In The Spotlight

Sage Castleberry – “I Kinda Like It”

Born in Battle Creek, Michigan, into a family of musicians, this rising singer and songwriter grew up exposed to a variety of genres. First picking up the guitar aged 10, he’s been honing his craft ever since. He became a guitarist in the band of his friend Sam Luna, which also includes his dad Tim Castleberry. Influenced by Queen, Bruno Mars and The Band Camino, his exciting sound blends old with new.

While lyrically chronicaling the desire to have someone in your life just to feel less lonely, his debut single is an invigorating and spirited groove. With a pulsating rhythm, sparkling guitars and refreshing synths merging into a bouncy soundscape, it’s his rousing vocals frolicing over the melody, that fill this infectious, move-inducing tune with joyfulness and a slew of distinctive poptastic vibes.

In The Spotlight

Emie Nathan – “Static”

Born in New York and raised in London, this emerging singer and songwriter grew up in a very musical house, surrounded by the jazz of Ella Fitzgerald and Eva Cassidy as well as pop of Elton John and rock of Queen. She was also a member of the Capital Children’s Choir. Inspired by artists such as Bon Iver, Maggie Rogers and Coldplay, she debuted her rich pop-noir sound on her EP “White Light” in 2021.

Showing her vulnerable side by singing about a defining moment in college where an innocent decision let to a scary situation, her new single wraps the honest lyrics in a dynamic melody. Musically journeying from senstive keys and guitar strums to a passion-injected chorus, the tune follows the emotional ups and downs of the narrative. Genuine and heartfelt, this is a riveting, empowering jam.
