In The Spotlight

Avery Raquel – “You Said”

Multi-talented and wildly versatile, this Canadian singer and songwriter began singing at the age of 4 and learned to play violin, piano and ukulele. Also a voice-over artist and radio co-host, she embraces performing in any shape. Inspired by artists such as Etta James, Amy Winehouse and Allen Stone, she debuted with a jazzy album “Life Lessons” in 2016, before changing to her soulful R&B & pop blend.

Putting to music the excitement when feeling new love, her new single was inspired by her own experience after a successful Tinder date. Taken from her self-titled album, it starts with cheeky guitar plucks and her honeyed vocals, before it comes alive with a bouncy rhythm and playful keys. Merging R&B and pop with a touch of jazz, this groove combines the flirtation of romance with euphoria.

Lisa Wright – “Ready Now”

This emerging British singer and songwriter actually grew up listening to her mom’s Motown collection, until Alison Krauss’ “Stay” introduced her to country. She attended the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts and performed at the Bluebird Café in Nashville. Having opened for Cam and Ward Thomas and inspired by Carole King and Sasha Sloan, she debuted her sound on her EP “Mind Of Mine” in 2018.

Filled with true honesty and genuine sentiments, her new single journals her fear of baring her soul, which results in a reluctance of falling in love. Accompanied by a delicate melody of a mellow piano and tender strings, it’s the mesmerizing quality of her timeless vocals that warm your heart. Conveying the message to open yourself up to love, this enchanting ballad is a delightful, vulnerable gem.
