In The Spotlight

Liyah Knight – “Play It Cool”

Born in Australia to an Australian-Italian mother and a Nigerian father, this singer and songwriter grew up bouncing between cultures and finding it hard to fit in. After learning about poets like Allen Ginsberg and Sylvia Plath, she found solace in writing poetry. At 14 she began adding music to her words. Inspired by Amy Winehouse and Frank Ocean, she released her debut “Mine” in 2020.

Birthed out of 12 months of doing what she loves, her new single tells a story of not taking life and relationships too seriously and to just enjoy every moment. With an inspired fusion of musical influences, like classic R&B and buttery-smooth soul, it’s the bouncy beat, sprightly keys and balmy bass that shape an infectious melody. And with her flirtatious vocals, this groove is the epitome of cool.

In The Spotlight

The Money War – “Somebody Loves You”

Hailing from Western Australia, Carmen Pepper and Dylan Ollivierre are a couple both professionally and personally. Since their formation in 2016, they’ve toured all over the country supporting Meg Mac and Neil Finn. They’ve played festivals such as FOTSUN and SXSW. They debuted with their self-titled EP in 2017 and had their debut album “Home” nominated for an Australian Music Prize in 2019.

Born out of a realization how interconnected everyone and everything is, their new single relays a message to always try and see the big picture, especially when we feel alone. With a retro-sounding 70s vibe from the pounding rhythm, nostalgic keys and frisky tambourine, effortlessly carrying Dylan’s dreamy, vintage vocals over the melody, this is an airy groove filled with sonic magic.
