Vacation Generation takes on Current Joys and makes the song A Different Age their own. The inspired cover features a convincing vocal performance full of emotional complexity and unequivocal truth. You can hear how the singer connected with the composition in a way that compelled him to make the words his own. Thats the magic of good songwriting, it embodies everyone. Stylistically the arrangement recalls early Arcade Fire. Nice work.

There’s something about when you put a name and a personality to a song. Jon Often embraces that complex with his new single Joey. Somewhere between indie folk and jazz infused indie pop, Jon Often finds the middle ground between Brett Dennen and Jacob Collier. It’s just one flavor from his extensive palette which includes forays into synth pop and indie rock. Jon Often is a name to remember.

Lonely Parrots provide a feel good spiritual summer hit with their new single Soulmates. Its a clever crossover pop gem. Its a smart composition that could appeal to underground fans while still hitting it big time on mainstream radio. It’s freaky catchy with subtle nods to Coldplay and The 1975.

Damn that’s groovy catchy. We adore the infectious nature of How Much Does It Take To Shift It All by FKJ. Featuring Lucy Park, the neo soul songwriter finds bliss in an organic arrangement full of lush melodic sensibilities to match his intoxicating vocal delivery. Stylistically we hear shades of Rhye with some added R&B soul flavor. Ooooh that’s nice.
