In The Spotlight

Rags And Riches – “Misbehave”

Native to Lexington, Kentucky, this sibling duo consisting of Peyton and Tanner Whitt grew up listening to a wide variety of music. As teenagers Peyton got a drumset for Christmas and Tanner an electric guitar. Since forming the band in 2017, they’ve opened for Fitz & The Tantrums and Leah Marlene. Inspired by the Dave Matthews Band and Led Zeppelin, they debuted with “Speed on Sound” in 2019.

Telling the tale of a couple in a stale relationship looking to get their spark back, their new single combines cheeky word play with a feel-good tune. Infused with 90s and 00s nostalgic vibes, it’s the playful guitars, shimmering synths and sprightly percussion forging a lustrous melody. And with their joyous, carefree vocals, this virulent groove has an inescapable energy that can brighten anyone’s mood.

In The Spotlight

Phebe Starr – “One Step. Two Step.”

Hailing from New South Wales, this Australian singer and songwriter grew up in the middle of nowhere with limited access to pop culture and technology. She taught herself to how play on an old Casio keyboard and nylon guitar. Since she’s played festivals like SXSW and opened for Of Monsters And Men. Inspired by Janis Joplin, Carole King and Dolly Parton, she debuted with “Alone With You” in 2012.

Diving into deep meaningful lyrics conveying the complex emotional journey of an arduous relationship, her new single joins her poignant words with a vintage-touched electro-pop bop. With analogue synths, drum computer and retro guitars, the track has the neon feel of a tune from the 80s. And with her intricate, yet powerful vocals, this intoxicating jam takes her one step closer to stardom.
