“Step By Step” – Sia
Suddenly it feels like summer again. Sia is “so in love” in this upbeat new track.
Overgrown – Ivy Sole
Queer rapper-singer Ivy Sole released her debut LP Overgrown this week and—if the cover art is any indication—it feels earthy, raw, and real. Kinda like Ivy herself.
“Come Home” – Pip Blom
Guitars! Indie rock band Pip Blom does not disappoint with their newest single “Come Home,” with lead singer Blom’s vocals amplifying the moody yet up-beat track.
“Bottled Up” – Dinah Jane ft. Ty Dolla $ign and Marc E. Bassy
One of our favorite Fifth Harmonizers debut single just dropped, and you better believe it’s going to be on everyone’s party playlists as she teams up with Ty Dolla $ign and Marc E. Bassy.
“Since The Day I Was Born” – lostboycrow
If you haven’t gotten into lostboycrow yet, now is your chance to start with his new single “Since The Day I Was Born.” The wistful melody and nostalgic lyrics are preparing me for sweater weather.
“Loyal To Me” – Nina Nesbitt (Luca Schreiner Remix)
Scottish singer-songwriter dropped the remix of “Loyal To Me,” amplifying her breathy vocals with Luca Schreiner’s electric beats, this female empowerment anthem that you’ll want to blast at the next girls night in.
“Superior Emotion” – AlunaGeorge ft. Cautious Clay
AlunaGeorge and Cautious Clay team up for a dreamy melody and telling lyrics about love, a messy kind of love that we all can’t get enough of but know deep down we don’t need.
BY THE SUN – Emily Hackett
Brimming with warm vocals and a classic country vibe, Emily Hackett’s new EP “By the Sun” will make you wish it was summertime all over again.
“Complicity” – Celia Palli
Barcelona-born Celia Palli’s new single “Complicity” is a bewitching tune that you’ll want to play all weekend. This sensual tune is the first single off her new album. She explained that in Spanish “complicity” is a good word: “If one can sense complicity between two lovers, it is seen as a compliment. I asked Nashlyn to write the lyrics with me and we used the connotations that this word has in English to help us describe the deep connection in the relationship I sing about.”
Acadie : Raw – Allysha Joy
If you love a gorgeous, soulful voice—which, come on, of course you do—you’ll love Alysha Joy and her newly released album Acadie : Raw. Joy’s classic R&B sound and captivating lyrics is a much appreciated addition to the growing list of up and coming young R&B artists.
“Guiding Light” – Mumford and Sons
We can always count on the British band to give us what we didn’t even know we needed—a customarily invigorating single “Guiding Light.” They even announced their new album, Delta, will drop in November to boots.
