In The Spotlight

Jack Pavlina – “Star Child”

Hailing from Campbell and now based in Los Angeles, this singer and songwriter’s journey with music started when he entered dance classes aged 5. He also learned to play trumpet and bass, before he picked up a guitar aged 13. He graduated from the Musicians Institute, performed in iconic venues like The Viper Room, played festivals like SXSW and BeachLife and opened for Shwayze. Inspired by Mac Miller, Dominic Fike and Harry Styles, he released his debut “(408)” in 2023.

Reflecting on how quickly time progresses and how the different eras in our life conclude and new ones start, his new single breathes an intimate pop atmosphere. Starting with an understated guitar and his distorted voice, the song speeds up with a driving beat and refreshing keys. Injecting the melody with some euphoric happiness, he blends laid-back alternative pop vibes with a multi-layered instrumentation. And with his joyous vocals, this tune is a pleasurable energetic groove.

Brooke Lee – “Desert Darling”

Born in Charlotte and based in Nashville, this singer and songwriter started singing in church from a young age. Discovering a love for classic rock and country as a teen, she started her first band aged 15. Since the start of her career she’s performed at festivals like Carolina Country Music Fest and venues like Eddie’s Attic. She also opened for Willie Nelson and Gavin DeGraw. Inspired by P!nk, Miranda Lambert and Chris Stapleton, she released her debut “Head In The Clouds” in 2023.

Singing about the first magical moments when falling in love, her new single captures the desire never to have the butterflies to end or the rush to fade. Taken from her upcoming same-titled EP, expected on April 17th, the song is a modern mixture of lively country and punchy pop. Starting softly with a mellow guitar and joined by driving drums, the vibrant melody leads to a bustling chorus. And with her vivacious vocals, this is a bubbly, sunshiny tune about early, electric romance.
