In The Spotlight

girli – “Romantic Sadness”

Born as Amelia Toomey in London, this British singer/songwriter wrote her first song aged 8. However, it was a Tegan & Sara concert aged 14 that sparked the desire to become a musician. She attended the East London Arts & Music college developing a love for beats and rap. Since then she’s performed at festivals like Latitude and supported artists like Declan McKenna. Inspired by Tove Lo, Fletcher and Scissor Sisters, she released her debut “So You Think You Can F**k With Me Do Ya” in 2015.

Written in an attempt to stop the tears over a still lingering love, her new single follows deep heartbreak from devastation to a new-found strength and self-love. Taken from her upcoming album “It’s Just My Opinion”, expected on May 8th, the song starts with a moody synth, but comes to life with a driving beat, understated strings and pure passion. And with her aching, yet commanding vocals expressing the emotional pain, this imposing tune is the final step in moving on to a new future.

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.
