Rikas – “Bike In L.A.”

Based in Berlin, this German four-piece was born out of friendship and a shared drive to make something special. Consisting of Sascha Scherer, Sam Luca, Ferdinand Hübner and Chris Ronge, they’ve made their mark on the world music scene with their phenomenal live performances. They’ve collaborated with Benny Sings, played Fusion Festival and SXSW and supported Alt-J and Alice Phoebe Lou. Inspired by artists such as Talking Heads and Mark Ronson, they debuted with “Picasso” in 2018.

Written while being in Southern California and realizing that a car was key and a bicycle simply won’t do in the City Of Angels, their new single shines a light on the differences between the USA and Europe. Taken from their album “Soundtrack For A Movie That Has Not Been Written Yet”, the song is filled with breezy, sun-drenched melodic warmth. With a soft drum beat, mellow keys and light-hearted guitars, it’s the laid-back vocals that bind this irresistible airy tune together.

Koosje – “Beyond My Control”

Born into a theatrical family of a director dad and a drama teacher mom, this Dutch singer and songwriter started acting lessons aged 11 and was performing by 14. She studied jazz vocals at the Conservatory of Amsterdam and developed her skills more at the Conservatory of The Hague. Since then she’s supported Poppy Ajudha and toured with the Nederlands Studenten Jazz Orkest. Praised by artists like Gregory Porter, David Crosby and Robin Thicke, she debuted with “Growingwise” in 2018.

Singing about the overwhelming emotions felt when you have undeniable chemistry with a person, her new single is brimming with infatuation. Taken from her upcoming album “One More”, expected on May 9th, it’s a soft blend of neo-soul and luscious jazz tones. Starting with an hypnotic synth and mesmeric siren song, the track evolves with an ebb and flow rhythm and spellbinding bass line. And with a charming harmonica and passionate vocals, this is an enthralling tune.
