We dig the rare groovy energy FKJ brings to their vibe. Their recent single I Want U with Allen Kane fits the mold. Creatively infectious, nostalgic, and curious; I Want U tastes like forbidden fruit. You can trace the influence but FKJ still finds that narrow lane to keep this vibe fresh. Fans of D’Angelo, Al Green, and classic seventies soul singers like Jean Carne will relish in this vibe!

Courtlyn Carr caught our attention with her new single False Alarm. Remnants of Ryan Adams and Sam Fender find their Taylor Swift influence on this dynamic release. A clever underlying piano part brings sneaky nostalgia and adds to the inviting blend. Carr makes you want to dance while keeping you immersed in the narrative of the song. False Alarm is a journey and a solid introduction from the emerging songwriter.

Sophia James knows how to write a catchy song. Their new single Finish What You Started revives memories of the nineties fantastic, while adding some refreshing modern edge to that vibe. James sings with a sense of disdain in contempt of nineties ignorant bliss. In that manner she blends the worlds of Third Eye Blind, Alanis Morisette, and Ethel Cain. We love that approach.

The Fourth Wall has been corrupted by the onslaught of Future Memory. Conflicting layers blend seemlessly as crashing drums fight against the melodic rotations offered by the guitar. Its melodically lush but refreshingly complicated in its design. The vocals smooth effortless touch glues it all together. Stylistcally we hear shades of Sufjan Stevens, Elliot Smith, and The Shins. We love that vibe.
