Kneeshake – “Godstruck”
Kneeshake’s “Godstruck” is a straight alt-pop anthem that has multiple grooves, a strong electronic influence and has an experimental flow that’s strangely appealing and you won’t know what hit you.
With eclectic harmonies, and background vocals that can enter the main arena, “Godstruck” finds the beauty in simply being alive. Upbeat, energetic, it feels like the entire song is running on Red Bull until the very end where the vocals trill straight into heaven.
Warahenege – “AIMOE”
Warahenege’s “AIMOE” would be the perfect song for a silent disco that has a giant mirrorball hanging from nowhere, reflecting off a single ray of light while you look your love in the eye.
The track’s glistening production is so well characterised, with each element architected to perfection.
Combine that with ethereal vocals, and you’ve got the perfect wind-down song that’ll follow you in your dreams.
<3peace. – “WHEN YOU KNOW.”
If you’ve not had the pleasure of listening to a song as soon as it’s out of an artist’s head, you’re in luck! Listening to <3 peace’s “WHEN YOU KNOW.” will make you feel like you’re in the room with them while they sing the words directly into your ear.
Technically, the track is sparse with just an intro synth, an acoustic guitar, and sanitised vocals. But don’t mistake that for limitation. It just happens to be the point when you prioritise honesty and intimacy.
Besides, that vocal melody could become the new weight champion with all the heavy-lifting it’s doing.
