In The Spotlight

Al Sunny – “Goodbye”

Based in Nimes, this French blue-eyed soul singer and songwriter moved from learning to play the guitar to composing and has since worked on numerous projects and collaborations. He honed his musical skillset thanks to his conservatory studies and subsequent live performances at, for example, New Morning in Paris. Having created his blend of AOR, classic soul and pop and inspired by Al Jarreau, America and Al Green, he released his debut album “Time To Decide” in 2017.

Singing about the complexities of communicating with others when you’re not feeling well, his new single sonically carries his tale through several emotional states. Taken from his upcoming album “Summer End”, expected on October 15th, this soulful song starts with a touch of melancholy and introspective verses and embraces us in the chorus. With a buttery-soft melody of sunlit keys, mellow rhythm and his easy-going vocals, this smooth groove reminds us we’re never truly alone.

In The Spotlight

Laura Lucas – “Woman”

Canadian-born and Australia-based, this singer and songwriter picked up a guitar aged 10 and got into songwriting a year later. Also a poet, she got enamoured by the story-telling aspect of songwriting. In 2019 she moved to Melbourne and immersed herself in the bustling local music scene. Since then she’s collaborated with artists like Lawson Hull and supported Harrison Storm and LANKS. Inspired by Phoebe Bridgers, Lana Del Rey and Taylor Swift, she released her debut “Poetry” in 2019.

With philosophical musings about the still present patriarchal culture and how this shapes the self-perception of women, her new single questions that status quo. Taken from her upcoming album “There’s A Place I Go”, expected on November 14th, the song takes elements of folk and pop and fuses them together. Starting with a calm electric guitar, that guides us through the melody, it’s joined by driving drums. And with her authentic vocals, this tune is filled with emotional depth.
