JEWELIA – Second Best – United Kingdom, London – 21/10/22
Next in this week’s run down we have the gorgeous stylings of Jewelia, the London-based pop artist offering us some gorgeous dreamy vocals. Jewelia is very original Swifty, meaning if you are a die-hard Taylor fan this may be able to be your new fix. This latest track ‘Second best’ covers a very unusual and often avoided topic, being that not everyone needs to be above average, it is, in fact, ok to not be ‘The best’.
Featuring beautiful, simple beats, amazing layered vocals, and epically subtle but important keys, laced between nostalgic guitars, this track will have you happy and content in that being average is the norm and nothing to be sad about!

Before now this was a state I had heard of in the movies but never really cared to know its whereabouts. But after listening to this amazing track I needed to know more about the place that inspired this artist to create this gorgeous EDM, synth explosion of a track. Featuring epic buildups that will leave you on the edge of your seat before running to jump with the crowd ‘You can’t break my heart’ will have the whole room moving! Don’t believe us? Have a listen!

Cherry Thomas – BARBEDWIRE – United States, Salt lake City – 31/10/22
It is rare I find a track and am left gob-smacked but this is what happened with this latest track from Salt Lake City, United States artist Cherry Thomas. From the second the track began I was launched into a world of sensory explosions, where deep bass, soft disco strings, and eloquent gorgeous vocals ring through the airwaves. It did not take much to have me hooked and waiting on each and every syllable. Discussing the topic of mental health in a relationship and the impacts that can have this track not only shares an important message but does so with finesse!

Featuring a variety of highs and lows which complement the story of the topic so perfectly and really accompany the enticing vocals exquisitely. It is evident there is a great influence of Britpop in this one, which is an amazing thing to have, as this creates a great uniqueness within its genre.
