Bay Area rockers French Cassettes return with their third new single in three years ‘Medium Horny‘.

Probably one of the strangest songs we’ve ever written, but the only hiccup was when I told the band the name of the song and I remember there was a full three seconds of pause,” vocalist Lorenzo Scott Huerta shares of the new song, which is called “Medium Horny,” “Then we got to work.”

The song explores mental health seriously, and the music is like a dreamy pop song with acoustic guitars. . “[It] started as just finger shapes I liked the look of on my guitar,” Huerta confesses. “But truth be told the inspiration is split into four of my favorite songwriters: The first verse is Johnny Marr, middle section is Jeff Lynne and Bill Evans, the outro is Elliott Smith. I’ve never heard a full Evans song in my life, I don’t think, but I’ve heard he does ‘chord solos’ and I loved that idea so I wrote a guitar solo of just strummed chords. When we recorded it, I tried to re-record the guitars, and our guitarist Mackenzie asked ‘Why?’ Which was a good point. So we just kept the demo guitars.”

The music video for the song gets even weirder. Director Syra McCarthy was allowed to turn a dream from their childhood into a video that goes along with the song. “From ages seven to 15 I had this recurring dream that this suave alien named Charles would fly down from the sky in a cool car, park in front of my house, and charm my neighbors and family into coming home with him, even offering me my favorite Tootsie Pop (cherry)—but I was never sold,” McCarthy explains. “Listening to ‘Medium Horny,’ the psychedelic sad-boy sway made me think of (yes) the literal meaning, but also, Charles. How easily we can feel so numb and unsatisfied on the day to day, and how easily someone like Charles could seduce us with ‘happiness’ capitalism.

Francis On My Mind is back with a brand new single ‘This Is My Time’, released via Universal Music Romania.

“This Is My Time” is very special to me, a song I’ve recently written while I was in Tallin. I wrote every verse crying and longing for childhood, until I realized that it’s ok to be a child at any age, I just needed to learn how to embrace my inner child.”

The indie-pop singer-songwriter merges pop melodies with ’80s influences and a hint of electronic. After her debut single, “On My Mind,”, Francis continued with “Never Be The Same.”

She dropped her third single, “Summer,” and in 2021, she kicked off the year with a cover of Dua Lipa’s popular hit, “Don’t Start Now,”.

“I create my own universe through my music. I let myself often slip into melancholy. Melancholy opens a gate to marvelous lands where your imagination can build everything you desire. Like Alice in Wonderland, for me, melancholy is the door to the realm where everything is possible, and no rules apply. And in that realm I get to create my songs, my music”.

Speaking on the release, Ella states: ‘This first single from my upcoming EP is about a very relatable, widely dealt with topic: living with anxiety. What makes this song different than all the other songs about mental health out there is that it’s written in a fun, quirky and upbeat kind of way – I mention my to do list of things I try to get through in order get rid of anxiety in the chorus before ultimately coming to the conclusion that anxiety is best handled by letting things go instead of adding things onto your plate. Anxiety is normal and instead of fighting it to go away it is much more manageable when accepted and embraced.’

Los Angeles-based KAYLS aka Kayla Stewart shines as she releases her new single, “Hatch.” This song is a unique and refreshing blend of electronic and indie rock, making it one of the better songs out there now.

Her first song, “On The Rocks!”, got a lot of love from Apple Music, Ones To Watch, Flaunt, and Wonderland Magazine. After that, she released “Internet,” a touching slow song that landed her this interview with Galore Mag.

In “Hatch,” KAYLS quickly sets the stage and makes her point clear: ““We’ve been in the incubator too long.” The song combines modern pop with a guitar-heavy, glitchy sound that captures the sensation of breaking free and venturing into new territory.

Stewart says, “Something is seemingly safe in an incubator, it’s when that thing enters the world that it can be harmed. Hatch is a song about a love that feels so good in its safe space but it’s nearing that moment when it must meet reality. When things stay protected forever they never grow. It is with trial and tribulation that love and a connection between two can become a real lasting relationship and that’s what this song is about. Kind of like, hey let’s see if we can grow because we’re great together and there’s nothing to be afraid of. The song really brings you into that feeling.”
