Blakeley – ‘Holiday Vinyl’
‘Holiday Vinyl’ from Brooklyn’s Blakeley is a languid love song about loss and longing sung while holding tightly to a bottle of Jack Daniels.

Ace Harper – ‘Neon Heart’
Ace Harper comes from a dance background and so feels there is a live performance aspect to everything she does.
