In The Spotlight

Apollo Lovely – “Halfway”

Born as Kim Ho in Montreal, this Canadian singer and songwriter grew up loving the sounds of old-school soul and R&B. In 2012 he toured all around the world fronting his alt-dance pop band Creature. After the band broke up, he continued playing back up guitar for Socalled and Radio Radio. Returning to the vintage influences of his youth, he debuted his first solo project on “Let Me Bleed” in 2020.

Singing about ending a relationship where the partner is only halfway in, his new single sonically celebrates life, despite the hard times. Taken from his upcoming, self-titled debut album, expected to drop in June, it’s the play-ful keys, invigorating rhythm and sizzling horns that make this a bubbly tune. And with his soul-infused vocals and classic Hammond organ tones, this is one jumping groove.

Sol Arctica – “Dancing Here Always”

Brainchild of Melbourne-based Australian musician and producer Chris Lugton, this project fuses together various musical styles, ranging from retro synth to rock. Initially from a hard rock/metal background, he was a touring musician and songwriter for projects like Grandhour, who won Best Rock Artist at the Australian Independent Music Awards in 2016. He debuted with “Shadow Safari” in 2019.

Enlisting the powerful vocals of jazz/soul singer Caterina Branca, his new single explores the best that 70s disco has to offer and drizzles it with a touch of vintage funk. Telling the lyrical story of a love that went nowhere, this joyful tune conveys the excitement of new experiences. Analog recorded with a buoyant bass, zealous strings and sexy brass tickling your dancing feet, this is a thrilling groove.
