In The Spotlight

Philippa Hanna – “The Hero”

Hailing from Sheffield, this acclaimed British singer and songwriter was born into a musical family. Her lyrics are heavily influenced by her Christian faith, which are poetically blended with her country and folk-style music. She opened for the likes of Wet Wet Wet, Anastacia and Lionel Richie on their tour, released several albums, an EP and two autobiographical books since her debut in 2007.

Her latest single, taken from her 2017 album “Come Back Fighting”, is brimming with powerful, Nashville-inspired, contemporary country/pop twang. With deeply personal, inspiriting lyrics, meant to destigmatize mental health issues, the finely-tuned instrumentation of classic country guitars and lively percussion blend with her passionate vocals, proving her to be a hero of the genre.

In The Spotlight

Sheila & The Kit – “Time Again”

Bo Koek and Suzanne Kipping wanted to create a live act with music that they themselves would dance to. With the added musicality of Ralf Pouw and Chris Doyle this infectious Dutch synthpop band from Amsterdam was born. They created a nostalgia-dipped, synth-driven sound, soaked in the colorful 80s and introduced it on their debut single “Homeschool Sweethearts” back in 2017.

Their latest single takes the listener on a neon-laced journey without the need for a Delorean. Dipping their signature synths in more poppy 80s hues, it’s a high-energy, musical pastiche of the neon decade. Reminiscent of the feelgood pop of Madonna or Whitney Houston, it also has a slight italo-disco vibe, making it a catchy retro dancefloor filler you want to hear time and time again.
