When it comes to pop femme fatales only a few iconic blondes come to mind; Madonna, Lady Gaga, and Britney Spears. What if I told you there's a new femme fatale just waiting in the wings to take her spotlight? Tash Blake is an up-and-coming artist who, from the inception of her career, has shown the world just how powerful she is. Blake takes electronic club beats and melds them seamlessly with her posh vocals to create an otherworldly sound. Her new EP Atomic Blonde features these alien club pop soundscapes and mimics the illustrious aspects of Gaga's The Fame Monster. The namesake of her EP is no different. Atomic Blonde takes a great deal of its inspiration from the critically acclaimed Charlize Theron film by the same name. A woman coming into her power and living unapologetically in it. Fierce femininity in a blonde polished package. Atomic Blonde, the EP, is a love letter to dance music but Atomic Blonde, the song, is raw proof of Tash Blake's connection to the genre. With distorted synths as the heart of this track and Blake's robotic delivery in both dance and voice delivers an avant-garde look at electropop music. The music video expresses a similar vibe with strong choreography and glittering visuals Atomic Blonde showcases massive talent on Blake's part and a deep appreciation for the electric dance genre that many times gets overlooked by the masses. Tash Blake is an artist rooted in originality. She prides herself on self-expression in her art and truly delivers each time. The core of her art is inspired by her dance background. She began her career in December with the release of Mannequin. A powerful track that ignited the Femme Fatale persona, Tash has displayed in her records since. Tash wants her music to hold a message of empowerment and living unapologetically. Her fierce commitment to loving herself and giving the tools to her fans to do the same is exactly why Tash Blake will be the next pop icon. Written By Kaiana Lee FOLLOW TASH BLAKE:

"Here We Go Again" is one of the five tracks released as part of Victoria Staff's debut EP, Records & Honesty. The title for this EP is fitting, as Staff honestly pours out her heart and life to her listeners, particularly in this recent song. "Here We Go Again" details the chaotic and exciting cycle of a relationship with someone. It is about knowing that neither of you have changed or grown from the mistakes, but still coming back together and making them again. With years of songwriting experience under her belt, it is clear from this recent release Victoria Staff will be one to watch as she grows in the industry. In "Here We Go Again," Staff's sparkling vocals come in for the first verse, as she sings about being left broken-hearted, trying to move on, and then being pulled back to this subject of the song again when he calls. It is about a back-and-forth, merry-go-round type relationship that continues to be toxic and messy. Here, the lyrics are sung fast-paced, like Staff is just pouring out all her thoughts and emotions into the track. Transitioning to the chorus, she describes this cycle and how this romantic partner makes her feel with lyrics like "It's all the same and we both lie and say we've changed just a little" and "If I shake it's 'cause your love makes me shake just a little." Both partners know that they haven't changed. They know that they're doing the same things. But they continue to come to together and then break apart, anyways. It is an honest and authentic song full of gentle vocals, pop melodies, and soft instrumentation. Multi-talented, singer-songwriter Victoria Staff came into her music career after studying Behavioral Neuroscience at UBC. Her aim had been to inspire and help people with their anxieties and trauma, but she discovered that singing and writing songs was her passion. For Staff, writing songs is a way of processing emotions and improving her mental health. It is also a way to connect with an audience of listeners that might share similar experiences or emotions, a way to help them feel seen and comforted. Victoria Staff might have just debuted into the industry with her first release "Records & Honesty" on January 18, 2023, but I am already excited to see what music she will put out next.

