In The Spotlight

Spencer Crandall – “What Do We Do Now?”

While growing up in Denver, surrounded by his parents’ love for country music, this singer and songwriter was more a music fan than a musician. Initially wanting to become a football player, an injury led him to his guitar. Now based in Nashville and inspired by an eclectic variety of music, from Taylor Swift and Keith Urban to Emimem and Drake, he debuted with his single “Let It Happen” in 2015.

Chronicling the feelings of rebuilding your life again after a breakup, his new single asks the question on how to untie your life from the life you shared with your ex. Combining his poignant lyrics with a laid-back twang and an emotive steel guitar, it’s his heartwarming voice gliding over the smooth tune that truly adds a level of relatable honesty and rich sentimentality to this country-pop gem.

Sinclair – “Middle Of The Night”

Growing up as the lesbian daughter of an Evangelical pastor in Madrid, New York, this bubbly pop singer and songwriter laces her honest lyrics with self-discovery and independence. Now based in the more liberal Nashville, she’s since toured with artists such as Daughtry and Kacey Musgraves. Already a Beatles fan aged 4 and playing piano and guitar, she debuted with her EP “Sweet Talk” in 2014.

With a throbbing beat and wah-wah guitars as the enticing starter, her new single soon kicks it into high gear. Taken from her EP “Montage” and blending vibrant retro-pop with a funkalicious vibe, dipping it in colorful neon sparkles and finishing with a modern production, this rich, vintage-touched groove has it all. And with her refreshing vocal glitz, this is an invigorating upbeat tune.
