Stockholm-based State Of Sound impresses with the tropical house track Love Me Like That. The song which was written by the duo consisting of Victor Norén and Joakim Andrén just passed 2 million Spotify streams.

Their latest track follows their debut ‘Higher Love‘ single which was certified gold in Sweden with over 14 million streams and ‘Wake Up Where You Are’, which now has over 60 million streams on Spotify.

You’ll definitely hear more from the dance pop duo, which quite frankly are just getting started.

The Kings Parade has released their latest EP Haze. Think Alabama Shakes with hints of The Black Keys blending classic, alt pop, with a whole lotta of  soul.

The new release follows the successful 2015 debut EP Vagabond which had them playing sold out shows at London’s Hoxton Bar & Kitchen. The 4 piece indie act which also held a residency at Ronnie Scott’s has also won praise by tastemakers including Clashion, Notion, and EarMilk. Interestingly, the UK act partly formulated their signature sound playing together regularly on a Hawaiian cruise ship.

My favorite tracks include Haze and Mothers Tongue.

UK singer Dan Crossley has released his ‘Feel’ EP which has garnered much blog love including The Line of Best Fit, Clash Mag and Music Week. Having been compared to the Danish darling MØ, the Telford born singer-songwriter first made his mark when he was asked to perform at London’s The Royal Albert Hall and at The O2 Arena.

His latest EP is packed with potential big radio hits. Crossley has a knack for songwriting and has the star appeal and the vocal to back it up.  Key tracks are Feel and Nothing but Love. He’s definitely a one to watch for 2017.
