Hailing from the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia, Jacob enjoys the title of the first NFT musician in Australia coupled with recognition from numerous tastemaker publications including Clash Magazine, Music Feeds and Rolling Stone India just to mention a few.

The track entices the auditory senses like a members-only club that only serves aged wine.
Jacob Lee elaborates on his personal connection with the new song with these words: “Sick & Tired’ could be one of my most important songs yet. Iterating my perspective on the modern world, I packaged this essential message in a chill, ethereal track”.
Toronto, ON – On November 11, emerging Canadian pop artist Josh Alexander is set to release his inspiring new EP Forevermore via Believe Canadaand all streaming platforms.
Produced by up-and-coming Johan Modrin, the six-track EP is daring, beautiful and brave. Within it, Josh has created a lyrical sensation that drives pop through the bass of a heartbeat, plucking those strings with each melody.
Forevermore takes a trip from a heartfelt opening on “Sincerely, Josh” to Hurricane, a driving pop anthem that was released earlier this year and is a homage to loved ones enduring hard times. The EP’s title track, “Forevermore”, is a perfect exit from this uplifting, creative twist on trendsetting vibrations, encapsulating emotions of undeniable love, power and vulnerability.
“This collection of songs is a letter to the ones I love,” says Josh Alexander. “I put my whole heart into this EP, and I can’t wait to bring you all on this journey with me, Forevermore.”
Before settling in Montreal, Josh was born and raised in a Latin Canadian household in Quebec City. The young creative has always surrounded himself with music and grew up constantly singing cover songs from his favourite acts including Coldplay and John Legend. Since his debut on Quebec singing competitionLa Voix, Josh’s passion for music has led him through various adventures, with the song Je serai là featured in the children’s film La coursedes Tuques. Later in 2019, Josh Alexander released Level Up which was just the beginning for this rising Quebec pop artist. With a voice that ties range and authenticity into a mesmerizing dance, this hot new artist is on the rise across Canada.
Norwegian electronic producer Sindresu has shared his new pop song ‘Daydream’. The record reminds us of the emotional tunes of the mega-hit producer Kygo. It’s as if the record begins in the middle, and we are thrown into the deep end, left to swim in the producer’s optimistic production. Built around a strong lead vocal, all of the instruments work together to serve a sweet and chewy centre, making for a song that is both concise and clean.
Turning a negative into a positive, Sindresu tells us about the obstacles that inspired the upbeat track, saying that “daydream is about escaping reality during dark times and is inspired by a difficult period in my life. I experienced serious burnout, which left me with declined health for a time. This song tells the story of being stuck in an unfulfilling life and dreaming of better days”.
Based in the capital of Sweden, the Stockholm resident has been involved in the world of music since he was 5 years old. As a child, he learned to play the violin and continued to explore sound by learning to jam 6 strings. With experience playing the guitar, violin, and even piano, he now tinkers with bits of Tropical House and bobs of Pop.
German alternative/dark-pop quartet Letters Sent Home have released their mighty new single ‘Fire’, taken from their upcoming new EP, Fire In Me, released 2nd December via new label home of Hassle Records.
celebration of the news, LettersSent Home has also announced its debut UK live performance: the group will be supporting alt-rockers Blackout Problems at London’s Black Heart on 16th November.
The band comment: ““Fire” is a perfect introduction into that new mindset as it portrays a world full of hatred which can only be saved through love – the love we feel and especially give. “The fire in me is burning me to the ground”, meaning only love will be the end of me. I will not die with hatred in my heart.”
Fire In Me will be available as a limited vinyl release of 200 copies, pressed on crystal clear vinyl and handnumbered and signed by the band. Available exclusively from the Hassle Records store, the physical EP features new versions of Letters Sent Home‘s hit ‘Misery Loves Company, including a stripped-back version.
Letters Sent Home was formed in 2017 in Wolfsburg, based on the close bonds of friendship of Emily, Lara and Robin, quickly finding a fourth member in drummer Louis. The band began their journey fully in 2020 with their first single ‘Mosaic Mirror’ – and the process that the band have lived through can be described as a rollercoaster, full of highs and lows.
Driven by courageous ambition, Letters Sent Home came closer to their goals with their first, self-titled EP in late 2020, which served as the foundation for an incredibly successful 2021.
The group’s second EP, Misery Loves Company, offered a greater expansion of sound, but also two top-class guest features, underlining the band’s increasing heft. Besides Being As An Ocean‘s Joel Quartuccio, Letters Sent Home also teamed up with Halflives singer Linda Battilani. Both post-hardcore-infused alternative rock songs, they sit alongside the band’s synth-laden dark-pop influences, showcasing a fine modern pop-rock sound.
The Misery Loves Company EP led to national attention across key alternative media outlets and an ever-growing fanbase, as well as Hassle Records, their new label home for the third EP Fire In Me. A stunning listen, it’s a fine demonstration of Letters Sent Home‘s non-conforming rock sound and its strong lyrical identity.
Thematically the band touch on the topic of mental health, and vocalist Emily’s personal experiences. The band raise awareness on these themes not just through their music but with initiatives such as their Helpless But Hopeful Festivals and accompanying podcast.
Having now signed with established London-based independent label Hassle Records, Letters Sent Home look set to establish themselves as one of the most promising acts to watch out for over the coming year – new EP Fire In Mecoming December 2022, with the quartet already working on crafting their debut album.
