Welcome to the Moon!

Are you ready for this one? We are ready for it. These are the best tunes from this September and we had a lot of fun listening to all these incredible artists.

As always during the Best Of The Moon, we don’t look at genres and bring you the best in Electronic, Pop, and RnB music.

That’s a lot to cover up today, but we will promise you that the 10 music projects we will present to you today are going to brighten your day and give you the strength to accept that indeed Summer is freaking finished and you need to get over it… seriously. We are also talking to ourselves as well by the way, we are still not over it…

Let the journey to the moon begin.

WOTTS – “NO TAKE BACKS”

Did someone say Wotts? Yes, exactly! They are back with another tune, and as we know, they never disappoint us. For those who don’t know this sick duo yet, we recommend you read something about them here for their latest cover, or here for one of their previous releases.

“No Take Backs” is their latest single released just a month ago: even though their style is easily distinguishable, we noticed that their sound becomes stronger with every release, with a brighter and more polished sound selection.

In this tune, they bring in a sort of funky style and a hint of 90s vibes, featuring a solid groovy bassline and some catchy vocal lines. Of course, these are the hot points of the track, but the song carries something even hotter: we talking about all the little details around the song, from the drum fills, to the distortion fx added to the vocals, the guitar solos and the incredible sounding synths, this tune is a masterpiece that will hook you like crazy with its nostalgic vibes. This is quite unmissable in our opinion, don’t miss out!

SOFIA EVANGELINA – “Get Outta My Head”

Her style is a mix of soul/R&B/pop, with a unique and characteristic voice: clean, angelic, soft, and powerful when needed, this amazing artist will surely hit your soul with her majestic music.

“Get Outta My Head” is her first single out in 2022 with other songs soon to come out anticipating her upcoming album in 2023. Sofia Evangelina is only 19, yet her voice, themes and attitude sound way more mature.

The production that surrounds her vocals is incredibly well-curated merging different genres, and instrumentations that often are left behind in today’s music.

The bassline is outstanding here, and the added subs make the release sound even more modern, piano and synths create an ethereal layer that gives enough space to Sofia and her crazy melody lines to really shine. She has a bright future ahead and we wish her all the best.

Her latest release is called “He Ain’t You”, a stunning pop production that got remixed by other artists, giving life to a brilliant EP that features 4 incredible remixes of this song.

The one we liked the most is the one remixed by Sebastian Perez, a worldwide DJ & Music Producer from Europe, who has recently shot into the limelight in the past 12 months, with chart-topping remixes and productions.

His take on “He Ain’t You” is something phenomenal: a dance remix with a hint of that game-changing 90s vibes, featuring a solid groove and a polished sound design. Needless to talk about the quality of the mix, everything is unbelievably clean and all the elements are easily noticeable. Such a wonderful tune, we are pretty sure you’ll fall in love with this one!

This incredible artist has a notable and impressive voice, a vocal timbre extremely characteristic, and a flow that will definitely hook you like crazy.

Her latest release “Zoom” is a dance/pop tune that honestly left us speechless by the quality of the production: a minimal and clean sound design with catchy vocal lines and remarkable drops.

The groove and the sound of the drums are the main focus along the vocals, making sure that the listener gets engaged with a great rhythm to let them dance.

Enisa has the ability to capture your ears with these “never-granted” melodies and captivating lyrics, combined with the perfect musical arrangement, this song is definitely a solid hit that will be listened to for a long time.

KRIS JAMES – “The Way You Move”

We fly over to United Kingdom for this next artist. He’s an amazing singer, fresh from an amazing Tour supporting Anastacia, and his name is Kris James.

It doesn’t come as a surprise that Kris was chosen to play before such a great pop star as Anastacia, as Kris James songs are extremely catchy and present a happy pop formula that will make you forget that summer is over.

He’s last single is called “The Way You Move” and it is also his first single in 2022, an Anthemic Pop tune with some Funk inspiration, perfect for everyone that misses early 2000s pop tunes, the ones that were all over the radio and made your summer special. Kris’ vocals are extremely passionate and heartfelt, and we are incredibly in love with his falsettos.

Kris also released an EP full of great remixes of this absolute banger, which you can listen to here.

7000APART – “Whole Lot Left To Lose”

We now present you a band with an incredible story behind. They are called 7000apart, and the duo is formed by Amelie Eiding and Jon Kresin. That’s a husband-wife pop duo that met each other during high school. She traveled to United States to Sweden and fell in love with Jon.

She eventually had to come back to Sweden, but luckily this incredible couple manage to marry in 2016, and the band is indeed called 700apart referring to the miles of the distance they ended up being.

They just released their third single in 2022 and it is called “Whole Lot Left to Lose” and that’s an extremely catchy Indie Pop tune with a whistled chorus melody that will get stuck in your head for a long long time. Talking about insecurities and some mental states that might end up limiting us, that’s a tune that will inspire you while being incredibly pop yet honest. If you’re having a bad day, this song and this band in general will cheer you up for sure.

TAYLOR B-W – “BTW TBW”

Now we have, an incredibly catchy pop release to present to you. We are now jumping in the sunny Sydney in Australia and bring to you Taylor B-W, she just released her EP called “BTW TBW” an impressive 6-song release, that will surprise you for its incredible catchiness and even pathos on some of its songs.

This was produced by Liam Quinn (Rita Ora, Lime Cordiale, Peach PRC), and the first tune is called “I’m so Broke” which is the perfect introduction to Taylor’s music, very catchy and funny track, written during the second lockdown in Sydney. Indeed, the EP talks about Taylor’s life over the past 6 years.

She also jumps into other genres including reggaeton but always keeping those melody lines that often reminisces 90s or early 2000s pop songs, which in our opinion were the best decades for pop music. Walk On Fire, Tears Of Coal and Stain are incredibly anthemic and seem written for even bigger pop stars like Beyonce or Lady Gaga for all the energy they bring, and Taylor is in fact proving to be absolutely worthy of sharing the stage with bigger stars.

CHRISTINA LI – “No Sleep”

Christina Li is a singer-songwriter from New York City and she recently released her new song “No Sleep”. Christina’s voice is incredibly dreamy and soothing, especially in her last tune.

This dream pop track has a very peculiar theme, talking about the beginning of her relationship with her girlfriend, not yet ready to come out.

The song conveys perfectly that feeling of intimacy, and the chord progression and arrangement fit perfectly the storytelling, with a Soul and RnB feel that sounds extremely new, calming yet uplifting.

This song made us feel really dreamy and also in love, as you can feel the pure love flowing out of this extremely catchy tune, and we are sure you will feel it too, making your day more colorful and positive.

LUKX – “Get Shit Done”

Let’s get shit done. C’mon let’s be serious. We all have shit to finish, and sometimes we leave all this stuff behind, but if you need to have something that will help you move your ass, you can definitely listen to Lukx‘s last tune called “Get Shit Done”.

This last release from Belgian singer and rapper is a father and son effort that sounds extremely consistent. Merging elements from Hip Hop to Rap and Pop, this tune makes us feel also a lot of UK street vibes.

This tune helped us Get Shit Done, we probably wouldn’t have been able to finish the article if it wasn’t for this single, or at least it inspired us to get it done and move to some of our other shit. The beat has some future bass synth and groovy drum that will make moving your ass on the dancefloor, or at least headbanging in front of the laptop like us.

Her latest release “So In Love With You” in collaboration with StoneBridge came out as a single in 3 different versions: one radio edit, one extended mix, and one club mix edited by Block & Crown: this is a great stylistic choice and we loved that fact that we can listen to the different variations of the song.

The StoneBridge Mix got us with its amazing groove and the catchy melodies, combined with the angelic vocals of K-SYRAN its pretty difficult to stay still on the dance floor, it will definitely makes you move like crazy untill the end of the party!

Evening Space-Tini: Best Chill Songs of the Month – Vol. 3

Emanuele Rosi All, Best of the month Best chill songs, Best chill tracks, best of the month, Chill songs, Evening Space-Tini, Fran lusty, Herald k, Indie, Indie folk, Indie pop, Indie rock, Kaeley Jade, Laura lang, Lauryn marie, polydrive, pop, T.y.g.y., yonah, Zoe guigneno

It’s time for some chill with Evening Space-tini!

That’s the last day of Summer. However, we luckily have this selection of incredible artists to cheer us up.

These indie rock and indie folk tunes are perfect for this time of the year. Autumn is starting, and everyone is back to work, anyway, this music still makes us dream, and also daydream.

Just imagining ourselves without responsibilities for a bit longer, all these songs definitely did a great job of not making us think about the hustle and bustle of being a Londoner. We are sure that will chill you up as well.

Let’s begin the happy hour.

FRAN LUSTY – “Flight Of Your Mind”

Our first artist from today is called Fran Lusty, and she’s a singer-songwriter from London, UK. She just released an incredibly catchy tune called “Flight Of your Mind”, an indie-folk you absolutely shouldn’t miss.

That’s her fourth single in 2022 and she definitely created a consistent sound during this here, accompanied by some conceptual artworks that make her music project even more consistent. This new single has a very solid sound foundation thanks to its chord progression and acoustic guitar sound.

The electric guitar gives that dreamy vibe adding some shoegaze-inspired sounds that give a lot of depth to the song. All of these are topped by Fran’s melancholic performance and melody. For the theme of this song, Fran was inspired by Virginia Woolf’s diaries and how she used to fly away from the real world into her mind.

The song reflects on the husband’s perspective of this peculiar situation, and the disconnection she might feel from the real world. We found ourselves a bit reflected in this story, we lack Virginia’s talent but we are definitely some avid daydreamers.

T.I.G.Y. – “Animal”

T.I.G.Y. is an oustanding duo based in Dorking, UK, with an indie pop catalogue of over 10 tracks and one EP, these guys bring to the public a unique style merging beautiful vocal melodies with minimal musical arrangements.

Their latest release “Animal” is a cover of the band Miike Snow, completely reworked and remastered to a whole new level, and we can say they absolutely nailed it.

The style of the cover has soft touch for the first part of the song, featuring a dreamy piano and some impressive brasses (apparently provided by the incredibly skilled Jamie Sefton), while having a more energic and brave character during the second part.

The combination of the instruments used give the tune an acoustic sound, blending perfectly with the angelic vocals and giving the listener the opportunity to focus on the paceful and gentle melodies the will slowly inebriate our mind.

This was definitely an incredible take from this duo, they also have some upcoming live events across the UK, make sure you check out their dates on Spotify!

POLYDRIVE – “Have To Make This Call”

This duo needs no introduction, after being with us in some previous articles, we are glad to have them here once again with their latest release “Have To Make This Call”.

