In The Spotlight

Aleem – “Bad Habits”

Born with a natural musicality, this Chicago-native singer and songwriter first showed his artistry playing drums on pots and pans aged 5. Before the age of 12, he was writing his own songs. Next to the drums, he also plays guitar. Since he’s supported artists like Fifth Harmony and Little Mix on tour. Inspired by The Script and Mat Kearney, he debuted his R&B tinged pop sound on “Find Out” in 2016.

Chronicling a story of being addicted to an unhealthy relationship, his new single uses a boisterous indie-rock melody to accompany the honest, relatable lyrics. With a relentlessly infectious beat and rich, euphonic guitar riffs latching on to your eardrums, it’s his charismatic vocals that worm their way into your heart. Filled with a sonic passion and verve, this jam is one habit you want to keep.

Dylan – “Nineteen”

Born in the small village of Bures as Natasha Woods, this British singer and songwriter grew up in the hues of her dad’s rock collection, such as Aerosmith and Guns N’ Roses. Finding that piano lessons were not for her, she chose the guitar after hearing her brother play. Named after the name she would’ve been called had she been born a boy, she debuted with “Bad Bitches Beat Heartbreak” in 2019.

Dipped in colorful nostalgia and memories of the carefree days of youth, her new single is a sonic escape to the laid-back summer days of being 19. Easing her way into the track, she begins with her enchanting voice and a minimal, yet magical backing, before the song comes to life in the bubbly chorus. With sparkling synths, a catchy rhythm and some neon pep, this gem is as charming as it is perky.
