Chris Ianuzzi has dropped his newest single “Lonesome Highway Superstar” and I got to say that is a great one!

Chris has always had an interest in electronic music and has used his love to create his own pieces. Chris, during his time, has toured Japan and Europe and worked in many different components of the music industry. Whilst being in New York, Chris worked in creating orchestral and electronic music for a HBO produced series, that was co-produced by Ron Howard and Tom Hanks. This is an incredible thing to achieve, and Chris has worked exceptionally hard to get where he is today.

The first time I heard this track, I immediately heard all the different musical elements of electric pop and synthwave. The electronically created beats are unrealistic and almost feel like outer space. It gives us an unusual, alien-like vibe, which is something I, personally, am unfamiliar with but the track’s unfamiliarity is something that intrigues us as a listener and makes us want to hear more.

The vocals in this song are awesome, but very minimalised, which I individually love.

If you are a fan of electric pop, then you should definitely give Chris Ianuzzi’s track a listen to! He has even recently dropped a music video to accompany his song, which is worth a watch!

Frank Joshua is a London-based artist who keeps his identity anonymous, to allow people to just enjoy the music. His love of music stems from an early age, where he’d often find himself the DJ whilst listening to music with his friends. Frank creates music that almost whisks us away into another dimension with its sound. In just the last 2 years, Frank has managed to release eighteen different tracks, after spending so long keeping his music to himself.

“Loneliest Place In The World” is his most recent track. This song is a beautiful piano-led tune, and whilst the pianist is actually Tony White, Frank takes over with his amazing vocals.

Tim Angrave decided to take on doing a remix of this track and honestly it has turned out absolutely amazing! We discover a sense of conflict as naturality and urban reality clash into each other. This is one of those tracks that engrosses you with its sound, practically making us never wanting to leave.

Keep an eye out for Frank Joshua’s second album, ‘Talk Of Things’ due for release in January of 2023.

President Street, a band from Melbourne, Australia, are an increasingly growing band. One interesting thing about President Street is that they do not stick to just one genre, as they have music from pop, soul to even drum ‘n’ bass. However, the members of the band have extremely diverse backgrounds, but their love for music glued them together. The band’s name “President Street” comes from a street that one the members used to live near in Perth, Australia.

Their latest release “Tell Me Brother” challenges the idea of masculinity and its meaning. The conversation of what a ‘man’ actually is, is key within this song, as they sing about strength, compassion and understanding. They reach out to eradicate the concept of violent and toxic masculinity and change this into men using their strength to help others.

The track is an upbeat, groovy one, that lifts us up. “Tell Me Brother” is almost a contagious song, filled with positivity. The groovy beat and bassline are catchy and memorable, leaving us with a dance-like feeling. The song is funkier compared the President Street’s usual style, but they have done exceptionally well with it! The upbeat melodies, meaningful lyrics and outstanding vocals have all truly created a masterpiece.

Go give a listen to the President Street’s newest track, and I am certain you will love it just as much as I do!

The Liverpool-originated artist K I T, is making his way through the charts, captivating more and more people to his music.

His new release “When We Say Goodbye” is an indie-rock, pop inspired track, with lots of warmth. The track is memorable and includes the use of acoustics and beautiful melodies.

The song has a soft and comforting texture to it, drawing us into the song with a feeling of consolation. The music is so incredible and pure in this track, and I love the rock influences that “When We Say Goodbye” possesses.

Without a doubt, the vocalism of K I T, is absolutely amazing! His voice is not autotuned and he sings with such rawness and emotion. His singing reminds me of artists such as Ed Sheeran and he honestly has so much potential in his voice.

I cannot recommend K I T and his new song “When We Say Goodbye” enough, so please go and give this track a listen to. You can find it on platforms such as Spotify!

IRYS is a singer-songwriter from Berlin, who creates music of a dark-pop sound. IRYS has taken inspiration from artists such as Lana Del Ray and Billie Eilish and has created a sound of such darkness yet attentiveness.

IRYS experiments with different sounds, ending in a gloomy and haunting atmosphere being present in her sound. Her voice is undoubtedly a perfect match for this song as she has that edgy tone that just engrosses us from the beginning of the song. IRYS voice is something I could listen to on repeat all day and still not get bored, as she is just phenomenal.

The production of the song incorporates a number of unusual, atmospheric, and murky sounds, which add to the element of it being a dark-pop song. The track is almost hypnotic and mesmerising, which leaves us begging to hear more of what IRYS has in store for us!

Please give “Borderline” a listen to, especially if you are a sucker for dark and melancholic songs, and you should love IRYS!

When I first heard the newest release “Mercedes” by Bonze, I was immediatelycaptivated by the song. “Mercedes” is a hip-hop and electronic-pop inspired track, dominated by amazing male vocals!

Hafto, a musician from Dallas, uses his passion for music as a means of escape and a way out of dealing with reality. His passion of music stems from a talent of writing poetry, and he uses this to create deep and meaningful lyrics within his songs. He also takes heavy inspiration from other rap artists such as Kanye West and The Weeknd.

“The Soul Pt 1” is Hafto’s most recent single, and it is undoubtedly a great one! Although it is a laidback, chilled song, the whole production is amazing and definitely worth listening to.

Hafto’s introduces us to piano keys and a soft vocal melody. This then progresses as a backbeat is added, giving the song that rap feeling to it. Hafto’s vocals are incredible, and his voice is accompanied by backing vocals to harmonize with him throughout the duration of the track. His rapping is so unique and has such purpose, that it makes us enjoy it even more.

I am honestly so intrigued to listen to some other tracks of Hafto’s, as my first impressions on him are out of this world! If you are a sucker for laidback, meaningful tracks, then do give “The Soul Pt 1” a listen to.

TriPed is a growing, independent artist, originating in London, UK. Throughout the last couple of years TriPed has released numerous singles, but I think his most recent one “When U Were Mine” is the best yet! His music takes inspiration from not only pop, but also R&B and dance.

“When U Were Mine” is a very 80s style disco and pop track. The song remains upbeat and catchy and is one of those songs that you will end up playing on repeat all day! The song welcomes us with a soft piano solo, which suddenly bursts into a bouncy and cheery beat with vocals. I personally love the musical beat in “When U Were Mine,” as it is slightly different to other hits that I enjoy, yet it is much more intriguing.

The vocals are just as great as the musical side, and they both work together exceptionally well! His distinctive vocals are kept low enough to ensure he does not overpower the thriving beat of the song.

After hearing TriPed’s track, I will definitely be keeping an eye out for other music of his. If you are fan of disco/pop, then I am certain you will love this song too!

Eric Cohen, who is from Missouri, US, takes inspiration from his own life experiences and uses them to deliver a message of hope and peace. Eric has had a difficult upbringing, where he has dealt with poverty, addiction, and despair. After a tough time, he found that poetry and music was the light at the end of the tunnel for him. From this point on, music has helped him pave his way through life, whilst in the eyes of God.

“A.M.E.N” contains the elements of a classic hip-hop hit. The beat and booming bassline give the song a feeling of power and it captivates us with it’s catchiness. The unusual keys give the track a sense of unfamiliarity that we want to explore.

I must say Eric’s vocals are great, he really shares his talent through his rap and singing. His rap flows well throughout the song, and honestly cannot be faulted in anyway.

The lyrics are dedicated to God and are very meaningful to him and his faith.

Eric’s hit is available across many streaming websites, and you should definitely give his music a listen to, especially if you ever find yourself in the same place as Eric was!