What can we say, this tune literally captured our heart with its incredible nostalgic vibe and the refined sound design of electronic elements mixed to acoustic and electric guitars.

The song is a crescendo of emotions, built with an incredible dynamic full of stunning transients and powerful energy. This is definitely a strong characteristic of this band, able to add magic to whatever they play.

The song starts with a chilled verse, played by an acoustic guitar and the vocals. It slowly brings in other elements and fxs in a perfect manner, releasing most of its energy during the choruses and bringing your mind on a rollercoaster of feelings.

We can admit that we can’t get enough of it, that’s why we’re going to press play once again.

YONAH – “Bad Dreams”

Extremely excited to introduce this incredible talent based in New York, US, ready to unleash wonderful feelings with his sound: we want to give a warm welcome to YONAH.

Just 19 years old, this young lad is a singer/songwriter and producer that seems to know what he’s doing, with a total of 5 productions released this year.

His latest tune called “Bad Dreams” is an Indie Pop production with a sophisticated sound design, featuring mellow guitars and incredibly captivating vocals that give the tune a mysterious feeling and a sense of “I want to discover more of it”.

The song has a misty mood, and we loved it: it will literally let you dream during the listening, and as the title says, it was a very bad dream.. However, if bad dreams were all like this, then I think we’d like to have them all the time.

Curious about what this artist will come up next, links below to keep posted:

LAURA LANG – “Black Sedan”

Talking about young talents, we are thrilled to present LAURA LANG, a marvelous singer and songwriter from Tennessee, US.

Her angelic voice is incredibly remarkable, just 17 years old we wonder how she can be this good, lyrically and melodically speaking, Laura proves her skills with her latest release “Black Sedan”.

The song starts with an astonishing guitar arpeggio: it hooked us from the first moment with its beautiful melody, accompanied by a very characteristic bunch of effects, and followed by the soft vocal lines of Laura during the verse.

The tune features an amazing groove composed of rich and bold acoustic drums in a full indie rock style, releasing all of its energy in the second half of the song along with electric rock guitar power chords and powerful vocal melodies.

This artist is incredibly good at bringing nostalgic vibes and will definitely make you craving for more, we can assure you.

KAELEY JADE – “Beneath The Lies”

The next artist we present to you comes directly from Edmonton, Canada. She’s a singer-songwriter called Kaeley Jade and her last single is called “Beneath The Lies”. That’s an acoustic pop tune with an extremely catchy melody and arrangement, especially the main lead present in the chorus, it’s easy to get stuck in your mind.

That’s the fourth single out of her upcoming album Turpentine which will be out just in a couple of days, and we are very excited about this. Beneath the Lies bring to life the poppiest side of Kaeley Jade, but always deals with themes that are nothing but superficial.

After encountering one of her ex-partners, Kaeley faces some of the human most notorious constructions, the so-called human masks, the false identity that keeps some of us alive by not facing certain issues of their lives, pretending everything’s okay.

This song and its incredible catchiness reminded us of early works from Taylor Swift and Maggie Rogers, and we wish the best for Kaeley Jade’s upcoming album, make sure not to miss it out.

ZOE GUIGUENO – “Queen Of My Domain”

“Queen Of My Own Domain” is the latest single from Singer-Songwriter Zoe Guigneno, a cozy indie tune, perfect for the end of summer.

Zoe Guigneno, is currently based in Canada, Vancouver Island, but she used to live in New York for a long time and had a lot of music experiences playing the bass in different bands. Through her lyricism and songwriting is possible to capture her musical talent and ability to convey her emotions through melody.

The song’s arrangement plays a lot around the bassline, very groovy and present which makes it a peculiarity if compared to other indie rock/indie pop tunes. The organ and guitar licks add some dreamy layers to the production but always leave enough space for Zoe to express herself fully.

Through the lyrics we can see that Zoe explores her independence, now feeling more control over her life, expressed in an uplifting and very positive way. A simple, warm yet inspiring tune, you should absolutely add to your playlist.

INSTAGRAM

LAURYN MARIE – “Happy Songs”

Directly from San Francisco, here we have Lauryn Marie with her new song Happy Songs. That’s the first tune she released in 2022, bringing some alt-pop vibes to the end of this summer, with a melancholic theme and a very catchy melody.

Lauryn was able to create a song that sounds very pop while still keeping her singer-songwriter style. The electric guitars here also add some vibes that reminded us of Olivia Rodigo and Avril Lavigne, which we really dig.

The main theme of this song turns around the feeling we might have after a relationship is finished. Everything changed, and also our respective things during the relationship had a different and deeper meaning.

Lauryn in this song is indeed reflecting on the role of all the songs she used to listen to, and they all sound different in the aftermath of her breakup. A situation that many of us can relate to, and that Lauryn was able to transpose into music in a flawless way.

HERALD K – “Wandering Aengus”

Here we have the final artist of today’s list. Last but not least we present you Herald K, a singer-songwriter from Vienna, Austria. Even though we didn’t plan for this to be the last review of the day, this song sounds like the perfect closure for today’s selection, thanks to his extremely chill vibes and hypnotic pedal steel guitar.

The tune we are going to close today is called Wandering Aengus and this is Herald K’s interpretation and transposition of William Butler Yeats’s poem.

This extremely calming tune is a hidden gem of modern folk. It is pure pleasure to dive into this song, especially at the end of a very busy day, and be caressed by the vocal melody, a soothing line that accompanies you into a dreamy state. The very well-curated sound design gives the right space to every instrument making the double bass, vocals and acoustic guitar shine. The perfect tune to end the day.

WERMZER – “Bombpop”

The first artist we are going to introduce to you is going to blow your mind with his latest release. His name is Wermzer, a producer and rapper directly from Mobile, United States, and his latest song is called Bombpop.

The production is incredibly interesting, merging different elements from Electronic Dance Music and Trap. Everything sounds super neat and his vibes reminded us a lot of Borgore. Wermzer lyrics are extremely funny, reminiscing some hip-hop humor brought up by music projects like Bloodhound Gang.

The bass on this one hit extremely hard, a mental sound design that will make you forget that song just started with a retro game-sounding intro. Wermzer sounds like no other artist, and he’s definitely here to stay in the game for the long-run.

DR SOUC – “The Universal Language”

Our second artist on the list is called Dr Souc, he’s a rapper from Milford United States, and he recently released his latest EP called “The Universal Language”.

We found this EP such an extremely solid production, with a consistent music theme that jumps from trap to hip hop and psychedelic rock. The element that made us wow the most was surely the guitar licks and solo on this one.

While the beats are made by K-Swisha. the guitars are recorded by Dr Souc‘s father. This created an amazing alchemy, in a mix of genres that sounds extremely catchy even though so distant from each other.

The perfect introduction for this project is for us “New Glasses” with his incredible guitar solo. Solos appear always more rarely in today’s productions, and hearing this was such a breath of fresh air.

MAX EDWARDS – “For Another”

Excited to present in this September’s Outerspace MAX EDWARDS, a young singer and songwriter from Vancouver, Canada, that recently released a stunning tune called “For Another”. This is an R&B/Pop production that left us speechless, a very high quality track that we hope to listen to the radio pretty soon.

This is the kind of song that is not enough to be listened just once, not even twice, instead we listened to this release in a loop mode around 20 times straight today.

The groovy drum beat and the faboulus strummed guitars go along together in a perfect manner, garnished with melodic plucks and topped up with catchy vocals, that’s exactly what we call a “banger”!

We think Max is a serious talent and this tune shows it off at its best, with a soft and masmeric timbre combined to clever lyrics we are pretty sure this artist will be one of your new favorites.

JULY – “Pokey Lights”

JULY is an incredibely talented British artist, singer, and songwriter, and his musical skills go above and beyond anything else, and he prooved it with with his latest release “Pokey Lights”, a dreamy R&B/Pop production that will get surely stuck in your mind for a while.

This tune has the unique July sound: incredible flow mixed to breathtaking vocal melodies, we wonder why this artist is not in the top 100 billboard yet.. Sick release that features minimal hip-hop drums, misty reverbered plucks and deep basses, just few elements that are enough to give space to July’s voice, which is where we want to focus on.

July is able to create melodies that you wouldn’t expect, the ability to hook your mind with captivating lyrics and keep your ears entertained for a fair amount of time. Make sure you also listen to this song with the official music video, links below!

Welcome to the Moon!

August is finished we are afraid to say. But not the great music, that’s for sure. We can feel that this Summer is going towards its closure, the melancholy is stronger, and so is the main theme of the tracks proposed today.

We do feel that all the artists we are going to show today have created some incredibly catchy tunes, still ideal for the summer vibe. Anyway, you can hear on these that feeling that everything is not forever, and we should stop a second and appreciate these last moments of holiday we are having.

We hope that your vacations have been exceptional and that these artists’ soundtracks are going to help you start again the everyday hustle and bustle we experience most of the year. they definitely made our dream and wish this summer was never over. Anyway, let’s get back on track, and let’s take a look at this month’s best artist list.

Let the journey to the moon begin.

OZZ GOLD – “When I’m With You”

OZZ GOLD is back to delight us with his sound once again here on SpaceSour, when summer looks like is ready to vanish but Ozz Gold comes in the right moment to bring it back and hold it for a bit longer. His latest single “When I’m With You” is exactly what we need to open the dancefloor: a dance tune that features beautiful and dreamy vocals, with a hint of nostalgic feelings but that will set you in a good and happy mood even after the song is over.

The sound design is minimal; melodic arpeggio plucks and warm ambient synths give a dreamy atmosphere to the verses, with a relaxed vibe the song builds up perfectly leading to a spectacular drop playing remarkable melodies in a full summer-ish style.

The bouncy basses add an outstanding groove to the drop, making it even more enjoyable, followed by punchy drums that reach your chest in a proper manner.

This is another masterpiece from this artist, loop mode activated!

INSTAGRAM

HANNAH DORMAN – “222”

Pop-Rock is not dead and we also need to thank artists like Hannah Dorman for this, an English singer-songwriter from Surrey who just released her first EP called “222″.

Many famous artists are now getting back to the punk rock sound, but many new artists are putting their twist on this genre and Hannah Dorman is one of those. On her EP she merges nuances of pop rock, 80s synthpop and electro-pop in a seamless way. Her song “No Boys Allowed” even touches some industrial rock vibes that we really dig.

The song we are going to present to you today from the EP is “Gasoline”, which is the first track from the release and the one that got stuck in our minds the most. The tune has some great electric guitars that reminisce the latest Machine Gun Kelly’s two albums.

An energetic vocal performance adds that pop-rock vibe that blinks at Olivia Rodrigo’s style but with that edgy twist that we loved. Plus that anthemic chorus is gonna get stuck in your head for a long time, if you miss Avril Lavigne’s 2000s vocal lines, that’s your jam.

