In The Spotlight

Lilly Ahlberg – “Moonlight”

Born in Sweden, but now based in London, this globetrotting singer and songwriter first picked up a guitar aged 14, when her brother taught her to play Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car”. Soon she was uploading covers to YouTube and, with the growth of her confidence, also original songs. Inspired by artists ranging from Fleetwood Mac to Tove Styrke, she debuted with “Bad Boys” in 2018.

Showing off a colorful spectrum of luscious tones, her new single is a resplendent portion of delightful pop. Highlighting the intimate lyrics about the difficult search for an identity, it’s the glossy acoustic guitar and her crisp, alluring voice that entices you in and lead you by the ear to the enchanting chorus. With an organic sweetness and refreshing finesse, this tune is filled with auditory charm.

In The Spotlight

Half Moon Run – “Favourite Boy”

Formed in 2009 in Montreal, students Conner Molander, Dylan Phillips and Devon Portielje took their classical training and omnivorous musical influences and created an one-of-a-kind sound. With Isaac Symonds completing their multi-instrumentalist quartet in 2012, they released their debut album “Dark Eyes”. They toured worldwide, opened for Mumford & Sons and played major festivals.

Taken from their third album “A Blemish In The Great Light”, their new single is an euphonic masterpiece, reminiscent of the great soft-rock and AOR bands of the 70s & 80s, such as Survivor and America. With a skillfully layered arrangement of the sleek synths, gentle guitars and a refreshing piano, it’s their harmonious vocals adding a dreamy edge that make this retro-dipped jam irresistible.
