Syncopated Echoes: Alt Pop, Electronic Pop, and Tunes of Surprise

Will Lisil 1 November 2023

Steer through the twisty trails of Alt Pop, light up in the luminescent lanes of Electronic Pop, and unlock the vault of vibratory treasures.

Our music review, “Syncopated Echoes: Alt Pop, Electronic Pop, and Tunes of Surprise,” highlights innovative releases from forward-thinking independent artists and a lively playlist.

We kick-start our expedition in the fanciful culture of Alt Pop, where artists defy norms and reinvent the pop wheel with every note. Propelling next into the electrified Electronic Pop scene, we bask in the synthetic symphony and let the beat lead our journey. Drifting further, we surf across a prism of music styles, each contributing its unique gradient to our full-spectrum selection.

1) KELSIE KIMBERLIN – Another Chance To Live Again

A star on the rise, Kelsie Kimberlin, is taking Indie Pop music to the next level with her latest single, “Another Chance To Live Again”. As an artist from Washington DC, she encapsulates the struggles, losses, and resilient spirit of the Ukrainian society affected by war in her resinous melodies. Her striking female vocals effortlessly find their place among greats like Florence Welch and Lorde.

“Kimberlin’s music is more than a song, it’s a voice for the voiceless, advocating peace” serves as the best praise for her music. She takes listeners on a transcendental journey through the poignant story of war-stricken Ukrainians, expressed in her music and video. The haunting echoes of disorder and devastation experienced by the innocent people of Ukraine resound through her compelling verses and chords.

Experience the nuanced interplay of Rock Pop and Contemporary Pop in Kimberlin’s compositions. With a mission to heal and harmonize, ebbing and flowing to her tunes on Spotify, and supporting her Cause would bring about a small but substantial change in the world. And don’t forget to listen to our curated playlist.


2) BILJANA HEIGHTS – Stranger

In the heart of Copenhagen, a truly exceptional artist is making waves with her electronic pop sound. With the latest release of her EP, Stranger, BILJANA HEIGHTS gifts us with a unique blend of alternative pop laced with trip-hop. Drawing from her experiences as a child of immigrants in Denmark, and her artistic ventures in New York City, Biljana dives headfirst into the all-consuming theme of alienation. Indeed, Stranger embodies her Nordic and Scandinavian-based culture while exploring new creative territory.

Biljana’s captivating female vocals have garnered attention from TV shows such as Charmed (CW), The Rain (Netflix), Overleverne (TV2), and APB (FOX). Her art-pop style has drawn comparisons to famous artists like Björk and FKA Twigs. Her music is not only edgy and powerful but also evokes dream-pop qualities. As one reviewer stated, “Biljana’s music is a banger that leaves you craving more.”

With a rich, atmospheric sound that is on full display in Stranger, BILJANA HEIGHTS is a must-listen for fans of pop and the sublime. Don’t miss this captivating experience; be sure to follow the artist on Spotify and give our playlist a like and a listen. Visit BILJANA HEIGHTS’ website to uncover more gems by this exceptional artist.


3) RALPHY – Disco Sally

Based out of Los Angeles, USA, Ralphy embodies pure art pop in her latest track, ‘Disco Sally’. Paired once again with visionary producer Sam J. Garfield, her singular voice is encompassed in a whirl of compelling beats and electronic pop backgrounds, setting not just a tune, but a vibe. Drawing parallels with the legendary Studio 54’s icon, Sally Lippman, the song is playful at its core while carrying the unmistakable allure of disco.

The single exudes an electrifying rhythm and infectious energy not far from the commercial pop music aesthetics of artists like Lady Gaga and Madonna. Anchored on Ralphy’s throaty and captivating female vocals, the track effortlessly transforms from sultry to sparkling within its 3-minute duration. Whether you’re seeking music to work out or simply unwind, ‘Disco Sally’ has the goods that will get you hooked on the first listen. “It moves at an eager, racing-heart clip, like lights strobing across a dance floor,” a homage to the thrilling and liberating spirit of dance.

Garfield’s masterful blending of genres complements the lyrics that Ralphy co-wrote with Matthieu McReina. Nothing short of a tribute to freedom, the song captures a glimpse of the vibrant, Australian-based culture where everyone can freely bask in fun, wildness, and sexiness, giving misfits never-felt-before comfort. Don’t miss this key to a vital expression of self. Check it out, explore her TikTok, follow Ralphy on Spotify, and indulge yourself in our playlist.


4) BURN LIKE STARS – Juicy

Breathing new life into the rich tradition of alternative pop, our independent artist, hailing from Albany, NY, inhabits the stage with their unique sonic identity. Nestled comfortably between powerhouses of the genre like Maroon 5 and SZA, is ‘BURN LIKE STARS‘. Their single ‘Juicy’ pulsates with soul and charisma reminiscent of fellow alternative pop royalty.

Coloured by the distinctive flavours of US-based culture, their R&B-infused pop creation bubbles with an overwhelmingly infectious groove. As they express, “Such delightful rhythm compels even reluctant feet to move,” the music’s good vibrations are undeniably magnetic. The thrilling pulse woven into ‘Juicy’ assures that they are producing melodies that tantalize and inspire.

Harnessing the power of heavenly male vocals, BURN LIKE STARS paints a riveting musical landscape. Their offering deserves your attention – the artist is well worth a follow on Spotify and their other platforms. Soak up their musical prowess by visiting their website, liking their playlist, and indulging in their refreshing, soulful energy.


5) MARIA DEIRISARRI – In The Beginning

Maria Deirisarri‘s realm of alternative pop, a musical genre often navigated by legends like Florence Welch, embraces us with her album ‘In the Beginning.’ As a native of Atlanta, United States, her unique approach carries a touch of contemporary soul-rivalling legends like Amy Winehouse. Her self-penned songs, teeming with robust female vocals, immerse the listener in an aura of nostalgia, effectively engaging them in an easy-listening experience.

“In the Beginning” truly revitalizes the classic sound with amalgamations of modern pop and soul sensibilities. “It’s a melody that fills every silent moment with magic,” – a moving statement that perfectly voices the redolence of Maria’s sound. An evident trace of the singer-songwriter tradition of storytelling complements these tones, incorporating elements reflecting US-based culture.

For fans of pop and contemporary music, Maria Deirisarri is a beacon of refreshing compositions. I highly recommend that you explore her music, check her website, and follow her on Spotify, adding the charm of her voice to your playlist. Also, like and share our playlist containing her songs.