THE DOMAIN – “Favorite Mistake”

Thrilled to bring here some groovy retro vibes with the sound of THE DOMAIN, an incredible artist with just 2 singles released but with loads of experience from his studies and his previous projects. His latest release called “Favorite Mistake” is a dance tune in collaboration with the New York-based singer LOUSY that definitely brings an outstanding touch to the song.

This release is not just a classic dance tune: Favorite Mistake carries a nostalgic mood with its 80s sound design and its great chord progressions, but also an enjoyable happy vibe with a solid groove and remarkable vocal lines. This duo works incredibly well in this track, where the energy of the instrumental is able to host in a perfect manner the vocal range of the singer, making the song extremely pleasant to listen to.

This is for sure one of these songs that you don’t really want to miss: solid groove, clever lyrics, excellent dynamic, just hit the favorite button, what are you waiting for?!

AUDREAL GILLETT – “Memories”

The next track on this list really GOT THE FUNK. This bouncy tune was recently released by producer and composer Covinos, an incredibly talented and young artist based in Boston.

The name of the song is indeed Got The Funk, an incredibly entertaining and danceable tune, that would sound great both on a happy hour sunset DJ set along the beach and on a club night in a busy London venue.

Covinos, is able to merge flawlessly different music genres from house to funk and techno. The sound design and synth selection slightly reminded us of some of the tunes out of the last two Calvin Harris’ albums, also these ones dedicated to funk music.

The clever experimentations on this track instead, made us dive back into some Daft Punk early releases, the wackiest ones. That’s an eclectic Funky Techno tune you shouldn’t miss.

JEWELIA – “No Lover”

JEWELIA is the pop-star sensation that will breathe life into your playlist. This incredible singer and songwriter from London, UK, has been releasing music since 2014 with a music catalog of over 20 tracks recorded during these years.

Her latest release “No Lover” definitely brings up a nostalgic mood in a unique way, featuring groovy retro drum patterns with melodic elements and funky rhythmic guitars.

The vocals have an outstanding production here, with special care on the choirs and back vocals; we honestly loved the energy of the chorus where they literally show their best.

The production has impressive attention to detail, from the short fx sounds to the clean groove of the drums and percussion, the song is curated in every aspect with a perfectionist attitude. Definitely a remarkable tune from Jewelia, the kind of tune that your brain will play when you are on your daily tasks, especially when you less expect it!

TAYLOR ROCHE – “Day&night”

Space Travellers, the next one is thrilling, and we are not joking. We want to introduce TAYLOR ROCHE in this best of the moon, but with a serious warning: his music is extremely addictive. His sound has a fresh modern pop vibe mixed with strong retro 80s vibes that bring back nostalgic feelings, and we are not ashamed to tell you that we literally ended up making a playlist just with his music, listening to it non-stop for days.

Taylor is a singer and songwriter from Auckland, New Zealand, and so far he didn’t miss even one, all of his tracks are bangers.

His latest release “Day&night” is an upbeat 80s synthpop production that features groovy basslines, delightful synths, and powerful drums, all garnished with a sick and neat sound design.

Taylor’s voice definitely gives the song a unique touch, with an extremely peculiar timbre and a brilliant dynamic. The production of the vocals is impressive here: distortions, back vocals, vocal chops, and vocalizes definitely add richness to the track and make it exciting to listen to.

We could talk about this for hours, but let’s do ourselves a favor, just press play here:

Sounds In Projects – “Look Pretty”

This next production is from a German DJ and producer called Steve Breuer, we were really struck by the sound design of this one, which made us dive into an incredible production that merges different electronic genres from Progressive House to Techno and Electronic Dance Music.

Steve Breuer is indeed the mastermind behind the music project Sounds in Projects which just delivered this incredible tune called “Look Pretty”. The beautiful melody makes this tune perfect for a summer radio playlist and even great for a club night thanks to its Tech Mix version.

The “Tech Mix” keep the melodic charge “Look Pretty” but adds some steroids to the instrumentation, especially to the kick and bass which pump everything up into an incredibly danceable track that would sound amazingly during Music Festivals like Ultra or even Tomorrowland. An incredibly tasty House release, you should not miss.

MEADOWHIP – ”Am I Broken”

It’s time to chill a little bit with this next artist we are going to present to you. She’s an Australian-based singer-songwriter called Cara Walkam, and her music project is called meadowhip. She recently release her single “Am I Broken”, a song whose theme might represent you as well.

We personally found ourselves at different times wondering if we were the real problem inside an intimate relationship. This song represents the internal dialogue Cara is having, wondering if she’s the real problem, and sometimes taking the blame for the things that didn’t work out.

The vocal style add that soul melancholic vibe we really loved, matching perfectly the theme. The instrumentation adds a groovy and funky bassline and an effective guitar along the way that adds that depth and brightness that the other instruments express in another part of the mix.

We loved the addition of the trumpets during and at the end of the tune, creating almost a dramatic moment and a great escalation that uplifts the song and also our mood.

ANNA BELLE – “Dreams (Late At Night)”

With this next artist, we are going to take a time machine and go back to the 80s. She’s called Anna Belle, and she just released a song called Dreams (Late at Night). That’s her first single in 2022 after the EP released in 2021 called “Barely functional.”.

She kept her music genre incredibly consistent throughout every release proposing 80s Synthpop tracks, that really seem they come from that era. Everything from the production to the sound design is curated to the minimum detail, even the vocal style reminisces those peculiar performances from 80s female singers.

That’s something you wouldn’t expect from an artist from Nashville. Country and Americana were not an option for her style, and we are glad to hear some vintage-sounding synths and reverbs finally. What’s even more surprising is that Anna produced everything by herself. An outstanding release from an artist you should absolutely take a look at.

KING KISMET – “Call Me”

KING KISMET is back with another incredible single, and this is a real banger. After being with us in Chapter 2 (article here), it didn’t take a lot to find out that this incredible artist has gained the likes of the public with his unique sound, and we are glad to have him here once again.

His latest release “Call Me” is a pop/future bass song that definitely proves how skilled this artist is: a powerful sound that features melodic guitars, sharp synths, deep basses, and some incredible vocals.

The track sets you in a melancholic mood from the beginning, but also give you some hopeful feelings when the vocals join the verse: here we’ll be guided by the groove of the drums, and amazed by the production of the vocal lines, with incredible vocoders/vocal chops. This tune gets extremely remarkable thanks to this elaborated sound, and honestly, we never heard anything like this out there, making this song a great surprise and a sick discovery. We’ll loop it for a while, that’s for sure!

Evening Space-Tini: Best Chill Songs of the Month – Vol. 2

Emanuele Rosi All, Best of the month Best chill songs, Best chill tracks, best of the month, Charlie weathersby, Chill songs, emmrose, Evening Space-Tini, Fox evades, Indie, Indie folk, Indie pop, Indie rock, Jonathan lobo, Liloe rix, NIGHTLY GATHERINGS, onbar, pop, Rich jacques

It’s time for some chill with Evening Space-tini!

We are now over the middle of August, but that doesn’t mean we are going to worry about the end of summer. More like the opposite, we are indeed enjoying these days more than ever, and this collection of tunes we are presenting to you today is going to cheer you up as well.

These are the best chill tunes to enjoy at the end of August, imagine now being along the shore, looking at the dusk coming and these tunes in the background. Enjoy the moment, there’s no need to rush, these amazing artists are going to accompany you through the end of the day, so let’s relax and enjoy the ride.

Let’s begin the happy hour.

Fox Evades – “Someday”

The next artist we are going to introduce you to is from Lincolnshire, United Kingdom. She goes under the moniker of Fox Evades and her last dreamy release is called “Nothing But Our Dreams”.

Here we are presenting you the tune “Someday” which really got stuck in our head. This tune has some shoegaze vibes we really dig. It reminded us of some tunes out of Turnover’s album “Peripheral Vision”, which is one of our favorite modern shoegaze releases to date. So it didn’t surprise us that this tune, and overall album soundscape and aesthetic, seemed really our jam.

Jordan Mae, the person behind this dreamy music project, is also the only songwriter and producer behind it. This shows her incredible production talent, as this release sounds way better than a production recorded in a bedroom.

Fox Evades is able to take classic shoegaze vibes and put a modern twist on them, creating a mystic vibe that sounds completely new and different from other latest productions.

EMMROSE – “The Feeling’s Mutual”

EMMROSE is back with another anthemic pop tune called “The Feeling’s Mutual”. We already had the pleasure of including EMMROSE in one of our Best of the Month articles and got to talk with her in a very nice interview which you can find here.

This time EMMROSE’s production sounds bigger than ever. Compared to her other releases this track has definitely more energy and a rock approach we definitely dig. You can feel from the performance what EMMROSE is feeling, this has been a very personal tune to write, and the song represents a cathartic moment for the singer-songwriter to express all her energy and thoughts through a robust vocal performance.

To categorize this song as an Indie Pop tune might not be enough, as the arrangement indeed takes many elements from other genres like electro-pop and indie music and merges them together with a rock core.

The frustration EMMROSE’s felt from the toxic friendship she writes about is clearly evident, and makes it easy for the listener to empathize with her emotion. We’ve been through this as well, and this track has been extremely uplifting for us.

ONBAR – “GOOD”

Let’s start the evening in full style with the help of ONBAR, an amazing artist from San Jose, CA, and let’s kick off our speakers with his crazy groove and exclusive vibes.

His latest release “GOOD” (in collaboration with 2 of his friends) is for sure the best way to begin this article, as the title of this song: a minimal but incredibly special tune that features stunning chords progression, with an extremely neat production and a brilliant musical arrangement.

This song will bring you up to a cloud from the very first seconds with its exquisite sounds and upbeat rhythm, giving you an instantly good mood and a perception of life completely different from what you used to know. A song that tells a story, lyrically and musically, and we literally couldn’t have enough of it even after loop modes for hours!

ONBAR has been releasing music since 2020, and we recommend to have a listen also to his previous release, you won’t get disappointed.

Obviously curious about what this artist reserves us for the future, but in the meanwhile, let’s have a GOOD time with this sick release.

INSTAGRAM

NIGHTLY GATHERINGS – “Accepted”

For those who already heard this artist, we know that writing about his music would literally diminish it, but we also want to introduce this phenomenal artist to all the ones who never heard his piece of art before. NIGHTLY GATHERINGS, (also appearing on SpaceSour here),

is probably one of the artists that inspired us to build up this Evening-Space Tini format thanks to his incredible sound, and here he comes with his brand new EP “Accepted” released less than a month ago.

