Joe Valentine – Free

For whatever reason, this track reminds me of the sound track to The Beach with Leonardo DiCaprio. Has that laid back chilled vibe that dominated that sound track which had the stand out track from Orbital. It’s probably the reversed string pad sound that kicks off this track and the spoken word. However we depart the tropical island in short order for a more rock infused chorus section that is catchy and infectious. Fans of Whitey will find plenty here to like as well.

Meg Smith – Cross My Heart I Hope U Die

A bit of Amy Winehouse vibe on this new track from Meg Smith. It’s has a chilled and sophisticated sound in the verse section and then gets a bit more groovy and a bit darker in the chorus. I really appreciate the pre-chrous line of ‘…boys like you’ and the pay off when the chorus does land. Now if the title of the track didn’t give it away, then rest assured the lyrics make it painfully obvious this not someone you want to tick off in a romantic way.

Ondist – So Fragile

The plucked strings and soft vocals have certain charm to them. And the music has a slow merry go-around feel about it. Put it together and you a song about love rotating away from the old lover to the new and all the insecurities that come with. The lead vocalist, Maya Coopola, has such a tender and melancholy tone to her voice. Corbin Dooley, Nick Poortman, and Maya Coppola are Ondist.
