Victoria Monét is coasting to the groove in the accompanying video to her latest single. In the retro visual, the Bay Area singer leaves her worries behind and spreads good vibes throughout. Here, she works as a waitress at the Momma Monet diner, cruises with her homegirls in a convertible, and bops to the music […]

Blu “Call Me Blu”
Blu has announced his The Color Blu(e) LP and kicks off the campaign with his first single.

María Isabel – “Baby…”
María Isabel is an LA-based Dominican-American singer making shadowy, swooning pop and R&B that fits in well with the current wave of post-Lana, post-Billie mood pieces but also makes sense in the realm of Jhené Aiko and H.E.R. Tracks like April’s “Buy Your Own Flowers” show off a casually excellent vocal presence against impeccably arranged […]

Spectres – “Tell Me”
Last year, Vancouver’s Spectres released their fourth album, Nostalgia. As the name might suggest, it found the group expertly mining retro sounds, particularly gothic strains of new wave and post-punk. Now, they’ve announced a followup.

Thyla – “Gum”
A few years ago, we named the Brighton group Thyla a Band To Watch and one of the Best New Bands Of 2018 on the strength of the soaring dream-pop in their early singles. Since then, they’ve experimented with grungier sounds on the What’s On Your Mind EP (one of 2019’s best), then pivoted back […]
