In The Spotlight

Emma Lamontagne – “Love Games”

This award-winning Canadian singer, songwriter and musician started her musical endeavors as a child by learning to play classical piano. Influenced by the artistry of Billy Joel and Elton John, she developed a keen interest in pop songwriting at 14. Having won the She’s The One competition aged 16 at the 2016  RBC Bluesfest, she went on to release her debut single “I Don’t Sleep” a year later.

Throwing the rulebook to love out the window, her new single fuses the punchy pop melody, earnest lyrics and sexy vocals with a pinch of attitude. Starting with a smooth vibe and sleek fingersnaps, the tune ascends to an infectious melodic surge in the chorus. With sizzling synths, electronic horns and a gripping hook carrying her polished voice, this is a vibrant, refreshingly honest jam.

In The Spotlight

Kelly Finnigan – “Trouble”

This multi-talented soul singer, songwriter, engineer and producer takes the essence of the noughties soul music revival of the likes of Lee Fields, Sharon Jones and Charles Bradley and takes it several musical leaps further. Basking in the Californian sunshine, he single-handedly conceived his 2019 debut album “The Tales People Tell” – from writing to recording – with a breathtaking, emotive authenticity.

Initially released as the B-side to the 45 wax version of his single “Catch Me I’m Falling”, this track now gets its own limelight as his new single. Resembling a lost treasure from the Stax vaults, the stirring sixties soul sounds of the organic percussion, vintage guitars and full-bodied violins are reminiscent of those exciting glory days, with his ardent vocal grit making this a bit of pure symphonic soul.
