In The Spotlight

NECTAR – “Rat’s Race”

Formed in early 2020 when Judah Pilcher, Jack Arnett, Jac Donnelly and Matt Smith started jamming together prior to the first Covid outbreak, this perky Australian quartet creates a sunlit fusion of jazz, indie-rock and soulful pop. They soon became a highlight of the Perth music scene, sharing the stage with King Ibis, Muscle Club and Ken Paolo. They released their debut single “Caramel Blue” in 2020.

Conjuring the radiant summer sun to warm these cold winter months, their new single is the perfect soundtrack for a smooth roadtrip in a convertible. With the wind in your hair, and their cool sonic vibes flowing from the car speakers, you’ll feel your troubles just drift away. With a laid-back rhythm, swaying guitars and a fresh saxophone solo, this revitalizing jam feels like a gentle musical hug.

In The Spotlight

Mikalyn – “Ready To Love You”

Born as Mikalyn Hay in the town of Guelph, this Canadian singer and songwriter has been writing songs since she was 7 years young and also plays piano and guitar. Initially picked up by a Brazilian record label who turned her original songs into EDM, she started doing collaborations. Inspired by Tears For Fears, Billie Eilish and Marina, she debuted her own infectious pop sound on “Gone” in 2018.

While chronicling the overwhelming emotions being in a relationship you’re not quite ready for, her new single is a catchy, vintage-dipped groove. With a beat borrowed from the 80s, a retro-sizzle from the vibrant synths and a warm glow from the lustrous guitars, this tune gets a colorful sparkle. And with her fresh, reverberant vocals melting into the melody, this luscious jam is ready to love.
