Need new music fast? Here’s three new artists to get on your Radar

I still remember the day Norwegian singer-songwriter Sigrid released her debut single ‘Don’t Kill My Vibe’ and gave me my favourite tune of 2017. Why am I bringing that song up now –besides the fact that it’s a fabulous song – I hear you asking? Well, it’s because I want to introduce you to your new favourite pop muso Folly Rae and her latest single, ‘Sniper’. This is the anthem we all need, and the Sigrid vibes are so strong it is filling me with all kinds of joy. With its catchy-as-heck chorus, biting lyrics, and girl power attitude, give this tune a spin when you need a perk up or if you’re in the mood for a boogie. If you aren’t feeling like the most powerful queen after the first spin, hit repeat and singalong at the top of your lungs. It’s what I’ll be doing.

For some of you, this may not be your first introduction to Sydney-via-Melbourne artist Fluir (pronounced ‘flu-e-air’) but if it is, I promise this will be a very worthwhile meeting. While her previous singles like 2016’s ‘Gotta Have You and the sparkling ‘Only One’ are well worth a listen, it is her latest single ‘Change that has totally captured my attention. The first cut off her debut EP, it’s a bubbling, infectious slice of electro-pop, full of bouncy synth melodies and snapping percussion. This sun-soaked jam is the perfect introduction to whatever we are going to get from Fluir’s debut EP – slated for release sometime in mid-2018. As the warmth and sunshine begins to fade into winter, please bring me more Fluir tunes to keep the summer feeling going.

 

It’s about time you meet Florida-based five-piece The Hails. Their track ‘Younger’ came out a couple of months ago, but I find myself continuously coming back to it, so I knew I had to share it with you. Their first release of the year, ‘Younger’ follows a five-track EP called Impel which they dropped in the middle of last year. It’s hard to know just what to expect from The Hails. The EP moves through a range of styles – from gritty rock to delicate ballads and everything in between –  but here’s hoping ‘Younger’ is a sign of the band finding their sound, because they wear it effortlessly. Dip your toes into this quaint little bop, with its gorgeous singalong hook and sunshiny vibe. You can thank me later.
