Floyd Patterson. Once the youngest heavyweight champion before coming to be the called “the Loser.” A story like this deserve such a rare tribute. It comes courtesy of Motivation, the new singel from Einsam. The project was inspired by this story to produce this song. The result is glorious.
There’s a metaphysical soulful aura to this vibe, one that imagines the mental training it took to break through the noise. Stylistically it should connect with fans of Lo Moon and Hozier. We love it.

Oscar and The Wolf capture an infectious vibe on their recent Pretty Little Thing. The catchy nature is undeniable. It’s amplified by the eccentric energy heard in the singers amplified falsetto. They dig into every note with inspired conviction.
They update the influence of MGMT , Child Gambino, or even Ween with a modern alt pop sonic sensibility. The stylistic flex endures til the songs final moments, as the artist keeps the melody fresh. Modern alt pop with a true Motown touch. We want all of it.

Isabella&Sebastian are on to something special with their new single Jellyfruit. A pop sensibility collides with an academic prowess on this impressive performance. This is how we imagine Demi and JD Beck would benefit from a collaboration with Hayley Williams. In that way Isabella&Sebastian carve out a rare niche for indie pop.
Crazy catchy with a chance to flesh out this jam live, Jellyfruit has room to run. The video is fun too. Get into it.

Avery Fortune is getting to know the drag of Seasons. This coming of age tirade bears the wear of a life passing by. It suits her furious nature. There’s a reclamation to this performance, as Avery conjures the experience of taking control.
The artist tallies the emotions that brought her to this breakthrough. The arrangement is spectacular too, as the staggered design adds to the dramatic flash. Stylistically she finds the middle ground between Jeff Buckley and Ani Difranco. Hell Yeah.
