In The Spotlight

Natalie Shay – “Perfume”

Graduating from the BRIT School Of Music and having won multiple awards already is quite an achievement for this 19 year old, British singer and songwriter from London. With her bubbly indie-pop sound, she’s supported artists such as JP Cooper and Mullally and performed at London’s most renowned venues. Her previous single “This Feeling” reached number 4 on the iTunes charts earlier this year.

Her new single takes her modern and bouncy indie-pop sensibilities and adds some retro-tinted 80s electronics into the mix. The glistening quality of the dynamic synths and the catchiness of the rhythm generates an upbeat, summery glow, while her multi-layered, perky vocals provide warm sunshine to this peppy, happiness-inducing synth-pop delight with a wonderfully nostalgic 80s twist.

In The Spotlight

Ilang – “Magic”

This Scandinavian singer and songwriter kicked off his career in 2008 as the front man of the band The Benefits, which debuted with their EP “Seize The Day” a year later. After the band split in 2012, he wrote songs including one featuring Cee Lo Green. Influenced by Classic Motown soul, Earth, Wind And Fire-like funk and Michael Jackson pop, he released his soulful EP “Nothing And Then Some” in 2016.

With his name meaning “good travel partner” in Greenlandish, he takes us on a musical journey back to the glorious 80s. The neon-splashed beats and colorful synths create a powerful pop/funk palette of epic amplitude. His soulicious vocals and the poptastic punch of the lively, Michael Jackson-inspired, retro vibes, make it a swanky slice of vintage glitz with a dash of 80s glamour.
