell her you love her, because we don't deserve anything at all." [...]
Clara Mae has released her debut EP "Sorry For Writing All The Songs About You", written with longtime collaborator Cassandra Ströberg. "We were sitting at a coffee shop in Stockholm, and we realized we kept talking about the same doomed relationship," Clara recalls. "That's when we came up with the title. We planned out all of the stages of a relationship and it resulted in six very personal songs... the title track ties it all together and explains that writing these songs was something I had to do to move on." The title track is a beautiful ballad led by Clara's heartfelt, honest vocals.
Prismo's recent single "Solo" is an electronic rock banger in the style of Imagine Dragons and Grandson. Heavy distorted bass punctuates the verses under Prismo's matching distorted vocals. Guitar riffs lead the topline between vocals, and wide fuzzy synths heat up the chorus. Prismo says "I spent the past several months pouring my heart and soul into writing these new songs, and I'm so stoked to share them with the #prismob! This is the first single from the next chapter of Prismo; it's a statement of my evolution and the passion behind my project." [...]

LA-based pop artist Fiona Grey has released a brilliant new EP titled "Cult Classic". She sings about fame, vice, love and the crazy life it can be being an idol. "What I do is put myself out there in a larger than life way. At my shows fans approach me to tell me that the performance was bigger than the venue, I love that. I believe that the message in my songs deserve to be heard in a brash and big way" says Fiona.
Canadian singer Maggie Szabo's new single "Only Human" is an uplifting retro synthpop track about each of us being the same at heart, as she sings "We're only human, just looking for somebody, looking for somebody to love." She often uses her music to conquer social injustice, such as on prior single "Don't Give Up" written in support of trans youth. She wrote "I hope to be one of the many more people in this world that lets them know they are loved." Only Human fits perfectly alongside tracks from Betty Who and Allie X on the soundtrack for recent Netflix movie "Sierra Burgess is a Loser".
Producers Lookas and Nolan van Lith have teamed up for their epic new track "Dystopia". The track opens with sirens in the background, warning us of what's to come. Cinematic melody, a breakbeat and build take us to an almighty, earth-shattering drop.
