Look out for Stephanie Bartlett and her recent debut release One For Me. As a new artist Bartlett is building her resume and catalog of songs, but she has a broad range of musical influences ranging from Frank Sinatra to Metallica, from the soulful George Ezra to Adele,

Bartlett notes, “For me, art exists for its own sake; I have no desire to follow trends or pretend to be someone I’m not. Creating is my true passion, and I pour my heart and soul into every piece. I believe that music has the power to support people at various points in their lives – whether it’s to amplify happiness, provide solace during times of sadness, or make them feel less alone when life feels isolating. Through my music, I aspire to share this passion and connection with others.”

“My song “One For Me” holds a universal meaning that anyone can relate to. As the writer, I penned it to encapsulate those moments in life when nothing can bring you down. It serves as a reminder that it’s alright to let go, be unguarded and naive, fall in love, take risks, be passionate and live in the present without regrets.”

Singer-songwriter Phebe Starr has released “One Step. Two Step.” I fell in love with it after just one listen. It’s a great song and the video also works nicely. Fans of Kate Bush will love.

Starr started her career on an Australian radio station called Triple J. She made her debut with a song called “Alone With You,” which got positive reviews from ABC and The Age magazine. Her song was even used in a Samsung commercial, the 2015 movie “A Million Happy Nows,” and the TV shows “Dance Academy” and “Offspring.” Shortly after that, she released an EP called “Zero.”

Afterward, Starr’s music started getting played on Triple J, and she had the opportunity to open for popular acts like Of Monsters and Men, Jagwar Ma, The Rubens, and Paperkites. She toured both Australia and the United States. Starr also landed features in magazines like Harper’s Bazaar, Glamour, and Interview, as well as from Perez Hilton.

In 2016, she released a single called “Feel My Love” and performed at various venues in New York City, including The Foundry in Brisbane with Tigertown. She even took the stage at the SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas. In September, her song “Feel My Love” won an award in the adult album alternative category at the International Unsigned Music Awards

Estella Dawn back with a new upbeat track called Funny Bones. If you’ve been following Estella’s recent singles, you might find that this one stands out.

These lyrics convey a heartfelt story of longing and disappointment in love reflecting on a past relationship, expressing the desire for a deeper connection that was lost. The lyrics capture the emotional journey of moving on, the pain of unfulfilled expectations, and the realization that the person they long for is not the one they deserve.

Supermood drops the debut track Get Away. It’s a great first upbeat song with an interesting story behind it. Think Harry Styles meets Phoenix.

“Get Away is about rushing toward a future without understanding why. It’s about getting caught up in the moment and being propelled forward toward a nebulous dream, while internally grappling with existential uncertainties. It’s a dance between chasing and evading shadows, without getting ensnared by their gravity. It’s a song for motion, be it dancing, running, or driving.”

Supermood grew up learning instruments and writing songs from a young age in New York City. He lived in Kyiv, Ukraine, during the pandemic until the Russian invasion of Ukraine in early 2022. He then became a nomad, navigating different cities and communities in search of a new home. His songs chronicle his adventures seamlessly blending cultures and inspirations from his travels around the world.
