In The Spotlight

Rebecca Sichon – “Picking Petals”

Growing up in Mission, this Canadian singer, songwriter and musician was surrounded by classical and jazz music. She started singing aged 5, began taking piano lessons at the Royal Conservatory of Music at 7 and added ukulele and guitar at 12. She’s performed over 200 SoFar shows and toured Canada. Inspired by H.E.R., Alicia Keys and Amy Winehouse, she released her debut “Let Me Go” in 2016.

Sonically playing the does-he-love-me, does-he-love-me-not game, questioning a new lovers feelings petal by petal, her new single is a delightful fusion of R&B, soul and jazz. Intricately constructed with a mellow rhythm, rich bass and celestial harmonies, this alluring melody is full of warmth and charm. And with her sumptuous vocals stroking every note, this jam is a stunning smooth groove.

Chris Bates – “Takeaway Cup”

Hailing from Auckland, this rising New Zealand singer and songwriter was raised on classical violin, but switched to pop music aged 13. Listening to his dad’s pop CD’s, he discovered a love for songwriting. He started performing at various open mic nights and busking regularly. Drawing inspiration from artists like Phil Collins, Bruno Mars and John Mayer, he released his debut “Say The Word” in 2018.

Singing about a future love and the infinite possibilities of what kind of person that might be, his new single is a lyrical daydream, wrapped in an airy pop melody. From the bold guitar plucks to the infectious rhythm, this track explores every jubilant side of pop music. And with some sweetened synths and his contemporary vocal skills, this is an euphoric tune, filled with endless warmth and hope.
