Gareth Donkin – “Never Gonna Break Your Heart”

Grown up in France before moving to London aged 14, this British artist is a singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist. Born with perfect pitch, he’s mostly self-taught and played jazz drums and piano before the age of 12. He also studied production at the Leeds College Of Music. Since then he’s played festivals like SXSW and famed venues like The Jazz Cafe in London. Inspired by Prince, Stevie Wonder and Earth, Wind & Fire, he released his debut single “Catharsis” in 2019.

Showing an unwavering promise of devotion and emotional security in a relationship, his new single is filled with a deep sense of longing and hope. Taken from his upcoming album “Extraordinary”, expected on April 24th, this song is an ear-stroking, nostalgic slow jam. Effortlessly blending smooth 70s/80s soul and creamy R&B, it starts with a mellow synth, before being joined by a soft beat and sweet strings. And with his luscious vocal harmonies, this soulful groove is a true sonic treat.

Jessie Frye – “Bad Behavior”

Raised in Dallas and based in Denton, this Texas-native singer and songwriter began taking singing lessons aged 8 and added classical piano lessons at the Russian School Of Music aged 11. Since the start of her career she’s performed at festivals like SXSW and Edgefest, as well as venues like House of Blues and The Kessler Theater. She’s also opened for artists like Pat Benatar and Chvrches. Inspired by The Cure, Michael Jackson and Tori Amos, she released her debut EP “The Delve” in 2008.

Lyrically describing a toxic, obsessive and destructive relationship, her new single highlights a love that is not healthy, but rather an addiction to each others drama. Giving a contemporary twist to 80s-infused synth-pop, this song is passionate with a dark edge. Adding a retro bounce to the lively chorus, the sparkling melody got an addictive beat and sunny synths. And with a mesmerizing warmth in her vivacious vocals, this captivating tune is brimming with emotion and rebellion.
