Salarymen – “Let Me Go”

Based in Sydney, this Australian duo consisting of Renee de la Motte and Thomas Eagleton was formed in 2019. Thomas started out playing drums in various bands, but longed for more creative control. Renee is a vocalist, but decided to learn to play the bass as well. Since their start they’ve played at festivals such as SXSW and Lost Paradise and opened for artists like Royal Otis and San Cisco. Inspired by 60s and 70s bands as well as The Strokes and Foxygen, they debuted with “Please” in 2019.

Singing about staying in an unhappy relationship or limiting yourself because what you know is comfortable, their new single encourages us to face our fears, rip the band-aid off and start afresh. Taken from their upcoming album “Take It Or Leave It”, expected on October 31st, the song is laced with luscious nostalgia. With a touch of 60s psychedelia, retro pop and a sprinkling of 70s disco, it’s the scintillating synths, bright guitars and sumptuous vocals that make this a lavish groove.

Rachel Leo – “Nightfall”

Hailing from Auckland, this New Zealand singer and songwriter was born into a musical family. She began learning to play the piano from an early age and nurtured a dream to becoming a performer. She studied a Bachelor of Music at the University of Auckland. Since the start of her career, she’s been playing festivals, such as SoundSplash and Auckland City Limits Music Festival. Inspired by artists like Maggie Rogers, Taylor Swift and LÉON, she debuted with “Conversation” in 2021.

Inspired by the book series “A Court Of Thorns And Roses” by Sarah J. Maas, her new single captures the anticipation felt knowing you’re going to see someone you feel connected to. Telling her story wrapped in a seductive melody, the song is a hot-spot of sweltering energy. Driven by a vigorous percussion, it’s the shimmering synths that forge the sizzling soundscape. And with her sultry, flirtatious vocals enticing you into her colorful world, this bouncy pop groove is truly irresistible.
