Scandi Nadia Nair's "Hardships" is immediately grabbing with an inescapably urgent vocal hook and persistent beat. Nair's knack for mixing sounds is evident in her sweet but strong lyrics and lulling but prominent voice which takes center stage in this beautifully uplifting, hard knock take on the "it'll be alright" sentiment.

With a transcendent purity, 20 year-old Connie Constance's "Stars" whispers of innocence with clear vocals and a lilting synth backing dreamy lyrics. It feels all at once fresh and knowing and liable to have you falling for the gentle carefree spirit inherent in Constance's music.
Connie explains her intentions for the song and video "with Stars I wanted to create a safety net that allows escapism to a world that is totally accepting of you as you are and washes away all troubles and problems that are alive in reality…even if just for a moment."
