Sage Phoenix – Without Your Love

Sage Phoenix, from Longview, Texas, is a singer-songwriter who loves to create music ranging from mellow, ballad-style tracks to upbeat, happy hits. She has been making music for the past two years, and already she has got so far!

“Without Your Love” was released earlier on in the year, but it is an incredible song! It is a piano-led, heartbreak feel kind of song, that really gets us in our feels. Sage Phoenix sings about the loss of a lover, and how much she misses her previous partner. This type of heartbreak song is very popular in today’s society, as we all find ourselves immensely relating to it.

For me, the highlight of the song has got to be Sage’s soulful and beautiful vocals. She sings with such warmth and emotion, and it really makes us hear the lyrics and the pain that she is feeling. Her voice holds so much potential, and I am excited to see what other track she will be creating with her lovely vocals.

I honestly fell in love with this track the moment that I heard it, and I am sure you will to. Everything about “Without Your Love” is perfect, the production, the composition, the vocals. You must give it a listen to, especially if you find yourself going through heartbreak.

Claire Heffernan – Gemini

Claire Heffernan is an artist from Ireland, who has recently decided to take the leap in making original music. Claire is full of talent with the ability to write songs, produce, record, and perform. She studied music at master’s level and has used her talent to reach many milestones. Claire was often found performing at Bunratty Castle banquets and held the title of ‘Ireland’s Best Wedding Musician’ for three consecutive years.

“Gemini” is Claire’s latest single and it is honestly such a beautiful, soulful song, full of emotion. The track is a piano-led masterpiece, which remains quiet and downbeat for the duration of the song, but its peacefulness is what makes the song so special.

Claire’s voice is incredibly lovely, and she sings so well. I personally, cannot fault her vocals at all, and after hearing this track, I cannot wait to have a little look into what other work she has done.

“Gemini” is amazing! That is all I can say, it is absolutely amazing!

Luckily for us, this is not everything from Claire. In 2023 we will be amazed with a new debut EP.

Cerys Georgina, a new star, has just dropped her new and first ever release, “Nobody’s Birthday” on the 18/11/2022. And you definitely do not want to miss this one!

I’ve got to say, that her sound is absolutely amazing! The song is soft yet has a little beat to it that kind of makes us want to have a little boogie. She also sounds similar to other artists, such Olivia Rodrigo. Towards the latter part of the track, we are stunned with a little instrumental, which continues up until the outro of the song. The drumbeat has got to be one of the most distinctive elements to “Nobody’s Birthday,” as its pattern is unique and absolutely amazing!

Additionally, I am personally shocked with how great Cerys’ vocalism is, as her voice is stunning! From the beginning of the song, her warm vocals keep the track moving, and engross us entirely. Cerys’ voice has so much potential, and she definitely deserves recognition for her talents.

After hearing Cerys’ song, I got to say I am so excited to see what else she has in store for us. “Nobody’s Birthday” is undoubtedly one that I will be keeping in my personal playlist, and you guys definitely should too!

The Taiwanese-American singer/songwriter and producer, Sydne Strauss, is a rising musician who has been creating her own music from an early age. Born in a small town in Missouri, Sydne started performing at the age of seven, and then moved herself to Los Angeles as soon as she graduated high school, to help her pursue her career. She is now discovering her own sound increasingly every day and is constantly creating new music.

Sydne’s newest release “Upstairs” is a short but sweet one, with just over two minutes of greatness. It is the ultimate dance-pop tune, filled with passion and desire. “Upstairs” is perfect for a party, with its beat and positivity that seeps through. The song remains upbeat with a hard rhythm and bassline, that just automatically makes us want to get up and dance.

The song has a very relatable meaning, of meeting someone new, and locking eyes with them from the second you see them. It almost creates a nostalgic feeling. I must say, for me, the highlight of the song has got to be Sydne’s amazing, sultry vocals. Her vocals hold so much power, and immediately captivates us when we hear her.

The music in this song is incredibly laid-back and peaceful, creating a dreamlike, surreal feeling when we hear it. The acoustics and soul-sounding music make this song amazing.

Tally Koren – It’s Who You Are

The London-based singer-songwriter, is an indie/pop artist who has just returned with another hit single! Tally has already achieved many outstanding things such as performing at The Royal Albert Hall, The Belgrade Theatre and The Marbella International Film Festival. She has also won a Fringe Award for best singer-songwriter and even featured on BBC Radio 2!

For Tally’s most recent single “It’s Who You Are” she has collaborated with Chillz Muzik, and together they have created an amazing track! This song is slightly different compared to Tally’s usual kind of music, as this track kind of just makes us want to get up and have a little dance around the kitchen. Her voice has a soothing effect and is bound to lift you up and put a smile on your face! I personally love Tally’s vocals as she sings with such strength and amazing harmonisations!

The music in “It’s Who You Are” has an up-tempo to it and really pushes that dancing feeling. The production of this song is absolutely outstanding!

We also cannot forget Chillz Muzik feature on this song, as he enters in the later part with a little rap. His sound is fairly different to Tally’s, but the contrast is what makes it so amazing. I find with this song, that I could listen to it on repeat all day and never get bored!

Anyways, if you haven’t already, go and give “It’s Who You Are” a go and I am certain you will love it just as much as I do!

Dorian – Blast Off

Dorian, who was born and raised in New Jersey has a passion for music. He quite often finds himself writing about his own personal life stories with the hope that others can relate to them. Dorian never seems to just stick to one genre of music, instead he likes to mix it up, creating a different sound. During his time in the music industry, he has already won the “Artist Of The Year” title at the DMV based independent artist platform, ‘EnJOY The Mic.’

His track “Blast Off” I must say is a great one, filled with elements of R&B, hip-hop and even rap. The track has a memorable beat, that just makes us want to bop our head to it. I find myself really enjoying the chilled music to this one!

Dorian’s vocals are undoubtedly amazing, as he gives off a vibe that I would say is similar to artists such as Craig David. He has such a soothing yet powerful voice, which is perfect for this type of track. There is also an inclusion of backing-vocals within the track that really help highlight his voice and give a more exciting effect to the song.

If you are yet to listen to music by Dorian, then be sure to make this one your first, as it is just so amazing!

Mick J Clark – It’s Christmas Party Time

With Christmas right around the corner, we are all starting to get in that Christmas spirit, and this is the perfect track to do so!

After already getting the pleasure to hear music by Mick J Clark, I must say when I saw “It’s Christmas Party Time,” I was so excited to hear what other masterpieces he has created.

Mick has been making music for over a decade now, and within that time he has written over sixty songs and received over a million streams on Spotify. His music is one that you must give a go, as he caters for everyone with his multi-genre music.

“It’s Christmas Party Time” is the perfect, upbeat festive tune that really allows us to get into that Christmas spirit. The beat is one to dance to, and the vocals are one to sing with! Mick has included bell sounds, along with people cheering and joy in the background. The idea of that is to make us really feel the festivity, and almost bring a family-like feel to the song.

From the first time I ever heard Mick’s vocals, I loved them, and once again he has proved himself in this song. He sings with such rawness and cheerfulness, and it makes us enjoy every second of it!

Although this hit was released all the way back in 2012, he definitely created a good one here! I could not recommend Mick J Clark and his music enough, so please go and give it a listen to!
