In The Spotlight

Alexa Villa – “Not Your Fool”

Growing up in San Diego in a musical family, this talented singer/songwriter started classical piano training aged 7. Always honing her skills, she began playing clubs with her parent’s band and performed on The Warped Tour. Now Los Angeles-based, she’s opened for Ryan Cabrera and The Darkness. Influenced by Miley Cyrus, Alanis Morissette and Led Zeppelin, she released her debut EP “Act 1” in 2017.

Written a few months after her toxic relationship ended, her new single tells the story about how to reclaim power after a break up. Taken from her latest album “Good Girl”, she wraps the empowering lyrics in an 80s-touched rock tune. From the retro-sounding rhythm and vivid guitars to her contemporary bubbly vocals, this infectious groove is bursting with new-found sonic freedom and fierceness.

In The Spotlight

Tor Miller – “Focus”

Hailing from Brooklyn, New York, this passionate singer and songwriter got interested in music aged 12 after his mom gave him albums of 70s and 80s artists like Elton John, David Bowie and Billy Joel to listen to on his daily commute. He started taking piano lessons and attended NYU’s Clive Davis School Of Music by day and performing by night. He released his debut EP “Headlights” in 2015.

Starting with mellow, 80s-infused synths and a crisp retro rhythm, his new single has a velvety, Phil Collins-like vibe. Sounding like the sleek, heartfelt ballads from the neon decade, he added a few contemporary electronic effects to bring it up to date. And with his hypnotic, silken vocals conveying every lyrical emotion with zeal, this delicious, vintage-dipped smooth groove is well worth focusing on.