What’s the best word to describe diving head-first into a new relationship despite previous doubts? Some would say “illogical,” which is what Mykyl is basing his newest electro-pop single off of, entitled “Logic.” Fledgling relationships are hard to pinpoint; you get a load of mixed signals, you do stupid teenager-ish things together, and when it finally seems you’re both on the same page, one of you gets cold feet and begins to second guess themselves. “Logic” is all about capturing the back-and-forth feeling of beginning that new relationship and overcoming the “logic” that you wouldn’t work out together and instead giving it a try, believing in the feelings that you have for one another. “Logic” is an ode to synth-pop and Ed Sheeran-like love lyrics; the first few seconds of the song immediately tells the listeners what kind of vibe Mykyl is going for. There is a constant heavy synth that hangs in the background, and with the chorus’ catchy beats, “Logic” sits between upbeat and chill, oscillating in a gray zone. Mykyl’s songwriting adds to both of these aspects– the lyrics, as previously mentioned, are reminiscent of Ed Sheeran’s classic storytelling music style. “Logic” is full of affection and the push and pull of a new relationship; it tells the story of two people who want to start a relationship, but one of them keeps taking a step back. Mykyl sings, “I know we were born to break the rules/but now you’re second guessing all the things we do”; that hesitation feels so relatable, reminding me of standing on the precipice of a choice that may either be heaven-sent or end up being a car crash. In spite of the need to pull back, “Logic” spends a lot of time being that encouraging voice when you’re feeling indecisive about a relationship. The song's core says that sometimes you have to abandon logic when it comes to seeing a new person– of course it might end badly, but it also might be the best thing you’ve ever done. You’ll never know until you try. Mykyl’s music career began in the midst of the 2020 pandemic and has only blossomed in the years since he released his first single “Never Be.” His discography is vast and filled with honest and vulnerable music; his songs are truthful in their sincerity and passion. Like a warm clasp of a hand lifting you up from a fall, Mykyl releases music that makes his listeners feel supported. Mykyl’s following has grown significantly since his debut release back in 2020, as his monthly listeners on Spotify now reach over 270,000. “Logic” is currently his newest single, and it is definitely worth every listen.

It is a great feeling when the people we love feel comfortable enough around us to show their deeper emotions. For example, they can cry and vent about a situation without the fear of being judged. This support can oftentimes be taken for granted though. The person doing the listening gives so much and they don’t feel like they’re getting anything in return. Holly Wild sings about being in this tough position in a romantic relationship on her new upbeat single, “Hard to Love.” If you relate to her story, remember that emotional support is a two-way street in a relationship. In other words, you should get back what you give. One aspect of the song that stood out to me was the instrumentation. Wild uses the track to vent about the tough times in her relationship. Even so, the music sounds very bright and happy. The blend of the guitar and drums gives off a nostalgic 2000’s vibe. I thought it contrasted very well with the deep and reflective lyrics. In the verses, Wild talks about all the support she gives with lines like “I spent the night by your side trying to be what you needed” and “I’m glad you feel safe enough to show me all of your demons.” On the other hand, the chorus reveals the toll it’s taking on her as she declares “why do you make it so hard to love you?” The bridge further reveals how Wild is truly feeling as she admits “I can’t always be this strong. Sometimes, I’m barely holding on.” Finally, I also liked how the song ends on a positive note. Wild decides she needs to reveal how she feels to her partner in the hopes that the situation will get better. Holly Wild is a singer/songwriter who was born and raised in Australia. She grew up in a family that allowed her to embrace her musical talents. She now uses them to inspire her fans to be the best versions of themselves. “Hard to Love” is her third release of 2023. If you want to hear more of Holly Wild, I recommend her song “Wild.” Similar to “Hard to Love,” “Wild” has a very bright sound with a simple acoustic guitar. The lyrics persuade listeners to let go of their burdens. This song aligns perfectly with her overall goal of making music. It is special for another reason, as it is the title track for her upcoming debut EP. From what I’ve heard so far, I know it’s going to be great!

Sometimes, negative experiences can be valuable opportunities for self-discovery, allowing us to find the positive aspects and learn from them. This is true for Skyler Day, who experienced a relationship where she consistently felt invalidated, diminished, and undervalued. In her latest single, “ The Best Worst Thing ,” she gets candid about her past relationship with a narcissist, sharing the range of emotions - from darkness and vulnerability to embarrassment. After reflecting on her past with this person, we see her coming to the realization that although she did go through a tough time, there were also some positive outcomes. Learning this has helped her in the healing process, which then helped her move forward and embrace a new and healthy relationship - one where she is heard, validated, and loved. In this song, Skyler shares the transformative power of acknowledging the good that can come from a difficult time, helping her grow and evolve. The song portrays a contrast between the narcissistic behavior of her ex and the positive lessons she learned from her time with them, leading to a stronger sense of self-worth. She starts the song by listing the cons of the relationship, such as disrespectful behavior: “ I hate how you’d speak to my brother” , and “ I hate that when I’d share my feelings you’d play them like a chess game. And I’d hold my tongue cause with you there was no winning. ” Then at the end of the song, she reveals an appreciation for the lesson that emerged from the experience: “ I could kick myself for being naive. And hanging on too long. And I could be embarrassed that I let you have those three little words at all. But now I, oh I know what I don’t want ” and “ I love that you taught me to fight for myself. Now I can't lose to anyone else .” The biggest takeaway was learning to fight for herself, valuing self-respect and knowing what she truly deserves in love. Even though she had some regrets about not ending this relationship sooner, she views it as a valuable learning experience. As Skyler moves forward, she ensures that she won’t repeat similar relationship patterns. She also confidently expresses this growth when mentioning her new partner, who makes her happy and supports her music career: “ And I’m happy to report I got myself, I got myself a good one. He’s listening to this song on our bedroom floor. ” Skyler Day is a singer and songwriter from Georgia. She wrote her first song at the age of 10 and learned to play the guitar at 14. “ The Best Worst Thing ” was already previously released, but now it's been re-released as a new version with a new indie label. She has a few EP’s released, where her second one ( Los Angeles ) had peaked at number 39 on iTunes in 2017. But when she's not singing, she's acting! Skyler has been on several popular TV shows, such as NBC’s Parenthood and Law & Order: SVU, as well as Pretty Little Liars, Sweet/Vicious, Hawaii Five-O, iZombie, The Resident, and Grey’s Anatomy. Check out “ The Best Worst Thing ” out now on all streaming platforms! Written By Sneet Efrem FOLLOW SKYLER DAY:

Elle Coves’ “Summer” needs to be added to all of your summer playlists right now. This song is a burst of energy with its catchy lyrics and upbeat vibes. Elle starts the song out by painting a picturesque scene of young love, where she’s encouraging a boy to hang out with her, saying that “the sun's not gonna wait for us.” She name-drops Converse and Capri Suns into this verse, contributing to the nostalgia factor that is heavily felt in the song. Elle wants to say goodbye to the sun and “stay to greet the night” with this guy, and she wants to dance to Hozier’s “Cherry Wine” forever. The pre-chorus sets up the chorus for massive success, asking a hard-hitting question that all teenagers are faced with: are we ever going to be like our younger selves, and can we even replicate that feeling? The chorus transports the listener to a place where their teenage self is in charge, where they stay out all night, sleep in all day, and lose track of time. Elle talks about driving with her friends and screaming along to their favorite songs (in Elle’s case, Harry Styles' music). She recognizes that “[they] must look insane”, but she brushes it off because it’s summer and all that matters is that they’re together. This song is very worthy of the “Song of the Summer” title. There’s a certain vintage feel with the choice of guitar and piano that Elle used here. The group of chanting people in the chorus elevates the experiences and transports listeners to a summery landscape, no matter if it’s in the dead of July or a dark December day. Truthfully, this song is enjoyable for all ages and demographics, bridging the gap between old and new music seamlessly. What makes this song so addicting to listen to is its upbeat but chill vibe. Yes, the chorus feels like you’re throwing your hands up in a car with the top down, but it isn’t overdone. The instrumentation isn’t in your face, and it’s dialed back from most other summer hits. Another characteristic of hit songs is a specific tempo. The tempo in this song (as well as many other successful hits) coordinates with the rhythm of a heartbeat, which drives an affinity for a song. In terms of production, Elle uses Fleetwood-Mac-style guitars combined with Maggie Rogers’ melancholic electronica vibe. Besides the guitar, piano, and drums, a beautiful synth fills in the gaps, creating a fuller and dreamlike sound to the song. To sum it all up, this song is 3 minutes and 7 seconds of pure summer bliss. Elle Coves sure had an orthodox start in the music scene. The 19-year-old was born in Germany to Spanish parents and moved to Ireland at 13. According to her Instagram bio, she is a “wannabe rockstar”, which is definitely felt in the two singles she’s officially released so far. Elle signed with Universal Music Publish UK in April 2023, which is home to singers such as Adele, Elton John, Coldplay, and Florence + The Machine. Even though her first single “Before I Fall Apart” was released on streaming in May 2023, she has had plenty of music experience before that. Her music went viral online, gaining millions of views across many platforms. In October 2022, she headlined her first performance in London, and she even toured with Lewis Capaldi in February 2023. As of now, Elle has over 100k monthly listeners with almost 500k streams for her debut single on Spotify. “Before I Fall Apart” was even featured on the famous Love Island UK television show. There is no telling how far Elle Coves will go, but she is absolutely an artist to look out for in the future. Written By Lauren DiGiovanni FOLLOW Elle Coves:

