In The Spotlight

HILLARI – “How Does It Feel”

Born in Oslo with Filipino roots, this Norwegian-Filipino singer and songwriter spent some of her early childhood living in The Philippines. Returning to Oslo aged 8, she became a church vocalist. She’s also a self-taught pianist and guitarist. Although she studied Business at school, she chose music full-time aged 18. She’s played festivals like Roskilde and ESNS and venues like The Jazz Cafe in London. Inspired by Alicia Keys, Sade and Doechii, she debuted with “Desperate Soul” in 2023.

Written as a reminder that you are special, loved and so valuable even when it doesn’t feel like it, her new single is about embracing your authentic self. Wrapping the encouraging lyrics in a warm, comforting blend of smooth soul and silky R&B, this dreamy song is organically layered. With a summery rhythm, satiny strings and jazz-infused horns creating a welcoming melodic hug, it’s her velvety, honey-sweet vocals that elevates this soul-stirring groove to sound truly inspirational.

Caddy Callaghan – “Sweet Fool”

Born in Melbourne, this Australian singer and songwriter’s upbringing was rooted in music. She started piano lessons aged 4 and by 14 she was writing her own songs and playing gigs. Although she spent 30 years writing songs, she worked as a primary school teacher and later in Clinical Pastoral Care. Since stepping into the limelight she’s played The Merri Creek Tavern and Bar 303. Inspired by Billy Joel, Carly Simon and Bonnie Raitt, she released her debut “Light Years Away” in 2025.

Encouraging us to pursue what we desire most in life whether that is a dream you kept postponing or telling that special person you love them, her new single is inspired by her own decision to take the leap and play music full-time. Dipped in a summery, 70s West-Coast sound, this song is authentically nostalgic. With an acoustic grand piano, mellow drums and only a touch of modern synths, it’s a smooth soulful pop melody. And with her heartfelt vocals, this groove is a true gem.
