Just Charlii unveils vibrant new EP ‘Phoenix’
London-based singer-songwriter Just Charlii has released her sophomore EP ‘Phoenix’, out Friday 13th September.
An exciting collection of modern R&B tracks, ‘Phoenix’ is named after Charlii’s rebirth and truly captures the essence of the project. Things kicks off with the heartbreak and lament of ‘Because Of Her’, before delving into the mental health-addressing honesty of ‘Blessings’. The sultry ‘Do You Right’, one of two tracks from the EP already released as singles, then sees Just Charlii’s eye-catching vocals take centre stage amidst a flurry of mutated vocal samples, twitchy snares and sparse drums. The other single, ‘Take Note’, is the record’s final track and an ultra-smooth conclusion to an accomplished collection of work.

ZAALWE debuts wistful new track “Lakeside” | Debut EP out August 27th
The track premiered via Impose Magazine where ZAALWE detailed, “‘Lakeside’ is an ode to a breakup that coincidentally happened the day of the solar eclipse in August of 2017. The whole sunny and groovy 70’s sounding timbre was definitely inspired by songwriter Laura Nyro, who I got particularly into when I had recently learned that she lived on the same road I grew up on.”
Walrus (Besnard Lakes, Dead Meadow) | Share Chad VanGaalen-directed Video & New Single
‘Half-Smoke’ is taken from the band’s forthcoming second album, ‘Cool To Who’ which is set for release via Outside Music (Besnard Lakes, Tinariwen) on October 18, 2019. The new clip is a lysergic trip that finds animated alien shapes warping into diamonds and goblins twisting into melting castles, something that Chad – who previously directed videos for Daniel Romano and Timber Timbre – looked to synchronise to the band’s track’s propelling rhythm and fuzzy guitars.
Chris Ahlman announces the international release of the track “Rolling On The Wind”
San Francisco based indie rocker Chris Ahlman has released his track “Rollin On The Wind’ Internationally. Having played over 100 shows so far this year Chris noted that wherever he played this track instantly builds a connection with his audience.
This folksy indie song was written in memory of Michael’s friend who sadly lost his battle with mental health, as the songwriter says: “It shocked me how much we wear masks every day & how hard it is to see what is bubbling away underneath. Most of the time I feel that this song is not my song to sing, but then I remember the solution of all this is to talk more openly and be prepared to share our inner demons with friends and loved ones.
