Ryan Mack – “I Should Have Stayed At Home”

Grown up in Newbridge, County Kildare, this Irish singer and songwriter studied songwriting at the BIMM Institute in Dublin. He went on to audition for renowned manager Louis Walsh, which earned him a place in the then newly-formed boy band HomeTown. After the band disbanded in 2016, he embarked on a solo career. Inspired by Counting Crows and Joni Mitchell, he debuted with “Sofa” in 2018.

Lyrically catching the moment when you have outgrown the wild, carefree parties of your youth, his new single navigates the changes which growing up inevitably bring with it. Starting slow with some bass plucks and his storytelling vocals, the track comes alive in the bouncy chorus. With a sunlit vibe from the added rhythm and fresh keys, this catchy tune is worth staying at home for.

AISTÈ – “What’s Going On”

Originally hailing from Lithuania, this fiery London-based singer and songwriter lived all over Europe before calling the UK home. Initially studying for a different career path, she graduated from the London School of Economics, before fully committing to music. Drawing wide-ranging inspiration from Stax Records’ soul, Jimi Hendrix and The Beatles, she released her debut single “Say When” in 2018.

Attempting to vocalize the social, economic and cultural entropy we’re currently in, her new single is a 70s-infused psychedelic sonic kaleidoscope. Taken from her upcoming album “The Theory Of Everything”, expected on May 19th, it’s the flower-powered anthemic feel of the stalwart tune, the spiritual harmonies and her powerful vocals, that make this rich, prismatic groove a celestial retro trip.
