Lydia Ford – “Faking It”

Originally from Mayo, this Irish singer and songwriter grew up saturated in music, ranging from Rachmaninoff to Bruce Springsteen. She started playing the guitar at the age of 9 and soon began writing her own songs. Since she’s lived in New York City and Berlin and collaborated with German producers Steam Phunk. Inspired by Avril Lavigne and KT Tunstall, she debuted with “Bittersweet” in 2018.

Creating an album encapsulating the homesickness that follows when moving abroad for work of study, this track highlights the pressure of having to fake happiness. Taken from her album “Faking It”, released today, she starts off with a driving beat and her intoxicating voice. Ascending to a vivacious second part, with fiery drums and zesty guitars, this title-track is an exhilarating sonic journey.

Garrett Kato – “Dumb”

Born in Canada and now based in Australia, this singer, songwriter and producer got his start busking in the streets of Byron Bay. Since he’s worked with iconic Aussie artists such as Tones And I, Julia Stone and Riley Pearce. He’s also performed sold-out shows alongside Damien Rice and Ziggy Alberts. Inspired by the music of The Beatles and Bob Dylan, he debuted with “The Wilderness” in 2011.

Showing his vulnerable side by singing about admitting to your mistakes and holding your hands up to them, his new single creates a sweet, easygoing background for his honest words. Taken from his EP “Nighthawks”, it’s the sunlit guitars, playful rhythm and his authentic vocals that bring this track together in an organic sound. And with a soothing soundwave, this mesmerizing jam is delectable.
