It’s Butter – “Still In Love”

Formed in 2016 when L.A. native singer, songwriter and guitarist Britta Raci met Columbian drummer Diego Patiño while studying at the Musician’s Institute, this band creates a unique blend of pop, rock and R&B, with drops of other styles thrown in. In 2019 the trio was completed with bassist Johnnie Gilmore. Inspired by Rush, Primus and The Police, they debuted on their EP “Forget About It” in 2016.

Navigating emotive, post-breakup feelings, their new single tells the story of having your heart broken and not yet feeling ready to move on. The fundamentally rock melody is laced with funkalicious grooves, a touch of soul and a drop of jazz. With multi-layered instrumentation from the wild keys, rousing beat and brisk guitars, it’s the radiant vocals that’ll make you fall in love with this jam.

Boo Seeka – “Stories”

Although this project started out as a duo in 2015, it is now a solo endeavor of Australian singer/songwriter Ben Gumbleton. In that first year they were nominated for Unearthed Artist Of The Year at the J Awards. Combining smooth synths and rolling beats, he’s created a layered electro-pop sound. Inspired by Massive Attack and Mayer Hawthorne, he debuted with “Kingdom Leader” in 2015.

Encapsulating the Australian summer in a fresh electro bop, his new single is a welcome dose of sunshine for those of us enthralled in wintery conditions. Starting with vitalizing guitar strums, soon the track ascends with an infectious beat. Basked in a glistening radiance, it’s his emotive, laid-back vocals teasing the bouncy rhythm, that guides the listener through the sunlit notes of this groove.
