1) JACOB CASTLES – No Time for Love

Emanating straight from the heart of Charlotte, United States, indie melodic pop rock artist Jacob Castles emerges with his new single, “No Time for Love.” Echoing the vibes of celebrated artists in the genre such as Michael Stipe, Castles infuses alt-rock pop and indie pop elements to weave a compelling, cinematic tale. “His melody sways flawlessly between soft rock notes and dream pop overtones, making listeners come back for more even when the track ends,” says one enthusiastic reviewer.

In one listen, it’s not hard to discern why Jacob Castles is rapidly turning heads in the US-based culture. His male vocals resonate with potent yet controlled power pop energy that is deeply reminiscent of Big Star’s signature style. Still, he maintains a distinct, authentic voice that distinguishes him from his contemporaries. Profoundly, the reviewer goes on to posit, “His voice unveils a universe of its own, capturing the essence of piercing love songs through the intricate rhythm of holiday music.”

2) ANANDA XENIA SHAKTI – Songs from Source

Coming from the heart of Canada, Toronto, a gem of an artist emerges – Ananda Xenia Shakti. Her current single, “Songs from Source,” is a fusion of art pop and experimental electronic engulfing its audience with a euphoria reminiscent of famed artists like Grimes and Kate Bush. Undeniably, there’s an intoxicating, almost trance-like quality to her music. Her electronic pop sound, coupled with dream pop sensibilities evokes a meditative state, her female vocals dancing as ethereally as the northern lights.

Shakti’s music is uniquely hers, but also indisputably influenced by her Canadian-based culture. It’s super catchy, combining alternative pop with 80’s vibrant vibes, and drenched in a nostalgic atmosphere that is both poignant and comforting. As once said by a renowned music critic, “Shakti’s music is the sonic embodiment of a daydream, taking you places you never knew you wanted to go, but are overjoyed once you’ve arrived.”

Her music exudes Middle Eastern vibes, specifying electro dance/EDM as the driving force, yet imbued with bohemian new age allure. This is strikingly apparent in “Songs from Source,” where every word and note resonates profoundly. One can’t help but relate to the rhythm, riding its waves of jubilant dance beats, laced with sublime, spiritual overtones.
