SADBOii – Avocado Toast

SADBOii channels his inner Robert Smith (of The Cure) on this new glimmering 80’s inspired tune. The music is 80’s synthpop and is full of dynamic energy. He sings about failing but never giving up on making his parents proud. In his own words, he writes: “I’m a singer, songwriter, musician, producer and creative who got sick of being signed to major labels. They said I should write less sadboy shit. So instead, I created SADBOii.” So the subject might be sad but the music itself is full of energy.

Dim Sum – Is It Fine

Laid back and sunny is the new Dim Sum track, ‘Is It Fine’. This is the first single from the up coming EP due out this September. The track is an indie electronic pop tune with jangly guitars and a heavy bass sound. The vocals are cool and relaxed and the vibe is just chill. Dim Sum is a producer from France.

The Lovepools – Cut Me Slack!

Reminds me a bit of MGMT meets Passion Pit with a pinch of Empire of the Sun. This energetic tune has a fun vocal melody that centers around the idea of childhood dreams yet to be realized and the strive to fulfill them. The synth parts remind me quite a bit of MGMT and how they have this swirling vibe to them. The vocals and harmonies are well done and fit the mood perfectly. Really dig the piano lead line in the chorus and the melody of it.
