In The Spotlight

Silk Tonic – “A Second Of Your Time”

Comprising of two childhood friends, who’ve been making music as long as they can remember, this Canadian indie-pop duo grew up near Montreal. With Matthew Brouillet being the lead singer/drummer and Mark Hodges the lead guitarist/bassist, they started the band OneFortySeven in 2017 and debuted with “Let Me Go” in 2018. Changing names in 2020, they released their single “Summer Time”.

Narrating the relatable situation of seeing someone you like when walking into a bar or club and hoping they will acknowledge you, their new single has a cheerful bounce in its step. With a funky beat and groovy wah-wah guitars lighting up the dancefloor, it’s the sensuous, multi-layered vocals which add sexiness and style. Steamy and highly danceable, this hot jam is well worth the full 2 minutes 45.

In The Spotlight

Charlotte Lansman – “The Cage”

Born in Bristol, this British singer and songwriter had a multi-cultural upbringing thanks to her American father, English mother and secondary schooling in Wales. She’s been surrounded by genre-spanning music from a young age, ranging from Garth Brooks and The Eagles to Nina Simone and Nirvana. She debuted her distinctive jazz, soul and blues sound and poetic lyricism with “Water” in 2020.

Introducing a misty jazz atmosphere to mellow pop, her new single is more an auditory experience than simply a song. Expertly layering the smooth rhythm, enchanting strings and jazzy brass, she forges a scrumptious, slightly shimmering soundscape. And by adding a touch of soul with her rich, contralto voice singing about resentment in relationships, she has created a fresh, one-of-a-kind jam.
