UK-based singer-songwriter Marti West is back with another single, which he has named ‘Somebody New’. The track is the second one he has released in 2023, and, for Marti, the year is still young. He has informed us that he will be releasing a new album on the 28th of April, where listeners will find the already shared song ‘Nobody Knows Me (Like You)’ as well as his latest offering.

Stream ‘Somebody New’ on Spotify – iTunes

The track brings to mind a coming-of-age feeling. There is an angsty mood to the whole deal. Like a spotlight, lively drums light up the performance. A steady texture of guitar strum moves listeners towards the song’s brassy climax. That is, a brass section jives to the rhythm of Marti’s heart, giving us something to move to.

Ezra Veda releases harmonious debut song ‘A Brand New Day’

The first time Ezra Veda started creating music was during her high school period. In the school band, it became clear that she had a beautiful voice. Soon the first proposals came from the music industry to write songs and specially to sign with them. The then-teenager let it all happen resignedly. “I’d better finish my studies first and then I’ll see what else comes my way,” was her answer.

A few years later, the time has come. The now 22-year-old releases her first single ‘A Brand New Day’. A beautiful pop song in which Ezra’s voice is perfectly at home.

The single opens small and subdued and grabs you from the start and then slowly opens and guides you to an apotheosis to return to a sensitive outro. Before you know it, you’re at the end of the song and you think, hold on wait a minute, and you’ll listen to it again.

Florian Picasso’s new song ‘What’s The Next Move’ is mischievous

House producer Florian Picasso has plotted to release a new single and delivered on his promise with his latest record ‘What’s The Next Move’, which has been signed with the new label imprint La Californie Musique, presumably named after the late Pablo Picasso’s home in France, a residence by the name of Villa La Californie. But how does this relate to Florian, you might ask? Well, as his surname suggests, he is the artist’s great-grandson, so it is only fitting that he continues the legacy of the Picasso name.

Stream / Download: Florian Picasso – ‘What’s The Next Move’

His new record misbehaves. A disembodied voice urges us not ‘get caught’. Like a conversation between two troublemakers, the vocals call to a well-meaning but rule-breaking part that exists in all of us. And to bolster this naughty quality, the producer draws out tense builds with alarming energy before dive-bombing into a pool of crisp hats that float on a shimmering surface of the higher frequency ranges.

French-Canadian musician Super Plage releases bubbly song ‘Laurence’

Super Plage is back with another light-hearted record (read our feature on his song ‘Forêt magique’ here), a feel-good tune titled ‘Laurence’. Released with the label Lisbon Lux Records, the track is a teaser of the musician’s forthcoming LP Magie à minuit, which will be released on the 31st of March, making it the fourth album he has released after his projects Super Plage I, Super Plage II, and Électro-Vacances. Without further ado, onto the single.

Stream / Download: Super Plage – ‘Laurence’

First, you may be asking, who is Laurence? We don’t know, but we sure do enjoy the personality that this French-Canadian producer brings to the table. Giving us no clues, he tells us, “Laurence is a song for Laurence. It is a little bit punk like Laurence and a little bit melancholic like Laurence. It is also a song to party to.” We can’t help but smile at his playful attitude.

His music has an effortlessness to it. It’s easy listening. Despite being sung in French, listeners needn’t speak the language to catch what Super Plage is throwing. He has managed to distil the memories of a night out into a heady elixir of gliding synths, subtle drums, and gentle vocal delivery.
