Jessica Wilde's new slab of social commentary 'Here Right Now' set to heavy soul funk will send you Wild(e)!

Now I don't know what it is about Jessica but she's one of those artists who'll appear on the scene and just knows how to make great records. Either that or there's something in the local water supply. Here Right Now is a great track.

Loose beat poetry fused with ravaged vocals on new Michele Ducci single - 'Hic'!

Italian artist Michele's new single, Hic, has an almost haunting quality about it in that it's raspy and whispering in your ear, but then again that's probably where the genius of it is. Hic entices you in and makes you want to listen further. I'm rather intrigued myself

The video is just as intriguing as the song, has that traveling feel to it.

Kaya Hoax flourishes with hypnotic new single "Kicker" out today!

And I am absolutely hooked on it myself. Kaya's rapping and singing combo definitely gets my attention right from the start. I haven't heard a vast amount from her but even I think she's got quite a bit going for her. Kicker is a gem

Has that urban grittiness look to it which fits the mood of the song. A good video

Rich Ruth shares new single 'Crying In The Trees' + video - new album 'Water Still Flows' out June 21st on Third Man Records

This is actually a really good track and is really powerful to. One of the things I enjoy about it is that it relies entirely on the rhythms made by the instruments. There’re no vocals whatsoever but it's how strongly everything comes together. I enjoy the slight gothic feel in the music

Sabrina Carpenter - Espresso 

Heard this today and it got my attention just like that, and I am fully impressed by it. I hadn't heard of this American/Canadian singer before but will admit that she is starting to grow on me a little.

As a song, Espresso makes a decent dance track and tempts you to move your feet
