In The Spotlight

Abbie Gordon – “Talking To Talk”

Hailing from Irvine, this Scottish singer-songwriter got enamored by music at the age of 6, first shining through dance and musical theatre. During lockdown she taught herself piano and guitar, while developing her songwriting skills. In 2023, she got her first break through a youth project called Hit The Road. She has played festivals such as The Great Escape and venues like King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut. Inspired by Taylor Swift, Inhaler and Chappell Roan, she debuted with “Out Of Wine” in 2026.

Capturing the painful realization that intimacy stops being natural and starts feeling obligatory, her new single explores the arduous moment a relationship loses its magic. Despite the emotion-laden lyrics, this song is a high-energy melody designed for the dancefloor. With fast-paced percussion, sparkling synths and a bouncy bassline laying down the infectious tune, it’s her bright, energetic vocals giving vulnerability a spirited spark that makes this vivacious groove feel highly danceable.

J. Bernardt – “Remedy”

Born in Kortrijk as Jinte Deprez, this Belgian singer-songwriter grew up being classically trained on the violin, but as a teenager he immersed himself in the alt-rock scene of bands like System Of A Down and Linkin Park. In 2004, he and two friends formed the band Balthazar. He also studied pop and jazz at the Royal Conservatory Of Ghent. He’s played festivals like Rock Werchter and Lowlands. Inspired by James Blake, Chet Faker and Frank Sinatra, he debuted solo with “Calm Down” in 2016.

With positive lyrics about finding hope and liberation after having experienced heartbreak, his new single chooses the power of healing over dwelling on sadness. Taken from his upcoming album “Wild Swim”, expected on November 13th, this song is a delicious brew of soul, funk and synthpop. Opening with retro percussion and imposing brass, it’s the wall-of-sound Motown-like backing vocals and his deep, smoldering vocals that make this vibrant groove a celebration of new beginnings.
