Song of the Day: Raphaella – Fall
Review:
Raphaella is another promising, upcoming artist in the electronic indie pop scene. Although this genre is quite crowded these days, this young woman from English, Scottish and Persian descent, knows exactly how to set herself apart from the rest with an interesting and eclectic mix of styles in her music. In the biography on her website she expains how she wants to incorporate her dual heritage into herĀ art and this becomes clear when listening to the pretty fabulous new solo single, called ‘Fall’.
Song of the Day: Colour The Atlas – Scared
I don’t know how it is for you people all around the world, but in Amsterdam the weather is quite stormy and rainy at the moment. Luckily, I came across a song that perfectly fits the mood that comes with this weather. It is called ‘Scared’, performed by the band Colour The Atlas. The four piece is promoting the release of their new EP called Amethyst and ‘Scared’ is a first and very promising taste of the sound. If you are a fan of emotional duets with an exceptionally dark and moody atmosphere by an alternative/triphop act with pop hooks, then by all means check this out.
Introducing: Jerusa
Indie pop talent from Amsterdam ready for big break
It is always great to discover new music from a very close source. This happened when I first came across the new music of singer and songwriter Jerusa. This up and coming indie pop artist from Amsterdam is preparing the release of her first EP later this spring. So far, she launched the quite diverse range of singles ‘Shadowland’, ‘Lay It Down’ and ‘Rabbit Hole’ which are all equally promising and exciting. Let me introduce you to potentially the Netherlands’ next big pop singer-songwriter: Jerusa van Lith.
Interview Urban Cone: ‘We love to experiment with animal sounds in our songs!’
The guys of the Swedish indiepop band Urban Cone are supporting their colleague and friend Tove Lo on her European tour at the moment and I had the chance to interview them during their short visit in Amsterdam. Their second album Polaroid Memories is ready for release (29 April in Sweden and Germany, other territories early May) and it is needless to say Rasmus (vocals, guitar, keyboard), Emil (vocals, bass), Jacob (keyboard), Magnus (drums) and Tim (guitar) are proud and excited. I chatted with them about the tough times they had creating this album, dolphin sounds, the Swedish pop scene and working with Tove Lo.
