In The Spotlight

ISHAN – “Make Up Moves”

Born in France and based in Melbourne, this Australian singer and songwriter credits his musicality to be having a multi-cultural heritage, of Indian, Swiss and Spanish roots. He first picked up a guitar aged 7, but it was after spinal fusion surgery that he found a passion for songwriting. Although mostly found busking at Bourke Street Mall, he’s also played at the renowned Workers Club. Drawing comparisons to artists like Ed Sheeran and Noah Kahan, he debuted with “Go” in 2022.

Singing about people who are discovering each other and their feelings in a new relationship, his new single captures the carefree feeling of new and exciting love. A delicious blend of sonic flavours, it’s his spirited guitar strums, funky beat and infectious keys that add a level of pure joy to the sunlit melody. And with the lighthearted warmth of his vocal tone, fusing all elements together to reflect a blossoming romance, this rosy tune takes the listener past every tender moment.

Corzine – “A You Problem”

Born as Hayley Lewis and hailing from Minneapolis, this singer and songwriter started writing songs on ukulele and piano at the age of 15. Although having graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Colorado State University, she decided to pursue a career in music. She began playing farmer’s markets and Open Streets, but soon played venues like Acadia and Hook & Ladder. Inspired by Sara Bareilles, Betty Who and Ingrid Michaelson, she debuted with “And There It Is” in 2019.

Singing about the complications a relationship can bring where one person is more emotionally immersed than the other, her new single highlights the desire to resolve the issues and finding the strength to do so. She’s created a fun, multi-layered soundscape to accompany her lyrics. Starting with a soft synth chord and cheeky fingersnaps, soon the track burst to life with a chorus brimming with lively pop sparkles. And with her crystalline vocals, this is a cheery tune full of sonic quirks.
