MAY - Baby Save Me Tonight

Following on from sharing her previous single Falling last month, New York vocalist May returns with her stunning new arrangement, Baby Save Me Tonight. Spacious and effortlessly indulgent, the new single demonstrates her fragility in songwriting delivered in a contrasting, powerful way. "There is a beautifully devout sense of longing in Baby Save Me Tonight, met with an honest, but tongue-in-cheek kind of cynicism" explains May. "For me it is cathartic and sentimental to perform in many ways and I love how it feels like conversations I had whilst writing it in the heart of Montreal in the fall last year". Take a listen for yourselves below. Her debut EP, out later this year will be released via Best Laid Plans.

PLUM - Out Of Love

Photo credit: Michelle Homonylo

I don't know a whole lot about PLUM but what I do know is they're making some incredibly exciting synth-pop. Returning with their new single, the band uncloak a glistening melody that underpins singer Rachael Kross' ethereally pleasing vocals. "We decided that we wanted ‘Out of Love’ to be our first music video because it showcases many of the elements of our overall sound compiled into one song." explain the outfit. "The contrast between the driving synths, upbeat rhythm, and ethereal vocals sends the listener into a wave of nostalgic euphoria of a summer love that’s burning out.". Out Of Love is taken from PLUM's upcoming EP entitled 'D.R.I.P' which will be released this Friday September 21st. Take a listen below.

MAX RAD - Rumours

London newcomer MAX RAD returns today with his stunning new single Rumours. Doused in rousing electronica, the track ebbs and flows with real purpose towards its swanky choruses, dipping you into and out of soulful euphoria. Of the track, Max says - "It’s about the power of words and how they can be so destructive. How much chaos can come from something said". Take a listen for yourselves below.

Kelsy Karter - God Knows I've Tried

God Knows I've Tried is the first taste of Kelsey Karter's music and most certainly won't be the last after today. With her huge powerhouse vocals and swelling instrumentation, the LA native sure knows a thing or to about crafting infectious empowering pop hooks and here goes to show that in fine fashion. "I wasn't a bad kid, but i was a mischievous one. I hung out with boys with long hair, spilled milk alot and loved jumping to the wrong side of the tracks now and then" Karter explains. "My dream was to join the circus and make music and love and experience absolute chaos all of the time. I embrace who I am and I want the kids to follow suit. G.K.I.T music video is 3.37minutes of time travel visiting "little karter" and then coming into my world now - Me and my band makin rock&roll, makin love and spilling milk wherever we go". Take a listen for yourselves with the official video streaming below.

Hannah's Little Sister - 20

New Liverpool four-piece Hannah's Little Sister have unveiled their beautifully raucous debut single with an accompanying video courtesy of friend Beebo Boobin. Full of quirky vocal traits and thrashing guitars that endeavour to swallow you up, spitting out the half-eaten leftovers, 20's kick-ass sound is a breath of fresh air to a scene that's so often draped in repetition and mediocrity. Anyone who's gone through their twenties will know all too well the awkward coming of age phase where you're expected to act like an adult but know nothing of the sort and here the band capture that effortlessly. Take a watch below as they celebrate in true party fashion with balloons, squirty cream, hats and a Colin the Caterpillar cake whilst all the time getting messy having the time of their lives.

Cyrus Reynolds - Foraker ft. S. Carey

There's things in life just go better together. Fish and chips. Pen and paper. Wine and cheese. The list is pretty endless. Returning last week Cyrus Reynolds unveiled his wonderful collaboration with S. Carey which adds another fine pair to it. Having not previously met, but introduced through a mutual friend, the two began working together and instantly produced magic. "Carey came on to the song through a mutual friend I've written a couple of orchestral songs with, Ivan Howard, who knew Sean through Bon Iver. Once we spoke about the project, he recorded the vocals and it immediately had all of this vibe and character; introspection and the kind of joy you want to shout off a cliff." "It was our first time meeting and working together, but I know Sean must have really connected with the message - because he really just got the song in every way. The song had a place and a heart, and then S. Carey came in and gave it a pulse and a new life". Take a listen for yourselves below.



The new single Foraker is out now on Dumont Dumont.
