In The Spotlight

Hana Eid – “Let Down”

Based in Nashville, this singer and songwriter grew up in a musical family. She’s been playing guitar and writing songs since she was 9, honing her craft from playing to her family to venues nationwide. She’s also studying songwriting and music business at Belmont University. Inspired by Dave Matthews, Led Zeppelin and Phoebe Bridgers, she released her debut “What An Angel” in 2018.

Highlighting the contrast between the emotive lyrics, capturing the feeling of losing yourself in a budding love, and a slightly retro-rock vibe, her new single is an exciting merger of word and melody. First introducing a wistful electric rock guitar and later joined by an invigorating beat, it’s her authentic, vigorous vocal force that feeds the insatiable indie-rock power emanating from this tune.

In The Spotlight

Joshua Roberts – “Stay Stay Stay”

Born under the Floridian sun, this singer and songwriter is more widely known as the front man of the high-energy pop-punk band Magnolia Park. He grew up singing in church, but seeing Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” made him pursue his calling. He’s also been featured on tracks by 408 and plxntkid. Influenced by Labrinth, Billie Eilish and Usher, he’s now exploring a more softer R&B/pop blend.

Written while he was going through a breakup, his debut solo single chronicles the heartache, amplified by futile attempts to make them stay. Coated in a slightly neon 80s vibe, he wraps the emotive lyrics in a laid-back, yet lively pop melody with silvery synths, airy guitars and a power-pop rhythm. And with his heartfelt, velveteen vocals, this retro-dipped pop-rock tune shows a sincere vulnerablity.
