DENNIS. - Vertigo
Gold Coast’s DENNIS. has made waves since her debut release, ‘Alive’ and sophomore single ‘Trap Door’. Now the vivacious act is back with ‘Vertigo’, a poptastic release set to make any pop stan smile with glee. Vertigo’s blossoming production is the perfect bed for DENNIS.’ infectious vocal performance to promenade unobstructed. Working with the likes of Keelan Mak and MDWS, DENNIS delivers an a-grade pop single rivalling the likes of Dua Lipa, Wafia, Troye Sivan, or Broods.

“With confronting truths and unanswered self reservations, ‘Vertigo’ faces the reality of one’s inner voices. It’s that constant push and pull that makes everything feel too real, falling into the trap of your own vertigo.”
Chymes - Sleepless
If you love the sweet pop sounds of Charli XCX, Starley, Muki, or Nicole Millar you’ll fall for the dream pop Chymes emanates in ‘Sleepless’. The fluid nature of the single ebbs and flows with a sense of grace and beauty. Sweet vocal arrangements transport the listener into a realm of bliss as ‘Sleepless’ burrows itself into the mind. Catching myself humming the melody on multiple occasions, I can safely say that Chymes has created a memorable earworm.
No doubt 2020 is going to be another pivotal year in Chymes’ already flourishing career.

“‘Sleepless’ is about crossing and blurring the lines in a friendship or relationship, where you end up falling into a trap of what’s familiar and comfortable, rather than what’s right or best for you or the other person.”
Tilly Valentine - Fit For A King
Futuremag Music favourite, Tilly Valentine has been on my radar since her debut release ‘Coins’ back in 2018 and follow up single ‘Brick by Brick’. Now the British act is back with another swooning pop piece, ‘Fit for a King’. Lush jazz and funk inspired production grooves as Tilly Valentine navigates a tender story of lost love. The motif’s class and style is elegantly expressed throughout ‘Fit for a King’s prosperous progression as Tilly Valentine flaunts her audacious artistry.
Tilly Valentine never ceases to blow me away with her utterly infectious jazz infused electro pop. I can’t wait to hear what else is in the bank for the remarkable act.

“‘Fit for a King’ tells the story of a significant relationship that was cut short, and reflects on what it could have been.”
Savannah Sgro - Friends With Your Girlfriend
Nashville muso, Savannah Sgro has released another catchy love themed anthem entitled ‘Friends With Your Girlfriend’. A brooding production compliments Savannah Sgro’s sultry performance. Retaining her signature hooks and belting choruses, ‘Friends With Your Girlfriend’ is designed to be caught in your brain for days to come.
Savannah Sgro is one of the US’ most promising musos and is certainly on her way to the top.
