Hidden behind the moniker Tall Children is British guitarist Ben Hughes from Liverpool. After being encouraged by his dad, he picked up his first guitar aged 5. He studied at Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts and had his first gig when he was 13. When he branched out into songwriting, his own sound started to form, which is organic, back-to-basics pop with poignantly personal lyrics.
Like all of his songs, his latest single started off with an idea and a guitar, but it evolved way beyond that. It has a fun, upbeat pop melody, but the addition of electronic beats and sizzling synths gave it a very funky flavor. With relatable lyrics about the need for validation in life and his captivating vocals, it’s a wonderfully infectious pop song in a delectable funkalicious wrapper.

This Canadian trio, comprising of Neil Carson, Phil Taylor and Steph Mercier, were previously known as Xprime, but they changed their identity, because they felt the band was more a singular entity. Their new sound is alternative pop/rock, which they describe as “navigating the sweet spot between scorch and swoon”. Mostly a live band, they’ve toured extensively playing to exhilarated audiences.
Taken from their self-titled debut album, which was released in 2017, this catchy song is a modern alternative pop/rock track, but slightly reminiscent of the power-pop tunes of the 80s. The smooth harmonies from their melodic vocals and a driving beat, crisp hooks and sweeping electric guitar riffs give it a very distinct full-bodied flavor. It’s a lively piece of sonic bliss.
