In The Spotlight

Seraphina Simone – “Lovesick”

Growing up with her dad Sananda Maitreya (Terence Trent D’arby) and having the likes of Prince, Chrissie Hynde and Pete Townshend as godparents, music truly runs through her veins. She studied in Oxford, UK and splits her time between London and L.A. Inspired by a wide range of influences from The Cure and Cyndi Lauper to Lana Del Rey, she debuted her unique sound on “Cherry <8” in 2020.

Written to process the emotions from a break-up not through lack of love, but because it wasn’t right, her new single reflects the heartbreak in word and melody. Taken from her debut EP “Milk Teeth”, it’s the lively drums and voltaic synths that lead to a sparkling, retro-dipped chorus. And with her transcendent and emotive vocals guiding your ears, this is a one tune you won’t get sick of.

In The Spotlight

Cortney Dixon – “Bang Bang, Honey Honey”

Hailing from South Shields, this British singer, songwriter and guitarist always gravitated towards music ever since childhood. She attended Newcastle College to study music, including the business side of things. Growing up she started listening to punk music like The Clash, but found her inspiration in the music of David Bowie, Kate Bush and Stevie Nicks. She debuted with “Summer’s Eyes” in 2019.

Incorporating genre-spanning influences and heavily dipped in 70s rock, her new single is an invigorating sonic explosion. With a thumping beat and heavy guitars filling the soundscape with musical TNT, she balances it with soft moments in which her raw vocal grit sounds truly riveting. And with a powerful howling electric guitar solo, this brisk jam blends all the best elements of classic rock.
