In The Spotlight

The Flints – “Finally Forever”

Raised in Manchester and now London-based, British twin brothers George and Henry Flint grew up making music together. They’ve been playing shows in various bands, while they attended university. After graduation they moved to London where they started writing and producing for other artists. In 2022 they decided to release their own material and in 2023 played the Boardmasters festival. Inspired by The Kinks, Jeff Lynne and Daft Punk, they debuted with “Serengeti” in 2022.

Capturing the overwhelming beauty that true love can bring, their new single is a love letter to that someone who takes your breath away and elevates your life to seventh heaven. With a delectable smooth disco vibe lighting up the glitterball, it’s the bouncy beat, shimmering synths and retro-touched guitars that manages to take you back to the late 70s/early 80s, while still injecting a touch of the present too. And with their airy, vintage-infused vocals, this is a luscious disco-pop groove.

Jessica Doolan – “Love Always Knocks Me Out”

Hailing from Dublin, this emerging Irish singer and songwriter was born into a very musical family. Her brother plays piano, her mother is a singer and her dad a multi-instrumentalist. She wrote her first song in Irish aged 10, called “Mise Sa Todhchai” and grew up listening to the soul of Nina Simone, Etta James and Amy Winehouse. In 2022 she won International Rookie Award at the Swedish DennizPop Awards. Inspired by Adele and Alicia Keys, she debuted with “Stay Or Surrender” in 2023.

Telling a tale about being perpetually heartbroken, because she keeps falling for the wrong guys, her new single captures how a guy starts off as Prince Charming, before reality kicks in. Lyrically having a high relatability factor, she envelops her words in an imposing, vintage R&B/soul shroud. Starting with a crisp piano and a gentle bass, the song evolves with a commanding rhythm and striking strings. And with her mighty, attitude-filled vocals, this is an anthemic, soul-stirring jam.
