Eden Dawn - 2:22 A.M.
A bluesy, mid-tempo, piano-backed Electronic Pop track with low pass filtered, Downtempo influenced drums and a spacey, panning, airy synth soundscape led by soulfully melancholic vocals that bring just enough dramatic tension to the song.
Jangus Kangus - Sunrise (I Wanna Be Loved)
An Indie Pop track with warm, super fuzzy, analog chords and buzzing, ringing synth melodies with a backing of bass and snappy, understated percussion led by soft, dreamy, almost otherworldly vocals that glide over the mix but also deliver a memorable chorus.
Alivenique - Year of the Statement
An Electronic Pop track with somewhat minimal but detailed, punchy, and left-field production featuring textured, melodic percussion and buzzing bass led by filtered, sometimes autotuned vocals that bring an unusual, exhilarating, almost sporadic energy to the track.
Eurotoire, Raveloe & Tamara van Esch - Figures
A meaningful Indie Rock / Indie Folk track with layered production featuring muted acoustic guitars, panning synth chords, rhythmic bass, violin, and snappy percussion led by subdued, quietly intense lead vocals that are backed by a chorus of voices which deliver a shouted chant that gives the song a memorable edge.
Lyda - creepycrawly
An atmospheric Electronic track with delayed, breathy, almost whispered vocals backed with a wide, ghostly soundscape that keeps the tension up throughout and features low-key, clear percussion, bass, rising synths, eerie lead synths, and pulsating chords.
besomethingsoft - Solar Trance
A minimal but well-produced, hypnotic Dance / Electronic track with looping, detailed, crisp percussion, dark pulsing synths, and bewitching, dynamic vocals that switch up throughout but continue the immersive vibe that all adds up to a euphoric and entrancing song.
EM The Master - Bite
A unique, well-composed, dramatic, gothic leaning Rock track led by the eccentric, colourful performance that sells the narrative of the track very well backed with piano, guitar, bass, and percussion with everything coming together for a particularly punchy chorus.
Ruby Walvin - Minus Five
A slow, swaying Indie track with a dreamy and nostalgic vibe backed with acoustic arpeggios, wavering chords, bass, strings, and steady, impactful drums and led by the pleasant but melancholic vocals that deliver sweet and nicely written lyrics.
Lewwab - late for us
A somewhat low-key but nicely produced Electronic / Dance track with a filtered, chopped and looped vocal passage and hooky watery, percussive melodies with a backing of buzzing, panning synths, fuzzy, low chords, and low-passed rhythmic drums.
Shuna Lovelle - You've Got to Go
A well-arranged and performed R&B / Rock / Pop track with bright keys, low, bluesy piano chords, wide, soft, repeating synth chords on the chorus, and slow rhythmic bass and percussion backing the soulful, nicely delivered vocals that lead the song wonderfully.
Fritz Hutchison & BodaciousThang - Ladder Shake
A catchy, fun and instantly enjoyable Rock & Roll track with great momentum and a nice progression that leads to fantastic vocal interplay between the two singers backed with acoustic guitar, bass, dynamic percussion, horns, and nifty lead guitar.
Test Card Girl - Fly
A nicely composed Electronic Pop track with warm synth arpeggios, pizzicato strings, and low key percussion that progresses at the halfway point with more rhythmic, downtempo influenced head-bopping percussion and additional synth layers all led by the catchy, pleasant, classical, and choral inspired vocal melodies.
Lizzie Esau - Shade of Green
A Rock track with a heavy, rhythmic baseline, head-bopping percussion, and overdriven guitar led by the impressively dynamic vocals that keep the track fresh and interesting by delivering cool verses, a melancholic, sing-along chorus, and a nicely layered bridge.
Bella Rose - Messed Up For You
A slow Electronic Pop / R&B track with nice production that perfectly balances sweet elements with a bit of edge and features strings, twinkly synth lines, low throbbing bass, and filtered drums led by the dreamy, soulful vocals that bridge the different parts together in a cohesive way.
Clare Estelle - Scattered Dreams
A well-composed, classically inspired track with Folk elements featuring memorable and pretty piano lines, panning strings, woodwind, plucked notes, and emotional, mesmerising, soft, intimate vocals that match the delicate backdrop wonderfully while bringing a nice sonic element to the song too.
Evie Asio - Turning Time
A compelling piano-backed ballad led by front and centre, dynamic, beautiful, powerful vocals that benefit from the relatively simple but impactful backing which allows the lead vocals and the chorus of backing vocals to take the spotlight at the right moments.
Parabola West - No One Can Get Me Here
A memorable Folktronica track with quaint, plucked acoustic notes, fuzzy bass, and textured percussion led by the catchy, almost whimsical vocals that effectively juxtapose the dark undertones of the production to create an otherwordly mystical vibe.
Iris Marlowe - Make up Your Mind
A Country / Americana / Folk track arranged in a nicely alternative way that features banjo, fiddle, acoustic guitar, bass and light percussion which are led by the melancholic but direct vocals that give the song a cool edge and deliver an especially hooky chorus.
