Hold On To Your Breath

Sleepy Tea's ambient track offers a refreshing change of pace from the heavy bouncing beats and overly produced tracks that so often fill up the summer release lists. 

The track feels like a dreamscape, with sweet vocal harmonies melting into a soft, winding melody and a slowly building beat that pushes the track forward at its own pace. The sturdy drums, persistent piano, sweet guitar, and soft horn combine to create an hypnotizing track that is only made better by its articulate lyrics.

Beginning with "there's no looking back from here, whose is this life I'm living" and developing into great lines "day to day we live like the summer, it's wallpaper thin and rolls on forever, try to get oxygen burning the same lines, searching to find little pieces of all we had" while the chorus earnestly insists "and the day will come again when you'll be fine, hold on to your breath as best you can, knowing this will fade away in time"; these lyrics could not be more eloquently put.

Listen to the entrancing track now for a sweetly lulling sound and head to Sleepy Tea's Bandcamp page to grab your copy now.

What I Need (Right Here Right Now)

Bassmonkeys (production duo Dale Askew and Scott Stoddard) offer up a breezy beach track with their newly released single "What I Need (Right Here Right Now)".

A sweet summer melody and a fun beat pull you into the track while Justina Maria's souful vocals offer up fetching lines "sometimes we need to get away, sometimes we need a little peace and harmony, there's no need to be afraid, 'cause the sun will always shine on you" and the continual "I know you want, you want everything, but what you need's right here right now".

The fun-loving single is stuffed to the brim with addictive beats that will have you listening on repeat and the whole track screams of summer.

Anyway

MoXiiE's rich vocals carry out articulate and honest lines "you've been less than perfect, but what's perfect anyway?" and "what do we know about love? All we can do is try. What do I know about love? Just that it's in your eyes" while a fun melody sucks you into the song and a slow beat builds to a steady rhythm that is so impossible not to move along to.

The single offers up experienced lyrics, a balanced composition, and should leave you more than a little excited to see what this artist comes up with next.

A+D

Vita Chambers' latest single is as easy to listen to as ever, with her always great lyrics and hearty beats appearing in force. 

The chorus' "cuz this feels like a devil and an angel fell in, fell in love, just the right dose of right and wrong" is mirrored perfectly throughout alternate lyrics "if you're loveless we can find some love for you, and if you're drinkless we can fix that too" while potent lines "for a price we all got a soul to sell, don't tell yourself lies you don't have to, just cuz it's said don't mean it's true" hold Chambers' signature relatable lyrics and mix so eloquently with her pure, strong vocals. 

A gorgeous melody mixes with a fast paced beat and a bass heavy enough to feel so alluringly that you'll be ready to hit repeat before the track has faded out to its subtle end.

Check out the orchestral version for a charming twist on this single; featuring a sweet string quartet holding its own against a prominent rhythm and recurring synth line, it truly emphasizes the track's bittersweet quality.
