Hot New Artists & Cool New Singles - July 21st, 2023

Emmi Maaria - Midsummer Silence (Self Release)

Blessed with a great voice & viola playing ability that can only be developed by starting young, Maaria also has a pleasing disregard for classical tradition. Here she embarks on an epic slice of string powered singer songwriting that should upset the purists as much as it pleases me - orchestral drama,  stylistic deviance & out the box vocals, I'm all in.

Sunkissed Child & Telica - Palate Cleanser (A Come Play With Me)

Sunkissed Child remarkably makes her French vocal debut, effortlessly flipping between UK street style & rather more sultry Parisian chic to fine & fresh effect. Coupled with Telica laying down some cool like ice, chopped up jazz beatage & you've got a laid back, fine & funktified summer jam. Find them warming up the Slow Pop Playlist.

e c h o boomer - Sundance

Not quite sure what's going on here but being as one of e c h o boomer's aims is to surprise the audience, I'd say they're doing a good job. So strap in to this electro jazzing pop rocking flight of fusion fantasy, try not to think too hard where you'd file it in a record shop & enjoy the ride.

Metro Riders - Spasm (Possible Motive)

Spending a lot of time blowing dust off forgotten music gear & long forgotten software, Metro Riders put their electro-archaeological efforts to good effect, seemingly soundtracking surrealy empty, late nite cityscapes, low lit, shady looking, graffiti blessed backstreets & pasty skinned nocturnal characters that most people will never know exist. Find them right at home in the Slowtronic Playlist.

Emily Nicole Green - Wreckage (A Little Bit of Light)

Powerful & true vocals, original songs & an obviously accomplished group of musicians in full flow have got Green's fledgling career off to a fine start. To be honest it's a touch familiar Americana singer songwriter sounding but if you're not innovating - & let's face it not many do, then you better do it well & she sure as hell does that. One to watch.
Find her in the Slow Pop Playlist.
