In The Spotlight

Marielle Kraft – “What Do I Do With Happy?”

Hailing from Rhode Island and based in Nashville, this singer and songwriter starting playing guitar aged 16, influenced by talented friends who were jamming together. She began songwriting while in college and expanded her sound with synths and beats. In 2018 she won the Mid-Atlantic Singer-Songwriter Competition. Since she’s shared the stage with Mt. Joy and GIRLI. Inspired by Taylor Swift, Colbie Caillat and Maisie Peters, she released her debut “How Far You Feel” in 2017.

Singing about learning how to accept a life of happiness when you’re used to sadness and pain, her new single shows that being happy sometimes needs some adjusting. Accompanying her emotive lyrical journey is a breezy, yet sparkling pop melody. Easing into the song with a mellow beat and mild synth, she adds a little more oomph in the pre-chorus with warm guitars, before injecting buoyant fun in the dazzling chorus. And with her authentic vocals, this tune is genuine pop candy.

Jo Davie – “Nothing Comes Free”

Based in Brisbane, this Australian singer and songwriter graduated from the Queensland Conservatorium in 2017. Immediately bursting onto the music scene, she was runner-up for Folk Alliance Young Artist Of The Year in 2018. Apart from playing various festivals like Woodford Folk Festival and Caloundra Music Festival, she’s also the lead vocalist for the band Cigány Weaver. Inspired by Joni Mitchell, Nina Simone and Laura Marling, she released her solo debut “Throw Me A Rope” in 2023.

Singing about how easy it is to get lost in worrying about something that you forget to actually enjoy it, her new single is filled with gentle nostalgia. The title track of her EP, released today, the song opens with a breezy, folk-infused melody. Combining a mellow beat with a wistful electric guitar, the notes lead us through a world of tenderness and vulnerability. And with the juxtaposition of her delicate vocals and a raging rock guitar solo, this layered song is a delightful sonic mixture.
