In The Spotlight

Ben Kessler – “Do It Again”

Born in Philadelphia, this versatile singer, songwriter and producer was already dabbling with acoustic music projects in high school, but decided to study English at Vanderbilt University in Nashville. Since graduating he’s been on tour with Lizzy McAlpine and amassed over 100 million streams. Inspired by Simon & Garfunkel, Bon Iver and John Mayer, he debuted with “Good Enough” in 2019.

With lyrics steeped in melancholy, singing about a lost relationship with a person that hurt you, but that you’re not ready to let go of, his new single feels relatable. Driven by a rolling rhythm and a refreshing guitar, he’s created a dreamy soundscape to get lost in. And with cleverly layered harmonies and his silky-smooth vocals fluently merging with the tune, this song sounds heavenly.

In The Spotlight

Rebecca Sichon – “Picking Petals”

Growing up in Mission, this Canadian singer, songwriter and musician was surrounded by classical and jazz music. She started singing aged 5, began taking piano lessons at the Royal Conservatory of Music at 7 and added ukulele and guitar at 12. She’s performed over 200 SoFar shows and toured Canada. Inspired by H.E.R., Alicia Keys and Amy Winehouse, she released her debut “Let Me Go” in 2016.

Sonically playing the does-he-love-me, does-he-love-me-not game, questioning a new lovers feelings petal by petal, her new single is a delightful fusion of R&B, soul and jazz. Intricately constructed with a mellow rhythm, rich bass and celestial harmonies, this alluring melody is full of warmth and charm. And with her sumptuous vocals stroking every note, this jam is a stunning smooth groove.
