Todd Kowaluk ‘Enough Is Enough’

Vancouver singer-songwriter Todd Kowaluk has been working on his unique brand of indie folk for a number of years, using 90s-influenced indie rock and pop with a higher message since his debut EP Love Can Set Us Free. He returns with his brand-new single ‘Enough Is Enough’. A track which he credits a significant degree of importance. For him, it represents a milestone in his life, musically, spiritually and career-wise.

Sam Segurado ‘Phoenix’

Irish-Portuguese solo artist Sam Segurado releases his brand-new single ‘Phoenix’ showcasing the foundation of his love for music and unmatched talent for fusing captivating instruments with profound lyricism. The track sees him blend of alternative-indie-folk on this acoustic offering. Interplaying guitar and piano with his delicate vocal delivery atop a lush synthscape, its lyrics evoke the line he so often treads between romance and sorrow.

Bestial Mouths ‘The Knife’

‘The Knife’, which is taken from Bestial Mouths most recent album, R.O.T.T. (inmyskin), is a deep dive into trauma pop that begs to be danced to. It draws you into that emotional vortex of shared ekstasis, which is as accessible as death, while continuously drawing you back into the darkness of reality and teetering toward the light.

Queen Bitch ‘Bones’

Queen Bitch’s debut single ‘Bones’ is a shattering, cymbal and guitar-heavy fury, the song is an upbeat celebration about mending, regaining one’s strength, and losing trust before finding great trust, beginning with a fierce scream. The genre-blend of pop-rock, alternative-rock, and grunge mixes incredibly showcasing her signature sound on record. The hard-hitting production on ‘Bones’ features electric guitar, bass, and drums, along with gravelly and raspy vocals. The energised instrumentation paired with victorious vocals draws the listener in immediately.

Addessa ‘Mirame’

Emerging music artist Addessa was raised surrounded by a rich tapestry of Latin traditional music, the energetic sounds of the ‘80s, and the soulful melodies of the ‘90s pop and R&B. Her brand-new single ‘Mirame’ is about loss, losing someone you love, whether in a romantic or platonic way. It is an expression of my personal experiences and emotions. It’s raw and honest.
