Boo Seeka – “Stories”

Although this project started out as a duo in 2015, it is now a solo endeavor of Australian singer/songwriter Ben Gumbleton. In that first year they were nominated for Unearthed Artist Of The Year at the J Awards. Combining smooth synths and rolling beats, he’s created a layered electro-pop sound. Inspired by Massive Attack and Mayer Hawthorne, he debuted with “Kingdom Leader” in 2015.

Encapsulating the Australian summer in a fresh electro bop, his new single is a welcome dose of sunshine for those of us enthralled in wintery conditions. Starting with vitalizing guitar strums, soon the track ascends with an infectious beat. Basked in a glistening radiance, it’s his emotive, laid-back vocals teasing the bouncy rhythm, that guides the listener through the sunlit notes of this groove.

Gemelle – “Play It Cool”

Rising duo of Swedish twins Emma & Tove Ekström were born and raised in Stockholm. They started playing guitar and harmonizing at home, adding more instruments as time went on. Having studied the arts of music, they developed as singers, songwriters, instrumentalists and producers. Inspired by artists like Brandy and Bruno Mars, they debuted with a cover of TLC’s “Waterfalls” in 2020.

Blending smooth 90s R&B with a touch of classic soul, their new single is an ear-stroking gem. Starting slow with a breezy synth, gentle finger-snaps and flirtatious vocals, the track evolves into an easy-going, alluring retro R&B vibe. Going more upbeat in the opulent chorus, it’s the mellow rhythm, mellifluent keys and their winsome vocals that turn this luscious tune into something superbly cool.
