Now Listening: This Week's Tracks
New Sense - “Watch the Stars Fall”
New Sense's “Watch the Stars Fall” is a brilliantly beautiful song, invoking feelings of nostalgia and transporting the listener to a different place. With dreamy vocals and a retro feel to it, the track perfectly matches its music video, which is a psychedelic experience involving starry skies and silhouettes.
Speaking of the creation of “Watch the Stars Fall”, New Sense says, “The song is the product of a lot of late night sessions with 38_hrtz, a man I met at community college. I would do most of the production work but he would shoot me ideas for the song that I would never have thought of. He is the one singing the chorus as well.”
With “Watch the Stars Fall”, New Sense stuns and reaches new highs, making the listener feel like a part of something bigger than themselves.

Riches - “Fantasy Chapel”
Riches' latest song, “Fantasy Chapel” puts together distinctive sonic elements to create a tune that hooks you from the very first second. The track is a stunning manifestation of an ongoing dialogue between Catherine McCandless of Young Galaxy and choreographer Wynn Holmes.

filous & The Kooks - “Hey Love”
Joined by The Kooks, 22-year-old Austrian artist, Filous, created a summer song that emits a carefree feeling, the way summer always feels. The melodic yet youthful melody that “Hey Love” brings is what makes this song the kind of song you’ll constantly think about throughout the day. It feels like a warm hug yet feels like the feeling you get when you’ve realized how happy you are at the moment. Giving us these feelings just makes us excited for what Filous has to bring to music, “Hey Love” is just one of the singles from his forthcoming project, alongside “Monday” and “Bicycle.” Filous is a visionary, constantly experimenting and creating, which in turn only makes his sound evolve and be unique to himself. He’s someone to be keeping an eye (or ear really) on.
Rook Monroe - “Jolie”
Upbeat and catchy, Rook Monroe's debut single “Jolie” is the perfect tune to dance to– one that stands out as organic and finely crafted. The song, a collaboration with Trackside (Tinashe, BabyJake, Selena Gomez) is a part of Rook Monroe's upcoming self-written project, created through a year-long process of musical discovery.
Despite Jolie being Rook Monroe's first original release, he has already built himself a space in the industry, having penned down Rihanna's critically acclaimed “Desperado”, amongst other songs from Jeremih to The Chainsmokers.