The EP contains 4 tracks: a (sadly)short journey to heaven where enchanting and compelling melodies will give us peace of mind, relax our body, and bring us to the immersive discovery of the beauties of these tunes, featuring futuristic and organic sounds and combined to Connor vocals and complex glitches.

Our favorite? Difficult to say as we loved all the EP, but if we have to suggest one for the first-time listeners, we would for sure recommend “Always” as the first track: an easy start to get to know this artist and get your mind ready to fully comprehend his sound of the rest of the EP.

Seat your belt and let’s dive into space this evening with NIGHTLY GATHERINGS.

INSTAGRAM

LILOE RIX – “Let Go”

LILOE RIX, outstanding talent from Amsterdam, Netherlands, is a musician, singer/songwriter that knows how to delight our ears with her incredible voice and her creative musical riffs.

One of her latest releases just got stuck in our mind and definitely wanted us to have it as a must during our relaxing evening: “Let Go” is definitely what we need to enjoy the sunset with a great vibe. The song has some remarkable bass lines with a deep and crunchy sound, incredibly pleasant to listen to! The bass combined with the drums gives the track a solid groove, where rhythmic and melodic guitar fills the ambient with beautiful riffs.

Liloe vocals are clean, tenacious, and confident, with a solid decisive timbre during the verses and a soft one during the choruses. The choirs are incredibly well produced and give the track wideness and excitement, for sure one of the strongest skills of this artist!

We loved the bridge in the song, with a wonderful melodic progression, we couldn’t miss this track in this article!

INSTAGRAM

Rich Jacques – “Can You See It”

The next artist comes directly from Los Angeles, and his latest release really makes us find some inner peace. We are talking about Rich Jacques, who just put out an amazing EP called “Everything Must Change”.

The track we wanted to present to you today from the EP is Can you See it. That’s the track with the most indie folk vibe from the EP, and definitely a great introduction to Rich Jacques sound. Rich’s singing style on this one is very mild and soothing accompanied by a piano part that supports the guitar chord progression.

The message behind the track is simple, concise yet very modern. In line with the mood of the song that makes us imagine ourselves on our front porch or backyard just enjoying the horizon and nothing else. The guitar lo-fi sound and bass sound give that modern twist that makes the song stand out from the rest of the chill folk tunes you might listen around.

CHARLIE WEATHERSBY – “Iridescent Sky”

CHARLIE WEATHERSBY is an independent artist from San Antonio, TX, and has been releasing music since 2017, with the latest release called “Iridescent Sky”.

With this song, we’ll escape from reality for this evening, giving ourselves some time to chill, think, and clear up our minds. This is a 5 minutes track but it feels much shorter thanks to the beautiful arrangement and the warm tones this song emanates: it features charming retro-sounding guitars and 80s synth pads, accompanied by vintage punchy drums and the enchanting voice of Charlie that will guide us through this surreal voyage.

Charlie’s voice makes the tune unique, with a cozy and mellow tone this song can express all the feelings it was meant to give, and nostalgic vibes will literally give you goosebumps when you less expect it.

A great addition to this list for this evening, exactly what we were looking for.

INSTAGRAM

Jonathan Lobo – “Magic”

Last but not least we have an incredibly talented fresh artist from Dubai. his name is Jonathan Lobo, and he released an eclectic new EP called “Love”. This simple title and word easily give an idea of what this EP is about.

The release is indeed full of meaningful messages, conveyed by Jonathan’s pen and inspired by his life moments. The arrangement and songwriting also sparkle with a bright light of positivity. A honest attempt of spreading a positve message through some electro-pop and indie pop tracks.

We think Jonathan Lobo succeeded in this, especially with his song Magic, which is the song we are presenting to you today. “Can we have five more minutes of Magic?”, we all have been in that situation, in that magical moment we don’t want to finish, and this song perfectly captures that feeling.

The bluesy-electronic drums give that groovy foundation that builds up during the song with the enticing acoustic guitar riffs and reverse guitar sounds. A compelling production that fits perfectly with Jonathan’s melody and performance.

Welcome to the Outer Space!

You probably noticed that we jumped Outer Space the last month. That was because we were stuck in a blackhole during our last expedition and found ourselves in a time loop we couldn’t escape (AKA we went on a short vacation).

You are going to forgive our absence anyway with this new article, we are bringing the best Rap, Trap and RnB tunes we listened to during this last period. And we promise you, any of this track is pure fire.

Make sure to follow our new playlist “Outer Space” so you can stay up to date with all our new discoveries in this genre. Just click here and put a like on your Spotify. Seriously, you’re doing yourself a favor, not the contrary.

Jokes apart, let’s start this crazy expedition with the best tracks of the month.

Let’s begin our Outer Space journey.

DAX – “Searching For A Reason”

We are excited to have in this vol.7 an incredible artist with loads of experience, releasing music since 2017 and putting out over 40 singles, 1 album, 1 mixtape, and 2 EPs: we are talking about DAX, Singer, songwriter, and vocalist from Canada.

What we like about Dax is that he sends a message of hope through his music with a really high-quality refined product.

His latest release “Searching For A Reason” is an emotional hip-hop production that features an incredible flow with clever and catchy phrases, and mind-opening lyrics that will instantly let you connect with the artist. The beat is solid and features melancholic guitars and clean hip-hop drums that easily accompany Dax’s vocals, which is the focus of the song.

“Trust gets you killed, love gets you hurts, being real gets you hated so tell me what it’s worth”: that’s the main chorus of this song, and definitely worth a listen!

There is also a sick official video for this release which you can find here.

Can’t miss this out!

INSTAGRAM

MARTINA – “Cloud Nine”

MARTINA is a new upcoming artist, singer, and songwriter from Italy and based in the UK, bringing to the table a fresh new sound blending a bit of trap and R&B with pleasing, intimate, and catchy vocals.

Her debut single “Cloud Nine” presents itself in a gracious way, with a cozy production that features uncluttered drums and intriguing guitars, garnished with clever and interesting ambient elements. Martina’s vocals are very delicate and intimate, polished lyrics and marvelous melodies will bring you on an unforgettable journey.

This tune is definitely a light breeze that kicks in just at the right moment, with its dreamy and melancholic vibes this is for sure the track to play to chill your mind.

Excited to see what she will come up with next, if you enjoyed this release then you should stay tuned for more!

INSTAGRAM

Nemesis – “Tigress”

The next track is made by a very conscious artist, bringing very philosophical themes to the table. We are talking about Nemesis, an Hip Hop/R&B artist based in Los Angeles who recently released her third-ever track called Tigress.

That’s her second release this year, and she was already able to define a sound that she can call her own. The reference and inspiration to the old-school rap scene are evident, reminiscing music projects like Wu-Tang Clan and singers like Missy Elliot.

The beat is indeed very peculiar, with some elements that merge Boom Bap with afro-beat elements. Nemesis is able to bring some very thought-provoking themes through her lyrics, setting her apart from all the type f rap that is only interested in the Bragging-culture. That was fresh air to us, and we are incredibly curious to see what this artist is able to put out next.

INSTAGRAM | YOUTUBE

CALVIN RYAN – “Lmk”

Thrilled to introduce a phenomenal hip-hop artist based in New York, USA, ready to bring his fresh sound here on SpaceSour: huge welcome to CALVIN RYAN!

Calvin has been releasing numerous singles since 2020, and his latest album aired just a month ago on Spotify including 8 tracks and some of them in collaboration with other artists.

The first track of the album is called “LMK” and we can tell you we looped it on our speakers for a while now, this is highly addictive.

This is a Hip-Hop production that mixes R&B nuance, adding the flow of Calvin here we have a unique sound that people hardly dislike.

LMK features groovy hip-hop drums, a melodic piano, and a stylish ukulele, with a minimal production but hitting the right chords this song is what we define as the perfect tune with a chill and melancholic mood with solid lyrics and incredible flow with rap bars and melodic singing.

If you enjoyed this tune then we recommend you to listen to the rest of the album, you’ll surely have a great time.

INSTAGRAM

J’Moris – “Being Humble”

Just after releasing an entire album in 2022 called “Moris Better: Loveless Confessions”, J.Moris is back with a new enticing tune called “Being Humble”. Banger-alert, this track is lit, and J.Moris is one of those rappers with a voice that goes way beyond the recording.

The beat is very peculiar, relying mainly on some manipulated cellos that give that particular classical vibe to the track. The beat is enriched by some piano patterns that work perfectly as ear candies.

The track still keeps that modern turn thanks to the 808 subs and hit hat that creates the real groove on the song. J’Moris singing flawlessly on this one, is such a pleasure to the ear, distinguishing himself with a production that enhances his vocal skills rather than hides them in a heavy vocal chain.

The lyric proposes a very particular theme, “Why should we work our ass off and not enjoy the fruits of all our hard work?”. There’s a line between being humble and enjoying your life a bit too much and sometimes is very blurry.

J CRU – “Blue” (feat. Carrington & The Lil Hazy)

J CRU is a musical duo based in Los Angeles that you absolutely need to follow. This dynamic duo just released their Album called “GOAT LOVER” on July 28th, which we really suggest you look into.

Today we are featuring their tune “Blue”, which includes two features from other two incredible artists. The first is Carrington who delivers an extremely catchy melody during the chorus, mesmerizing us with her incredible tone, which might reminisce a bit of Halsey’s most chill tunes.

In the second verse, they are joined by Lil Hazy who adds some spice to the recipe making this tune one of the most exciting from the album.

That’s a tune that perfectly fits this too hot summer, adding some melancholic vibes. The afrobeat that starts the song will make your bum move following J CRU’s flow. We loved their lyrics and metrics, which set them apart from a lot of rappers out there.

J CRU is a big deal and ready to blow, make sure to follow them on Tiktok as these guys have so many ideas in mind you really cannot expect what they are going to do next.

AMY CORREA BELL – “RUN IT”

AMY CORREA BELL is here once again to share with us her incredible latest single, after being with us in our previous VOL.4 which you can find here.

she nailed it this time with a killer tune in collaboration with the producer LES LES.

The song is called “Run It” and we got astonished by the sound of this one: the style and the flow of her charming vocals of Amy make this track a rare gem also thanks to the neat beat that offer a minimal chill mood, with deep basses and pleasant rhythmic arpeggio plucks.

The track doesn’t have just a standard rhythm, it is written in triplets and this makes the pattern extremely distinctive and very pleasant to listen to, adding excitement and interest to the tune. The song gave us an incredibly mysterious vibe and brought us on a journey of discoveries in the deepest sides of our minds, with a sound that gets addictive and definitely makes you crave more.

This production is gold, sick work from this collaboration, and really looking forward to seeing what’s coming next.

