Acoustic

Premiere: Unstoppable - Aishlinn Kivlighn by E

With a warmth and enthusiasm that's contagious, Aishlinn Kivlighn holds a musical confidence and self-awareness beyond her 13 years.

The acoustic video for "Unstoppable" presents a vulnerable side to the originally bouncing track; as addictive as ever, but with an impressive dose of authenticity as Aishlinn delivers raw emotions in a pure state.

Sweet reminders ring out in lyrics flush with hope and persistence, sure to have the dreamer in you addicted, before slipping into a huge chorus - and even larger bridge - that Aishlinn's soaring vocals tackle with a fearless ease and natural swing; the powerful effect is one that will have you listening again and again.

Says Aishlinn of the single, "it's empowering and it's not just about empowering yourself, but also helping others ... even though I didn't personally write it, I feel so connected to it, because it so well relates to my values and things I try to do for other people and for myself".

Don't let her age fool you, the acoustic video for "Unstoppable" undoubtedly proves that Aishlinn can just as easily sing a soft and pretty verse as she can belt out a powerful bridge and we can't wait to see what she continues to do.

Trouble by E

Taken from the band's Cavities EP, The Queen and King's recently released acoustic track for single "Trouble" strips it to its base and takes the track from a flowery Owl City-circa-2009- meets-early-Sleeperstar feel to a pure, vast but full, honest declaration in a refreshing new take we're hopelessly hooked on.

Carousel Ride by E

Interesting lyrics and Traver's fun and lilting vocals are mirrored by the video for Rubblebucket's latest single, "Carousel Ride", which takes you on a crazy ride you won't want to end. 

Desperate lines "round and round and round I go, hoping for a miracle, I've got no place to run and hide, guess I'll take a spin on the carousel ride" are matched perfectly with the urgency of releasing the video's alien prisoner while a trippy melody falls in step with the risky plan of escape. 

It really all comes down to the uniquely addictive sound of Traver's full vocals; there's something about them that can keep any song interesting, but add in the band's rambunctious rhythms, twisted synth, sweet piano melody, inarguably fun brass, and flat out infectious harmonies and it's near impossible to not fall for Rubblebucket's sound.

Watch the new music video for single "Carousel Ride", pre-order their forthcoming Carousel Ride EP (available August 11th for UK listeners) and third full-length Survival Sounds (available August 25th for US listeners), and head to the sites to hear more from this talented band.  

"Carousel Ride" Rubblebucket

The acoustic video shows the band's indelible talent and there's something to be said about a band that sounds just as great recorded in studio as live; it's absolutely fantastic, the video should convince you to fall for the band's music, and Traver's dancing to the song is all of us dancing to the song while sitting at our computers.

Never Stop by E

This may be the sweetest song SafetySuit has put out, if only because the lyrics are so adorable that they overshadow the softly building composition and the bands wedding version of this track is just as sweet as it places the emphasis on Brown's vocals and that soft piano melody.
