Early Eyes – “Marigolds”

This quintet from Minneapolis was founded in 2016 on a college campus. Consisting of Jake Berglove, Joe Villano, John O’Brien, Des Lawrence and Wyatt Fuller, they first started making music together as a hobby, but took their infectious soul-pop sound across the city, leading to local venue First Avenue to name them best new band of 2017. In that same year they released their debut EP “Minutes”.

Starting smooth and easygoing with an acoustic piano and Jake’s crisp voice, their new single soon develops into an infectious, upbeat groove. Blending a vintage vibe with a touch of jazz makes the bouncy beat, plucky bass and sunshiny keys paint a delightful, aural Summers day, while the soulful vocals sound silky and refreshing. And with sleek horns, this is a sanguine spark in an uncertain world.

Holly Humberstone – “Falling Asleep At The Wheel”

Hailing from Grantham, this young British songbird grew up listening to the warmth of acoustic music. Inspired by the likes of Damien Rice, Lorde and HAIM, she adds a darker, electronic twist. Already picked up by BBC Introducing and having played Glastonbury in 2019, she was building a fan base before she debuted with “Deep End” early 2020, which led to a tour with Lewis Capaldi.

Although the foundation of her new single is emotive indie-pop, it reveals to be so much more. Bubbling like a musical fountain, the vitalizing beat, mellow piano and electro touches fuse together into a rousing soundscape in which the melody is both smooth and emotional, as invigorating and upbeat. And with an added shimmer and vocal warmth, this is a magical slice of her musical future.
