Introducing DANIELA SANTOS, a very talented singer/songwriter from North Portugal who shares her gift to the world with her first ever single ‘One Night (Demo)’.
With her mesmeric vocal range, Daniela creates a compellingly intimate ambiance along with the warm plucks of the acoustic guitar, which can be perfect for those cosy spring nights.
Keep your eyes peeled on Daniela as she plans to release more music throughout the year…but for now, watch the video for ‘One Night (Demo)’ below…
5OMERSET takes his first step towards an acoustic singer-songwriter sound with brand new single ‘Desire’.
Written and produced by the man himself, ‘Desire’ takes form of a love note, which documents the ups and down of relationships and how feelings change over time – but as long as the love is true it will last forever. The warm plucks from the acoustic guitar, which exudes an authentically rich vibe, serves as the perfect backdrop for 5omerset’s soothingly comforting vocals.
Immediately compelling, ‘Desire’ was released yesterday (12th April) on various music platforms. Why not have a listen below…
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.

Following on from previous single, ‘Strong For You’, Australian Singer-Songwriter, KAREN HARDING reveals the second half of her musical project with Argentinian P&M Records, with the dual release of ‘It’s Okay’ and ‘Greener On The Other Side’, featuring the Cologne Chamber Orchestra.
Written by Karen Harding and produced by P&M Records, ‘It’s Okay’ tells a story of self-frustration.. of believing that you should be somewhere, someone or somehow different than where you are.. and then allowing yourself to drop it and let go in compassion for yourself, letting yourself know that it is truly ok for things to be exactly as they are.
Co-written with P&M Records and featuring the Cologne Chamber Orchestra, ‘Greener On The Other Side’ was written when considering some big changes. It highlights the fears that come up with the change and questions whether what you imagine on the other side of change is truly the reality of how it is. Is the grass really greener on the other side?
“It was such an incredible honour to be able to have the Cologne Chamber Orchestra play on ‘Greener On The Other Side’. It has always been a dream to work with an orchestra, and to work with such a talented and world class orchestra is beyond my dreams” Karen Harding
Since her debut single release in May 2021, ‘I Didn’t Realise’, Melbourne, Australia singer-songwriter, Karen Harding has been on a journey of musical and personal exploration, determined to see what is truly possible in music and creativity.
Karen Harding has recently collaborated with Argentinian P&M Records, the Cologne Chamber Orchestra, Canadian producer, Landao, Melbourne Hip Hop artist, Serif, and a stunning inspirational project with Misia Julia, as well as winning the 2021 Bendigo Bank sponsored Radio Eastern songwriter talent show and being nominated as top 10 winner for the World Songwriting Awards, and a nominee for Best International Artist on Crags Radio Independent Artist Awards in February 2022.
Likened to the sounds of Eva Cassidy, Sarah McLachlan and Karen Carpenter, Karen Harding’s music features alluring and ethereal vocals at the forefront, complimented by an instrumental soundscape that will send you soaring within a dreamland of imagination.
Having begun her musical journey, playing the piano at 6 years old and beginning formal singing lessons at 14, music has become a world of discovery and possibility, as well as a tool and a therapy for her to sort through experiences and emotions, that touch each of us within the human race.
Karen Harding has big plans for evolution and metamorphosis as 2023 rolls around and is looking forward to sharing all the projects that are yet to be revealed…but for now, listen to ‘It’s Okay and ‘Greener On The Other Side’…
