Gavin Turek – “Back On The Market”
From her album “Diva Of The People” (2024):Sidney Bird – “Mean Girl”
Born and raised in Arizona, this singer and songwriter grew up singing and participating in musical theatre. She began writing her own songs in high school, mainly as a therapeutic tool. Dealing with depression after finishing college led to her starting to share her music on streaming services. She’s collaborated with Noah Kahan and supported Hans Williams and Natasha Bedingfield. Inspired by Norah Jones, Joni Mitchell and Katy Perry, she released her debut single “Kisses” in 2020.
Lyrically tackling the adult bullies that scour the internet for things to have an opinion about and voice those without caring who it hurts, her new single is a powerful statement against the toxicity of the modern age. Taken from her album “Desert Person” and accompanying her heartfelt lyrics, she draws the listener into the song with a piano and her mighty vocals. With a potent syncopated rhythm, cheeky banjo and country guitars, this lush tune calls for much needed social change.

Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes – “Bad Luck”
From their album “To Be True” (1975):Missy Higgins – “Craters”
From her album “The Second Act” (2024):Video Age – “Record Shop”
Hailing from New Orleans, this duo consists of best friends Ross Farbe and Ray Micarelli, who both grew up listening to 60s artists like The Rolling Stones and The Kinks. They were writing their songs on guitar, until they got tired of guitar pop and started experimenting. Finding their niche with a nostalgic 80s sound from a synth and drum machine, they created their own sound. Inspired by David Bowie, Paul McCartney and Janet Jackson, they released their debut “Living Alone” in 2016.
Not just melodically but also lyrically taking a trip down nostalgia lane, their new single is a tribute to the joy felt working in a record shop, surrounded by the infatuating beauty that music radiates. Returning to their 60s guitar inspired roots, it’s the electric guitars, retro drums and playful keys that bring the swinging decade back to life. And with an ear-tingling jangly guitar solo and their wholesome harmonies blending into a soft psychedelic soundscape, this jam is a groovy tune.
