The Ivy – “Street Dog”

The Ivy’s latest single, “Street Dogs” is an homage to the stray dogs they encountered on a trip to Mexico. They do what they want, but nobody bothers them as they play their role in society. Lyrically, the concept of the “bad boy” character with confidence and swagger was inspired by the four-legged creatures. This track gets its production shine from Grammy winning LA duo SameSame (Portugal The Man, Cage The Elephant), who co-produced and co-wrote this song. Tusla-based duo The Ivy developed their sound by fusing indie rock with R&B, Pop, and a touch of pop punk sensibility. After receiving 25 million combined streams on Spotify with their viral singles “Gold” & “Have You Ever Been in Love”, the duo is set to deliver their debut full-length album ‘A Door Still Open’ this year.

Goodvibes Sound – “I’ve Been Here Before”

When it’s good it’s great, but we all know that the highs never last. The new single “I’ve Been Here Before” by Goodvibes Sound explores this back-and-forth that we all experience throughout life. While the lyrics discuss feelings of isolation and loneliness, the contrast between mellow verses and catchy high energy choruses evokes this repetitive cycle. London-based duo Goodvibes Sound draws their inspiration from the sounds of 1970’s West Coast psych-pop and disco. This release is the first in a series of singles which will culminate in their forthcoming album entitled “Sunset City”.

Certainly So – “Lucid”

In Certainly So’s latest single, “Lucid”, the band explores this introspective concept.

Matt Rollings – ‘The Valentine Sessions’

‘The Valentine Sessions’, the new album by Matt Rollings was inspired by his early love for piano jazz trios which had a huge influence on him as a young musician.
