Jasmine Crowe – “Breaking Things”

This Hawaiian singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist started playing classical violin aged 3, singing at 5 and wrote her first song aged 14. Apart from the violin, she also plays piano and guitar and is influenced by pop music, Broadway musicals, orchestral arrangements and classic rock. Now living in Los Angeles, she released her debut single “Supernova” back in 2014.

Highlighting her vivid songwriting mastery, her latest single is a break-up song wrapped in an enticing power-pop shell. With catchy finger snaps and efficacious drums creating a captivating backdrop for her strong, impassioned vocals, this red-hot tune beautifully combines the fierce, emotional lyrics with gripping, danceable pop, making it both relatable and dynamic.

Flyer Learning – “Taste It”

The Institute of Flyer Learning is a five-piece neo-soul collective from Brooklyn, consisting of Brandon and Jonathan Hogstad, Adam Carlson, Alix Tucou and singer Chandanie. Drawing inspiration from artists like Erykah Badu and Daft Punk, they synthesized an unprecedented high-energy blend of neo-soul, neo-funk and hip-hop sounds using both analog and digital elements.

The latest goody from their self-titled debut album is brimming with pure disco delight. True to their fusion of styles, the 70s sounding groove effortlessly blends retro disco flair with modern electronic tones. The phenomenal vocals smoothly switch from hip-hop verses to a melodious funky chorus. It’s a highly infectious dance-floor filler with a titillating taste of vintage glamour.