INSTAGRAM

LIL‘ RUBIO – “Bad All Night”

LIL‘ RUBIO is for sure a sick addition to this list of artists, with a unique and solid sound, his music will grant you a wonderful time. He’s a producer, singer, and songwriter from Vienna, Austria, with a music catalog of over 20 tracks. You can rest assured this artist is able to make your ears engaged for a fair amount of time.

His latest release “bad all night” is a nostalgic and melancholic Hip-Hop production with a hint of Pop/R&B style, with melodic vocals and high-pitched harmonies. That is the right combo that makes this track a pleasure to listen to.

This is a song of betrayals between a girl and a man, a breakup story to which many people could relate; Rubio’s talent makes this tune sound incredibly emotional bringing you on a journey of pain and relief, a dream where you can’t wake up.

A very inspiring theme, performed in a flawless way, Lil Rubio was able with his new single to merge modern emo/inspired trap elements with the old generation of RnB melodies, the ones that will bring you that cool nostalgia you did not know you were looking for.

INSTAGRAM

Virgø – ”Know My Name”

VIRGØ is certainly one of the most exciting artists in the Hip-Hop scene right now, with just a few tracks released he has already shown to the public what his sound is and how magical his skills are.

One of his latest releases “Know My Name” has caught our attention with its sick sound, giving us goosebumps and leaving our souls fulfilled.

This tune is extremely particular: it has a very retro/old-school style during the verses, but it kicks in a fresh sound design and a bunch of emotions during the choruses that make this song incredibly versatile. The mix of styles is fascinating, delightful, and interesting, with a flow out of this world we are pretty sure you’ll be proud to pump this tune in your car’s speakers.

VIRGØ has a polished and solid approach to this beat, with hypnotic and gripping bars we are convinced this artist will get big soon, many people will know his name!

INSTAGRAM

ORPHANBOY – “Pray4Poison”

We are very excited to introduce you to this next artist based in New Orleans. Let’s warmly welcome Orphan Boy to Outer Space. He’s a rapper and producer, and at his young age, 23 at the moment, he has been already through a lot.

His last album “Pray4Poison” was just released some weeks ago and it was inspired by Orphaboy’s downward spiral into drugs and suicidal thoughts. Luckily he’s now out of this dark period and used music as a cathartic instrument to release all his emotion during that period.

We’re glad he released this album, full of different inspirations, which reminded us a lot of early Suicide Boys’ works (they’re also from the same city) and Lil Uzi Vert more introvert releases. The single we are proposing today is “Myriad”, which we think is a great introduction to this incredible artist, the bit reminisces some of early JPEGMafia tunes, yet filled with a melody and flow that’s slightly less angry and catchier than the other tunes, which are more filled with melancholia and sometimes anger.

Orphanboy demonstrates through this release to be an extremely versatile rapper and singer, using different musical approaches yet remaining incredibly consistent with his sound.

INSTAGRAM | YOUTUBE

CHASE PEREZ – “All I Do”

The next tune we are going to present is made by Chase Perez, rapper/producer based in New York. He just released an incredibly solid tune called “All I Do”.

Chase Perez knows how to create a flawless flow with the proper amount of flex. The whole track is incredibly consistent, his rhyme game reminded us a bit of an early Drake release, anyway Chase Perez is able to create something that is his own, with his peculiar vocal tone and style.

The beat hits hard and give the right space for the vocals to shine. Kick and bass slap you in the face reminding you that Chase Perez is here to leave a mark. All the ear candies in the instrumentation are on the right making the tune always enterntaining. Such a solid trap tune you shouldn’t miss.

INSTAGRAM | YOUTUBE

ARIO – “Perfect” (feat. Newl1fe)

Not all the best rappers come from US, Ario is here to prove this once and for all. Rapper based in Calgary, Canada, he recently released the single called Perfect featuring Newl1fe.

Ario has been around for a long time, yet he still delivers tracks that surprise always renovating his style. Perfect is his first release in 2022, bringing a flawless flow with very peculiar metrics.

The initial string sample set the mood of the track, jumping back and forth of an octave bringing variations at the right moments. The bass synth hits very hard together with the kick in an amazing sound design curated to minimal details.

We loved how the bass design also changes based on the part of the song, becoming more ethereal when the vocals have a more uplifting meaning on the track. Such a solid release you should absolutely check.

Emanuele Rosi All, Best of the month Alex Slay, best of the month, best of the moon, CHARLEY, dubstep, Electro pop, electronic, electronic house, FIFTH LUCKY DRAGON, Georgia Hoareau, HANNAH DORMAN, house, Indie pop, KEVIN WHITAKER, MAJA KRISTINA, Maya Yenn, MOON AND ARIES, Ozz Gold, pop, RED SKIES MOURNING, Sahara Beck, SIKA VALMÉ, techno, TONY ZOO, TORTURED SOUL, WOTTS

Welcome to the Moon!

The festival season has already begun, we have been to some amazing festivals and concerts so far, and we hope you had the opportunity to explore some events as well.

In case you didn’t have the possibility to roam a music festival and discover some new acts, don’t worry, we got you covered. Here we are going to present you the best discoveries of the last month and a little bit above as well.

We got some Electronic Pop and some Funky tunes that will make you move and jump and dance like you’re indeed at a very music festival. unfortunately, we don’t have shitty bathrooms and noisy campsites that won’t make you sleep at night, we hope that’s not a problem.

Let the journey to the moon begin.

CHARLEY – “Runnin’”

The first artist that’s gonna open this Best of The Moon article is a singer from New Haven, US called CHARLEY who just put out her second single called Runnin’. This summer vibes tune is extremely catchy merging different genres from 70s Disco Music to Blues.

All done in a seamless way thanks to the incredible production which highlights every instrument and CHARLEY’s vocals at the same time.

The funky guitars and groovy bassline reminded us a bit of Jamiroquai, anyway the vocal style is pure Country energy. No Wonder she’s going to open for acts like Stevie Nicks, Brandi Carlile and Dave Matthew’s band.

This reckless cowgirl definitely stole our heart with her whip and we are looking forward to seeing what she’s going to put out next.

MAYA YENN – “Better Luck Next Time”

Maya Yenn was just selected for the British Independent Film Festival for her last Music Video for “How Much Can You Swallow”, which we covered in one of our past Best Of The Moon articles, but she didn’t stop there.

She indeed released another very catchy tune called “Better Luck Next Time”. Maya Yenn is here wearing an oversized suit, playing the role of a businessman. Through the lyrics of the song, we can imagine this hard-working man still incredibly busy while the airplane was instead crashing down.

Such a relevant theme, about the dichotomy of work and life (or maybe death in this case). We always think that day by day we are following a path and going somewhere, but is it really like this?

That’s why we love Maya Yenn, while singing this incredibly funny track, reminiscing of some of early Billie Eilish tracks, she is able to talk about this very philosophical theme, with a sad verse and over-the-top happy chorus. We are still not sure if the 9-5 option makes sense, but one thing is sure, Maya wearing a suit and drinking a martini in the lyric video (here) is definitely more badass than us.

Tony Zoo – “Night Rider”

TONY ZOO is an incredible independent artist from Athens, Greece, and he says that producing music is just a hobby for him, but it doesn’t seem like that since what we heard so far sounds impressive and very interesting!

What we loved about this artist is his experimentation and development of analog sounds that are difficult to find in the music industry right now, making his music pretty unique and peculiar.

His latest single “Night Rider” is a retro/80s-style song with groovy drum patterns and vintage synths that literally drives you to another dimension thanks to the outstanding mood of the tune and the remarkable sound design.

This is a song that will relax and ease off your mind, definitely the right tune to listen to after a long day of work or a chill evening!

SAHARA BECK – “AND HER KRYPTONITE”

We are insanely glad to host once again here on SpaceSour the incredible talent SAHARA BECK, and finally introduce her brand new EP released just a month ago: a 5 tracks EP called “And Her Kryptonite” and it includes some old and new tracks.

The EP starts with “Crave Me” and “Kryptonite”, the first 2 tracks released in 2021 that truly express inner Sahara’s personality, definitely a great start also for the new listeners to familiarize themselves with her sound and proceed with the listening of the rest of the EP.

“Nothing Wrong With That” comes next, and is a new release that came out with this EP: literally a masterpiece with flawless vocal production and a musical arrangement like no others, this song could easily be a soundtrack of a movie, or maybe just the soundtrack of your life..!

The ep keeps going with “Stillness” ( included on our OuterSpace Vol.2) and “Teenage Dirtbag” which is her latest single and also our favorite tune of this EP. This latest release is quite different from her main style: is an acoustic production with a delicate and cozy touch that left us speechless, with a beautiful and emotional melody and Sahara’s magnificent voice, in our opinion this release shows the “raw” her, and her incredible skills that prove once again that she’s a true talent.

Moon And Aries – “Paradise”

We are delighted to have with us MOON AND ARIES in this Best Of the Month selection, after knowing a bit more of them with a recent Space Discovery (if you missed it you can find the article here), they had the time to work on their latest EP called “Paradise”.

Needless to say that this EP is another piece of art: a total of 5 tracks that will bring us on a dreamy expedition to the moon with their exceptionally unique sound.

“Take Me Home” is the first track, featuring ethereal pads and acoustic drums, graceful vocals, and deep lyrics, definitely the right way to start an EP.

It follows with “Silence”, a slow tempo and soft tune with a more compelling melody, at times melancholic, for sure the kind of song that can calm and reassure you after a bad day.

“Angels And Demons” is the third song, and with it, Moon and Aries will carry us to the exploration of the unknown with thrilling melodies and exquisite plucks.

“Paradise” as the name of the EP, is an enchanting production and that’s also our favorite track: an epic soundtrack that will easily get stuck in your mind with its beautiful vocals.

The ending track “Mercury” is probably the perfect way to end this EP and briefly summarise what we have listened to so far, featuring an enticing instrumental song that let us understand that sometimes we don’t need words to explain something, just let the music talk.

Georgia Hoareau – “GIRL”

Excited to share this young talented singer and songwriter from Gold Coast, Australia, with some releases already aired on the radio we are confident this artist is on the right path to hitting the billboards: welcoming here in this best selection for this month’s GEORGIA HOAREAU.

Her latest release “Girl” is an indie-pop tune that personally left us speechless with its marvelous production, quality of the mix, and creative arrangement, transmitting to our souls’ emotional vibes and vibrant moods. The song has a sound pretty much acoustic, featuring clean/electric guitars, deep basses and punchy drums, electronic keyboards, and, of course, the unreal voice of Georgia.

The song combines stunning vocal lines with sad/melancholic lyrics, singing about a recent break-up relationship the tune fully expresses itself in a perfect manner, transmitting to the listener a package of emotions that will keep us engaged throughout the song.

