In The Spotlight

Gracie Moller – “Coca-Cola Girl”

Originally from Auckland and now based in London, this New Zealand singer and songwriter received a very musical upbringing. Her dad Buzz Moller is a singer/songwriter himself and taught songwriting at university. She got her first record deal aged only 13, after which she immersed herself into her music. Since then she’s toured with Only The Poets and played her first headline show in Amsterdam. Inspired by Taylor Swift and Lana Del Rey, she debuted with “Mess For You” in 2023.

Singing deeply personal lyrics about the intense emotions associated with feeling unworthy of someone’s love, her new single captures the complexities with honesty and vulnerability. Taken from her upcoming sophomore EP, expected at the end of November, she opens up her heart accompanied by an elegant piano. Later joined by a mild rhythm and gentle guitar chords, the song ascends to a velvety crescendo of pop. And with her reflective vocals, this lush tune is truly mesmerizing.

In The Spotlight

Reeve Stimpson – “Over Me”

Hailing from Powhatan, VA, this singer and songwriter was born with a creative soul. From making movies to acting in plays and writing songs, he found a way to express himself. He moved to Nashville in 2016 to attend Belmont University with the intention of becoming a country songwriter. However his love for 70s and mostly 80s music won out in the end. Inspired by artists such as Bryan Adams, Don Henley and Huey Lewis & The News, he released his debut “Somebody Told Me” in 2023.

Although people generally view the negative side of having somebody walk all over you, his new single reminds us that there is a fun side to it as well and that fun has been generously sprinkled over the neon melody. Blending the influences of various 80s artists, it’s an amalgam of sparkling pop and melodic rock. With the radiant retro synths, effervescent drums and bright guitars sparking joy, it’s the vintage vibe of his cheerful vocals that takes us right back in time to the vivid 80s.
