In The Spotlight

John Muirhead – “I Tried Love”

Based in Toronto, this Canadian singer and songwriter took his first musical steps in church choirs and community singing gatherings. Attending his first concert of Street Dogs aged 12 ignited his musical spark and soon he picked up a guitar and taught himself to play. Since  he’s played festivals like Winnipeg Folk Festival and Gate To Southwell in the UK and venues such as Paradiso. Inspired by Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young and The Lumineers, he debuted with “Yesterday’s Smile” in 2016.

His new single is about dealing with the unhealthy ways we cope with the heavy burdens modern life can bring in favour of love, human connection and hope. Taken from his recently released album “The Nomad & The Never Ending Road”, this song combines honest lyrics with a slow-building indie-folk melody. Opening with his fingerpicked acoustic guitar, it slowly swells with added piano and steady drums. And with his authentically raw vocals, this lush anthem is pure passion.

In The Spotlight

Chloe Jane – “Feel The Love”

Born as Chloe Schindler and based in New York City, this singer and songwriter was exposed to the performing arts at a young age. She studied at the Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music. Also an elite figure skater, she began her career as a nightclub DJ at just 13 years young. Since she’s performed at New York Fashion Week and venues like Amnesia Ibiza and The Mercury Lounge. Inspired by Lady Gaga, Whitney Houston and David Guetta, she released her debut “Superstar” in 2017.

With lyrics going from fear of rejection to self-acceptance, her new single was written as an escape from a dark and divided world. Sparkling with a high-energy, 70s-infused disco vibrancy, the song calls for unity and human connection. With an insatiable groovy bass, funky electric guitar and radiant retro synths giving the track a Nile Rodgers-style vitality, it’s her syncopated, joyous vocals that fuse the sonic elements into an infectious tune that will entice you to the dancefloor.
