Eugene – Arlo Parks
Arlo Parks is a singer-songwriter from London. In her words she spent most of school feeling like that black kid who couldn’t dance for shit, listening to too much emo music and crushing on some girl in her Spanish class. Her songs are confessional and tender, mainly inspired by Portishead and Earl Sweatshirt. Listen to “Eugene” from her new full length “Collapsed In Sunbeams”.
Unchained – Sôra
At the crossroads between electronica and R&B, Sôra is a contemporary young singer who must be followed closely. Her distinctive, chilled yet powerful voice could be found somewhere between Birmingham districts and Parisian clubs: where urban meets up with pop culture. Listen to Unchained from her newly released full length “Long Life To Phil”.
