BRAND NEW

It's time to meet RoseeLu, a 19-year-old Danish newcomer who is ready to rock your world with her music. We have just got to listen to her single "Playing alone", and we are completely addicted to it! It's a song that has a unique raw power, reminiscing '90s alternative music and grunge, genres which she grew up listening to.

"Even though it sounds cliché, I really hope to inspire anyone who listens to embrace their inner child and cherish it. 'Playing alone' is my appeal to those who think kids are wrong if they – like me – are not into commercial toys and football trading cards, but are totally fine contemplating with themselves in their own company – which is OK and super healthy", RoseeLu explains.

United Kingdom | Silvertwin - "Ploy"

RECENT

Silvertwin are a British band from London, formed by Isaac Shalam, and including Alicia Barisani, Dan Edery, Lauric Mackintosh and Antonio Naccache. Think of the best rock songs from the '60s and '70s, and then listen to "Ploy": the same spirit is present in it. We are having chills while listening to it, time after time!

"'Ploy' is kind of about the insecurity or paranoia that comes with a blooming relationship", says Shalam. "I suppose initially I thought of the riff as my attempt at trying to write something Beach Boys-esque by having simple chords but a bass line that moved back and forth. It was a new style of song-writing for me as up until then I'd mostly used guitar, but I wanted to begin using piano as the anchor for the songs I was working on at the time."

RECENT
