Mark Hill and Nat Slater release Happy Without Me. Yes, it’s another electro pop track in a crowded market but it stands out with it’s raw garage production and its bold chorus. Slater tells Kings, “The songs speaks for itself really – it’s about moving on from a relationship gone wrong…”. Mark Hill notes, “Nat is a brilliant young writer. In Happy Without Me she taps into a universal truth. Most of us know what it’s like to yearn for someone, be left out in the cold. This lyric embodies that completely.” Check out the video here.

Look out for the new track Bliss dropped by Liverpool act SPINN. I love it! The band tells Kings, “Bliss does exactly what it says on the tin. It’s just over three minutes of absolute dream pop”. It appears the up and coming indie act are onto something. The made Spotify’s Hot New Bands, while BBC Radio 1 is a big supporter, and they have a packed touring schedule. The latest track comes off their debut album due out in May. Give it a listen.

Look out for Monique who goes under the moniker of ZINN. She just released the track Rise Above. Citing Bebe Rexha, Halsey, and Jessie Reyez as influences her latest track is impressive considering it’s her debut track. ZINN tells Kings that she will roll out three more tracks in the coming months before releasing the self titled EP. With the latest track ZINN also tells Kings, “I want people to rise above the differences. Understand the fact we are different people and have different opinions yet we are in the same place”. She continues, “We have so much energy we put into the world and we waste it on anger”.
