saaccharine - “ghoststory”

Don’t you just love a good ghost story? We sure do. If it isn’t the bit of melancholy that hits the soul or the delightful memory of a loved one, there is something in a ghost story that resonates within us all. Saccharine takes just that feeling and explores it in their latest track “ghoststory”. The goal of the track was to create something “sexy and haunting” all at the same time. Saccharine achieves this goal by layering warm echoey vocals over a consistently laid-back Latin-inspired groove. Saccharine explores the imagery of a ghost floating around with cutting guitar riffs that bounce from eardrum to eardrum. This laid-back groove is haunting yet completely comforting all at once. Do your spirit the service of falling into the "ghoststory".

Freeds - “Fuzzy”

We all need to feel a little warm and fuzzy sometimes. And with Freeds, creating that feeling is no problem. Freeds comes to us in the form of psychedelic guitars and easy-going lyrics with his latest single “Fuzzy”. Freeds discovered that creativity has always lived within him. From a young age growing up in Bondi Beach, to building his identity piece by piece in Melbourne. His music sheds light on his journey with mental health. Somehow his music still comes out sunny and optimistic, reminding us all that there’s a little light at the end of the tunnel. Freeds is the perfect new artist for fans of the upbeat grooves of Still Woozy, the vibe of Rex Orange County, and of course, The Beatles. So, enjoy this little piece of sonic sunshine in your summer listening seshes. 

ANITA - “On Me”

With a creative concept like no other, ANITA takes you for a visual and musical journey with her latest track “On Me”. Capturing us with her sultry vocals and smooth dance moves, the rising artist manages to keep us glued each note of “On Me”. With a catchy beat moving the track along, ANITA’s confident vocals remain the star player of the track, allowing her range to be felt throughout the entire song. It only takes one round of the chorus to quickly get stuck in your head - you’ll find yourself repeating “It’s on me” all day long.

Chase Plato - “ Stranger Than Fiction”

Artists in 2022 know no boundaries, and artists like 19-year-old Chase Plato continues to break down any walls around him. The Detroit-based produce, rapper and songwriter taps into the interaction of hip-hop and hyper pop to create a unique, ear-catching sound. “STRANGER THAN FICTION” hones in on those array of sounds while blending them together for the Chase Plato sound. Paired with an equally alluring and creative video, “STRANGER THAN FICTION” is a short but sweet introduction into Chase Pluto.

Later. - “Back To Heaven”

Within just a few notes, it’s clear that the catchy nature of “Back To Heaven” will land a spot on your playlist. Climbing up the French and now American music scene, Later. finds a fun combination of pop and 70s rock to create an upbeat and charming melody. Taking us into an office-based narrative for the video, Later. showcases their never ending creativity through their latest release “Back To Heaven”.

Peter The Human Boy - “Nobody Needs To Be Lonely”

Vienna based Peter The Human Boy gives us the guitars we’ve been craving this week with sweet track “Nobody Needs To Be Lonely”. The down to earth rockers take us for a smooth journey thanks to the surf rock and dream pop nature of the track. With strong instrumental and vocalist Peter Mathis taking the center stage of the track, “Nobody Needs To Be Lonely” is remincest of Mac Demarco, putting you a feel good mood. “Nobody Needs To Be Lonely” is the first track for the changing weather and puts us in our summer mood.

“I know it sounds cheesy, but music makes me feel so whole & gives me such a genuine & unfiltered joy. When you do something you love, the internal pressure of “having to make it” lessens because success becomes redefined. Success is getting up in the morning and knowing I get to make music today.” - kristiane 💓 🎶Her latest EP ‘I Miss Myself’ serves as an incredible insight into the growing artist’s talents & passion.