Incredible tune and we can’t wait to listen to some brand new stuff from her soon!

RED SKIES MOURNING – “Red Skies Mourning”

What does have Zedd, Skrillex, Steve Aoki and MOBY in common with Red Skies Mourning? before diving into the EDM realm they all played in a metal/hardcore band. there must be something inspiring in this extreme genre of rock that keeps all these musicians inspired and make them different from all the artists.

Indeed Red Skis Mourning, produced/multi-instrumentalist from Baltimore, US, was able to release an entire album (named Red Skies Mourning) in these difficult times that sounds extremely sound in each of his parts.

This extremely solid album has some rock roots that are pretty evident in the production. Anyway, this is still an incredibly catchy electronic album that blinks to the pop and rock genres while remaining incredibly consistent. Some of the tracks also take some inspiration from the latest Synthwave wave, especially synths and drums. Do yourself a favor and don’t skip this hidden gem.

MAJA KRISTINA – “Neighboorhood”

Neighborhood is the new single from pop artist Maja Kristina and that’s also her first single out in 2022. If you know just a little bit about music, you probably know that some of the best talents in the world reside in Sweden. Indeed, it comes as no surprise that Maja Kristina is indeed from Stockholm, Sweden.

Completely independent, she already had a couple of songs placed on the Netflix tv series The Bold Type and this new single proves her incredible potential.

Neighborhood is a single about breakup, at that point where you realized there is no way back. The lyrics hit hard, and it is pretty easy to feel in Maja’s shoes, when a relationship that’s now done, ruins the image one has about all the places they have been. So relatable, so melancholic, yet incredibly catchy.

If you are sick of listening to Driving License from Olivia Rodrigo, well that’s an amazing substitute by an artist that is still independent but eventually about to blow.

WOTTS – “6 Shooter”

WOTTS! A name, a talent. We were just waiting for them, I think everyone here was wondering when this moment would arrive. And here it comes, once again nailing all with this rework of the song from The Desert Island Big Band called “6 Shooter”.

This is Wott’s first collaboration with another artist and we can hear how they always manage to keep their sound without compromising someone else work and adding a unique “Wotts character” to something original, giving life to brand new stuff that can’t definitely go unnoticed.

This production gives some vintage retro vibes, with celestial pads and sparkling 80s keys, full of dreamy fxs the tune is capable of bringing you into another dimension, where everything is bright and you can clearly see a pristine and untarnished world.

Their take on the vocals was also incredible, for sure hours of production were spent behind this release.. impressive job from these guys.

FIFTH LUCKY DRAGON – “Mango”

It is impossible not to move your bum while listening to Fifth Lucky Dragon‘s single called Mango. This track is a perfect merge of the 80s sound and an indie rock extravaganza. Imagine the band Phoenix with Depeche Mode’s first album-era production.

This incredibly catchy project come from the mind of Louis Imperiale, producer and multi-instrumentalist based in Indianapolis, United States. The music video, which you can find here, perfectly represents the mood of the song.

The eclectic production reminded us of early Twenty One Pilots releases, anyway, Fifth Luck Dragon has already an established and peculiar sound. The bright and clean guitars sound amazing next to the 80s vintage synths, creating an anthemic chorus reminiscing Wombats’ early days.

Let’s forget about everything we need to do right now and let’s jump on a trampoline while listening to this song of course.

OZZ GOLD – “Care For”

OZZ GOLD is finally back with another banger, and also this time he couldn’t disappoint us. I don’t think he needs any introduction, after being in many of our articles, we are glad he’s with us also in this best selection for this month! His latest tune “Care For” brings in some fresh breeze of summer, and that’s what we need right now!

This release has a style that at times reminded us a bit of KYGO with a completely brand new sound, and Ozz Gold proved us to be capable of delivering catchy melodies and remarkable tunes also with the use of the vocal chops.

We can hear some stunning vocals that accompany the verses, and the song that slowly builds up around them, leading to the powerful drops full of strong vibes and emotions that are typical of Ozz Gold, I’d say that’s definitely his signature.

If you haven’t listened to this artist before, we highly recommend doing so and getting yourself ready for your favorite summer festival with his music!

SIKA VALMÉ – “Mango”

Don’t worry, that’s not a mistake, that’s indeed the second song we review this month that’s called Mango. This time from Canadian-based artist Sika Valme, and that’s her second single ever being released.

Sika merges, with incredible mastery, sounds from electro-pop to the World Music genre, in a particular song that sounds ethnic yet extremely catchy. her Haitian origins have indeed played a pivotal role in the songwriting of this tune.

The mesmerizing drums, are in fact the ones you might expect from electronic tunes, however, the drum fills are very well arranged together with Sika’s vocal production which plays an important role in the mix.

Her vocals are manipulated in a very peculiar, it indeed sounds like an instrument on its own, immersed perfectly in the mix and accompanying smoothly all the synths. the tune is an immersive experience that merges different cultures in a tune that excites every second.

Alex Slay – “Marathon”

ALEX SLAY is a singer and songwriter based in Nashville, USA, and we can tell you this phenomenal artist doesn’t play around. His style is extremely remarkable and he definitely has the kind of sound that can quickly recall him just by listening to the first seconds of his songs. Alex released a few tracks over the past years, and his last single is in collaboration with the amazing singer CLOVER JAMEZ.

“Marathon” is the name of this release, an R&B tune that mainly focuses on the stunning vocals, but that also gives space to other elements: guitars, synths, drums, and bass are mixed to perfection making the tune sound tremendously clean, deep and sharp.

The song has a slow tempo, perfect to host the incredible flow of the vocals and the sick details of the elements playing in the track.

0% chances to dislike this one, rest assured. Enjoy this tune any time of the day, we already kicked off the evening next to the swimming pool pumping this one on our JBL speaker.

TORTURED SOUL – “Your Body Doesn’t Lie”

Directly from Brooklyn, United States, we are now going to present this incredibly catchy and soulful project name “Tortured Soul“. Born from the mind of John-Christian Urich, they just released a new single called Your Body Doesn’t Lie.

That’s probably the sexiest track we presented today. The groovy guitars and wind instruments set the right mood for a lounge room ready to drink a dry Martini with your girlfriend. Be aware tho, to listen carefully to the lyrics, there might be someone cockier than you trying to get your girl.

The song takes inspiration from the funny and sexy story of how John-Christian got to know his now-wife, and it might give the right energy and inspiration to go and try with that girl at the bar that looks pretty bored with the guy she’s talking with. Perfect summer vibes and charming as hell, Tortured Soul definitely got it right.

KEVIN WHITAKER – “Unpredictable Love”

Last but not least, we are going to introduce you to a fairly new artist called Kevin Whitaker. Kevin released a very energetic tune called Unpredictable Love not long ago. However, today we are presenting you the amazing Remix WLL did for it.

The remix keeps the fierce energy of the original, giving an interesting turn to Kevin’s vocals. This marriage between the more electronic-based instrumentals and Kevin’d gritty vocals, reminded us of the collaboration Rag N’ Bone Man and Calvin Harris had some years ago.

The result is an extremely catchy yet uplifting track that sounds perfect on a Happy Hour session along the shore and on a busy House Club night. The lead synth on the chorus reinforces the original melody in a peculiar way, making the song catchier yet keeping its rock core. Best of luck to these amazing artists.

Evening Space-Tini: Best Chill Songs of the Month – Vol. 1

Emanuele Rosi All, Best of the month Abby Sage, Alvvays, Best chill songs, Best chill tracks, best of the month, Bloomsday, BROCKHOFF, Chill songs, Evening Space-Tini, Goldmyth, Indie, Indie folk, Indie pop, Indie rock, Kristiane ft. Carol Ades, Phoebe go, pop

It’s time for some chill with Evening Space-tini!

That’s our new format post where we share the best tunes that helped us chill during the evening. Together with a nice cocktail and some good company of course.

For this first edition, we selected some artists and releases that really caught our attention during the last few weeks. Some of the artists are fairly new, yet their sound is already incredibly mature and we thought they definitely deserve a shout-out.

The sunset is showing up and the drink is ready.

Let’s begin the happy hour.

Alvvays – “Pharmacist”

Always have alvvays been so much fun to listen to… sorry I’ll rephrase that… ALVVAYS have always been so much fun to listen to. We are incredibly happy they finally return after 5 years of silence. Which they rightly took to spend time writing their upcoming album Blue Rev, which will be out in October.

We cannot wait to listen to the whole album, but in the meanwhile we can listen to their incredible new single “Pharmacist”. This song is an explosion of joy, expressed by every instrument in a psychedelic, weird yeat catchy way.

We are really not surprised this album took so long to finish, the production and sound design are incredible with synths that resemble vintage-sounding ones but always with a modern twist. The fuzzy and noisy guitars give the right punch to the song, remembering that being joyful doesn’t mean being too mellow.

INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/alvvaysband/

Kristiane ft. Carol Ades – “Before The Night Is Over”

Kristiane might be a fairly new artist in the indie scene, anyway, she has an EP and different singles out already. Their third single of 2022 is the sad acoustic-infused tune “Before the Night Is Over”.

Melancholy has never been so bittersweet and the parts sung by Carol Ades, featured in this track, give this feeling a third dimension that goes over the song itself.

These two incredibly catchy vocalists showed us that artists don’t need to sound like other mellow pop/acoustic pop artists in order to do a solid yet catchy tune. The bass and guitar riffs and effects are curated into minimum details creating a very peculiar sound design, different from every other indie tune you might listen around.

INSTAGRAM CAROL ADES: https://www.instagram.com/carolades/

Abby Sage – “Pool Party”

We dive into mysterious waters when we listen to Abby Sage. Her sound mixes dark synths with obscure and ethereal guitar tones. A perfect mix of sounds that excels on her last song “Pool Party”.

That’s her second single during this year, and the Nirvana-like riff perfectly matches the melancholic melody. The subtle choirs reminisce some works from Billie Eilish, anyway Abby Sage definitely steps on a darker path with a Grundge-era-sounding production.

The aggressive bass synth after the chorus and the sudden noise towards the end, winks to some Nine Inch Nails production, and this song would perfectly fit on a David Lynch movie or Tv-series, with its oneiric sound design and theme.

Bloomsday – “Voicemail”

After their first demo, out in 2019, Bloomsday finally put out a series of singles in 2022 which came together on their latest release “Place To Land”. That’s a solid album that conveys some of the emotions of Iris, the singer of the band, in a unique way.

The song we felt more connected to was “Voicemail”, an indie rock tune with a heart made of folk emotions. Raw and honest, that is a song that will stay in our heads for a very long time. The guitar riffs alternate the scene with the vocals in a very intelligent way, making them the main protagonist of the track.

