Estella Dawn releases the raunchy track ‘Yes Chef‘.

Estella Dawn sings effortlessly, reminiscence of Tove Lo, but less sad are more happy. “You don’t owe me anything But good head, That’s the terms and conditions That we both set, Spending all this change Got my heart spent, I want you to want me You don’t owe me anything But good sex”

Estella says about the song, “An age-old narrative, an informal arrangement brings contentment to one individual while stoking desire for more in the other.”

A singer, songwriter, and musician from New Zealand now living in the US, Estella writes, records, and helps produce all her songs. Her singing style is similar to popular artists like Sia, Adele, and Halsey, and her songwriting takes inspiration from artists like Billie Eilish and Lady Gaga. But her music’s unique lyrics and melodies set her apart from comparisons.

Toronto-based artist Loviet has recently released her new single, ” Easier” “Easier” is a fantastic mid-tempo alternative rock track filled with emotion. It’s also the third and ultimate track from Loviet’s second EP of 2023, titled “Little Heaven,”  which is a self-proclaimed collection of sad songs.

Last spring, she embarked on a tour with JP Cooper, gracing sold-out venues across North America, including venues like ‘The Roxy’ in LA. Additionally, Loviet played Bluesfest, FEQ, and Lollapalooza. Now, she is on a USA Tour supporting Mating Ritual, maritimes supporting The Beaches.

Loviet considers herself a live artist first and foremost.

“I think I’m a live artist first and that my strengths are definitely in my live show. When performing, it’s your stage and you get to make it whatever you want, while recording has always felt to me like I’m kind of walking onto somebody else’s stage. I’m learning to understand more of how to own both stages, be it producing my own music or finding like-minded collaborators and producers, but I really want to find that connection with both. There is something so intimate about being anywhere in the world with your headphones on, listening to your favorite songs, so recorded music means a lot to me. Nothing’s been more challenging for me coming up than when people say things like, “The live show is way better than the record” or that they prefer one over the other. I’m really happy that my recent releases are bridging more of that gap, and kind of live and breathe in the same worlds now! It sometimes feels like a different version of myself gets recorded than the one on stage, but I think those two artists are now working together more on both platforms.”
