Jen Fodor (feat. Nadia Vaeh) – ‘Front Row’ 

For the past ten years Michigan native Jen Fodor has worked in nearly every part of the entertainment business, from working alongside directors like Spike Jonze to creating her own podcast and being an incredible filmmaker in her own right. Jen’s latest film follows the incredible life of Howard Mordoh, aka The Dancing Man of LA. Those who’ve been to shows in LA may well remember him as the white-haired man as he spins and turns to the music. Jen’s latest project, ‘Front Row’, is dedicated to Howard, as well as every other music lover who’s missing live music – and features the incredible vocals of Nadia Vaeh.

Tod Lippy – ‘Ambitions’

Tod Lippy found time between production of his award winning arts journal, ‘Esopus’, and other projects, to hone his talents in songwriting and home-recording. He’d studied classical guitar for more than a decade, and as each edition of ‘Esopus’ came with a CD of music he’d commissioned, it was probably about time he started making some of his own. Out now is his new single, ‘Ambitions’, which comes from his latest album, ‘Yearbook’, set for release on June 25.

Dovley – ‘Be About It’

As well as being a club burner, ‘Be About It’ also serves as an homage to the great house-infused pop songs of the 90s. It’s an enthusiastic call to the dance floor, and a promise of parties to come. It encourages listeners to put aside excuses, and realise our goals. ‘Be About It’ is the epitome of spring, rebirth, renewed energy, and rediscovered hope. Above all, the song is a note-to-self. Indeed, for Dovley, it’s time to make a move from being a well-regarded house and dance singer to a genre-transcending artist who delivers messages that resonate for listeners of all kinds.

Que 9 feat Nani Goins – ‘4 Life’

Up-and-coming rapper Que 9 is a born storyteller, and he has been doing it with his music since 2016. The Detroit native, who was born Quarrion Philips, has never been afraid to put himself out there and tell the world what he feels. He started at the age of four, playing instruments in his basement, which evolved into making and creating ringtones. Since then, Que has been filled with the urge to create the best music possible while still being relatable and honest with his listeners.

Pennan Brae – ‘El Camino’

Pennan Brae’s latest single, ‘El Camino’, comes from ‘Lit’ and is accompanied by a lyric video directed by his long-time collaborator, Rob Fitzgerald. An homage to the classic Chevrolet vehicle, which was introduced as a coupe back in 1959, and last produced in 1987 as a standard two door station wagon. Understandably, the song is flavoured with the 80s and those long hot summers we all seem to remember (did they actually exist?). We see rock-n-roller Brae ready for life to start picking up pace again after being left by his love. Fitzgerald interleaves vibrant patterns over the vintage vehicle, and we are pulled along and get lost in the liberating journey.