It won’t be a surprise if we see this amazing duo playing a tour with Phoebe Bridgers or Julien Baker in the near future. That’s just their first release and they’re already living their mark in the indie scene.

INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/blooomsday/

BROCKHOFF – “Ever Since We Met”

BROCKHOFF is a fairly new music project based in Germany that recently put out its first EP “Sharks”. Born by the mind of a 22 years musician who used to live in a rural space god knows why in Germany, she started making music after moving to Hamburg.

We don’t know the name of this incredible artist, but we do know one thing: Brockhoff already sounds like a huge band that’s about to take over the world. With a sound that mixes pop rock and the latest indie productions of bands like Soccer Mommy.

Her last single “Ever Since We Met” out of the EP sounds like pure nostalgia and we loved it. If you grow up listening to rock music during the 90s, well that’s your jam, and you should miss this out.

INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/brockiiiiiii/

Goldmyth – “Triptych”

Goldmyth is the music project born by the musician-producer and harpist Jenessa Smith. Yes, exactly, HARPIST, and she indeed plays the harp in the studio and lives. Now with a sick electronic harp, we are speechless.

That’s not because, if we think about harp we think about memes or lullabies, but because Jenessa is able to merge this instrument in a dreamy way without making you fall asleep. Instead, her last single “Triptych” will make you dance no stop. That’s a Dream Pop, almost dance song that reminisces the 80s sound in a way that doesn’t sound corny at all.

She’s already played with some big names in the game like MUNA, Clairo and Phoebe Bridgers. She is also about to release her first album by the end of 2022 and we are incredibly thrilled by this news.

INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/goldmythmusic/

Phoebe Go – “The Kid”

Last but not least for our first edition of Evening Space-tini we are going to introduce you to a new artist called Phoebe Go.

She’s very fresh in the music scene as a solo artist, and she indeed just released her second single called “The Kid”. Anyway, while she just started her solo career her presence in the music industry was already established from other two interesting and successful music projects: Snakadaktal and Two People.

Phoebe has music in her veins, that’s for sure. Working in three different music projects and till make consistent music is something not everyone is able to do. The production on her last tune perfectly merges some catchy yet melancholic vocals with dreamy electric and acoustic guitars. Phoebe probably will never stop making music, and until we are able to listen to her song our ears will be incredibly happy.

Best of the Moon: Best Tracks of the Month – Chapter Six

Emanuele Rosi All, Best of the month A lone acacia, arin, AURELIA, best of the month, best of the moon, COUPDEKAT, DJ G-STRING, dubstep, Electro pop, electronic, electronic house, hannyta, house, Indie pop, IVY EYE, JAAYNS, jordan jones, JZZY, KAHONE CONCEPT, LOCKYER BOYS, MIDNIGHT VILLAGE, pop, SILENT, techno

Welcome to the Moon!

Finally Space travelers, it is officially Summer. We are ready for it, we are definitely ready for the whole festival season and we hope you are too. The tunes that we are going to show you today might be your next summer tunes obsession.

We already fell in love with these songs, which are going to uplift your day as well. Maybe you are still finishing your last exams or the last things for your oppressive job, but we assure you that this selection of tracks will enlighten your day and make you fly wherever you want in the world.

So, imagine yourself with your favorite cocktail in one hand, on an incredible eye-catching beach and this music in the background, and let’s all dive together and start knowing these amazing new artists.

Let the journey to the moon begin.

KAHONE CONCEPT – “Amicably”

The sound of this new artist that we are going to present is incredibly eclectic, taking the best from the 70s to the 90s music eras and blending everything with a modern production. Ben Kahone, singer-songwriter based in Pittsburgh, is the mind behind the music project Kahone Concept, and his latest tune “Amicably” shows his incredible skills.

Ben is a self-taught multi-instrumentalist, and that makes a lot of sense while listening to the track, the top-notch production and arrangement present a groovy bassline and some funky guitars with an incredible sound design that reminisces the 70s.

The acoustic guitar and trumpets, in the end, give that humanity and soul the tune that really opens up the mix and finally, the synths add a sparkling feeling of the 80s and 90s. That’s an incredible recipe for an amazing tune, plus the lyrics and theme on this one are extremely self-reflective on the human interaction, and we love when lyricism is not mundane, even in extremely catchy songs like this one.

COUPDEKAT – “Imaginary Girl”

Here we go with another incredible artist from our favorite city in the world, we are talking about London of course. She’s very young, very talented, and she just released a really cohesive and consistent EP. Ladies and gentlemen…and space travelers, we present you Coupdekat. This hyper pop music project was born from the eclectic mind of Kat Reilly, and she just released her first EP called “Imaginary Girl”.

This is not just a regular release like the others, we could consider this as a concept EP, where all the tracks have a substantial theme that connects the tracks together. Coupdekat is part of Gen. Z and it is pretty clear that the internet and this web era, in general, had a huge influence and impact on her and her songwriting.

Being young and living your life during lockdown with just your cellphone as a companion is indeed something we (older, but not too old people), never really experienced in ut teenage years, and this EP very well encapsulates kind of feeling.

This is a Hyper-pop release and a very catchy pop 8-tracks EP, but there’s more than just that. There’s definitely a lot of glitch-pop inspiration and a lo-fi acoustic track called nepobaby in the middle of the EP that we definitely loved. Best tracks that you must listen to? We’d say Love Online for sure and F.Y.E.O. with its Drum and Bass vibes.

JZZY – “After Effects”

Excited to introduce this incredible artist, singer, and songwriter based in Los Angeles, US, who’s releasing pop music since 2020: a warm welcome to the phenomenal JZZY!

She’s just 20 years old, but her musical skills wouldn’t say so as it sounds like she has years and years of experience! Her latest release “After Effects” left us speechless with its incredible sound, a pop/punk tune with trap elements that hits hard with its 808s, and the “out of this world” vocal melodies.

The tune starts the intro with some electric guitars, giving straight away that punk vibe with these nostalgic guitar riffs, followed by Jzzy’s voice where the tune starts breathing life with her magical timbre. The song follows with an instrumental punk chorus, opening right after with the trap elements where the song slightly changes sound, giving a completely whole new mood: amazing!

Don’t miss out on this masterpiece!

JAAYNS – “Call You Out”

Time to share some crazy vibes with JAYYNS, an incredible singer and songwriter from Leeds, UK.

She’s been in the music industry since 2017, releasing so far numerous singles and 3 EPs, Jayyns knows how to keep her listeners entertained with some amazing tunes that are pretty difficult to forget. Her latest release “Call you out” is honestly something phenomenal, with a dreamy vintage style and a sick sound design we can tell you that this masterpiece will leave you astonished.

The tune starts with a really cool pluck arpeggio, sustained by some filtered synth chords and accompanied by the stunning voice of Jayyns that add a unique vibe to the song.

The tune brings in minimal drums, extremely characteristic sound fxs, and some crisp vocoders during the second verse. This is an exceptionally original tune, rest assured you won’t find anything else close to this out there!

MIDNIGHT VILLAGE – “All You Gotta Know”

Thrilled to share this phenomenal band based in Los Angeles, UK, defined by an alt/pop sound with over 10 releases over the past 2 years, we give a huge welcome to the MIDNIGHT VILLAGE!

After listening to all of their releases, we can say that it’s pretty harmful assigning a categoric genre to these guys, we would say instead that their sound is a powerful mix of emotions and feelings that will accompany you during your daily routine, your car trip to the beach, your chilly evenings, let’s say literally anytime.

Their latest release will show you exactly what we trying to explain here, this is called “All You Gotta Know”: an upbeat and compelling production with groovy drums, vintage electronic elements, electric guitars, and captivating vocals that won’t let you stop moving from the moment it starts to the second it finishes. You really don’t want to miss this one out!

SILENT – “Trouble Maker”

Time to share an extremely unique project called SILENT. What we know so far of this artist is that it is a robot that makes music, and it’s sick! He describes himself as the robot from the future with the ability to translate your emotions through music. His first release is called “Trouble Maker”, it features some great female vocals and impressive sound quality.

The tune has a mellow/dark and nostalgic mood at times (during the pre-drop), with slappy basses and melodic elements, and definitely a “future” vibe which is very difficult to describe but you can feel it just listening to the song!

This is for sure the future sensation that will get you addicted and crave for more, we honestly can’t wait to see what else this robot is capable of!

Unfortunately, we have only a Spotify link here, but we’ll update it with his socials as soon as we know more about it!

IVY EYE – “On My Mind”

Get ready to get back to the 90s with the incredible vibes of IVY EYE!

This incredible duo from Portsmouth, UK, has already shaken the music industry with their incredible sound, with a total of 4 releases so far. Their latest one is called “On My Mind”, and as the title says, this tune just got stuck on my mind!!

This song is a masterpiece that will keep you entertained from the very first seconds with a “movie-style” intro, until the end with its groovy basslines, upbeat drums, vintage keys, and fabulous guitars, all of this garnished with a great dose of vocoders. The vocals perfectly sit the mix and add to the tune a unique touch thanks to the performance and the vocal timbre.

If you think you did dance enough for the night, don’t worry, this tune will make you move even if you are literally dying. Careful, extremely addictive sound!

LOCKYER BOYS – “LATKD”

LOCKYER BOYS is not just a normal boyband, this is a project created by 2 brothers (Will and Charlie Lockyer) with a passion for music and one main objective: to make people happy with their music. In the music industry with 2 releases in total, their latest release is the first of this 2022 (and hopefully not the last!) came out less than a month ago, bringing a nostalgic but positive mood to the table with powerful pop/retro sound!

The tune features an upbeat rhythm with punchy drums and groovy bass lines, with the addition of some 80s-style plucks.

The song has a very remarkable motif throughout the song, but the most outstanding is definitely the chorus that brings in these kids’ choirs making the tune extremely happy and enjoyable! For sure the right tune to boost your daily mood with a healthy intake of music happiness! Don’t miss out on the music video, link below!

HANNYTA – “Fluctuating”

Glad to host again here on SpaceSour the amazing singer and songwriter HANNYTA!

After being featured in one of our previous chapters, she’s back with another single, and also this time did not disappoint us!

The song is called “Fluctuating”, a dance/pop tune with nostalgic melodies and powerful melodic drops. The tune features bouncy basses and punchy drums, with few trance elements and stunning vocal lines, reminding us a bit of the style of the big Avicii at times.

Hannyta knows very well how to structure her lyrics and adjust them to the beat with wonderful melodies, with a perfect metric and a superb flow, proving herself her incredible songwriting skills with meaningful and reliable lyrics, definitely an artist with incredible potential just at the age of 17! Amazing work from here with this release, waiting for more!

