Check out the Place For Me track by Bad Love. Think The Cure, The 1975, and LANY. The Manchester based four-piece describes themselves as sad boy pop writing anthems that belong to the no hope, heart-broke generation. The pandemic generation needs hope because they have no directive. With no directive and being dazed and confused the generation are told to mask up, stop the spread and we’re all in this together. By the way, who came up with slogans? I don’t know, it doesn’t matter now that we have Bad Love, because they’ll offer solace in the storm.
Watch out for electro pop artist FLORE and the track Tsunami. I listened to the track a few times and it grew on me. If you like pop & chill you should give it a stream. The track will come off her EP SUPERBLOOM which was produced by Berlin Indie pop producer & artist NOVAA. Having been compared to Stevie Nicks, Zella Day To Hayley Williams, she’s also been a blog favorite with shutouts from Ear Milk, The Line of Best Fit, I Heart Moosiq.
Look out for Nashville based Nick Fabian and the track Steady, you may like it. He draws inspiration from a variety of artists including John Mayer and Allen Stone. Listen, he has a good voice, that kind of voice where he sings on NBC’s The Voice and the chairs turn around. Give the track a stream and let me know what you think.
I thought I was listening to a new version of Bee Gees ‘Stayin’ Alive‘ when I first popped on the track, but no, it was Summer Nights by ZIMINY. Although the trend is 80’s now, David Amezcua has been doing this for years. Type in Hot Streets in the search bar or listen to them on Spotify and listen to tracks like Dr. Doctor or Sleep Machine. The tracks are more relevant now then 10 years ago. His new project is excellent, again, if you love the 80’s. David Amezcua is based in Los Angeles and former member of Awolnation.
Former Coasts frontman Chris Caines dropped a new track Home under a new project called The Forever. It’s an indie rock track, but it was the harmonies that stuck out. I don’t know too much about the Bristol based singer-songwriter other than he went through some dark times which fueled his new project that he describes is filled with love, angst, hope and fear. Give it a listen.
