In The Spotlight

Pale Jay – “In Your Corner”

Despite hiding his face behind his trademark knitted mask, this Los Angeles-based singer and songwriter bares his soul in his vulnerable songs. Having a flair for music since birth, he went to university to study jazz. Over time he created an unique blend of dusty soul, slow disco and afrobeat. Influenced by Donny Hathaway, Carole King and Labi Siffre, he released his debut single “Dos Uvas” in 2021.

Following the perpetual struggle to accept who you are as a person, his new single is a lyrical conversation with ones self. Taken from his upcoming album “Bewilderment”, expected on August 18th, this tune is an alluring blend of an afrobeat and silky classic soul. With a joyous swagger from the rhythm and sunlit guitars, it’s his soulful falsetto that turns this smooth groove into a warm, winsome gem.

Simone Cardoso – “Fantasy”

New Bedford born and Los Angeles based, this singer and songwriter has been singing all of her life. She began dance lessons aged 3 and voice lessons aged 5. Growing up she starred in stage musicals like Annie and The Wizard Of Oz. She attended Salve Regina University studying music education. Inspired by Kacey Musgraves, Lennon Stella and Lucky Daye, she released her debut EP “S-95” in 2019.

Capturing the excitement brought on by a frolicsome fling or indeed a relationship where love and lust go hand-in-hand, her new single accompanies her words with a late 90s/early 00s R&B vibe. Based on an engaging beat and frisky guitar plucks, it’s the buttery-smooth harmonies and her mesmerizing vocal artistry, that constructs a rich, heavenly musical fantasy to fully immerse and get lost in.
