In The Spotlight

Kiki Holli – “New High”

Hailing from Pittburgh and now Los Angeles-based, this singer, songwriter and stage actress was drawn to music and theatre from a young age. As well as being a trained vocalist, she plays guitar, saxophone and viola. She’s appeared in several plays, including the Dusty Springfield musical “Forever Dusty”. Inspired by Prince, The Cure and Stevie Nicks, she debuted with “More Than This” in 2021.

Written from a place of happiness and a return to love after hardship, her new single captures the sun and takes a sonic drive down the Malibu coast. Starting with her hypnotic, sunlit vocals and mellow drums, she takes the listener by the ear on her road trip towards an ascending pop-rock soundscape. With glistening guitars surfing the anthemic melody, this tune is a sun-kissed, timeless gem.

In The Spotlight

The Burma – “Sleepers”

Based in Cork, this Irish indie-rock trio named themselves after The Burma Steps in Cobh, Co. Cork. Consisting of Tony O’Donovan (vocals), Peter Piggott (guitar) and Cian Doherty (drums), they forged their own sound blending early 2000’s American Indie and 90s British guitar rock. Influenced by the likes of The Killers, Tame Impala and The Strokes, they debuted with “Phoney Personality” in 2019.

Exploring the harsh realities of life, their new single offers a remedy in the shape of cheery lyrics and an invigorating melody. Being gripped from the very first, 90s-touched, electric guitar strum, the tune evolves with full-bodied synths and a driving beat. With a slight nod to 80s hair rock bands from the exhilarating howling guitar solo, this track is a retro-infused piece of fiery indie-rock heaven.
