"As a queer artist it is important to me to sing my narratives of love and put them out there. When I was growing up I didn’t have the type of love I wanted playing on the radio, and I struggled to find artists I could look up to for it. I want to help other queer people feel seen and know that not only is it normal, but that our love should be celebrated." ettie
Roisin O’Hagan “Road From Nevada”
Dreamy guitar sounds and smooth percussion invite into a soulful celebration of life, love for exploration and experiences, and love for the person she has grown to become. Her beautiful vocals soar high like an eagle, and the lyrics are tipped full of little references, tipping hat to the artists whose music had inspired her music the most, as well as giving a nod to phrase "sometimes dreams do come true".
TOUGH ON FRIDAYS – “LUSH (REIMAGINED)”
‘Lush (Reimagined)’ is a reminder that songs are merely snapshots of where a band is on any given day, that you shouldn’t draw a line under them and consider them having found their final form and that the best songs are those that evolve along with the band itself. - Tough on Fridays
Arlando Mba “Sweet Child Of Mine”
This is a very emotional ballad that will, no-doubt, touch the souls of all those of us who have lost their beloved. Most likely it will also offer solace to those for whom it's their deepest fear. And as words often get in the way of explaining the feelings, it's always better to seek solace from something as heavily relatable as this single and let the feelings flow.
DIVINE DECADENCE – “PURPLE DRESS”
"Purple Dress is about a mysterious dark woman, a kind of chameleon. She doesn't care what people say or think. She waits for the right moment to set herself free and to become who she really is, whatever it costs. The rhythm of this track reminds one of a tango in order to underline the fierce sensuality and the strength of the character. Also, purple is one of my favorite color so that's why it came first to my mind when I wrote this song." - Tatiana / Divine Decadence
Under Delusion “Runaway”
The song touches on a very deep spot about the world and its social perception of it. It opens our eyes back from the pink situation that is trying to sell us everywhere and puts forward the real things which are much less beautiful and superficial. I feel like the song literally gives us a place to escape to.
Natalie Rogers – Full Body
"Full Body" is my first self-produced track. Five years ago if you knew me as a musician, I was barely able to play any instruments. Now I'm pretty fluent with piano, bass, and drums which allowed me to produce this song. I worked on it all through quarantine and I'm super excited to share it with everyone!" Natalie Rogers
The River “Tick Tock”
"This song is about pushing through the doubts created by my own mind as well as the doubts other people have expressed to me. It's a reminder that my reality is that of my own creation. The idea of time is something I think about a lot and I always feel like I am running out. I feel guilty about the time I've lost to distractions and bumps in the road. But really the only thing I think we as humans have is time. It's not scarce, it's the only thing we all collectively have the most of." The River
Absinthe Green “Give The Devil His Due”
“This is a song about temptation. The story starts with the main character having a nice evening at home, strumming her guitar, while the devil pays a visit, knocks on the door and as he tries to seduce her, a dialogue begins." Abstinthe Green
Shyli Madhala “Rainbows & Sunshine”
"My upcoming single 'Rainbows & Sunshine' is about our life online. How unreal and confusing it can be, how lonely it can make us. It’s a reminder to myself and whoever wants to remember with me, that our hearts want to be loved for the messed up human beings that we are, that we need a real connection between us to be healthy, not just a WIFI connection.".
