With artists like AVELINE, Jay Kabalan, and Heidi Simpson paving the way into this week’s picks, it makes for a really jolly and fun loving listen. Definitely is sure to bring a group together while on travel.
AVELINE – Summerchild
Singer-songwriter and pop artist, AVELINE releases her sophomore single, ‘Summerchild’. Filling into an anthemic pop structure is a seamless bloom of dance, soul, and romance. She captures the essence of summer as she loves it, creating a dreamy sonic atmosphere in the process. The synth-pop number is dainty, yet passionate, celebratory, yet heartfelt, and glazed, yet real. It gives Lover Era Taylor Swift.
The track is strung with color, gradients enhanced and reduced by the expressive beat line. AVELINE’s vocals are plush, readily dissolving into the rippling lines of melody. The seamlessly made soundscape presents like a mood, filtered by buoyant sentiment and happy feelings.
Jay Kabalan – Me Gustan Todas
Jay Kabalan is a singer-songwriter and pop artist finding the dance in sound. His Venezuelan heritage and American upbringing has both played an influential role in molding his style. The mind strays to old school Latin pop artists like Enrique and Ricky Martin. His latest single, ‘Me Gustan Todas’ marks the third release of the artist, following his hit singles, ‘Mì Pelirroja’ and ‘FLAKITA’.
The track is a fun blend of party synths with soulful vocals and tropical dance rhythms. All the energy and the life is fathomed and propagated by the dispersing beat lines. It’s fascinating to see how the earthy textures are mixed in with EDM sensibilities and sensual Latin rhythms to encapsulate a carefree and jaunty atmosphere.
Heidi Simpson – What’s On TV?
Heidi Simpson is a singer-songwriter and a pop artist. With the single, ‘What’s On TV?’ the artist debuts her soft vintage pop style that is colored by pastel youth and whispering melancholy. The track is dressed in late 90s – early 00s vocals and accessorized with dainty frills of electronica. It gives Clueless era, early Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, and the like.
The track has an endearing obliviousness to it alongside an acute adolescent tragedy. With narrative lyricism and stream of conscious flow, the artist emboldens these features. The percussive style and textures also throw us back. On the face of it, it is a simple composition, but it is an emotionally-nuanced track. Of course, the sonic nostalgia is sure to capture the hearts of all Gen Z folks.
