The end of April and the beginning of May have been big for independent releases and otherwise. These 3 tracks are from artists you’ve never heard about, they’re here to give listeners something fresh, and they’re all brand new!
Manic Year Ft. Indigeaux & Brandon G – Davy Crockett
‘Manic Year’ is an electronic pop track with quirky lyricism, fun references, diverse rhythmic vocal flow, and synths with a mesh of atmosphere and energy. On top of that, it’s dynamic. This is one of those tracks that feels hook-driven to start, with each bar having interesting wordplay or nostalgic references to pull listeners in further. Later on, the lyrics move toward family, connection, and personal change. This track is unique in its flow, and each vocalist has something unique to bring to the table.
Mark Boone – Our Last Goodbye
‘Our Last Goodbye’ is an atmospheric indie track that meshes folk and electronic sounds with pop harmonies. This track finds a way to be quirky as its synths beep around and play with a unique percussive rhythm. But the vocal cut in with a haunting rasp and a spoken-word-like twang at times. It gives an originality in the way the vocals and instrumentation play into each other with different genre influences. This track explores the pain that comes when relationships end and what it’s like to feel a missed final opportunity to connect.
Nicole Obarzanek – Into Another World
‘Into Another World’ is an exciting, futuristic synth-pop track with EDM influences and a captivating vocal melody. The energy is great, as it has a forward drive the whole time, but it saves the energetic pick-ups for the chorus. Though it has that high energy, it allows itself to have space for the important peaks that make a track truly a hit. The lyricism is about wanting to find one’s fantasy by running toward the future with confidence.
