Yasmine Gill – “Find Another You”
Based in London, UK, this multi-cultural singer and songwriter spent her childhood in Tunesia, listening to her father’s jazz and blues collection. She learned to play the piano aged 6 and singing by the age of 12. Exchanging Tunesia for Canada, she moved in order to attend McGill University. In 2020 she moved to London and since played the Half Moon Putney and SoFar Sounds. Inspired by Norah Jones, Diana Krall and Lianne La Havas, she released her debut “Forrest Gump” in 2019.
Capturing the emotional aftermath of the end of a relationship and the fear of never being able to find love like that again, her new single is filled with melancholy as well as comfort. Encapsulating her words in a pillowy-soft jazz melody, it’s the mellow piano, velvety drums and smooth brass that creates a soothing atmosphere which is not out of place in a smoky jazz club. And with her mesmerizing, honey-sweet vocals warmly hugging the notes, this alluring tune is pure ear candy.

Peter Wolf – “When Women Are Lonely”
From his album “Up To No Good!” (1990):Sixpence None The Richer – “Rosemary Hill”
From their EP “Rosemary Hill” (2024):White Denim – “Second Dimension”
Formed around frontman and guitarist James Petralli in 2006, this L.A.-based band started playing post punk music and over the years blended shades of soul, jazz and southern-rock into their sound. They have played a plethora of festivals like SXSW and Glastonbury, as well as opening for Wilco in 2012. They also had their song “Hah Ha Ha Ha (Yeah)” used in the trailer for the Nintendo Switch. Inspired by Nick Lowe and Joe Jackson, they released their debut “Let’s Talk About It” in 2007.
With lyrics about knowing oneself well enough to be able to look within yourself and identify what needs to change, their new single ventures into 70s-styled yacht-rock. Taken from their upcoming album “12”, expected on December 6th, there’s a distinct summery calmness radiating from the melody. With a mellow rhythm, jaunty synth and breezy guitars leading to a sprightly bridge, it’s the soul-infused vocals and whimsical keys that fill this vintage-dipped groove full of charm.
