In The Spotlight

Noha Saré – “Cracks Beneath My Skin”

Born and based in Amsterdam, this Dutch singer and songwriter grew up with music from Aretha Franklin to The Beatles being played by her musician dad. Despite being a shy child, she did sing and play music with her brother Marius Koch, a multi-instrumentalist and composer. She started as a session musician and background singer, where she was noticed by producer Tom Bachmann. Inspired by 070Shake, James Blake and FKA Twigs, she released her debut single “Talk To Me” in 2020.

With deeply personal lyrics about her having to deal with debilitating symptoms of an initially undiagnosed illness while life around her seemed carefree, her new single captures the helpless feeling of just wanting to be normal. With a sophisticated blend of Alt-R&B and Neo-Soul, this dreamy song with a mellow rhythm, soft synths and heavenly harmonies is a modern ballad with a touch of 80s charm. And with her sultry vocals, this tender tune is a vulnerable and honest treasure.

Drew Angus – “Keep Your Head Up”

Based in Connecticut, this singer and songwriter first got grabbed by the music bug listening to Stevie Ray Vaughn in the back of his parents’ car. He got his first guitar at the age of 10 and reluctantly began taking lessons. He reached the Hollywood Round on American Idol in 2016. Since then he’s shared the stage with icons like Stevie Nicks and Nile Rodgers and opened for Noah Kahan. Inspired by Tom Petty, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, he released his debut “Something Crazy” in 2013.

Trying to shine a light on emotional resilience, his new single reminds us to stand strong and find hope in dark and difficult times. Taken from his recently released debut album “Late To The Party”, this virulent song adds touches of classic rock and soul to an Americana-infused melody. With a vibrant, joy-filled bounce, it’s the propulsive rhythm, jubilant piano and jaunty guitars that forge a vivacious groove. And with his bubbly, sunlit vocals, this effervescent tune is nostalgic and infectious.
