In The Spotlight

Alex Crichton – “Stuck On You”

Hailing from Ottawa, this Canadian singer-songwriter gradually and naturally gravitated towards a guitar, which always was a fixture in his childhood home. He studied the instrument thoroughly and taught himself how to play. In his teens he added audio engineering to his skill set. Since the start of his career, he’s played venues like the Barclays Center and State Farm Arena. Drawing inspiration from Ed Sheeran, John Mayer and The 1975, he released his debut “I’ll Wait For You” in 2023.

Capturing the isolating feeling you get when you’re unable to move on from a past relationship, while seeing the whole world moving forward with their lives, his new single explores the emotional stalemate of holding on to a past love. Driven by a cinematic blend of his acoustic alt-pop roots and modern electronic touches, it’s the punchy drums, ambient synths and warm bass guitar that forge a layered melody. And with his yearning vocals, this melancholic tune is a true healing gem.

Blank Instrument – “Know Nothing”

Based in Perth and born as Kim Franklin, this Australian singer-songwriter’s musical journey didn’t begin in her youth. She started as a wordsmith while maintaining a regular job. Using it as an outlet for her chaotic mind, she found her way to the piano and later the acoustic guitar, which she taught herself. Preferring tight-knit community shows, she’s performed at Clancy’s Fish Pub in Fremantle. Inspired by The Paper Kites and Mumford & Sons, she debuted with “Red” in 2020.

Celebrating the freedom of letting go and embracing the unknown, her new single reminds us that all of us are figuring life out as we go. Taken from her recently released album “Jumping At Ghosts”, this song has a warm, introspective country-folk melody. From the acoustic guitar, lively rhythm and Hammond Organ, to the unexpected glockenspiel, it’s a multi-layered soundscape. And with her honest and compelling vocals, this comforting tune opens us up to whatever the future holds.
