Poking our nose in the country world we found a nice little gem. His name is Nathan Kalish and just released an alt country album. It’s tough to categorize Kalis, but maybe Neil Young and Wilco fans would find solace in his music. Even Kalish admits, “I have a hard time fitting in anywhere. I think I always will”. Scheduled to play 250+ shows in 2018, the latest album was recorded with Dave Beeman (Pokey LaFarge). Moreover, the Nashville based artist made the Rolling Stone ‘10 Country Artists You Need Know‘.

The new track follows the previous Somber featuring morgxn. All in all, Lina Hansson, who goes under the moniker of Violet Days is on the cusp of breaking out and the newest single could take the Swedish artist to the next level. Maybe she will finally get that break. In fact, the track was produced by Kris Eriksson, who crafted Chainsmokers’ “Paris” which became a huge hit. Check it out!

Kings favorite St. Humain releases a new track ‘The Thought Of You‘. It’s the third single release that comes off his upcoming project. The latest track follows the amazing and probably still my favorite ‘Free Fall‘ which made Apple Music’s “Best of the Week”, Spotify’s Pop for Life, and quickly clocked 100k Spotify streams. The singer-songwriter and producer is a Singapore native but now resides in Australia. Definitely a one to watch.
