Portland
Exactly What I Need Belgium Jente Pironet AKA Portland is here with Exactly What I Need. If you must know, it’s dreampop luxury from his upcoming album Champain. The Belgian musician is known for being one of the nation’s most outstanding alternative music exports, stamping the black, gold, and red on the world map of music. His composition style lends an ethos from landscape pop, folk, and rock n roll. With this home-grown and accessible mix of influences, Portland prepares his 3rd major release with this latest single. It’s Exactly What I Need. Are you curious? Upbeat, lively drums and a bouncing bassline pours out like the stars arriving at dusk. The music bops with a genuine sense of excitement and fantasy before the vocal section gives it a brief settling sense. The drums frame the words as the chunky bass walks along the bar in striding steps. A smiling voice expresses the words in a true dreampop style, it’s like we’re twirling under autumn trees and smiling through the dizzy blur. The fun keeps on coming as the song extends beyond the traditional radio length and into a musical interlude that captures the reverie all over.

Elunia
Strobe Lights London Originally from Philadelphia and now enjoying the fantastic city of London, Elunia combines deeply human and intuitive lyricism with stunning electronic backdrops that sparkle on their own. Strobe Lights identifies with burn-out culture and the isolation of today’s world. She feels that today’s world glorifies exhaustion and a full schedule. This makes being a real person difficult. Elunia felt like an outsider from an early age, discovering music as an outlet for her unorthodox personality. From writing songs as a form of escape to creating moments in time that the world wants to listen to hasn’t been easy. These things never are, yet as we shall see, it’s been well worth the effort. Offering strength in vulnerability, refusing to put her feelings in a box, this is Elunia with Strobe Lights. It begins with abstract synths then Elunia enters with a melodic poignance. Her voice is so clear, I can imagine it being bottled. It makes beautiful spirits; the music evolves with strange sounds and tuneful rhythms that bump like RnB. Poems and story combine as the drama crisps and crumbles beneath the weight of the shuffling bass. Whist and wonder live in the same house, they get along, if they stay away from each other’s dream. An evolution continues the music as new instruments reveal an orchestra of surreal brush strokes in bell and elastic. A classical pop melts into a modern sounding trip-hop like a sunset over a postcard from Philadelphia. You can follow Elunia on Instagram TikTok and X 
Laptop
I Don’t Know Hurricane Cove Records Father and son combine to bring the sound of Laptop to your device. The group has been going for years and now with young energy running through the circuitry, the sound is more relevant than ever. We get the considerable veteran talent of Jesse Hartman, keeping the band alive through the 2000s during the Island Records days, and the virtue of providence that is Charlie Hartman. His heart-throb son also has his dad’s dab hand for music production, lending not only stripling magnetism but fresh perspectives on sound. Their latest number is I Don’t Know and it’s about awareness of conformity. Thinking for yourself is a sure way to make original music, and yet it has to sound right, too. Finding the innovation in between the orthodoxy is what it’s all about. Before we know it, the rules are upside down. Conformity, then, is often relative. Just like these two. A childish instrumentation begins the piece before a more grown-up rhythm begins. The lyrics lap across each other in a strange canon of song. Bass and guitars bump along the rocky road of progression as harmony and vocal display all kinds of choreography. Female voices add to the dance as we’re asking questions about this and that, playing dumb to play it safe and not caring if people think we’re insufferable, thank goodness these guys can really play. Bounce and bump make this party atmosphere track catchy and clever, fun, pop, rock, and creativity.

Violet Orlandi
Lack Of Meaning Brazil The show-stopping Brazilian star of social and stream is here with Birdeater, her brand new album. Violet Orlandi has millions of followers and streams, and everyone loves what she does with her songwriting. A blend of rock, alternative, and cinematic music bring a truly vast and moving combination of flows. Birdeater is the name of the new album and today we are featuring track three, Lack Of Meaning. Violet always wanted to compose original music by putting her own heart and soul into the words and progression. The album was recorded with live instruments and received minimal post-record processing, meaning we get the real sound and resonance. Produced by her husband, Ricardo Gifford, the work is a true home-made display of professionalism. A grinding, hollowing sound roils from the quiet before a funky groove unveils. Lyrics hit, slow, melodic, and rhythm focused, Violet dishes out the poetry as the bass warps and wefts in rippling sections. Guitars and synths tightly fold around the drums as the vocals create a colourful and emotional cloud of humanity. The rain of feeling makes the production wet, a splash and a drip of soul hits the machine and brings it to life. Crunchy distortion and operatic leaps of vocal create a classic rock feel endorsed by all the modern sensibility we find these days. Stunning really. Bonnie Tyler mark 2 perhaps. That’s not even cryptic. You can follow Violet Orlandi on Instagram TikTok and X 
Midniter
Alarmist Charlotte NC Indie electronic music with a dark pop flavour from Midniter, this latest track Alarmist is fearful of an oncoming authoritarianism. The important work of thinker and artist Nic Pugh, Midniter explores the themes of LGBTQ and liberal ideology, with side notes on the state of the nation. Written during January, around the time of Donald Trump’s inauguration, the music sets straight into panic mode. Let’s just say Nic didn’t vote red this time around. He feels that Trump is bringing authoritarianism and right-wing ethics that do nothing but create fear and division. Thankfully it’s not as bad as it seems as this song is legally released in the United States. In the land of individualism, finding full fascism is going to be difficult. Never-the-less, we all know what it feels like to be ignored by the people supposed to listen. Don’t be like that, that’s an order. Dreamy synth tones shine like sunshine, as a thumping bass begins to hit the pulse. The music is steady, relaxed, and contains colour within a minor key. Nic Pugh starts to sing, the vocals are like soul and pop, elements of Michael Jackson and Aerosmith become a force of their own with a unique and rock n roll sway that carries forward. The music leaps with a break as the verse chorus section completes its procedure, the crunch of rhythm under the foot of the bass keeps moving as the undertones throw the direction toward differing angles.

Keeping On (Featuring SEY.MOUR) London The London-based indie-rock fourpiece away fans are back in the stands with Keeping On. It features the timeless talents of SEY.MOUR, a fantastic singer whose voice fills gaps you didn’t know were there. They’ve been on somewhat of a world tour, with plenty of UK dates and a couple in New York, and now they’ve put pen to paper, vibration to computation, and mind to matter with this new single. Known for energetic and electrifying live guitar and drumming, Keeping On pushes the boat out with dance music elements combining with their synonymous sound. I don’t know about you, but I love experiments. When you’re playing at the away end sometimes you have to change things round a bit. A looped vocal bounces in with a digital effect. Then, hyperpop beats begin to sprawl out like ribbon development. Rattling beats and bursts of tone then bump up as the vocal smoothly opens out. A post-punk delivery takes the 80s right out of the box and puts it on the stereo. A party energy keeps the ball in the air as trick shots and little nudges revolve the sensations like juggling balls. A chip chop feel keeps the push of the rhythm tight as the music becomes looser for the vocals, sultry and friendly, the voice just wants us to have a good time. Elements of funk and disco then flow from the mix as the music rises in pressure, vocal harmonies and intense strumming spiral into silence.
