In The Spotlight

Sarah Klang – “Mercedes”

Born in Gothenburg, this Swedish singer and songwriter started performing in an electro band in high school. She attended the Uddevalla music school, but decided to stop performing shortly after graduating. Since restarting her career, she went on to win Alternative Pop Of The Year at the Grammis in 2019. Inspired by artists like Nirvana, Kurt Vile and Phoebe Bridgers, she debuted with “Sleep” in 2016.

Showing her most vulnerable side with deeply personal lyrics, her new single is a letter she wrote to her daughter, while she was pregnant with her, promising eternal love. Accompanied by a clip made up of home videos around the pregnancy, she tells her story over an 80s-infused synth-pop bop. With a pulsating beat, neon synths and her imposing, emotive vocals, this tune is filled with love.

Lusaint – “Fool For You”

Hailing from Manchester, this rising British singer and songwriter has been making her mark on the music scene for many years. Initially releasing impressive covers, such as Beyoncé’s “Crazy In Love” and Chris Isaak’s “Wicked Game” in 2021, she also lent her voice to dance tracks of DJ Franky Wah. Inspired by Nina Simone and Ella Fitzgerald, she debuted her original material on “Dark Horse” in 2023.

Telling the heart-wrenching story of an inherently toxic relationship, her new single shrouds her words in a classic soul-infused melody. Taken from her upcoming debut EP “Self Sabotage”, expected in October, it’s the jazzy rhythm, revivifying horns and her mesmerizing, 60s-styled vocal artistry, reminiscent of Nina Simone and Duffy, that adds a touch of class to this stunning and polished retro groove.
