In The Spotlight

Cristina Cherry – “Can You Be Mine?”

Born as Ana Cristina Reis Vieira in Faro, this Portuguese singer and songwriter wanted to become a singer from the age of 5. She tread the boards for the first time in a school talent show aged 10 and further honed her skills in high school. After a short stint in America, she was a contestant on the last season of Idols Portugal in 2022 and became a full-time performer. Inspired by artists like B.B. King, Amy Winehouse and Lana Del Rey, she released her debut “Girl Of Your Dream” in 2023.

Describing a deep and true love between two people from different worlds and the challenges that that romance can bring, her new single just wants to celebrates the beauty such a deep affection produces. Melodically she takes the listeners back to yesteryear, fusing 60s soul and 70s pop with a touch of blues and a layer of 00s neo-soul. Driven by a lively beat, intoxicating guitars and mellow keys, it’s the attitude in her empowered vocals that really make this track sound irresistible.

Golden Feather – “Never Give Up On You”

Hailing from Hamilton, this Canadian five-piece band got their start when friends Steven Kiely and Bradley Germain decided to write music together in 2019. Further consisting of Ronson, Gareth Inkster and Murray Heaton, they share a love of taking the listeners on a journey, creating an energy between crowd and stage on festivals like Hillside and venues such as Bridgeworks. Inspired by The Allman Brothers and The Grateful Dead, they debuted with their EP “Light On Water” in 2020.

Initially coming across as a straightforward love song, their new single also shines a light on feeling whether you’re actually worthy of love at all. Taken from their upcoming, self-titled debut album, expected on September 20th, the song finds a balance between funk and yacht-rock. With a relentless funkalicious vibe from the bouncy rhythm, wild guitars and red-hot brass, this highly infectious groove effortlessly marries vintage funk with a touch of contemporary sophistication.
