Noa Lauryn – “Please Don’t Make Me Choose”

Hailing from Amsterdam, this Dutch singer and songwriter was born into a family of musicians. She studied philosophy, but after graduation decided to follow a career in music. Since then she’s performed at various Dutch festivals, such as Grachtenfestival and venues like Red Light Jazz, got picked up by national radio stations and released a single with saxophone legend Candy Dulfer. Inspired by artists like Jazmin Sullivan, Anderson .Paak and Mahalia, she debuted with “Care” in 2020.

Singing about the precarious balance women still struggle with striking between family and career, her new single champions female empowerment in a short-sighted society. Forging her own Neo-Soul blend of R&B and hip-hop, she created an enchantingly hypnotic melody. Merging acoustic and electronic elements with a 90s-touched hip-hop beat and jazzy keys, it’s her mesmerizing R&B vocals that give this beguiling smooth groove some Lauryn Hill-laced sonic flavours.

Newbridge – “Howler”

Based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, this Canadian rock band has created a vibrant blend of Americana and 70s rock. Comprised of Keith Maddison on lead vocals and guitar, Warren Robert on guitar, Glen Nicholson on drums and Jeff Mosher on bass, they travelled to Nashville to hone their roots-rock sound and record their album in the renowned Creative Workshop Studios. Inspired by legendary artists like The Band, Tom Petty and John Hiatt, they released their debut “San Somewhere” in 2024.

Following the metaphor of a lone wolf tearing through emotional landscapes, their new single tackles the sensitive subject of reckless behaviour in relationships. Taken from their upcoming debut album “Past Lives”, expected later in the year, they infuse the song with a 70s-laced rock vivacity. With invigorating drums, howling electric guitars and retro organ chords, they celebrate the classic rock sound of the era. And with captivating vocals, this groove is filled with sonic gusto.
