I am ABSOLUTELY mind-blown right now. From the instrumentation to the songwriting, listentojules colors our imagination with her track “Tree Song” – a gem taken from her album KALEIDOSCOPE.

Throughout her verses, she delivers a tribute to nature in an INCR ..read more

Reuben Aziz’s emotive new track “Running” feels like a distinct mixture of Brent Faiyaz and Omar Apollo – two worlds that are different yet so close.

Talking about love, “Running” is based on the struggles around young romance as he shares feelings of a complex past relationship throughout his songwriting. His soulful, airy vocal performance carries both pain and tenderness particularly when distant harmonies float across Reuben’s guitar a ..read more

It’s not only the comforting allure of haugust’s vocals that snatch the attention of the listener, it’s also his descriptive songwriting that’ll have you wrapped into the experience he delivers on “Television”. The Norway-based artist bears a sound that’s reminiscent of Jordan Rakei, especially since we can hear the similarity in the vocal performance. His smooth voice is complemented by gorgeous guitar arrangements while the punchy drums breathe life into the rhythm section. As I mentioned earlier though, it’s certainly haugust’s storytelling that makes “Television” what it is, particularly ..read more

Che Jose’s “The Divide” is the opening track off his new EP, and this gem pulls you in with its atmospheric soundscape and immersive charm. DJ and producer Che Jose has created a distinct electronica sound that blends progressive house, melodic house, and elements of trance into his repertoire. “The Divide” leans more towards melodic house but possesses the fierceness of melodic techno throughout its progression. This is accentuated by the distorted guitars and the hard-hitting drums driving the rhythm section. I can’t neglect to mention the more soft, lush elements such as the keys that comp ..read more

The record is the embodiment of multi-dimensional and will offer listeners bits and pieces from Molly’s sonic universe.

On his newest release “BLUE INTRO”, stoop lee offers us stellar lyricism and catchy melodic motifs to create a listening experience that’s well-rounded. When you look at who this Detroit-based artist is influenced by, the above sentiment comes as no surprise.

The emotive vulnerability we’re presented with in the songwriting is certainly heightened by the glittery guitar arrangements, furthermore, their inclusion goes on to b ..read more

The atmosphere here is thick and complemented by uplifting ke ..read more