“Anything” is a heartfelt love letter about the little gestures and sacrifices you make for your relationships. As a relationship grows in strength, your feelings for the other person flourishes and makes you look at your own actions. Little things start building and suddenly you’re giving another person your sweater in chilly weather. You recognize their importance in your life and you try to act rational, but something about them feels magnetic. A radiant smile, their closeness, their willingness to be with you through anything. You want to give back and show how much you appreciate how golden your relationship has become. So you go on, showing them, through little acts of kindness, how you two can do anything together. Kyle Richardson’s latest single is a feel good anthem shimmering with wonderfully familiar pop nostalgia. The most stand out aspect of this song is just how much Richardson’s voice pairs with the lovely beats and instrumentation. As his voice sways along with the continuous motions of the rhythm, it is almost as if they are intertwined. They are two puzzle pieces that fit almost magnetically. The lyrics are simple yet engaging for listeners. As you listen, you want to hear more about the little gestures he gives in his relationships. Your heart flutters with every sweater given and flower sent in the morning. Every aspect that could blend well together does so and cultivates an infectious feel good experience for all listeners.

Nicky Youre is best known for his ultimate summer song “Sunroof” however there’s a lot more to discover with the young artist. Recently, Nicky wrapped up his first tour alongside Benson Boone, and I was beyond excited to see his name appear on the lineup of the world's biggest music festival in Milwaukee, Wisconsin this summer. Summerfest is an annual music festival, which celebrated its 55th anniversary this year. The festival has been branded as the “World's Largest Festival” by Guinness World Record since the late 90's. This year alone had over 10 stages, 600 performers, and over 600,000 people during the 9 days. Nicky saw himself in the middle of the festival during the Friday of the second weekend. He gave two performances that day. The first would be at Summerfest’s smallest stage as a free acoustic set for an intimate group of fans, and another as a ground stage headliner at the Generac stage. The American Family Insurance House is by far the smallest stage on the grounds. Barely big enough for room for an artist and their band, this stage first appeared a few years ago and has featured some of the biggest artists on the festival's lineup. These intimate performances are first come first serve with an unplugged acoustic set. It has been one of the main highlights of the festival in addition to headline performances. Although it was arguably the hottest day of the festival when Nicky came, the heat didn't slow him down. Nicky opened with a 2pm acoustic performance consisting of a few songs to bring this show time under half an hour. It was a very intimate performance where he connected with a small crowd around 50 people. His condensed setlist consisted of his most popular songs and a cover song. Starting with “Eyes On You”, Nicky came out with high energy to be followed by his latest release, a single called “Good Times Go'', while fans sang along even though it had only been out a few weeks prior. Nicky maintained strong stage presence during his short set while interacting with fans in the front and connecting with others in the back. He did a great job at capturing the audience's attention the whole time. With just a small band supporting him on stage, every person there could feel the heart and soul he poured into every lyric he sang. Even for a small crowd, it was obvious how much his music and his fans mean to him. During this short set (as he would go on to perform later in the evening) he Included a cover as well, a song that nearly everyone could sing along to, "Tongue Tied" by Grouplove. Before leaving the small stage, he made sure to do his hit single, "Sunroof". This was immediately picked up and recognized by the crowd from the melody right away. It was an incredible sight seeing everyone singing along as a fan, and I can only imagine how Nicky must have felt in the moment. Nicky gave the same incredible performance for an even larger crowd on one of the biggest stages at Summerfest later that same day for a longer set. He came on after a high energy performance by the Indie Pop artist BabyJake and right before Yung Gravy who would go on to end the night. Nicky even did another cover of another popular song, “Everybody Talks” by Neon Trees and his other songs that he didn’t perform earlier. Anyone watching nearby could tell that he gave it his all. Even from far away, Nicky created a fun atmosphere to all who came to see him. If you get the chance to see him perform in person don’t hesitate. Nicky has come a long way since releasing his first track a few years ago. Despite only a few releases to his name he’s already been making huge waves in the music industry. With millions of listeners and hundreds of millions of streams, he’s got a very promising career ahead of him. Many people have come to recognize him after the viral success of his single, and since then Nicky has been making himself known as more than just the “Sunroof guy”. I can’t wait to see him again sometime in the near future, and I have high expectations for his future in music. Nicky Youre is a 24 year old singer and songwriter from California. The pop artist has impressively reached over 15.4 million monthly listeners on Spotify and is fast approaching a billion streams collectively on the platform. Nicky is often recognized for his summer sounds, catchy melodies and relatable lyrics. The young artist is well on his way to becoming a more common household name with every new release. Nicky first started making music back in 2017, and would eventually release his first single, “Sex and Lemonade” in June of 2020. It was a year later when he would release his second single, "Sunroof" with artist dazy in December of 2021. This track alone has currently reached over 600 million streams. Following his trend of releases, in 2022, Nicky released his single “Never Go Wrong” with david hugo, gaining him another 18 million streams. Also in 2022, was when the collective of “Sunroof (Remixes)” made its presence. This EP is filled with renditions of his popular song including new versions with artists like Thomas Rhett, 24kGoldn, Loud Luxury, and Manuel Turizo. With even more steams and recognition, Nicky released the single, “Eyes On You” at the end of the year. Starting off 2023, the artist released his first single of the year, “Shut Me Up” in February.

