Born in Canada and now Brooklyn-based, this singer and songwriter started playing piano aged 7 and added guitar and saxophone as a teen. She grew up listening to the likes of Fleetwood Mac and Earth, Wind & Fire. Although never considering music as a career, she was uploading covers on social media in 2018. Inspired by 90s female singer/songwriters, she debuted with “Slow Burn” in 2019.
Incorporating influences from The 1975, Chelsea Cutler and Maggie Rogers, her new single chronicles falling out of love and the realisation that you have to let them go. Initially creating a dreamy electronic soundscape, it’s the addition of the throbbing rhythm, vibrant guitars and her soaring vocal might, that makes this poptastic tune burst with bright sonic colors and spirited infectious melodies.

Formed in the mid-70s by frontman Steve Cataldo, this Boston-based rock and roll band got their start as house band of the legendary nightclub “The Rat”. Signed to the club’s own label, they released their debut single “Loretta” in 1976. Over the years they’ve played all over the world and opened for the likes of The Pretenders, The Police and Iggy Pop. The current version of the band formed in 2018.
Using the bright palette of vintage power pop with textured hues of melodic rock, their new single paints a portrait of a beautiful, yet complex woman, who views life through her ritzy imagination. Taken from their upcoming album “Monsters & Angels”, expected in November, it’s the stirring beat and rich tapestry of electric guitars that will make you open your eyes and ears to this retro rocker.
