In The Spotlight

Lauren Rocket – “Electric City”

Born and raised in Los Angeles as Lauren White, this sparkly singer, songwriter and musician grew up playing and composing classical piano music. At 16 she took her music in a different direction, namely the all-girl pop band ROCKET. She’s also worked with Junkie XL and Fitz & The Tantrums and played numerous music festivals. Her debut solo single “Diamond Nights” dropped in October 2018.

Standing in the glow of the technicolored neon lights of the 80s, her latest single gives a contemporary twist to the retro-dipped synth-pop tunes of the decade. With bouncy beats carrying the electronic melody, a touch of rock guitars and a sizzling sax solo, it timetravels back to the upbeat glamour of the 80s with ease and with her mesmerizing vocals, it’s an electrifying synth-pop gem.

Goldsmoke – “Someone Like You”

Consisting of London-based brothers Tom and Nick Shirm, this rousing future-soul duo draws their inspiration from growing up with the sounds of Earth, Wind & Fire, Michael Jackson and Steely Dan. With songs ranging from electro-soul, via jazz fusion, to heavy funk, they’ve taken those vintage influences and enriched them with their own funky vibe. They debuted with “Cold Call Lover” in 2016.

Bursting out with a funkalicious rhythm, multi-harmonic vocals and a multitude of smokin’ soul, their latest single is filled to the brim with red-hot, retro-dipped pizzazz. With the addition of some Zapp & Roger-styled talkbox sounds to the polished production stacking yet another influence onto this exhilarating funk feast, it creates a groovy and energetic floor-filler packed with vintage fun.