Morgan Keller gives commentary on this lifestyle with her single, "Wasted." The track criticizes social media and influencer culture, showing how the artist is sick of the fake lives people pretend to live online.

Summer is a universal feeling. It’s warm air and impromptu weekends at the beach. It's no responsibilities and the feeling that you can do anything. Pair this with the return of a past love, and one would be practically over the moon hoping that summer never ends. Alan Walker and Zak Abel’s recent collaboration “Endless Summer” describes this very feeling. The two joined together to create a song of the summer, and have certainly done just that. Lyrics that truthfully tell a story matched with an electronic beat has listeners begging for another drop (and more hot summer days to dance to this song during). The song opens with an electric guitar riff and a quick beat drop into the first verse. The face paced nature of the song feels like summer itself, always on the move and always getting into new and fun experiences. The song moves into the chorus where the two sing about their euphoric feeling, stating, “No time for regret, no time for sleep, yeah / Not fucking leaving, when you're with me, yeah / I got that feeling again, like it's an endless summer”. The feeling they have with their love by their side is unlike any before, and they can’t help but hope that it lasts forever. Filled with dynamic beat drops and an EDM-esqe soundscape, Walker and Abel clearly know how to make a feel-good track. Alan Walker is a 25 year old Norwegian music producer. He has amassed over 32 million monthly Spotify listeners, and specializes in electric pop and bass, bringing together tracks that rival the beats in “Endless Summer”. His blowout song is a track released in 2015 titled “Faded”, who’s popularity truly kickstarted his career. Zak Abel is a 28 year old English singer-songwriter signed by Atlantic Records.

"Tornado" by Havanna Winter is a pop jam that uses Wizard of Oz themes to remind listeners that you don't have to let toxic people take you down the wrong path in your life. We are surrounded by manipulative people in this world, but sometimes they aren't always easy to spot. You may think someone has your best interest in mind, but their true intentions will show eventually. "Tornado" is Havanna's message to you, to stay true to yourself and be strong against people like this. A common misconception of what "somewhere over the rainbow" means is that it's about daring to dream and not losing hope. However, in "Tornado", Havanna uses the true meaning of what it is to be "somewhere over the rainbow" in her lyrics, You must be fucking high / To ever think that I'd / Be your lover over the rainbow; which actually means to live live in delusion and madness. On the topic of her new song, Havanna said, “This project is close to my heart. I think we all know or have come across people who are not genuine or have our best interest in mind sometime in our lives, and this song is made as a reminder not to let our fears and insecurities win, and to remember our own strength, because we can all get a little lost sometimes.” Comparing a past lover to the characters of the Wizard of Oz, Havanna sings these lyrics - You're just a tin man / Got a brain like a tin can /You're such a coward / Lions your superpower. She also compares him to the wizard himself, with the words, Turns out the wizards' just a fraud. Dressed as Dorothy with her sparkly red shoes and braids in the music video directed by Éli Sokhn, Havanna Winter takes us through a Wizard of Oz experience; both in the music and in the visuals. The song takes a hauntingly old-fashioned chord progression and makes it modern pop with it's production. With a sarcastic smile on her face throughout the music video, Havanna sings in her higher register for the majority of the song, adding to the dreamy and classic 1930's effect. Havanna Winter is a 17-year-old aspiring pop singer, actress and a viral TikTok influencer who was born in Norway but moved to California at the age of nine. With over 3 million followers on TikTok, Havanna has won over the hearts of our current generation. She released her debut single as an artist in 2022, titled "Rain Rain Go Away". Since then she's released 5 more singles, including "Tornado" and a Christmas song titled "Daddy's Kissing Santa Claus.' Other than "Tornado", Havanna released a song earlier this year called "Death Wish" which has a softer, acoustic ballad type of sound.
