Sophie B Hawkins – Right Beside You (Acoustic)
Sophie B Hawkins’s music is emotion in song. Story in song. Consciousness, contemplation, and confession in song. Since her debut in 1992, she’s created so many songs, each one piecing together a meaningful experience with a universal charm. Her latest release is the ‘Whaler Re-Emerging’ album, a collection speculating on the acoustic versions of her 1994 album, ‘Whaler’. ‘Right Beside You (Acoustic)’ introduces it with dreamy alt folk instrumentals. Inspired by oriental textures, soft acoustic characters, and storytelling rhythms, the song is plush and opening into an expanse. Sophie’s vocals are so honest, vulnerable, and generous with her emotions. They form as ink spills on paper, thoughts in a journal, and waves on the shore. It’s easy to love and retro fresh with folk blues. Listen Now!

EG PHILLIPS – Nevada
EG Phillips’s ‘Nevada’ is a plush song. It is luminous and full of life. The instrumentals are soft and sharp as they expand into the imagery in the lyrics. Daydreaming about losing himself in Nevada, the artist sets the tone to freedom. He wants to indulge in all the fun and possibilities of the place, in abandon of all his worries and virtues. Endless skies, desert sand and the dream of wild Nevada. That’s what he aches for. And he so immersively creates it with this song. Deep grooves and winding melodies, coarse vocals and piercing tones; all this over a riff plane that will take you far into the escapades of Nevada. Listen Now!
