Sugar Nova – Send Me Higher

The first time I heard this song, I got to say I was definitely interested and could not wait to hear more.

This song has such a good, dancing vibe to it, and is perfect for getting you to feel uplifted and cheerful. From the beginning all the way to the end, the song remains upbeat. This disco, dance-pop style is one to get everyone up on their feet and dancing to.

This song holds a lot of sensual tension, as the singer’s voice is very passionate and expressive. Sugar Nova’s vocalism is outstanding, and her voice blends perfectly with the music, as not only does it make us feel good, but we also pay attention to the lyrics that are being sung.

As this was my first-time hearing any of Sugar Nova’s music, I am excited to see what else they have in store. Their debut album is soon to come, and I personally will undoubtedly be giving this one a listen to and you guys should too!

Dax – Depression

Dax’s new release “Depression” is going to be a good one! To make a track amazing, it is vital to have all the right elements tied together, and Dax has honestly passed it with flying colours.

Dax presents his music in a very confident way and makes it one for all to enjoy. His vocalism is absolutely perfect for this kind of song, as we can really hear emotion in his voice, but we can also see his singing and rapping voice. Towards the end of the song, Dax is joined by some back-up vocals that almost represent that voice in your head telling you what to do.

The lyrics engross you with its relatability and the song entirely wraps you up within it.

The beat to “Depression” really makes you listen to the lyrics but also prevents you from feeling a sense of sadness, as it is not a quiet, mellow song.

I am so intrigued to see what else Dax has in store for us, and if he is a songster that you have not heard before, you should definitely go check him out!

Raymond Revel – Take A Break

“Take a break” is a newly released single and is definitely not one to miss!

Raymond Revel’s track is condensed with joy, vibrancy and feelings of liveliness. With influences of 70s disco rhythms and basslines, we are presented a song festival like elements. The electronic side it, allows us to see a more futuristic component of music.

This is the kind of song that everybody loves, and would be played at your family’s house party. It makes you want to get up and dance, and really enjoy the music.

The song’s musical part is a bit unusual compared to other hit songs however the effect it leaves on you is one you cannot forget.

Connor Mac – See Through

Connor Mac’s new song is a beautiful and melodic, heartfelt tune, which unquestionably needs to be listened to.

Mac’s harmonising vocals are undoubtedly the spotlight of this one, as he really expresses his vocal ability throughout “See through”. His voice is an example of comfort but we can also genuinely hear the emotion in his voice. Connor also shares a really powerful message in his song, as he apprises us about having confidence within yourself, and overcoming that self-doubt.

The choice of music in this track is superb, as the guitar strumming flows perfectly with Connor’s voice. Additionally, the use of drums (especially the bass drum in the chorus) helps the song to progress the powerful message.

Connor Mac’s music is one that I would love to hear more of therefore I will browse other songs of his. If you haven’t heard this soulful track yet, please go and give it a listen to.

Rhian! – I Need Your Love

“I need your love” is a lively pop track, that fills you with confidence and happiness. Rhian! wanted to steer away from his usual mellow music to a more upbeat and vibrant song.

To start this off, this song has immaculate vibes to it, and is perfect for people to listen to whilst dancing or even out clubbing on a Saturday night. The energy is continuous throughout the track and really gets you feeling positive.

Rhian! has used more of an electronic and dance side of pop, laced with inspiration of the 90s. The baseline is bold and prominent and his brings almost an element of nostalgia of older music.  

All the vocals in “I need your love” are also remarkable, ensuring that confident and energetic feel remains. His vocals are enchanting and definitely keep you absorbed within the track.

If you are a fan of gladsome music then Rhian!’s track is must!

Kelsie Kimberlin – Cosmopolitan Girl

After hearing previous work of Kelsie’s, when I came across this song, I must say I was excited to see what else Kelsie had in store. As it stands “Cosmopolitan girl” is of course another great song.

Kimberlin’s voice is one that is distinctive but beautiful, and she honestly has done immensely well with this track.

Who doesn’t love an upbeat, happy feel song made by an artist with a beautiful voice?

The song maintains a positive vibe, with a steady instrumental throughout. This is undoubtedly a track that you would listen to whilst dancing in the kitchen.

Not only is this song one that fills us with excitement, but it is also one that sends out a powerful message about war and cultural differences. Kimberlin aims to spread appreciation for other cultures and embrace our differences. Such a powerful meaning behind this song really brings Kimberlin’s personality and kindness to light here.

Nevertheless, go and give Kelsie’s track a listen to!

Animate – Unbound

“Unbound” is an absolutely beautiful song, that ties all the perfect components together, creating a masterpiece.   

Animate decided to take it down a notch from their usual music and do an acoustic piece. The guitar in this song is amazing, as it allows you to cherish life and feel that sense of warmth. In the later part, Animate include a small little electric guitar solo, that really emphasises the warmth of the song.

‘Unbound’ is a song of relaxation and allowing the song to be made up acoustic instruments really gains more listeners. The sentiment and emotion of this song is also expressed through the vocals as we can really hear it in his voice.

This song can be appreciated by anyone of any age and you guys should definitely give this one a listen to!

Animate are increasingly growing as an artist, and as an artist full of potential, I hope to hear more work from them soon.

Benedicta Syran – Let Me Be

Do you ever hear a song that is not generally your type of music, but end up loving it? That is how I feel with Benedicta’s Syran’s “Let me be”.

Benedicta’s aim with song was to uplift people and feel them with positivity, which is exactly what she does with this track. The idea of independence and individuality is very prominent with children growing up, going through change. On top of that her vocals are extremely clear and melodious.  

Unlike a lot of recent music, Benedicta’s song includes the use of a band with instruments rather than electrified music. The use of this makes the song more enjoyable and more joyful.

Not only has she released this version, she has also released an acoustic version of “Let me be” that Is just as amazing!

 If you are ever feeling down or trapped, Benedicta’s music is unquestionably one that you should give a listen to.

Hannyta – Fluctuating

Dance pop with an edgy inspiration? 100%

I was taken by surprise with how much I enjoyed this song. Everything about it is absolutely amazing, the vocals, the beat, the lyrics, the vibe.

Quite often we experience that fight between our head and heart when it comes to difficult relationships and Hannyta is expressing this topic within the lyrics of her song. However, rather than portraying it in a sad, dull song, she uses her talent and knowledge of the electronic/dance pop genre to do so.

The vocals in “Fluctuating” are outstanding, and as a young artist of just 17 years, her voice quite literally takes your breath away. She sings alone, and still manages to maintain an interest and love of her voice.

The song is upbeat and brings you up on your feet to dance to.

Whether dance pop is your taste or not, I can guarantee you that you will dig this song and you will feel an urge to dance to it. So please go ahead and listen to Hannyta’s track and help boost her listening.

Kyle M Watson – WHAT NOW (Triggered)

“What now” is an absolutely great and catchy song, that I can assure you, you will love!

Everybody loves a bit of Ne-Yo style R&B, and this a perfect example of that. The song has a positive vibe to it, and it cannot be faulted in anyway.

Kyle’s vocals are also exceptional in this song. His voice is very laid back, but we can really hear the talent that he possess in this song. The backing vocals, towards the latter half of the track, really compliment the lead.

The musical side of Watson’s track also really help with the good feel of the song. It is very catchy and is one that just makes you want to dance to.

I could not recommend this song enough and as a lover of R&B “What now” is hands down a great song, that is full of potential. Nonetheless, please go support Kyle and his music, he certainly deserves it!
