In The Spotlight

Valentina Ploy – “Rebecca”

Raised in Italy and based in Bangkok, this Thai-Italian singer and song-writer began her musical journey at a young age learning to play the violin and starting to write her own songs. Her journey took her to be a contestant on The X-Factor Italy in 2016 and The Voice Thailand in 2017. Since her career took off, she played festivals like AXEAN and opened for Secondhand Serenade and Coldplay. Inspired by Linkin Park, Tracy Chapman and Arctic Monkeys, she debuted with “See You In Life” in 2019.

Telling an all too familiar tale of jealousy in relationships, her new single turns fears and insecurity into a bright pop song. Taken from her upcoming EP “Warm (Part II)”, expected on December 4th, she infuses the lavish melody with sparkling, neon-dipped synths, combining 80s nostalgia with contemporary vibes. With a reverberant bouncy beat, vivid bass line and her fun-loving, exuberant vocals, this colorful, highly danceable groove is brimming with courage and an infectious vibrancy.

Marfa – “American Lonely”

Forged in Colorado, this Americana duo, comprising of Bryce Menchaca and Kellen Wall, met in 2021 as music students at CU Denver, where they ended up in a songwriting circle together. Despite a difference in musical tastes, they started writing songs together, but began posting covers on TikTok. Since then they’ve played venues like the Skylark Lounge and the Aurora Borealis Festival. Inspired by 70s country-pop artists like Glen Campbell and America, they debuted with “66” in 2024.

Written in the aftermath of the L.A. wildfires, their new single tries to capture the unimaginable heartbreak and loneliness that impacted so many people. Wrapped in a serene nostalgia from the 70s-touched melody, it’s the laid-back warmth from the guitars and the understated rhythm that gets this song going. Later filling the instrumentation with more body, it’s their velveteen harmonies and exquisite electric guitar solo that make this wistful, West-Coast-dipped groove sound timeless.
