The California Honeydrops – “365 Flavors”

Formed in Oakland in 2007, this genre-defying soul band got their start busking on the streets and inside subway stations. Consisting of Lech Wierzynski, Benjamin Malament, Yanos ‘Johnny Bones’ Lustig, Lorenzo Loera and Beaumont Beaullieu, they’ve become a staple on the music festival circuit, having played New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and North Sea Jazz to name but a few. Inspired by Sam Cooke, Ray Charles and Louis Armstrong, they debuted with “Soul Tub!” in 2008.

Celebrating finding the person you feel is ‘the one’, their new single is about finding all the variety, excitement and fulfilment you need in a single partner. Singing about discovering something new every single day of the year, this song creates an authentic analog sound and blends classic Stax soul and Motown R&B. With a tight percussion, bright guitars and warm vintage organ, it’s the punchy horn section and raspy, falsetto vocals that make this vibrant tune a feel-good groove.

Julia Wolf – “Deep End”

Hailing from Long Island, singer, songwriter and producer Julia Jade Capello started playing classical piano aged 7. Suffering from severe social anxiety, she began using music and writing poetry as a coping mechanism. She got a music degree from SUNY Purchase Conservatory of Music. Since then she’s played various festivals such as Lollapalooza and Reading & Leeds and opened for Machine Gun Kelly. Inspired by Avril Lavigne, SZA and Phoebe Bridgers, she debuted with “Captions” in 2019.

Fueled by personal experience, her new single tackles the heavy strain felt when sacrificing your own mental health in order to save a relationship from dying. With lyrics covering doubt, overthinking and endless distractions, she’s created an atmospheric alt-pop melody. With an organic sounding guitar, dipped in melancholy, a pulsating rhythm and a touch of soft strings adding texture to the tune, it’s the vulnerable delivery of her vocals that effortlessly blend all sonic layers.
