Boko Yout and boerd reaffirm that the brilliance is automatic with the release of their new EP Griot The EP includes several great previously released singles and the new stand out jam Sooky Sooky. The track stands out as a dark brooding dose of chill pop.
It adds another dynamic to their stylistic layered cake in way that reflects artists like Billie Eilish and their ability to adapt convincingly while always feeling like they’re revolving around a central aesthetic sun. It’s a testament to this collaboration and how both artists embellish their character without ever trailing derivative.

Bethany Gray is lucid on her convincing new single Wink. Her vibrant recollections walk you through cinematic memories that infiltrate like existential keepsakes. It’s the kind of moments that keep her on track and remind her to honor her younger self as the perils of adulthood and trivial expectations weigh on her soul. You feel that doom lurking as she tempts dark melodic pivots while more uplifting details sparkle in an effort to return the vibe back to warmer rays of hope. As if to keep her life, and this narrative, on track.
The sun sets in the songs final moments as reality takes over. It’s that detail that pulls her out of the realm of Lizzie McAlpine and more appropriately within the company of Mitski or Big Thief. Bethany Gray offers an alteration to that movement with and indie folk style smooth delivery and some Sufjan Stevens inspired resonance. We simple adore Wink.

Mary Jennings caught our attention with her new single Sad. Blending an infectious pop appeal with an underground scope of influence, Jennings elegantly bridges the gap between artists like Imogen Heap and more conventional realms of indie pop. You can also hear an influence of experimental icon Kate Bush.
Jennings has her own rare exotic vocal delivery, adding a cinematic reverence to her electro pop tendencies. We can dig it.
