In The Spotlight

joan – “Come Over”

Consisting of Alan Benjamin Thomas and Steven Rutherford, this Arkansas duo has been infusing the musical world with their infectious alt-pop bops since their debut EP “Portra” dropped in 2019. They spent most of their debut year on tour supporting the likes of The Aces and Jeremy Zucker, as well as headlining across Asia. They went on to play a sold-out headline tour in their native USA in 2020.

The third installment of their two upcoming EP’s “Hi” and “Bye”, expected later in the year, encapsulates the initial spark that might evolve into love, wrapped in a late 80s, early 90s retro tinge. Crystal clear synths and a neon beat instantly spark your curiosity and lead to the bubbly chorus. With added bass plucks and a generous helping of exuberant vocals, this is one dazzling, vintage-dipped jam.

In The Spotlight

Jess Ball – “Upside Down”

Hailing from Melbourne, this emerging Australian singer and songwriter grew up in a musical family. Inspired by the music of Jack Johnson and Missy Higgins they listened to on family roadtrips, she started to explore her own musical interests aged 11. Initially pursuing a modeling career for brands like Trussardi, she became one of the most requested voices by EDM artists like EDX & NERVO.

Taking her first steps on a solo pop-laced path, her debut single dives into the relatable subject of gaslighting and relationships filled with mind games. Giving off slight Lily Allen-like vibes, she coats it in her very own, fun-filled pop finish. Instrumentally going from slick electric guitar plucks to a thumpin’ beat, stroked by her harmonic, multi-faceted vocals, this jam will turn your ears upside down.
