In The Spotlight

Joan & The Giants – “Home Song”

Formed in 2019 by partners and longtime collaborators Grace Newton-Wordsworth and Aaron Birch, this Australian quartet created an organic and genuine folk-pop sound. Based in Perth and joined by members Riley Sutton and Liam Olsen, they’ve supported Odette on her 2019 tour and played stages such as the Nannup Music Festival in 2021. They released their debut single “Hold Me” in 2019.

Written as a love letter to Aaron during a period of loss, their new single captures the honesty of their emotions into the lyrics. Enveloping the words is sonic elegance and warmth from a smooth acoustic guitar, before injecting some oomph with a bouncy rhythm and ornate synths. And with her sweet, folky voice, this wave of deep-rooted love has a warm familiarity that sounds like coming home.

In The Spotlight

Charlie Winston – “Exile”

Born in Cornwall and raised in Suffolk, this British singer and songwriter started his career playing bass guitar for his brother Tom Baxter, as well as composing music for and performing in London-based contemporary theatre productions. In 2007 he supported Peter Gabriel on his European tour. Mostly finding his popularity in France, he’s released 6 albums, debuting with “Mischifus” in 2007.

Addressing the internal struggle of being an English artist who is popular in France, but unknown in his own country, his new single has an authentic lyrical vulnerability. Taken from his upcoming album “As I Am”, expected on August 26th, he blends a retro pop rhythm, a touch of folk and imposing orchestral violins with his stirring and emotive vocals and creates a truly magnificent sonic experience.
