In The Spotlight

Joesef – “Joe”

Hailing from Glasgow, this Scottish singer and songwriter initially wanted to become a bartender, until a friend convinced him to consider a music career after a drunken karaoke night. Having sold out the famous King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut, without having released any music, he made his mark on the music scene. Since he’s toured with Arlo Parks and Rina Sawayama and debuted with “Limbo” in 2019.

With a candid authenticity telling the story about a past, toxic relationship, his new single highlights the effect this had on his mental health. Taken from his upcoming album “Permanent Damage”, expected on January 13, 2023, he wraps the personal lyrics in a comforting warm, soul-pop blanket. With a West-Coast vibe from the rhythm, guitars and his buttery vocals, this rich tune is a melancholic gem.

In The Spotlight

Estella Dawn – “Winners”

Born and raised in New Zealand and now based in the US, this singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist has been singing most of her life. She started classical piano lessons aged 9, followed by guitar at 13. Aged 15 she reached the semi-finals of New Zealand’s Got Talent. Inspired by artists such as Sam Cooke and Etta James, as well as Halsey and Dermot Kennedy, she debuted with “Dancing Girls” in 2017.

Finding a balance between becoming selfish in order to achieve success and being aware of your surroundings and helping others, her new single combines the lyrical challenges with a rich, invigorating melody. Starting slow with a mellow rhythm and mild bass, the track ascends with a blues-dipped attitude and her powerhouse vocal grit, making this impassioned groove sound like a winner.
