Balthazar - Entertainment (Official Video)

If anyone knows their way around a luxurious melody line then it's Balthazar. Here they return with their official video to latest single Entertainment, taken from the band's forthcoming new album 'Fever' which is set to be released 25th January on Play It Again Sam. Deeply exotic, with a hint of mystery and allurement, their sound is like no other and dives straight in to your head with its infectious rhythms. "Entertainment" was written at the end of the album recordings as one of the last songs, functioning as the loose uplifting tune celebrating a carefree take in an entertainment business. We wrote an ambitious album but tried not to take ourselves too seriously, sure it's an outspoken singalong chorus, but there's a rambling playfulness to it which we love." Take a listen/watch for yourselves below.

Emmit Fenn - Yellow

Off the back from collaborating with Vic Mensa and Billie Eilish, alongside having his music synced into an Apple Iphone advert, Emmit Fenn returns with his rather emotionally charged new single Yellow. Putting his unique spin on the classic Coldplay track, the Berkeley, CA based artist delivers a stunning rendition with pulsating synth melodies and a driving piano line that resonates throughout. Explaining, Fenn goes on to say, "I mean the story is I saw crazy rich asians the movie, and the last song in the movie is this asian cover of Yellow, and I was like.....”god this is horrible” but it was stuck in my head and then just decided to do a whole cover of it".

aiwake - Palm City

Back with an ethereally charged soundscape, Toronto-based duo aiwake return with their latest single, Palm City. A track of two halves. From splintered disconsolate soul to an uplifting side through searing vocals, the pair unveil an RnB-tinge to their mix making this their most immersive experience yet. Explained in their press release "Palm City is an introspective look at the chaotic downtown modern dating scene. The rushing, burning and evolving synth work is driven by an off kilter bounce made as a moving backdrop for the metaphoric lyrics and ambient vocal. The song is an exploration into the peaks and valleys of having short intense relationships, while feeling lonely in a crowd". Jump in to its multi-layered catharsis below.

Emilie Kahn - Island (Official Video)

Returning with news of her second album entitled 'Outro', Emilie Kahn unveils the sparkling first cut, Island. Dropping the moniker she was formerly known as (Emilie & Ogden), the songwriter and instrumentalist stand free from hidden agendas as she reveals her innermost thoughts and feelings. "I think as women we are often made to feel like we should be in competition with each other, something I’ve always felt in the music industry; I wrote ‘Island’ about that feeling of isolation that comes with worrying that you may never be special enough", explains Kahn, "Marie-Soleil Denault - the video’s director - and I decided to subvert that narrative and portray a vision of women finding refuge in solidarity instead." Take a watch for yourselves below. 'Outro' will be available released Feb 22nd 2019 via Secret City Records.
