Rey Pila – Drooling

Big nod to Gorillaz in both video and music. However, we are talking about Rey Pila here. Their brand of electronic pop / rock is all their own. This time around they have incorporated some dancehall vibes into the track. I love the rolling bassline that hits another level in the chorus with the snare that lands as well.

The video illustrates the symbolism of voodoo in relation to perils of fame and power.

Elliot Moss – I Heard!

Elliot Moss just released a catchy and hypnotic tune named ‘I Heard!’. Clever lyrics, a repetitive chord and a grooving bass is the framework for ‘I Heard!’. Elliot Moss had this to say about the track “‘I Heard’ is about being trapped by the idea of happiness. That there’s always something better for you, but you don’t know how to get it. Or can’t get it right now,”

I like the subtle effects on his vocals as well the sax that lands later in the track.

Deryk – Call You Out

Melody and voice on this one that stood out for me. New Zealand native deryk hits with passion and heart. Her vocals are smoky, lush and are backed by an atmosphere of hip hop beats and acoustic guitar. Some of here influences show through like Bjork and PJ Harvey. Certain moments in the track remind me of Unkle.
