Doe Paoro – “Over”
Behind Doe Paoro is Los Angeles-based pop singer and songwriter Sonia Kreitzer, who is a self-taught pianist and vocalist. She’s traveled through the Himalayas, spending several weeks in silent meditation and finding inspiration from Lhamo. Creating an inspirational hybrid of a myriad of decade-spanning genres, such as pop, soul, R&B and dubstep, she released her debut “Slow To Love” in 2012.
Taken from her upcoming album “Soft Power”, to be released on October 19th, her latest single pays tribute to the smoldering soul of the 60s. Recorded in London with a live band, she’s dipped her seductive, smoky vocals in harmonies akin to The Ronettes. With a slick beat, playful piano and singing guitars, this is an emotive throwback to the heart-wrenching love songs of the 60s.

The Beths – “You Wouldn’t Like Me”
New-Zealand singer, songwriter and guitarist Elizabeth Stokes and high-school pal guitarist Jonathan Pierce met bassist Benjamin Sinclair and drummer Ivan Luketina-Johnston at University where they all studied Jazz. They started a project exploring Pop and Rock sounds of their youth, by creating their own, guitar-heavy, Indie-Rock style. They released their debut EP “Warm Blood” in 2016.
This appetizing taster of their first full-length album “Future Me Hates Me” is quite an exhilarating slice of guitar heaven. Blending rousing contemporary Indie-Pop with touches of 60s Guitar-Rock, gives it an unique, full-bodied sound. With a summery melody and whimsical lyrics playing with the stirring drums and the rich electric guitar hooks, you can’t help but like this vitalizing Rock groove.
