After appearing on NEW LEASE MUSIC with potential anthem, ‘Player’s Club’ back in October, New Jersey’s upcoming spitter DOLLA$IGN DUNN is back with his first HEAVY track of the year.
The three-minute slicker is part of Midnight Cyphs compilation mixtape featuring upcoming indie artists…look out for that collection when you have the time…but for now, check out this hot property’s latest offering.
SKYE THE KING and partner in crime Trilla T have come back bolder and determined to put some bounce in your Monday with their latest infectious effort, ‘Alice’. This four-minute hip-hopper may become your first favourite of the year..go check it out!
Here’s another dish of the day – this time coming from forward-thinking Danish electro-soul artist FJER and her latest single ‘Better’.
With a sound that calls to mind SIA and Banks laced with an upbeat, almost anthemic vibe, the singer/songwriter/producer’s raw emotional overtones mirror the introspective life reflections common to us all: both inclusive and yet isolated.
Produced by the Danish duo Nector, ‘Better’ is an infectious alt R&B-flecked electronica pop gem that slides effortlessly between bassy beats and spacey lulls, showcasing FJER shimmering vocals to perfection.
Accompanying the single is the trippy and glitch-flavored video which sees a shower soaked FJER reflecting on past experiences, knowing that the subject is now looking back and doubting his choices. FJER’s artistic vision is undeniable in this co-directed video with NYC’s Peter Anthony Red.
Ditching her studies at the notable Royal Academy of Music to pursue her dreams in New York City in 2012, FJER has seen early successes ranging from the independent release of two EP’s, ‘A New Start’ (2013) and the conceptual ‘Beautiful Home’ (2014), with early plaudits coming from 2DopeBoyz, YRB Magazine and Okayplayer whilst having key showcases in NYC’s staple BB Kings, Tammany Hall and The Bitter End under her belt.
FJER’s last single ‘Her Turn’ was making the rounds after being selected for Spotify’s Indietronica playlist with ‘Better’ looking to further cement her position within the empowering female-fronted scene. With plans to return in 2017 with her debut album on indie label QUINTIC, we can only anticipate what is next for the Danish powerhouse.
OK peeps, it’s time to put your New Year’s Resolution to the test with single Rise by fiery singer-songwriter LAURRHIE BROUNS.
As you will hear from the four-minute must listen, the Haitian/Dutch powerhouse puts her rich soulful/modern R&B spin on K-Pop (in which she calls EuroKPop), creating a real sugary and spine tingling sensation.
Her K-Pop/Soulful combo hasn’t fallen by the waste side: The 26-year-old performed three times at the huge Arena in Amsterdam for a crowd of 50,000 people at a time and also shared the stage with heavyweights including Emeli Sandé and Bob Marley’s legendary band The Wailers, whilst club touring across Netherlands.
In 2012, the upbeat pop songstress took her talent to new heights and auditioned for The Voice of Holland and instantly became the viewer’s favorite and was dubbed “The discovery” & “The one to watch”.
Now that’s all the credentials over with, it’s time to check out Rise. The single is taken from her EP, Ascension: Golden Seeds of Light, released in November on all major music outlets, including iTunes and Spotify.
After a mad dash to get all those Christmas presents for friends and love ones, you guys must be tired as hell…so I thought I serve up a very soothing dish of the day, ‘Keep It Together’ by indie-pop/classic rock duo STEFSKI & HUTCH. The leading single is taken from their latest five-track EP entitled ‘Classic Rock?!?’, available now on Spotify.
I would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas – enjoy it wherever you are! For now, just relax and check out the video for ‘Keep It Together.’
