Nicky MacKenzie – “Morals”

Based in Victoria on Vancouver Island, this soulful Canadian singer and songwriter was born with music in her DNA. Her mother ran a music store, allowing her to experiment with instruments, starting with piano aged 7. She also tried drums, violin and harp, before settling on guitar aged 10. Exposed to a variety of genres, from classic rock to Motown, and drawing inspiration from Charlotte Day Wilson, Daniel Caesar and Hozier, she debuted with her album “Honeydew” in 2018.

Singing about starting prioritizing yourself after having been a people pleaser your entire life, her new single encourages you to let go of doubts and give in to your wants. Infused with a silky-smooth, 90s-doused R&B honey, the song starts with delicate keys, before being joined by cheeky fingersnaps and gentle rhythm. And with her elegant, sugarcoated vocal charm putting a spell on you and an unexpected electric guitar solo, this enchanting satiny tune is pure sonic luxury.

Julia Logan – “Top Of The World”

Hailing from Dalarö, an island outside of Stockholm, this Swedish singer and songwriter got her start singing in a church choir. She began learning to play guitar aged 13 and, thanks to an American mom, she’s spent some of her teenage years in California. Since she’s played renowned Stockholm venue Nalen, performed with First Aid Kit in the studio and duetted with Nina Persson. Inspired by Patti Smith, Fleetwood Mac and Bruce Springsteen, she released her debut “To Be True” in 2020.

Covering various subjects, from personal growth to dealing with life’s ups and downs, without feeling the lyrics to be overloaded, her new single wraps her relatable words in a sweet, 70s-inspired melody. Taken from her upcoming album “Faraway and Nearby”, expected later this year, it’s the beauteous piano, alluring acoustic guitar and laidback rhythm that create a luscious soundscape and the sincerity of her tender vocals that give this dreamy folk-pop tune an intimate warmth.
