Tammy Infusino – “Used To Be”

Hailing from New York City, this singer and songwriter always had musical aspirations, but after college started waiting tables first. A Craigslist ad of a songwriter looking for a vocalist to sing a demo changed all that. Since then she’s lent her voice to several collabs, wrote songs for artists like Milow, did jingle and voiceover work and sung backing vocals for Kanye West and Drake. Based in LA and inspired by Alicia Keys and Etta James, she debuted with “Leave It Alone” in 2010.

Singing about how a rough breakup led to her prioritizing her own mental health, growth and self-love, her new single is filled with positivity and personal development. Taken from her upcoming album “Hiding Out”, expected in 2025, the song fuses retro elements with modern flair. Tasting hints of R&B, classic soul and a very funky chorus, it’s the live instrumentation with a buoyant beat, swish synths and her mesmerizing vocals that give this vibrant tune a virulent authenticity.

Mirrors On The Moon – “December Blues”

Launched in 2023, this New Jersey-based band was formed around singer and songwriter Donny Dykowsky. He was already performing at the age of 15, but 5 years later a cancer diagnosis put a temporary stop to his career. When he was able, he started performing anywhere with a stage. Now joined by Freddy Pastore, John Hummel, Dave Archer and Emily McMahon, they blend psych-rock with alt-country. Inspired by The Beatles and Led Zeppelin, they debuted with “Get Lost” in 2023.

Celebrating with an unexpected, blues-infused melody, their new single takes a look at the festive season from a different point of view. Feeling the emotions caused by the winter blues, as well as the jolly Christmas cheer, this song offers an alternative approach. Using the foundation of the classic blues compositions, it feels smooth and laidback and filled with sentimental soul. With a punchy rhythm, lively guitars and his vintage-touched vocals, this is the season to be bluesy.

Jack Drinker – “California King”

Based in Los Angeles, this singer and songwriter started singing and performing at 4 years young in the church choir and in musicals. In high school he started writing his own songs more seriously. He graduated from UCLA’s Herb Alpert School Of Music where he studied Music History and Industry and recently played a live show at the prestigious LA music venue The Hotel Café. Inspired by Gracie Abrams, Whitney Houston and Lana Del Rey, he debuted with “Bye Bye” in 2019.

Although the song has a lightness and an excitement to it, his new single also incorporates an awareness that inevitably things might no go the way you hope they do. Especially in relationships in which we might glorify people to be something they never were. Starting with a vulnerable acoustic guitar, the track soon evolves with punchy drums and jangly electric guitars in the catchy chorus. And with his refreshing vocals, this exhilarating indie-pop tune has an uplifting, anthemic feel.
