Pop artist GODFREY is full of Electro energy on his new song Let Me. Although he delivers elements of current pop music, he also pays homage to innovators of Disco and soul-pop. His lyrics represent a deeper and darker meaning in comparison to the colourful, summer-emphasized music production. It’s a formula very similar to successful, renowned Disco Pop music acts such as The Bee Gees. It is evident when listening to GODFREY’s words that he is unafraid of wearing his heart on his sleeve. Shown by his references of low-confidence and the lack of one’s self-love, delivered over a heavy,…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMIDItx-__I Love Ghost is an exceptional band who has dropped edgy track I’ll be “fine” which masterfully fuses trap with alt-rock music production. It also reminds us of the “chorus” and “delay” effected, electric guitar riffs of Metal bands such as Metallica. The sinister chord progression, which is almost reminiscent of the ‘Eat Me, Drink Me’ era of Marilyn Manson’s controversial and gothic career. Lead singer Finnegan Bell’s memorable vocal tone takes us back to nostalgic, singers such as Mark Greaney of JJ72 which, along with its dark, distortion effects, ensures that this song remains within its Metal-influenced territory. I broke…
Listening to Seattic’s unusually deep, New Wave-sounding voice, it is no wonder this talented, Alt-Pop musician is inspired by Post Punk acts such as The Cure. New single bit sends you into a similar, trippy frenzy like The 1975’s Frail State Of Mind did when it first dropped. bit is an acronym (Back In Town) and a tribute to 80’s computer architecture 8 BIT. Its well-crafted sample-in-reverse and audio backing is perfectly filtered to a level in which the listener anticipates one of the most exciting build-ups to the main hook. And the climax does not fail us one “bit.”…
Lycio’s intro and synth arrangement of new single Somebody reminds us of the dramatic opening of the burning car scene from Lady Gaga’s Marry The Night music video. Genny Mendez’s vocals deserve a standing ovation for capturing this moment so beautifully. It is as if Dua Lipa and Lady Gaga have teamed up to delve into an emotive, Alt-Pop direction.

Silk Cinema’s I’m Found throws us back to the ole-skool Disco vibes of classic ’80s movie soundtracks. It is easily comparable to renowned Dance acts such as Moloko, who have also delved into similar territory with their experimental, Electronic sound. However, the muted rhythm guitar of I’m Found is packed with epic reverb and delay effects, bringing about the song’s unique ambience. With the overall, laid-back sense of relaxation within its production, it reveals a dream pop feel. This is a genre which has become very trendy over the last few years with the help of critically acclaimed, New Wave…
Fresh, new, pop singer-songwriter Darragh Chaplin has just dropped his fourth track of 2020 entitled Second Place. It is a much welcome, quirky, endearing number, which delivers keyboard sounds unheard of from this era. Whether it be the bright, glockenspiel-sounding note which is hit at the same time as the snare throughout or the pizzicato melody performed in the second verse, overall it is an ear-pleasing, understated piece of pop music. And the whole thing fits nicely alongside Chaplin’s clean, crisp, pitch-perfect vocal performance, which is delivered delicately at most points so that neither his voice nor the music overtake…

Infectious consists of catchy, gothic Electro music and an authentic tribute to the Alternative 80’s scene. Color Theory has captured this masterfully via a vocal performance reminiscent of the deep, mellow tone of Dave Gahan from Depeche Mode. It displays an overall Synth sound which is not of this era and comparable to influential artist Gary Numan. Infectious is the ultimate throwback to the early days of The Human League, specifically their 1980, underground track Being Boiled, up until the middle 8 section where Color Theory delivers a piano solo which, unpredictably, throws us into the emotive, chord structures of…
With Time is the best way to kick start a promising career for multi-talented singer-songwriter Arya Yunata. His debut single With Time is delivered with simplicity, tenderness, and authenticity.

Have you ever met someone that…
Shadi G is an interesting newcomer to the R&B/pop world, and with her new single Wrong Kind, this classy music act has a promising future ahead of her. The opening lead guitar, with its use of reverb and delay effects, instantly put you in that intentionally erotic mood. The atmospheric vibes, in a contradictory way, almost sends us into Cigarettes After Sex-territory, as opposed to an “R&B diva” realm. Once Shadi’s vocals drop, her voice, and the beautifully performed guitar riff become one, and very sensually so. There is also a Latin Pop tempo, reminiscent of Rihanna’s 2010 hit single…
