In The Spotlight

Sharl – “No Other”

Originally from Australia and now based in London, this rising singer and songwriter started learning musical instruments at 3 and has been writing songs all of her life. She got signed by an UK indie label and reached the semi-finals of the International Songwriting Competition. Inspired by Taylor Swift, Sia and Lady Gaga, she re-debuted as an independent artist with the single “Let Me Know” in 2022.

This song should start with Once upon a time, as she tells the story of feeling totally intoxicated with someone as if you were in a fairytale world. Taken from her upcoming sophomore album “Clichés”, expected in November, it starts with a warm bass and a punchy beat, before adding colorful synths and vivid brass. And with her silken vocal energy, this is a catchy, retro-touched tune like no other.

In The Spotlight

Ryan Nealon – “Matter Of Time”

Hailing from San Diego, this singer and songwriter’s life, as well as his musical journey, was influenced by the death of his mother when he was 5. Raised by his supportive aunt and uncle, he moved to Los Angeles after high school to study at UCLA and earned a bachelor’s in jazz studies. Inspired by Carole King, Stevie Wonder and Earth, Wind & Fire, he released his debut “When We Were Young” in 2016.

Telling the relatable tale of the fear of living up to people’s expectations and hiding that feeling of uncertainty for the world, his new single serves as a mirror to remind us to stay true to ourselves at all times. Driven by a propulsive beat and neon-infused synths, it’s the celestial harmonies and his delightfully retro-touched vocals, coasting over the lively melody, that turn this tune in a timeless groove.
