In The Spotlight

Parrotfish – “4K Friends”

Formed in 2017 in Florida by high school friends Matty Rodrigo, Conor Lynch and Joe Cadecha, the trio decided to attend Belmont University in Nashville together in order to hone their sound and immerse in the local music scene. At Belmont they met drummer Trace Chiappe, who completed the line-up. They’ve played various festivals like Bonnaroo and the Gasparilla Music Festival. Inspired by funk, reggae and bands such as Red Hot Chili Peppers, they debuted with “All The Talk” in 2017.

Emphasizing the loss of true human connection in the predominantly digital world, their new single shines a light on the reality of modern life. With a delicious and vibrant brew of pop, rock and dance, they’ve packed the song with summery vibes. Instantly gripping thanks to the funky bass plucks and driving beat, the melody coasts on a lavish ebb and flow of vivacity and smoothness. Filled with rich, virulent hooks and rousing vocals, this sizzling groove is a thrilling musical experience.

Victoria Staff – “I Still Think You Might”

Hailing from Toronto, this Canadian singer and songwriter dealt with anxiety and depression her whole life. During her childhood music became her coping mechanism and a way to communicate with other people. She plays piano, guitar, banjo and ukulele. Although she got her degree in Behavioural Neuroscience from UBC, her passion for music led to her career as a musician. Inspired by Holly Humberstone, Stevie Nicks and Taylor Swift, she debuted with “Records & Honesty” in 2023.

Singing about a love that won’t let go, even after a breakup, and having to deal with those unresolved issues and emotions, her new single is a beautiful example of her storytelling skills. The song starts with a fragile acoustic guitar and is slowly joined by a resonant percussion. Adding warm electric guitars to the wistful chorus gives the melody a fuller sonic body. And with an emotive sensitivity in her rich vocals, this melancholic indie-pop tune takes us on a heartrending journey.
