In The Spotlight

Axel Flóvent – “Have This Dance”

Hailing from Húsavik, this Icelandic singer and songwriter got his first guitar at the age of 9, but didn’t take to it. However his uncle taught him to play AC/DC songs and, after a move to Denmark, classical guitar lessons changed that. Since he’s played the Iceland Airwaves Festival as well as SXSW. Inspired by The Beatles, Bon Iver and Bombay Bicycle Club, he debuted with his EP “Forest Fires” in 2015.

Capturing the exciting feeling that new love brings, where the world seems refreshed and enhanced, his new single establishes a warm and homely feeling soundscape. With a repetitive rhythm, glistening synths and a dreamy vibe creating a tranquil pop melody, it´s his emotion-laden, polished vocals singing the heartwarming lyrics, that make this beauteous tune sound honest and full of hope.

In The Spotlight

Phoebe Go – “7 Up”

Based in Melbourne, this Australian singer/songwriter wrote her first song at the age of 13 on a guitar she stole from her brother. Two years later she fronted an indie dream-pop band called Snakadaktal. After their breakup in 2014 she formed the duo Two People with former band member Joey Clough. Inspired by The Beatles and Bright Eyes, she released her solo debut EP “Player” in 2022.

With melancholic lyrics about the unsettling feeling you get when you know it’s time to let go of something you didn’t want to, her new single balances the poignant words with a dreamy, upbeat melody. Using an acoustic instrumentation from the propulsive beat and mellow guitars, it’s her airy vocals that find their way to your heart and guide you through the playful, yet misty tune.
