Song of the Day: Some Kind Of Quiet – ANDY ETC.

ANDY ETC.’s debut single, ‘Some Kind Of Quiet’, is a hazy pop ballad with heartfelt lyrics with highly emotive melody. In style of mellow artists such as Joji, James Blake, Sampha and Jeremy Zucker, the song is somewhat a lullaby for his girlfriend who has trouble sleeping.

He further explains of his single: “I think many people can relate to having a hard time finding peace of mind when the lights go out and you are alone with your thoughts. The criterion for success in the song is not necessarily falling asleep, but to just finding some sort of peace in each other’s arms.”

Hailing from Denmark, ANDY ETC. was the frontman for the Danish Sony-signed pop duo De Dødelige, who particularly made a name for themselves on Danish radio. Since then, he has written a string of songs other artists, been No. 1 on the charts in China, Korea and Japan, sold one and a half million physical CD’s in Asia and achieved more than 600 million streams world wide.

Song of the Day: I Don’t Feel Like I Used To – Louise Burns

Continuing her pursuit of warm and invigorating aesthetics that see her harness the textured allure of icons like Depeche Mode and Kate Bush, LOUISE BURNS‘ single, ‘I Don’t Feel Like I Used To’ marks another fresh and vibrant step forward for the artist at the helm. As the opening cut for her forthcoming full-length, her latest endeavour sees her channel a warm and tranquil vibe, perfectly elevated by her own captivating vocal performance throughout.

Speaking of the single, she said, “This is the first song I wrote for what became the album. I felt torn between writing something more gothic country like my older catalogue, or trip hop and sample based like the music I was listening to. Naturally it turned into both, which is a testament to the song’s story: an homage to my new found not really worrying about what people think my music, or me, might be, and focusing on what I like and what inspires me. Not feeling “it” like I used to is referring to the full body forward momentum I was feeling of getting over something that wasn’t good for me. Leaving behind your past, both physically and mentally, can be a glorious thing.”

Burns’ fifth full-length album ‘Element’ was primarily co-produced between Burns and Jason Corbett (ACTORS) at his Jacknife Studios in Vancouver, and also features collaborations with Colin Janz (Teset) and vocologist Carol-Lynne Quinn. The nine-strong track album was pieced together over a two-and-a-half-year span between Burns’ home and Mexico.

Of the album as a whole, Burns notes, “Element is a pop album for introverts. A soundtrack to accompany a trip into one’s inner world when the outside one isn’t cutting it.”

Louise Burns’ new single ‘I Don’t Feel Like I Used To’ is out now, followed by the release of her album ‘Element’ scheduled for Spring 2023… For now, why not check out the official video for the single below…

Song Of The Day: Fighting A War – Julian Rose (ft. Caroline Romano)

LA-based artist Julian Rose JUILAN ROSE and alt-pop powerhouse Caroline Romano team up for latest collaborative single, ‘Fighting A War’. Alternating between Julian’s R&B-tinged vocals and Caroline’s breezy voice, the single grapples with the push-and-pull of modern romance. It’s a reflective and lushly textured track that highlights the best of Caroline and Julian’s different musical universes.

Caroline says of the single: “Julian and I sat down to write this Summer while I was in LA. He came up with the chorus in the first fifteen minutes and, from there, we both found ourselves in two different parts of the same story. We wrote what each of us wanted to separately, and the final product is what you hear when we put everything together for the first time. I think it’s a universally relatable song. The clinging to something that once was, the loneliness of walking around a newly desolate relationship. It’s the war that we all fight at some point. I like that we both wrote different stories that ended up being part of the same one. It feels like a metaphor for something.”

A songwriter, rapper, producer and multi-instrumentalist, Julian Rose seamlessly blends elements of classic rock, soul, funk, hip-hop and pop, which defies genre boundaries. He made his debut in 2022 with the release of ‘How Deep,’ a 3-track EP produced by Bret “Epic” Mazur (Crazy Town, Black Eyed Peas, New Edition).

At just 21-years-old, Nashville-based singer and songwriter Caroline Romano has already accrued millions of streams across her repertoire. Her songs showcase her witty, introspective and hopeful take on modernity, romanticism and the highs and lows of being young in today’s world. In 2022 Caroline shared her debut album, ‘Oddities and Prodigies’, and has continued to capture the attention of fans and tastemakers with follow up singles like ‘Chopstix’ and ‘Me After September.’

Kee, Yolanda Adams, CeCe Winans, Twinkie Clark, Karen Clark Sheard, Micah Stampley and many more.
