Jem Cassar-Daley – “Slow Down”

Born into a musical family, this Australian singer and songwriter grew up backstage at her dad’s gigs. Her dad being country singer Troy Cassar-Daley, she was raised on country music, but as a teen pop music took over. She’s won a Queensland Music Award and a National Indigenous Music Award. Inspired by Gwen Stefani, Joni Mitchell and Missy Higgins, she released her debut “Letting Go” in 2021.

Navigating the treacherous waters of the real emotional aftermath of a breakup, her new single reminds us to take a step back and breathe, despite those chaotic waves. Starting with sunlit guitars and soon joined by a lively beat, the catchy melody has a laid-back, carefree feel. And with her easy-going and bewitching vocals telling her tale, this tune blends emotive lyrics with an energetic groove.

Stella Talpo – “BONES”

Born in Italy, raised in Singapore and now London-based, this multi-cultural vocalist and songwriter knew she wanted to be a singer as young as 3. At the age of 13 she wrote her first song with a guitar. Since then she’s played renowned festivals like Spotlight and Glastonbury. Inspired by Billie Holiday, Sam Cooke and Billie Eilish, she debuted her eclectic R&B/Soul blend on her EP “Space” in 2016.

Singing about women’s empowerment by channeling the folklore tale of Clarissa Pinkola Estés’ ‘La Loba’ (The Wolf)’ in which a woman’s bones are sung back to life, her new single blends mythology with an R&B vibe. Taken from her upcoming album “MEDUSA”, expected on October 13th, it’s the soulful rhythm, striking synths and her enchanting vocals that make this an extraordinary tune.
