MUST LISTEN 099
Every week, we’ll be bringing you Must Listen: a series that's a compilation of rising artists along with songs that must be added to your everyday playlist. This week’s playlist consists of emerging acts like Joyce Wrice, jame minogue, and Jaywop.
jame minogue
Genre-defying Dominican-Irish artist jame minogue redefines global pop with the release of his irresistible single “Hate Being In Love.”The upbeat, heavily Latin-infused track sees the artist seamlessly melding different sounds from cultures across the world, driven by sun-kissed melodies, irresistible salsa piano licks, live-recorded rhythmic guitar, and Latin percussion, ending with a passionate live-conga instrumentation.
Dreamer Boy
Shapeshifting singer/songwriter Dreamer Boy continues to keep listeners on their toes, returning today with the new synth-pop thriller "OVER EVERYTHING." The single fuses the Nashville artist's affinity for romance and earnest reflection with his insatiable desire for musical experimentation.
Love You Later
Love You Later — the project of Nashville-based artist and songwriter Lexi Aviles releases their latest single “Keepintouch.” The track illustrates Love You Later’s ability to create wholly addictive alt-pop earworms. While confronting her discomfort with being alone and, subsequently, her journey towards finding peace and catharsis in learning to like her own company.
Jaywop
Jaywop has returned with his latest offering, Corduroy--a follow-up and an accompaniment to his 2021 project, Suede. The consistencies between Suede and Corduroy go deeper than a textural theme. Jaywop sought sonic cohesiveness between the two works. On standout track “Drive” we truly see the developments of his growth with confident flow paired with an extremely polished production we see Jaywop firmly claiming his space in the scene.
Joyce Wrice
R&B star Joyce Wrice reconnects with Kaytranada for irresistible new single “Iced Tea.” The track is a fun dance record where we see Joyce step into her divine feminine paired with a silky smooth chorus and an infectious funk-driven production.
Nick Vyner
Los Angeles-via-Houston artist Nick Vyner enters 2022 with a glistening new single that puts his keen sense of creative pop stylings on full display. Produced by favorite co-creators Luka Kloser and Jack Laboz, “Foundation” laces Vyner’s melodic vocals through a gripping guitar groove, balancing immediate catchiness with intricate songwriting that positions him as a dynamic singer-songwriter talent.
Ravyn Lenae
Chicago-born Ravyn Lenae shares her new single "Light Me Up." The gentle, slow-burning R&B ballad arrives alongside an Aliyah Otchere-directed video that sees Lenae perched on a swing over a canvas of hands as she performs the song. The track touches on exploring the unknown with a new love; leaning into those intense feelings while still remaining truly vulnerable.
Veeze
The enigmatic Detroit rapper returns with “let it fly,” adding to the already vast collection of his previous catchy, anthemic singles. With Tye Beats on the production, veeze spits memorable bars in his signature nonchalant flow, combined with a terribly addicting hook to make the track impossibly hard to forget.
