In The Spotlight

Marti West – “Out Of My Head”

Born under the Tuscan sun and based in London, this Anglo-Italian singer and songwriter studied music and English at university, before signing up for a songwriting diploma at BIMM. He went on to play iconic venues such as The Troubadour in London and The Fleece in Bristol. Drawing inspiration from The War On Drugs, Bon Iver and Dustin Tebbutt, he debuted with his EP “Istanbul” in 2016.

Singing about the touch of madness which kicks in when your feelings for a person are not requited, his new single wraps the poignant lyrics in a Fleetwood Mac-inspired tune. Taken from his album “Talking To Strangers”, it’s the retro bounce of the rhythm, fresh guitars and sparkling keys that forge a dreamy folk-pop sound. And with the honesty of his airy vocals, this groove is a true earworm.

Alexandra Miller – “Dance With Me”

Born to a French-Spanish mother and an Irish father, this French singer/songwriter was first introduced to music by her opera-loving grandfather. She joined the Nice opera aged 9 and got classical training for 10 years. In 2013 she auditioned for The Voice Of Ireland and was eliminated in the Battles. Inspired by Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston and Alicia Keys, she debuted with “Home Tonight” in 2017.

Conjuring up a dreamlike soundscape, filled with buttery-smooth R&B vibes, her new single feels like a warm embrace. Taken from her upcoming EP “Sweetest Morning”, expected later this year, it’s the suave percussion and silky synths that create a gentle, retro-touched, melodic sway. And with her enchanting vocals dipping the tune in lush sonic honey, this ear-stroking gem touches your soul.
