In The Spotlight

Emily Henry – “Stoplight”

Based in Washington DC, this elegant indie-pop singer and songwriter grew up listening to her dad playing guitar and her mom singing. She started writing songs at a young age, putting melodies to poems recited by her favorite literary characters. Inspired by artists such as Taylor Swift, Ellie Goulding and Marina, she merges indie-pop with folk flourishes and debuted with her EP “Matchsticks” in 2016.

Dipped in a melancholic nostalgia and atmospheric hues, this track is an accomplished amalgamation of rich retro flavors. Taken from her new album “The New World”, it blends vibrant electro-pop with resonant electric guitars and a virulent rhythm. And with an overall Fleetwood Mac vibe and her emotive Stevie Nicks-touched vocal grit, this pastel-infused folk-pop groove is a delectable sonic snack.

In The Spotlight

Tertia May – “Love On My Own”

Hailing from London, this British soulstress grew up in a household with a jukebox, playing anything from Martha & The Vandellas to The Sex Pistols. Initially wanting to be an actress, she decided at the age of 15 she’d rather be a singer. Inspired by the legendary voices of Aretha Franklin, Erykah Badu and Etta James, she debuted her standout soul, jazz and hiphop blend on “Chocolate Cosmo” in 2017.

Playful, easygoing and filled with bubbly fun, her new single effortlessly balances elements of diverse genres. Taken from her upcoming EP “TM Radio”, expected to drop on November 12th, it’s the whimsical rhythm, jaunty R&B guitar plucks and jazzy horns that carry her smoldering, soul-infused vocals over the frivolous melody. With both retro flavors and a modern aroma, this is pure sonic love.
