Raised in London, with Irish and Egyptian heritage, Shaefri’s music is as worldly and eclectic as you might expect. Her vocals, meanwhile, have a hypnotic, almost otherworldly quality to them, which combine to give her a sound that is truly her own. She has written with a number of artists and producers in the last few years, including Major Lazer, Christine and the Queens, and Daft Punk.

Jacob Collier is back with his third single for his upcoming multi-album project, Djesse Vol. 3. In the same vein as the previous tracks released from the album, Time Alone With You and In My Bones, this song pulses in electric beauty, which is very jarring when you compared it to his other work from last year’s Djesse Vol 2, such as Feel and It Don’t Matter.

UK indie rock soloist James Parkinson AKA One Cure for Man has released his most stirring track yet, “The Haunted.” Following the death of his friend, Parkinson was inspired to write this stunning tribute to a poet, teacher, and passionate music follower. But when listening to this track, you will find more than just a loving homage to his dear friend. You will also find a cautionary tale. The song provides a critique of social media, warning us that what we perceive is not always the truth. It serves as a stark reminder that we may sometimes envy the portrayed lives of others based on what they choose to show us on social media, but that perhaps we should not.

by Shaoni Das

Write a comment

Kodaline’s new track ‘Saving Grace’ is just earnest enough to strike a chord in you. Songs in this vein often go for the saccharine and come up short on the authenticity, but Kodaline’s piano-infused pop effort hits all the marks in terms of mood, instrumentation, and heart. This band from Ireland has been performing steadily for quite a while now, but their sounds remain as fresh and relevant as ever.
