Born and raised in The Netherlands, this silken singer and songwriter grew up immersed in music as the daughter of musician Rob de Rijcke. As well as making music together, she did vocals for various bands and recorded backing vocals for Splendid and Jon Tarifa. After emigrating to Canada and the death of her father, she took a break and returned with their co-written “Thinking Of You” in 2020.
Written by her dad and found on an old tape in his belongings, her new single encapsulates the musicality and poetry of her fathers songwriting. Taken from her upcoming debut album “Coming Home”, expected on May 10th, it starts with a mellow guitar and her crisp vocals, before adding a jazzy vibe from a warm rhythm and retro horns and making it sound welcoming and filled with love.

The Graduating Class – “Cooler”
Hailing from Portland, this sextet of funkmeisters was formed in 2018, when childhood friends John Queant, Natty Burmeister and Nate Hansen started writing songs together and performing in local bars. In 2021 the lineup was expanded with August King, Eli Hansen and Keenan Dorn. Inspired by The Killers, Chromeo and The 1975, they released their debut “That’s What Tonight’s For” in 2019.
Getting in your Delorean, hitting 88 miles per hour and traveling back to the neon decade, their new single is a celebration of various 80s sounds. With a Quincy Jones-like production, they blend nostalgic pop with copious amounts of funk. With a fresh sparkle from the synths, a punchy beat and Zapp-inspired, talk box vocals, this retro-infused, sonic trip redefines what being cool is all about.
