In The Spotlight

Alaina Pamela – “Moonlight”

Hailing from Quebec, this Canadian singer-songwriter grew up in the foster care system. Music was her way to escape her reality. She began singing at a young age in church choirs and school ensembles. Learning through school music programs initially, she did get professional voice training later. Now based in Los Angeles, she performed at Breaking Sound LA and The Hotel Cafe. Inspired by Celine DionChristina Aguilera and Stromae, she released her debut “Can’t Be Your Friend” in 2023.

With liberating lyrics about choosing personal peace over ongoing drama and toxic relationships, her new single is a celebration of leaving the chaos behind and moving forward to a brighter future. Blending electro-pop with some cinematic flair, this song adds a bit of glitter to the polished production. Opening with sweet strings, it’s the luscious synths, mid-tempo rhythm and her dynamic vocal tone ranging from ethereal to confident that fill this empowering groove with resilience.

In The Spotlight

Stephen Day – “You Wouldn’t Know”

Born into a musical household, this Nashville-based singer-songwriter spent his childhood surrounded by choir singers and instruments in his dad’s church. Yet it wasn’t until he was 12 that he picked up a guitar himself and taught himself to play. He moved to Nashville at 18 to study at Belmont University. He’s played festivals like Shaky Knees and venues like The Troubadour. Inspired by Stevie Wonder and Frank Sinatra, he debuted with “Undergrad Romance And The Moses In Me” in 2018.

Exploring the emotional clash between pride and heartbreak following a breakup, his new single is about pretending you’re over your ex, while secretly still being devastated. Lyrically narrating about the strife between head and heart, this song is a fusion of 80s synth-pop and neon soul. Recorded with a live band, it’s the nostalgic synths, punchy rhythm and crisp guitars that fill the melody with retro charm. And with his vintage-dipped vocals, this tune is a bittersweet anthem.
