SYTË – “Where Did The Love Go”
Having started as a duo, this New York-based quartet formed when singer Nita Kaja met future partner Drin Tashi during a visit to her family in Kosovo. They added drummer Granit Havolli and bassist Fatlind Ferati to complete the lineup. They’ve played various festivals like Sunny Hill and opened for Dua Lipa and Martin Garrix. They debuted their genre-spanning sound on their EP in 2018.
Written after reconnecting with a friend after months of isolation, their new single draws on their emotions during lockdown. Starting with a pulsating beat, groovy bassline and mellow synths, the rich melody forges a dreamy, ear-stroking soundscape. And with her lush, ethereal vocals transporting you to another world, this tune blends smooth jazz, lively pop and silky soul into a striking fusion.

Max Kaplan & The Magics – “Loving I’m Leaving”
Born and raised in New York, this captivating singer and songwriter grew up on the blues of his father, who taught him to play the guitar. Now Memphis-based, he studied music and English at Rhodes College, which opened him up to jazz. Influenced by greats like B.B. King, James Brown and Al Green, he reinvented the rich Memphis Soul sound and debuted with his band on “Mind On My Heart” in 2021.
Sonically traveling back in time to the vivid glory days of Motown and Stax, his new single could’ve been a forgotten soul gem of the 60s or 70s. Infused with emotive lyrics, highlighting the feeling of fleeting love, it’s the gentle vibe from the smooth percussion and mellow guitar chords bobbing along, that allows the thrilling horns and his heart-rending vocal power to reach deep into your soul.
