Tessa Dixson – Ignited
Tessa Dixson is one true force to reckon with this year as she prepares her takeover. From Belgium – which in our books is an increasing powerhouse that holds some of the best pop, house and interesting acts Europe has to offer these days – Tessa Dixson delivers a new jam in the name of "Ignited". A sprawling production that drips street-credibility and determination.
Flies+Flies – Show Me Again
"Show Me Again" marks the first of a series of new singles to be released this year. It is accompanied by a video directed by friends Edith & Anna Bergfors.
Tropic Harbour – Act Cool
Tropic Harbour should ring a bell if you have been reading this leeel'blog of ours for over a year. January 2018 it was. We covered the amazing "Can't Pretend" track by Mark Berg better known as Tropic Harbour. He returned on April 26th of this year with a brand new EP called 'Calm' comprised of 5 tracks. Including "Act Cool" which we're featuring today:
Leisure – On My Mind + FREE CONCERT
New Zealand super group Leisure have been on our radar for yonks (as you'll find out here) and have always impressed me with their laid back soundscapes and easygoing vocals tied ingeniously with clever lyricism. They remind me JUNGLE on a lower gear. With lush production value and tried and tested signature sounds that are to be enjoyed best in a live setting.
Introducing: Wesphere
From Barcelona, Wesphere is a four piece outfit that produces a sensory journey. Blending analog and electronic elements throughout their newest single "Swimming Deeply" set to launch them through a busy 2019 after a short hiatus and a first LP released back in 2014.
Snoh Aalegra drops new slow-burn single “You” on April Fools.
After two years in the making Snoh Aalegra returns with what seems like some pretty interesting music. First with brilliant lead single "I want You Around" and today, conveniently released on April Fool's day
James Alexander Bright drops the soulful, groove driven single “Tigers Roar”
James Alexander Bright fuses a multitude of genres into his new single that results in a primal approach to emotions, rooted in a simple way of living life.
Duo MXMS delivers funeral pop stunner “Paris”
You've clearly gone halfway into seducing me to take a listen to your music if you mention, or your track has references to my beloved hometown. Add to that a clear mention of where you used to live (in this case, the 19th arrondissement, also where I spent most of my childhood and present life) you've got yourself my undivided attention.
I can almost taste the Praliné made by Fuchy
The lyrics sung both in French and English turn the track into a real sexy, almost sweaty and sultry affair. It's silky-smooth and kind of just melts in your mouth.
