In The Spotlight

Raissa – “I Will Wait”

Based in Los Angeles, this singer and songwriter spent her childhood growing up in London, Beijing, Sydney and Kuala Lumpur. Born to French and Spanish parents, she was exposed to a wide range of cultural and musical influences. Initially signed to Mark Ronson’s label, Zelig Records, she’s now an independent artist. Inspired by Lady Gaga and Prince, she debuted with “Bullying Boys” in 2020.

Written at a Melbourne airport gate while she was feeling particularly blue, her new single tells her to wait it out until brighter times arrive. Injecting some danceable fun into a melody, the track starts with a retro-touched guitar and an bouncy beat, before releasing its sonic sparkles in the buoyant chorus. And with her crisp and impassioned vocals, this bubbly groove is definitely worth waiting for.

In The Spotlight

Alex Angelo – “Stuck”

Born in Florida and raised in Ohio, this singer songwriter, producer and DJ started dancing for the NBA basketball team Cleveland Cavaliers aged 7. At 10 he was DJing on his Dad’s iPad. Since he’s toured with artists like Carly Rae Jepsen, Austin Mahone and Pitbull and writes and produces songs for others. Inspired by Pharrell Williams and Childish Gambino, he debuted with his single “I Like U Too” in 2013.

Creating an enchanting, satiny soundscape, his new single takes a lyrical look back on a beautiful relationship which sadly has come to its conclusion. With just a mellow piano accompanying his emotion-laden vocals, this song is both heartwarming and heartfelt. Later joined by a soft beat and crisp guitar strums, it’s the gentle dulcet tones of this nostalgic smooth groove that will get stuck in your heart.
