In The Spotlight

The Sextones – “Better Late Than Never”

Hailing from Reno, Nevada, this soulful quartet has been friends since childhood. Consisting of Mark Sexton, Alexander Korostinsky, Daniel Weiss and Christopher Sexton, they formed the band in 2007 as the Mark Sexton Band. They changed their name in 2015 and lit up many festival stages. Inspired by The Delfonics, Curtis Mayfield and The Moments, they debuted with “Moonlight Vision” in 2017.

Buttery smooth, shining in sophistication and dipped in era-defining 60s soul, their new single pays homage to the soul heroes of yesteryear. Taken from their upcoming album “Love Can’t Be Borrowed”, expected on September 29th, they begin with a sonic wake-up, before sliding into a honey-sweet ballad. With a retro rhythm, silky violins and velveteen vocals, this vintage tune is right on time.

Sarah Klang – “Mercedes”

Born in Gothenburg, this Swedish singer and songwriter started performing in an electro band in high school. She attended the Uddevalla music school, but decided to stop performing shortly after graduating. Since restarting her career, she went on to win Alternative Pop Of The Year at the Grammis in 2019. Inspired by artists like Nirvana, Kurt Vile and Phoebe Bridgers, she debuted with “Sleep” in 2016.

Showing her most vulnerable side with deeply personal lyrics, her new single is a letter she wrote to her daughter, while she was pregnant with her, promising eternal love. Accompanied by a clip made up of home videos around the pregnancy, she tells her story over an 80s-infused synth-pop bop. With a pulsating beat, neon synths and her imposing, emotive vocals, this tune is filled with love.
