Ida Fiona – “Off Switch”
Originally from Norway, but now based in Sweden, this pastel-dipped singer and songwriter creates relatable lyrics with topics ranging from love to mental health. Inspired by artists like Taylor Swift, Troye Sivan and Julia Michaels, she finds the balance between authentic lyrics and her playful pop world. She debuted her 80s-themed, glittery synth-pop sound with “FOMO” earlier this year.
Setting foot into a neon-flickering, retro soundscape, it’s the bewitching synths which draw you into the crevices of her second single. When you reach the infectious chorus, bursting with upbeat electronic magic, you’re hooked. Wrapping intense lyrics in a blanket of synth-driven sparkles, she marries real-life angst with buoyant 80s vivacity and creates a tune you don’t want to switch off.

Jak Lizard – “Somebody Like Me”
Growing up in a household with parents and siblings all favoring their own music, this New York-based singer and songwriter was engulfed with a multitude of genres, ranging from Stevie Wonder and Steely Dan to Outkast and Common. As part of the music collective 99SUBLIME he’s worked with a slew of inspiring artists. He debuted his soulful, nostalgic mixture with his single “Sisters” in 2018.
Dipping old-school R&B and sunlit soul into cheerful, summery vibes, his new single is bursting with upbeat indulgence. Taken from his latest EP “Humphrey” and featuring the musicality of Brasstracks, this chirpy tune is bobbing along on its rosy sonic waves. Championing self-acceptance in a pressured world, it’s the jaunty keys and perky horns that make this groove sound irresistibly fun.
