RUUTH - SO HEAVY

Music, Original MixMike DooseComment

Ruuth is a new name to the blog, but we’ve had backyard pool party hangs so we’re pretty much homies by now. She hails from a small island off the north coast of Germany, near Denmark, but was in Los Angeles recently for sessions with writers/producers (the likes of Emmit Fenn, Graham Candy, Younotus, Em Basa, and several other acts). 

“So Heavy” is only her second original solo release, following “All About”, her impressive debut single. With it, she continues to establish her forward-thinking lightweight electropop sound, characterized by catchy, lilting, bouncy melodies and percussive, minimal production. Lyrically, she speaks on the seriousness of a toxic relationship, “Why does it have to be so heavy? Why do we drag each other down?” Ruuth tells a compelling story through her uniquely sweet and airy vocal approach coupled with relatable lyrics and memorable melodies. We’ll be keeping a close eye on her as she continues to share more foot-tappingly terrific tunes.

Music, Original Mix, PREMIEREAlli LindseyComment

LA pop songstress Haneri returns with “Real Love,” a cheeky, porcelain pop gem. Former runner up on Singapore Idol, Haneri is breaking down the walls around her, redefining her legacy as an individual creator. Haneri blends Asian pop with American electronic as a flickering, animated beat is soothed by her charming vocals. Expelling a playful energy, this optimistic joint is an ode her 11-month-old pup, Snowball. The carefree nature of this track shines with each transition, breathing life into Haneri’s humor, affection, and prophecy as a star.

R.LUM.R - WITH MY WORDS

Music, Original MixAlli LindseyComment

Critically acclaimed and described as “Gallant meets Frank Ocean on Nikes,” Nashville’s own R.LUM.R returns in a proper r&b fashion per his latest release, “With My Words.” The rising star was just pinned as direct support for Louis The Child’s nation-wide tour kicking off in November. His latest joint is a breezy, soul saturated outline of optimistic production and insightful lyricism. Redefining the notion of swagger, R.LUM.R is shaping up to be one of the most exciting contemporary pop-R&B acts this year. Lush and inviting, “With My Words” yields a radiant, easy aura. Nikes on, volume up- watch this space for more from R.LUM.R

FRND - BEFORE U I DIDN’T EXIST

Music, Original MixMike DooseComment

Everyone’s favorite Koala-loving producer/artist FRND is back again with another deliciously glitchy and catchy pop banger. The title offering from his upcoming second EP, “Before U I Didn’t Exist” follows last month’s “Erase.” It’s what one might call an oddly humanist robotic glitch-pop opus, replete with FRND’s signature sugary vocal hooks, futuristic synths and emotional heart-on-his-sleeve lyrics. The production is so unique and crisp, and the catchiness of the underlying composition just makes this one addictive track. There’s even a RAD anime-style video accompanying the release which follows an odd pair of lovers as they embark on a post-apocalyptic adventure to escape Earth. I won’t spoil the ending, so you’ll have to watch it for yourself HERE. Keep your eyes on FRND because he may just be on the verge of blasting off.
