In The Spotlight

Luna Elle – “Halfway Broken”

Hailing from Mississauga and now based in Toronto, this Canadian singer and songwriter grew up listening to the 90s R&B greats that her older sister used to play. During the pandemic as a teenager, she began recording covers like “Riot” by Summer Walker, which she posted on Instagram and landed her a record deal. Her debut single got noticed by Shaquille O’Neal who posted it on his Instagram. Inspired by the likes of BeyoncĂ©, Toni Braxton and Sade, she debuted with “True Love” in 2021.

Singing about female empowerment within relationships by telling a lover that she won’t stand for anything other than being treated right, her new single is a silky-smooth R&B stunner. Drawing inspiration from R&B legend Maxwell, she combines sleek 90s R&B with some soft jazz tones. With a gentle rhythm, mild keys and soft bass creating a mesmerizing soundscape, it’s her velvety vocals that enchant your ears and take you on a polished sonic journey to peaceful tranquillity.

Jessica Doolan – “Keep Looking”

Based in Dublin, this Irish singer and songwriter grew up in a very musical family and started singing when she was 3. She wrote her first song in Irish aged 10, called “Mise Sa Tochchai”, meaning Dear Future Self. In 2022 she won the International Rookie Award at the DennizPop Awards in Sweden. She’s also performed at The Folly Festival and Sea Sessions Surf & Music Festival. Inspired by Nina Simone, Etta James and Amy Winehouse, she released her debut “Stay Or Surrender” in 2023.

Singing about dates that do not live up to expectations and toxic relationships, her single is all about taking your power back from those who’ve wronged you. An ingenious musical blend of her soul-pop sound with a bit of a rock bite, the song starts with mild keys, crisp guitar plucks and cheeky violins. However, soon it explodes with sonic attitude and empowerment, while still holding true to her soulfulness. And with her dynamic vocals, this is imposing soul-pop with a twist.
