In The Spotlight

Dan Croll – “Talk To You”

Born in Newcastle-Under-Lyme, this British singer and songwriter grew up wanting to become a rugby player. When a broken leg forced him to change direction, he moved to Liverpool to attend the Liverpool Institute For Performing Arts. Now based in Los Angeles and inspired by various genres from A Tribe Called Quest to Tame Impala and Sylvan Esso, he debuted with “From Nowhere” in 2012.

Baked in the Californian sun and rich with West-Coast vibes, his new single tackles the loss of friendship when a relationship ends. Taken from his upcoming album “Fools”, expected on May 19th, he warmed his words with a dreamy soundscape. With a bouncy beat, mellow guitars and his velveteen vocals added to the breezy production, this is a charming, slightly retro-touched, smooth groove.

MANE – “Breathing Again”

Born in Adelaide as Paige Court, this Australian singer and songwriter started teaching herself guitar aged 16. While studying media arts at university, she began seriously pursuing a musical career. Since then she’s performed at festivals like Groovin’ The Moo alongside The Wombats and Meg Mac. Inspired by Hayley Williams, Billie Eilish and Lorde, she debuted with “What If The Love Dies” in 2017.

Written about the ability to look back and reflect on the past, rather than letting it consume you, her new single is an impassioned pop anthem. Starting smoothly with a mellow piano and her enchanting voice, the song ascends to cinematic heights in the rousing chorus. With catchy hooks, energetic drums and her vitalizing vocal power, this rich tune is a modern take on sparkling neon 80s pop.
