In The Spotlight

Alessi Rose – “Pretty World”

Born in Derby and based in London, this British singer and songwriter loved performing and writing poetry from a young age. Although she initially pursued an athletic career following in her triathlete dad’s footsteps, her first love was music. She began uploading reels of her singing to Instagram. During Covid she taught herself production and started uploading demos to BBC Introducing. Inspired by Gracie Abrams, Chappell Roan and Lorde, she released her debut “Say Ur Mine” in 2023.

Dedicating the song to her fans and emphasizing that dreams definitely can come true, her new single tries to capture her journey from dreamer to sold-out shows. Taken from her upcoming EP “For Your Validation”, expected on January 17th, she’s created a very playful melody from the fun-loving keys to the sprightly beat. And with a slight operatic tone to her Kate Bush-reminiscent, mesmerizing vocals, this hypnotic pop tune weaves an emotional, spellbinding sonic tapestry.

Beckah Amani – “Call Home”

Born in Tanzania to Burundian parents, this globe-trotting singer and songwriter moved to Australia at 7 years old and had a very musical upbringing. Being exposed to the multi-cultural music scene from East-African rhythms to the Australian pop and rock sound shaped her eclectic sound. She’s got nominated for Songwriter Of The Year at the APRA Music Awards and shared a stage with Coldplay. Inspired by Nina Simone, Adele and Ed Sheeran, she debuted with “Standards” in 2020.

Trying to capture the depression felt right after a breakup, her new single also reminds us that at the end of the darkness a bright new future looms. Taken from her recently released album “This Is How I Remember It”, it’s the melodic warmth radiating from the sumptuous notes that makes this a mesmerizing tune. With a gentle guitar and a lively beat setting the scene, it’s her striking vocals taking us from vulnerable to powerhouse that makes this gem sound unforgettable.
