Experience the enchanting and ethereal vocal musings of NY-based songstress-producer Mothica on the sublimely atmospheric track “Visions”; which was produced earlier this year by Diversa yet only just released. Diversa, who is one of several producers to recently collaborate with the superbly talented newcomer Mothica, excels with “Visions” as he simply and beautifully highlights the pure seduction of her remarkable voice with an artful combination of melodic acoustic accents and an irresistibly catchy, repetitive synthy beat. Stay tuned for more amazing music, dynamite collaborations and original productions from Mothica and be sure to check Soundcloud for her excellent new track “Molt” with UK electro heavy Bear//Face.

“The Love You’re Given” is the brilliant new single from Jack Garratt. Following on from one of 2014’s best debuts, the “Remnants” EP, “The Love You’re Given”, with its stunning and forward thinking use of harmony and its clever rhythmic layering, is a bold and emphatic step forward from artist an artist already pointing in a strongly upward trajectory.

“Panther” finds one of Indie 2014 biggest success stories Made In Heights in top form. “Panther”, built on a simple synth figure and well-placed dynamic harmonies, breaks current blog pop to its most elementary and minimal eschewing embellishment for life-wringing melodic precision and quality.

Earth Wind & Fire’s “September” rules; it’s undoubtedly one of the best pop songs of late 70’s. Duly Noted Records’ J. Tropic and vocalist Alyss dial up a low touch modern indie send-up of “September” choosing a minimal instrumental and effective vocal and do well not to crowd out but rather enhance the melodic brilliance of the original track.

“Stranger” is the SHIFt K3Y co-written and produced latest track from Leo Kalyan. “Stranger” excels on its 10 out of 10 tunefulness and no drama school of the 1990’s R&B production.

The melodically stunning “Timebomb” is new from Scottish singer A-L-X. “Timebomb” has nods to current indie R&B in its synth rattles and bass tone but the DNA of the track is firmly classic soul. When A-L-X hits that “‘Cause true love’s what you’re looking for” run in the afterchorus, our B3 hearts melt. Give the Scottish newcomer your ears below.

Australian singer CVIRO (Cairo) & producer GXNXVS (Genius) debut “Benjamins”. The 90’s heavy track (don’t cringe just yet, as “Benjamins” makes up for any played-out-ness in style with turns of melody and production that are truly special) finds the Aussie twosome channeling the tunefulness of Joe or Craig David through a lens of still “old school” but modernized backbeats.
