Randi – Dancing With A Broken Heart

The first time I heard “Dancing with a broken heart” I was drawn to it and so pleasantly surprised! This track is an indie pop/rock style, that is filled with emotion.

Randi wrote this song in a very low part in her life as she went through a rough break up, therefore it holds such deep importance to her. This is topic that many others can also relate to. You can hear the emotion in her voice, as her voice is soft and mellow. The song has a sombre tone which just highlights the heartbreak Randi was feeling,

The music in this track is fairly upbeat, which gives it that element of positivity and her overcoming this dark path in her life.

Honestly Randi’s “Dancing with a broken heart” is an amazing track filled with emotion, darkness but also positivity. If you want to hear more from Randi, be sure to check out her other music on Spotify!

Joe Sneva – Dreams

I am not usually one for covers, but wow, this one is good!

Joe’s interpretation of “Dreams” is more of a slow, folk pop style, compared to the rock style that the Cranberries did. Joe, being a male, sings the song with a lower pitch, creating a more relaxing and steady sound. I personally love what Joe has done with this track, and possibly even prefer it over the original.

The tempo is a great deal slower than the original, but it gives a feel of familiarity and warmth. Sneva has created a more melancholic, and despaired rendition, which is not how the Cranberries set out for it to sound but has turned out extremely well.

There is a lot of pressure and high expectations towards cover artists, especially when they take on a slightly different approach, but I believe that Sneva has hit the jackpot with this one.  

Take some time to have a listen to Joe’s version, and I can assure you, you will be just as pleasantly surprised as I was.

StarAV – Loneliness

Who doesn’t love a good pop rock classic? I know I do, and I am sure you do too!

StarAV, has just dropped their new hit “Loneliness” and you would be silly to not give it a little listen to!

“Loneliness” is slightly different from the usual rock song you hear, as it has elements of alternative, pop, synth and indie. This may seem like an unusual combination, but after hearing this track I can certainly say I am not disappointed!

This song includes a harsh drumbeat with the instruments giving a growly sound. The vocals also almost feel like they are being dragged, which gives the song a feeling of sadness. The title being “Loneliness” really highlights the musical and vocal elements. However, all the vocals in this track are great, and cannot be faulted.

If you have never heard StarAV, then give their new release a go. You could also support them by giving their other tracks a listen to too!

Petra Jasmiina – Naïve

This is another one of those tracks that you never expect to enjoy, but end up finding yourself singing along, bopping your head.

Petra Jasmiina, who originates in Finland, is a new artist, who takes strong inspiration from artists such as Ellie Goulding and Taylor Swift. Petra creates music of the pop-folk genre, similar to this hit “Naïve”.

“Naíve” is a beautiful track, filled with magic, beauty and love. The song is soft, and honestly lovely and melodic.

It is undeniable that Petra’s voice is stunning, and pure, which is lovely to hear in modern day music. Additionally, the instrumental of this song is minimalised, which really highlights Petra’s voice. The song builds up as it goes on, with a nice, subtle drumbeat joining Petra’s vocals.

If you have never heard of Petra Jasmiina or her music, then you should go and have a listen to her. I can promise you will not be disappointed.

Sarves Thiru – Harmony

Sarves Thiru is a singer and composer, who has a strong passion for music with inspiration.

To kick this off, I am obliged to say, what a beautiful voice she has! Her harmonies are amazing, and her voice is almost angelic. This songs is so captivating, and one that is a bit unusual compared to other music I have listened to.

Sarves Thiru’s “Harmony” is an inspirational, motivational song, that sends a message of peace, togetherness and “Harmony”. Resolving conflicts and neutralization is a major part in life and it is important everybody unites, which is exactly what Sarves Thiru is trying to spread.

The song is a piano leading so, which creates a mellow vibe. The piano has a sombre tone, with soulful connotations.

I am so glad I came across this song, and I am so excited to see what else Sarves Thiru has in store for us!

Sweet Imperfections – Wings

Sweet Imperfections have dropped a new song, which is condensed with power and meaning.

I personally love a good song that possess a deep meaning and encourages positivity within the world.

“Wings” is one which sends out important messages about empowerment, unity and aspiration. This song screams at people to “spread their wings” and fly, a song about independence. The vocalist, Bri Schillings, is the perfect match for this song, as she holds such power in her voice. Listening to this song really does inspire you.

Sweet Imperfections are a soft-rock band, who have their own instrumental. The song is filled with a beautiful guitar, a piano and a lovely, soft drumbeat. A piano-based introduction to the song really engrosses us and has us utterly enchanted.

“Wings” is such a heartfelt, beautiful song that must be heard! If you haven’t already, go give Sweet Imperfections’ song a listen to (and there is even a little music video to go with it)!

Genevieve Sovereign – Vibration Angle

“Vibration angle” is a lovely, chilled dance-pop style of song, which Genevieve Sovereign teamed up with Ben Tenison to make.

First and foremost, the two vocals in this track are amazing and go so well together. Both of their voices are unique but so beautiful! The two singer-songwriters create incredible soundscapes.

Not only are the vocals good, but the music is also so groovy and the kind of the song to get up to dance to. It has elements of 80s disco but also an element of modernism in it too. Electronic songs seem to be rising through the charts at the moment, and this is definitely one to listen to!

If you have never heard Genevieve Sovereign, then this song should be at the top of the list. I cannot recommend this song enough, and I can assure you that you will enjoy it just as much as I did.
