Who doesn’t love a good Christmas tune? The answer is no one and it is never too early for the Christmas music to come out!

This is one of those Christmas songs that make you reminisce all the great Christmases you experienced as a child and how they change as you grow up. Anthony sings about all things that are included with this time of year, like presents, the snow, and the excitement we all used to feel. The songster clearly misses these Christmases and hopes for a better one next year.

However, I must say, Anthony’s vocals are absolutely amazing and fit so well with this song. Although this song is a bit more sombre than others, it still is one that you can enjoy.

Included in the instrumentals of this song is bell like sounds, that really take you back to happy Christmases.

This is a song that you must have a listen to around Christmas, especially if you find yourself struggling at all.

Sometimes all we need is a nice, mellow tune that makes us relax and chill out. Johanna Dadap has created a song which is perfect for that vibe!

Johanna is a young artist with incredible vocals and other talents such as guitar, piano and ukulele playing. Her voice is soothing yet her emotions really shine through. The idea of her music is to get us to really feel how she feels.

Within this song, Johanna holds the talent of being the lead vocals, the backup vocals and the guitarist on an acoustic. The creates an almost consuming song that is beautiful and melodic.

The lyrics appear to be about the lack of appreciation and care the Earth gets, and that people won’t do anything about it until the world goes “up in smoke”. Global warming is a major issue in modern day society, and Johanna singing about it could hopefully raise more awareness of the issue before it is too late.

“The world’s gone up in smoke” is a track that needs to be heard by everybody, so please have a listen to it.

Honestly, all I can say is wow! This song is just amazing!

Sometimes a slow, peaceful song is just what anyone wants to hear, and this song is beautiful. Betty’s vocals are fantastic, and her voice is full of emotion and beauty.

This song has very deep connotations, of the battle of depression, and how sometimes life can make you feel like you are drowning. This is an extremely personal topic of Betty’s, but it is an important one that many can unfortunately relate to. This is one of those songs that might make somebody see that they are not alone in their thoughts.

Although the music is more of a soft, stripped back one, the instrumental remains incredible. There is a quiet drum beat with an unusual, yet amazing guitarist. In the second half of the song, we are hit with a distorted guitar solo which sounds awesome. The use of distortion really adds to the way some mental illnesses make you see life differently and possibly more corrupt than others.

Please give Betty Reed’s new release a try and you will not be disappointed!

Reue (pronounced roi-uh) and the Synthemesc have teamed up to create the masterpiece “Always late”.

I must say “Always late” is the ultimate rave song, and I honestly would love to hear this on a night out!

Reue himself is starting to rise through the charts with his techno/house tracks, as he seems to gain more and more listeners. “Always late’ being his newest release is definitely one that is going to go far. The song has all the right components for a great techno song.

This track is instrumental only, with no sight of lyrics anywhere. This has a great effect as we can take time to appreciate the booming bass and beats, rather than just the singer. This results in Reue’s work really getting noticed and valued.

After having a quick listen to other work by the artist, I am eager to hear other work of his to come out. If you are a real-raver then this is undoubtedly the song for you!

If you are into that futuristic, synth pop style of music, then I highly recommend Joshua Martin’s “High go down”.

“High go down” is an 80s inspired hit that uses electronic, dance sounds to create this piece. The entire song is incredibly catchy and is the kind of song that make you want to get on your feet and dance to. Although it may seem a bit unusual at the start due to the futuristic elements and synthesizers, you are extremely likely to love it as it is so catchy.

Joshua Martin’s music is the kind that I would love to hear in a nightclub whilst partying with your friends, as it is just an uplifting, memorable song.

If you have never heard any of Joshua Martin’s work, then please have a little look below at his work. I personally am intrigued to see what other pieces Martin has created!

iHATEJON is a hip-hop artist, who clearly takes inspiration from artists such as Mac Miller and Lil Peep. iHATEJON released his new single “Bounce it” last week and this is not one to miss.

As a major fan of hip-hop and rap, this song jumped out at me as soon as I heard it. The track is chilled but also has interesting beat to it. iHATEJON also includes different beats than what usual hip-hop artists do, as he tris to take on the more alternative style of hip-hop.

“Bounce it” has the perfect mixture of rapping, spoken words and singing. The effect of all of these means that the song remains interesting and upbeat. The song additionally ends with a nice instrumental, that leaves you bopping your head, wondering what else iHATEJON has in store for us.

Go ahead and give “Bounce it” a listen to and if you are a fan of hip-hop, you will 100% enjoy this song.

Amazing!

Intercontinen7al was originally a group of 22 artists that came together to create numerous songs all for charity. A few years down the line, the group have had more artists join them and they have all continued to create songs for a good reason, for example, this song.

“War’s the noise” is a new release by Intercontinen7al, that pushes to spread a powerful message. The song is about the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia and has many European artists featured in it. 

This track features powerful, soulful vocals that make the listeners feel the emotion that they are feeling. Due to this song being of rock style, we get to witness pure musical instruments and no electronically created beats. Intercontinen7al end this song with an extended electric guitar solo. I must give this guitar solo all the credit I can, as it is just wicked!

I highly recommend giving Interncontinen7al’s work a little listen to and I am certain you will like it. Not only is their work great, it is also one that sends out powerful messages and is charitable.

Now this is one of those songs that you would never in a billion years expect to enjoy it as much as you do! I know from my experience, after hearing it I was so excited to hear other work of Dioneesus as I enjoyed “Lolita” so much.

Dioneesus’ music is always unexpected, he ensures he cover multiple different type of music like, pop, hip-hop and even rock. This song in particular includes a strong element of pop and even hip-hop.

The bassline in “Lolita” is strong and almost sensual that it makes you want to move your body to it. Indeed, the use of two different vocalists was an incredible decision, as the two vocalists compliment each other. Both vocals are extraordinary and cannot be faulted, as they both sing with confidence and power.  

Anyways, as I said previously “Lolita” is definitely a song that you guys should give a listen to and I promise you will not regret it at all!

I am not sure about you guys but I know that I love the odd sad, quiet song every now and then. Luckily, Maria Weissman’s “Fragments” is a perfect example of that!

Maria’s song is one full of beautiful melodies, amazing instrumentals and sombre tones. The piano is a beautiful touch, as it creates a brilliant atmosphere.

Not only is the music amazing, Weismann has an absolutely beautiful, soulful voice, where her emotions are clearly presented through her singing. During Weissman’s high pitched sections, you can really hear just how good her voice is. The songster also included the use of backup vocals to emphasise the pain that she may be feeling. The lyrics are also quite sad, as she sings about her “broken parts” and her father not loving her.

After hearing this song of Maria’s, I am certainly intrigued to hear what other music she has created.

If you are ever feeling down, or want to just lie there getting in your feels, then “Fragments” is a must!

Luego’s newly released album is definitely one to have a listen to. The album is full of many great, interesting tracks, with the title track being “The vortex”.

“The vortex” song is undoubtedly one that is unusual but also incredible at the same time. Luego being an experienced artist has experiment with different musical elements. In this song, he includes a large amount of autotune. However, this autotune is not one to make his voice sound “better”, he uses it to create a completely different style of music.

Luego usually focuses on pop, hip-hop, rock and country. The country strand is definitely present in this song and the combination of this and the autotune creates a unique piece.

Whether this is your kind of music or not, you should give Luego and his work a listen to. As his music is so peculiar, yet astounding, almost anyone will enjoy it.
