In The Spotlight

PEER – “Bird”

These four rockin’ Dutch teens from Middelburg got together as a band in 2014, won the Buma Music Academy Award and released their debut single “Change Me” all in that same year. Diving into the festival circuit, they played a multitude of major gigs and went on to win lots of competitions along the way and earning rave reviews with their dynamic indie-rock sound with a  britpop edge.

Creating the perfect soundtrack for enjoying the plentiful sunshine at the beach or on a roadtrip, their latest single epitomizes the essence of Summer fun. With a carefree, jolly feel, they dipped their indie-rock stylings in a pool of retro Britpop sounds. A happy rhythm, playful guitars, a highly infectious hook and some good-natured vocals form a happy-go-lucky jam, which feels deliciously joyous.

Rén With The Mane – “Changes”

Renée Orshan, aka Rén, is a Brooklyn-based indie-pop songstress who embodies her principle of letting go of everything holding you back and living life to the full. Her performances are a family affair with her brother Reuben on lead guitar and her sister Eden singing background vocals. Inspired by the likes of Kimbra, No Doubt and Lily Allen, she tries to inject a fun, quirky tint to her pop style.

Her latest single has a little of everything that is good about music. It has an ethereal atmosphere to which you can just dream away, but at the same time it’s also a very catchy, uplifting pop song. With a laid-back, guitar-driven melody, a smooth, yet lively rhythm which leads to an invigorating climax and gorgeous, sultry vocals stroking your senses, this is an absolutely enchanting auditory gift.
