In The Spotlight

Brooke Combe – “How Can I Tell You? (To Love Me More)”

Born near Edinburgh and based in Liverpool, this Scottish singer and songwriter discovered her love for music at 5 years young, when she got a toy drum kit. She also plays saxophone, trombone, guitar, bass and piano. Since the start of her career she’s played renowned venues such as King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut, festivals like Neighbourhood Weekender and supported Miles Kane. Inspired by Michael Jackson, Amy Winehouse and Fleetwood Mac, she released her debut “Are You With Me?” in 2021.

Filled with a raw and authentic honesty, her new single captures her desire for a connection with her father. Enveloping the emotive lyrics about a struggling daughter trying to be heard and seen, she’s created an upbeat, classic soul melody. With a soft drum, colourful piano and a striking string section filling the notes with soulful nostalgia, it’s her powerful, retro-touched vocal vigor, coasting on the vivacious tune, that make this an exhilarating groove you could not possibly love more.

Matías Roden – “On The Run”

Born in the UK and raised in Peru, this Peruvian-Canadian singer and songwriter is now based in Vancouver, where he moved to at 18. Immersing himself into the vibrant local music scene, he began to hone a synth-pop sound, dipped in global influences. He’s performed at festivals like Khatsahlano and the Summerlight Festival and played shows from North America to Europe. Inspired by Pet Shop Boys, Depeche Mode and Annie Lennox, he debuted with “Snow Angel” in 2023.

Written after a short-lived relationship, his new single captures the fear of commitment and the natural instinct to flee when things get real. Enriching a retro-touched pop-rock vibe with a drop of synth-pop and a dash of country, he’s created a melancholic, bittersweet melody. With a driving percussion, joyful guitar and fresh keys feeling both upbeat and laid-back, it’s his lighthearted vocals telling the compelling story about fleeting love, that make this wistful tune sound irresistible.
