In The Spotlight

Thalassa – “Petting Pantry”

Based in Bangkok, this Thai singer-songwriter was born into a diverse heritage of Spanish, French and Hong Kong roots. She began training in classical music and opera at just 4 years old. By the age of 8, she was performing in operas and musicals on stage. She’s proficient on piano, guitar, bass and flute, and studied at the Rangsit University’s College of Music. She performed at local venues such as Decommune. Inspired by artists like Clairo and beabadoobee, she debuted with “Hey Girl” in 2020.

Inspired by the movie “When Harry Met Sally”, her new single explores the bittersweet frustration of getting stuck in the friend zone with someone you have feelings for. Blending retro jazz-pop with modern indie-pop, this lively song gives a contemporary twist to some delicious vintage vibes. Giving the feel of a live band, it’s the syncopated drums, bright organic keys and cheerful guitars that raise our spirits. And with her bright, honey-sweet vocals, this bouncy groove is an absolute joy.

David Kushner – “Ritual”

Hailing from Chicago and based in Los Angeles, this singer-songwriter grew up in a music-loving family, with his four sisters playing the piano and a brother playing in a band. He took guitar lessons aged 9, but didn’t pursue music at first. He returned to it after high school, taking vocal lessons and starting songwriting. He’s played festivals like Rock Werchter and Bonnaroo, as well as venues like The Troubadour. Inspired by Hozier, Bon Iver and Adele, he debuted with “Miserable Man” in 2022.

Singing about feeling trapped in a painful vicious cycle of a toxic relationship, his new single explores the emotional exhaustion of going through the same hurtful patterns over and over again. Taken from his upcoming album “Devotion”, expected on November 13th, this song blends gothic-touched, orchestral pop with melancholy. With a somber piano, cinematic strings and rising percussion padding the anthemic vibes, it’s his gravelly baritone voice that makes this a dramatic tune.
