Brooke Stilla – “Leave You (To Get It)”

Born in Sydney and now based in Toronto, Canada, this Australian singer and songwriter started dancing aged 2 and first sang on stage aged 4. She began formal singing lessons at the age of 6. Later, she and her sister Tayla-Grace appeared on The X-Factor Australia as part of the girl group BEATZ and reached fifth place in 2016. As a solo artists she’s played festivals like Canadian Music Week. Inspired by Nelly Furtado, Ariana Grande and Justin Timberlake, she debuted with “Thirsty” in 2020.

Singing about the complicated dynamics when a partner only seems to be interested in you when you’re not available, her new single tells a heartwrenching story about making the most of a difficult situation. Starting the song with some enticing piano chords and a fingersnap rhythm, it’s her sultry, emotional vocals that find their way to your soul. Blossoming into an lively R&B-laced melody, with a bouncy beat, warm bass line and fresh tambourine, this jam is an infectious groove.

Rags And Riches – “Wisdom”

Hailing from Lexington, this pop-rock duo of brothers Tanner and Peyton Whitt grew up with music-loving parents, who exposed them to different kinds of music. In their early teens, they bought them a drum and electric guitar and they started playing in church. Since forming in 2017 they’ve won several music awards and shared the stage with Fitz & The Tantrums and Smash Mouth. Inspired by Queen, Imagine Dragons and Post Malone, they released their debut “Speed Of Sound” in 2019.

Encouraging the listener to deal with obstacles in their life without falling down, their new single instills the faith that you can achieve anything if you put your mind to it. Taken from their same-titled EP, the song is a timeless amalgam of various influences. Starting with an ascending synth and leading to an almost tribal drum, the verse vocals are more storytelling in nature. Coming to life in the catchy melodic chorus, this bouncy track is brimming with an upbeat sound of hope.
