We adore the cinematic tension at the core of Not Mine, the new single fromRuby Jones. Seeped in contrast, Jones where’s variable threads convincingly. Neil Young and Father John Misty haunt the verse section, while the chorus adapts with curious Beach Boys esque sixties pop influence. Its an exciting blend made exceptional by Ruby’s convincing performance. There’s an aura of mystery to her presence within this construct, with the lyrics adding a haunting trait. We love this release.

Henry Grace wears his influences on his sleeve on his recent Passing Through. Major War On Drugs vibes don’t feel that dirty when Grace adapts that influence with a little country rock flair. As if Mellencamp collaborate with TWOD on a heartland rock revival. You can hear some Springsteen in this mix too. It’s all stuff we adore, produced well by Grace and his team. Of course we want more of this, we love this style!

Jasmine Power shines on her new single Leap. Her exotic vibrato is enough to bring you to her music, but Power sets her sites on super stardom as a convincing star in the songs music video. From the costumery to this romantic mansion, everything works elegantly within the construct of the song. We hear hints of Florence Welsh and nineties dream pop within the aura of this song. Its altogether wonderful.

Marika Che caught our attention with her new single Saint Charles Avenue. The narrative finds Che trying to make sense at the crossroads of love. Her smooth voice is graced with a subtle lush hue. Its delicately smokey and refreshingly adaptable. She dictates this lyrical poetry with ease as clever production layers illuminate the atmosphere. Stylistically the production reminds us of Sufjan Stevens while her writing has an approachable indie pop essence. Its a sweet sentiment throughout.
