In The Spotlight

Devon Gilfillian – “All I Really Wanna Do”

Born in Morton and now Nashville-based, this American soul singer and songwriter began playing guitar aged 14 and led bands while in college studying psychology. As the son of a wedding singer, he grew up surrounded by music and listened to greats like Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles and The Temptations. He opened for Keith Urban, Mavis Staples and The Fray and debuted with his self-titled EP in 2016.

Lyrically championing living in the moment and taking chances on love and life, his new single is an ingenious, genre-spanning blend. Taken from his upcoming album “Love You Anyway”, expected on April 7th, it’s the catchy beat and sensuous vibe, dipped in classic soul hues, that gives it an ear-pleasing quality. And with his swooning, soulful vocals, all you wanna do is listen to this groove.

Wasia Project – “Petals On The Moon”

Hailing from London and formed in 2018, this British-Chinese duo of siblings Olivia Hardy and Will Gao fuses their cultures as well as their music and their name, which mixes White and Asia. Both classically trained, Olivia took violin and singing lessons, while Gao started learning piano aged 11. Inspired by artists like Finneas and Billie Eilish, they debuted with “Why Don’t U Love Me” in 2019.

Lyrically navigating the struggle that is life and the drive to always want more, their new single wanders across genres, interlacing bedroom pop, a touch of jazz and a celestial breeze. Instantly gripping from the driving beat and playful keys, it’s the silky tonality of her resplendent vocal artistry and the angelic harmonies that give this vibrant tune an ear-stroking, out-of-this-world quality.
