Song of the Day: Be Great – Loladre (ft. Pope)

Laura Dreyfuss – aka LOLADRE – has brought her very intoxicating fusion of indie pop and electro debut single into today’s spotlight, entitled ‘Be Great’, featuring the alluring vocals from Pope.

Dreyfuss is also a Grammy Award-winning actress, who is best known for her role in Glee and as a Broadway actress in Dear Evan Hansen.

Co-produced by James Adam Shelley from American Authors, ‘Be Great’ is destined to be a summer anthem and will, no doubt, add some serious credibility to her impressive CV. Check it out below:

New Track: Hate – Nicki Knightz

East London rapper NICKI KNIGHTZ drops lead single,  ‘HATE’, coming from her forthcoming, debut project of the same name.

Setting the tone for the forthcoming project, ‘HATE’ boasts a braggadocious bass, where the newcomer vents some home truths in what has happened in the past, and how it made her a stronger person.

‘HATE’ can be described as an anthem for every ‘misfit’ who has received hate for being different, for having a voice and, most importantly, having the courage to stand up for themselves.

So if this is the story of your life, well this bad boy production will sit very well in your collection…check it out…

Album Review: Romance – The Gloomies

THE GLOOMIES‘ latest album ‘Romance’ immediately welcomes nostalgic vibes from the eighties, glazed with a hazy layer which somewhat gives off a futuristic sound.

Comprising of ten tracks, ‘Romance’ encompasses a ray of genres, including indie rock/shoe glaze, lo-fo pop, a brief injection of funky soul (featured in fourth offering, ‘LOOPS’) and concludes with a bop rock (ish) piece through ‘It’s OK’, still obtaining that sound from the decade that provided great music (with the exception of the last track, ‘It’s OK’) along with the strong presence of the hypnotic soundscapes.

Since the release of their  dreamy/mesmerizing single ‘Space’ last November – which is included on this album – I was eagerly waiting for the duo to dish out an album…and finally, here it is! Believe me on this one, it’s definitely worth the wait.

So without further ado, listen to ‘Romance’ below:

Must Listens: Palms, Loops, Tiger, Vampire, Space
