[Audio] KLOË’s ‘Feel’

Eighteen year old Glaswegian singer KLOË has offered up her second slice of moody ElectroPop in the form of Feel. The track follows on from her critically acclaimed and much-hyped début track Grip and once again sees her teaming up with fellow Scot Prides’ Lewis Gardiner on production duties. Both track, Grip and Feel mark KLOË as one to watch in 2016 and 16. With confident débuts like this she’s bound to garner a lot of attention.

Her sophomore track is a moody and sumptuous SynthPop epic. R&B undertones dictate the track swing while Gardiner serves up a symphony of lush synths and bombastic stings. KLOË’s voice sounds older than her years and she delivers a passionate performance and a huge range. Pluming synth and grandiose, soulful, vocals; what more can you ask for?

[Video] Invader Girl’s ‘Stuck On Me’

Invader Girl has produced a gloriously quirky slicked of ElectroPop in the form of her new single Stuck On Me. It’s like a massive 80s GothPop epic fed through contemporary SynthPop and it’s pretty special.

Check out the drama fuelled video directed by Will McDowell; loaded with just as much bombast as the track.

Invader Girl’s Stuck On Me is released this week.

[Download] Jordan F reMixes Midnight Pool Party’s ‘Stay’

Aussie Indie-Popsters Midnight Pool Party’s current single Stay has received a massive makeover from the undisputed reigning champ of Australian SynthWave, Mr. Jordan F. It;s been a while since we’ve had anything from this groover, but he’s delivered a right old sunshine beast with this new reMix. Check it out below.

From the offset, this one is all about warm and dreamy synths that glide with ease over a buoyant bassline. This is probably the furthest away from his SynthWave roots that Jordan has reached so far. It is, in essence, a glorious Topical Disco jam with a twist of retro in the bass and lead synth departments. Find work from Mr. F here, blending his summertime jam with the originals vocals effortlessly, and definitely one you should be cracking open when the sun comes out.

[Audio] Arches’ ‘New Love’

Dancefloor powerhouse group Arches (Seba Vandevoorde A.K.A. Moonlight Matters and Jochen from Sound Of Stereo) have teamed up with R&B singer Karen Harding for their latest single. It’s released soon via Potion, The Magician’s record label, and follows on from late-2014’s There’s A Place. This storming slice of soulful House is called New Love.

Skippy Garage beats feed through this exuberant slab of contemporary HousePop. Revelling in the kind of deep, subby, bass you would normally associate with UK output, the Arches Duo deliver a warm summertime jam that pairs resounding piano with the big and booming low end. Harding’s huge vocal delivery, peppered with a Pop twang, keeps the energy of the track at a constant high. This one is a surefire summer hit.

[Audio] Vanbot’s ‘Seven’

The amazing Vanbot is back with another new track, which can only mean that the second album, Perfect Storm, is drawing closer. She’s one of our favourite Scandinavian synth stars and we’ve been holding on for the follow up to her self-titled 2011 début for ages. The new single is called Seven, which follows Trooper from earlier this year, both of which have us gagging to wrap our ears around the new full-length release. Check it out.

Blissful and booming, Seven is a near-perfect slice of ScaniPop. Washing over an resounding sub-heavy beat comes an symphony of piercing synths and droning tones to orchestrate for Vanbot’s heartfelt vocals. All elements of the best ice Scandinavian SynthPop, but Vanbot’s powerful, but times vulnerable, vocals warm things up a bit. Catchy, yet slightly left-field, this is how ElectroPop should be done.

♫ Vanbot – Seven

[Audio] A.N.D.Y.’s ‘Chemicals’

Yay! There’s finally a longer version of Belgian Housemeiser A.N.D.Y.’s new single on the ‘cloud. As you know we don’t use these minute–and-a-half snippets on electronic rumors, we don;t thin they have much value for our readers, so we’ve been gagging to post about this one since the tiny tiny clips went up last month. It’s called Chemicals and it features the vocal stylings of Vanya Taylor from All About She. Check it out.

Lush and warm House is what you’re treated to with Chemicals. Drawing from smooth 90s influences, A.N.D.Y. serves up a smokey slick of late-night dancefloor gold that melds Taylors well-rounded R&B vocals with enveloping organ stabs and pulsating bass. Things get interestingly key changey and a bit ravey in the bridge, which makes for an unexpected change of mood before the track resumes it’s slinky groove.
