In The Spotlight

Alex Porat – “Sensitive”

Hailing from Toronto, this rising Canadian singer and songwriter spent her childhood singing, dancing and performing. She made her first steps towards a career in 2010, when she started posting covers on YouTube. Her version of Shawn Mendes’ “In My Blood” went viral after he commented on it. Inspired by artists like Christina Aguilera and Whitney Houston, she debuted with “Insecure” in 2019.

Tackling the relatable topic of emotional insecurities and the search for stability in life, her new single combines her honest words with a tongue-in-cheek pop melody. Kicking the tune off with a driving drumbeat, later joined by a playful guitar and her seductive, honey-sweet vocals, creates a catchy and hypnotic contemporary jam. Though lyrically dramatic, this gem has a fresh, lighthearted feel.

Jelisa – “Perspective”

Born in Amsterdam as Jelisa Jamy van Schijndel, this gifted Dutch singer and songwriter first made her mark as an actrice and dancer. These days she combines her musical career with modelling work.

With mesmeric synths, seductive bass and a velvety rhythm creating a retro atmosphere, it’s her sultry, honey-sweet vocals that gently stroke your ears. Satiny smooth, deliciously soulful, with a touch of soft jazz, this lavish gem sounds timeless.
