In The Spotlight

BAILEN – “Send Me Off”

Based in New York City, this band consists of siblings Daniel, David and Julia Bailen. Raised by classically trained parents—a flute-playing mother and a cello-playing father—they grew up surrounded by music. Since forming as a band in 2014, they have performed at festivals like the Newport Folk Festival, played venues like Rockwood Music Hall and opened for artists such as Hozier. Inspired by Simon & Garfunkel, Joni Mitchell and Carole King, they debuted with “I Was Wrong” in 2019.

With introspective lyrics about severe depression and mental health struggles, their new single describes the basic survival skills needed to help deal with a dispiriting state. Taken from their upcoming album “SWIM!!!”, expected on September 25th, this song is a luscious blend of dream-pop with a cinematic flair. With a sleek rhythm, shimmering guitars and a sonorous bass laying down the dreamy, 60s-touched melody, it’s the soaring falsetto vocals that make this a slick groove.

Ruby Roberts – “Magnetic Love”

Hailing from Midsomer Norton, this British singer-songwriter started singing along to Frank Sinatra and Michael BublĂ© with her father during car rides, which led to karaoke nights. As a teenager, she began writing songs in her bedroom and uploading them to TikTok. Since then, she’s played festivals like Reading and Leeds and venues such as The Roundhouse and King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut. Inspired by David Bowie, Lana Del Rey and Kate Bush, she released her debut “Trampoline” in 2025.

Bringing to life the all-consuming attraction and the rush of early love, her new single captures the carefree feeling of a typical summer romance. Inspired by the vibrant, coastal atmosphere of Brighton, this song conjures up images of vintage convertibles and relaxed, sun-drenched afternoons. Joining the flirtatious lyrics is an infectious, euphoric melody of driving percussion, dreamy synths and bright guitars. And with her playful vocals, this is a celebration of young love.