AURELIA – “Wax” (Capshun Remix)

Aurelia is a New York producer, vocalist and visual artist also known as Gabriella Bavaro who just released her first single Wax. The single is an electro/dark pop tune with some intriguing vocal lines, which already show Aurelia’s peculiar style.

What we are presenting today is the remix made by Capshun, Dallas-based DJ and producer, which added a darker sound design to the track with a trippy drop with some mesmerizing vocal chops. The tune is more trap-based at times with some hard-sounding subs and 808 bass synths.

Capshun adds some techno/dubstep synth that makes the song more aggressive at times, but still keeps the catchiness and mysterious vibes of the original tune. This would sound amazing in an electronic music venue like the worldly famous “Fabric” here in London, and it’s indeed not really hard to imagine these two artists travel the globe and taking over the world with their sound.

ARIN – “Own Worst Enemy”

It is always exciting for us to introduce a music project that is based in London, and this one is pretty special. Arin, is a singer-songwriter based indeed in London, and his new anthemic pop tune is called “Own Worst Enemy”.

This tune is incredibly catchy and extremely radio-friendly, it would sound perfect after an Ed Sheeran tune, and we do hope that this stuff would hit all the major radios in the city. From the guitar riffs to the synth choice, everything is perfectly merged together in the mix.

This electro-pop song, even tho is extremely catchy, present a slightly melancholic melody, which perfectly stays in line with the lyrics. When we do all sorts of mistakes and we feel we are the only ones to blame when we feel we are our own worst enemy. It does hit hard.

A Lone Acacia – “Hemispheres”

Hemispheres is the debut single from A Lone Acacia. He is a songwriter, musician and producer based in Birmingham. This tune made as fly in a completely different landscape, he created an entire world, describing it through sound.

The song starts with a piano pattern that is going to accompany us through the whole song. Different elements are added when the song continues to grow, starting with the drum and then a rhythmic acoustic guitar that gives a whole new depth to the song.

The sound design is extremely cinematic and has a subtle epic tone, that still maintains the core emotional message of the song, which is mainly relaxing and chill. At least this is what we felt, comparing this to works of other great artists like Moby or Massive Attack. A Lone Acacia created a solid tune that has nothing to envy from other big artists.

Jordan Jones – “Flawless”

Jordan Jones is now part of the Space Sour family, we already covered his past single Stumble and we are extremely excited to show you his last single Flawless. Jordan Jones knows how to write an RnB song that still sounds modern and peculiar, something that not everyone is able to do.

We are already familiar with Jordan Jones’ productions and also this one is pretty Flawless, indeed that’s also the name of the song. The beat takes some RnB and pop elements and merges them with a Trap-ish drum and 808 bass, which makes the tune sound even more tri-dimensional.

Jordan presents this song as a Sunday vibes tune. Everyone has different feelings for this particular day, but if you let yourself slide into this tune, it’s going to make all your thoughts and problems go away, and just enjoy your Sunday, with Jordan’s soothing melody as the theme music for your day.

DJ G-STRING & TC5Official – “I Want You To Know”

This tune we are going to present to you is a collaboration between DJ G-Strings and TC5Official. These two incredible producers joined forces to make this new tune called “I want you to know”.

We already announced summer has finally arrived, and we can be happier than this because we can finally listen to some great house songs like this one, and imagine ourselves drinking a Pina Colada during an Ibiza Happy Hour Party next on the beach.

That’s an incredibly solid house tune like we’ve never listened to before. The vocals are extremely well produced and perfectly match and merge with the instrumentals. The Kick and snap set the right rhythm throughout the song, with the right equalization and effects which already makes you feel like you enjoy this tune during a live DJ set. Definitely one of the songs that will accompany has for our whole summer.

Outer Space: Monthly Track Selection – Vol 5

Emanuele Rosi All, Best of the month alternative, Andrew narvaez, best of the month, electronic, forts, ihatejon, Indie pop, Jay meadows, Maijah, muddasheep, multi-genre, outer space, Rap, rilay, synth, terrarri, trap

Welcome to the Outer Space!

This month we went a little too far from the sun. So don’t expect some warm happy tunes that celebrate how much summer is cool, well apart from a couple of exceptions, still that’s a tour around the universe. Anyway, the main theme of this Outer Space is definitely darker than you might expect from a best of the month article in the middle of June. And we are seriously okay with that, summer doesn’t exist in space, get your head around it.

However, we promise you that these month’s tunes will make your ass move, that’s for sure, there are some very energetic and uplifting tunes on this post.

Be ready, today’s trip is pretty savage and full of hurdles, and that’s how we like it.

Let’s begin our Outer Space journey.

iHateJON – “See No Evil”

Let’s welcome again a phenomenal artist that has landed here on Spacesour for the second time: iHateJON!

No need for introductions, this guy has already proven himself with his previous releases, and he’s finally back with a brand new one that left us speechless: we’re talking about “See No Evil” released just a month ago. This tune has an extremely chill vibe that will flip your mind with its melancholic beat, the incredible timbre of iHateJon, and the stunning flow of his vocal performance. Despite his young age, iHateJON is fully capable of sharing meaningful concepts and personal experiences about toxic relationships, giving the listener the chance to be entertained by the incredible musical arrangement, and get blown away by the clever lyricism and the way it gets transmitted: Definitely the right tune for good listeners and even more appreciated for people who shared similar experiences.

Since there are numerous artists that worked together with Muddasheep to give life to this stunning album, we can say that these songs would never get you bored, keeping your attention until the very last track.

“Take It To The Grave” and “Ascender” are the only 2 tracks without collaborations, even though the album follows a specific style line, we feel that these ones are definitely the heart of the album. Ascender caught most of our attention for its crazy sound design made of distorted lo-fi and punchy drums, melancholic and dreamy pads mixed with rhythmic ethereal plucks, all of this with a solid structure and upbeat rhythms that will definitely get stuck in your mind. The entire album is worth a listen from beginning to end, such an incredible masterpiece.

MAIJAH -“Star-Fairy”

You might recognize Maijah from some of our past reviews and we are very happy that she put out this new amazing EP called “Star-Fairy”. It collects some of her past singles like “Sparkly” ” My Time” and “Autumn Vibes” together with three brand new tunes.

This release is extremely solid, showcasing Maijah‘s singing talent and versatility. From the first tune of the EP Maijah shows us that she knows how to flex in a “sparkly” and colorful way, always keeping her peculiar RnB style on tunes that vary from trap to electronic with some rock-inspiration on some parts, like on Autumn Vibes.

The sound design of the EP sometimes reminded us of Billie Eilish’s last album, both have a variety of sounds and genres and are incredibly well-curated producton. “Tightrope” is an amazing ballad that fits perfectly in the middle of the EP. In the same fashion My Time and Magnetize both sound great as the last tunes, both with an energizing and cathartic ending that made us love this release even more.

ANDREW NARVAEZ – “BETTER WITH MY FRIENDS” (feat. Crooked Hill & Charles Infamous)

Andrew Narvarez, singer-songwriter from New Jersey, with his positive guitar vibes just came back with his second single in 2022 called “Better With My Friends”. Andrew’s Narvarez style is very versatile jumping from RnB-style vocals to old-school rap.

The chorus is extremely catchy and perfectly conveys the sense of friendship and passing the time with the right people. Andrew’s vocals sometimes reminded us of Post Malone, anyway his style is very recognizible and this song he perfectly showcases his talent and singing skills.

Crooked Hills and Charles Infamous, which are featured in the song during the second and third verse, add some very solid variations to tune in a really consistent way. This track sounds amazing now during the beginning of June, especially if you’re listening with your friends.

TERRARRI – “P U L L U P” (feat. Carnell)

Terrarri is a rapper from Jacksonville who just released his last tune “P U L L U P”. He seems to be pretty active this year, since that’s already his fifth release in 2022. Terrarri demonstrated to us that you don’t need to swear or diminish women to do a compelling trap song.

You can leave the guns at home and still feel extremely cool pumping up this song from your car. It might not be a Maserati, but you’d still look pretty damn rad if you turn up the volume during this song, even on a pieceashit car.

Terrarri‘s flow is flawless, the song goes smooth and the autotuned vocals perfectly fit with the instrumentals. The beat is extremely chill and energizing at the same time and Carnell’s feature on the second verse adds the right icing on the cake. Extremely solid trap tune.

FORTS – “The Chemist”

Based in Phoenix, Forts is an alt-pop trio who just released the dark and reggae-inspired tune The Chemist. The first band that came to our mind while listening to this Alt-Pop Dark-Pop tune was “Crosses”, Chino Moreno’s side-project, and since they not really putting out that many records, it is extremely satisfying to listen to bands with a similar obscure sound.

Also the theme behind the song is pretty dark, yet cathartic in some way, as we see Mars, Forts’ singer, imaging herself as The Chemist and dealing with her chemical monster, the cause of all the depressive and stressful thoughts inside one’s mind.

The production and sound design are extremely well-curated sometimes reminiscing some of the latest productions from the band PVRIS.

Forts is a breath of fresh air in the music scene, and we are very excited to see where this band is going to head, wishing them all the best.

JAY MEADOWS – “Steve Rogers”

Let’s be honest, people always focus on the American rap scene, not really mentioning other places in the world. But let’s admit it, Canada does it great as well, and Jay Meadows, the Toronto-based rapper, definitely set the quality bar higher in the rap underground scene.

C’mon, there’s no just Drake in Canada, open up your ears and listen to Jay Meadows‘ last tune called “Steve Rogers”. The bass and subs hit hard on this one, and Jay Meadow’s flow is savage. His vocal style also reminded us of Mac Miller at times, but with a new and fresh twist.

Jay has proved to be very aware of his vocal range, singing a very catchy chorus, with a melody that even tho is more sung than rapped, keeps the tune dark and uplifting at the same time. You should take a look at this incredible new talent, he just started 5 years ago in the music industry but we know that he got a bright future in front of him.

Rilay – “Testimony”

RILAY is a new upcoming artist from Seoul, Korea, who just landed in the music industry with his first release showing us what he’s capable of. We know very little about this guy, and we crave to learn more about him and his releases.

“Testimony” is the debut single that surprised us all with its incredible style: a modern pop-rap track that blends a bit of old school, jazzy melodies, and funky grooves, with a sophisticated electronic sound design that makes this tune an impressive masterpiece and for sure a real pleasure for our ears.

The song features vintage keys, trumpets, and a clean set of drums and percussion that accompany the track in a very smooth way; sitting on top of all of this we have Rilay’s vocals that are definitely the icing on the cake.

Excited to see what this guy will come up with in the next months, can’t wait to hear more!
