Artist: Kasador
Song: Talk About it
Why? Amazing union of pop and rock creating a truly mesmerizing and honest pop/rock beauty that is sure to click with the senses of all who listen. The underlying melody is pure rock and then they added a layer of synth hooks and dance tunes on top of it and “Talk about it” is a gem unlike anything you’ve heard. It blends the happy aura of pop with the relatable storytelling of rock creating a danceable drama piece (“…a song lamenting about losing someone through lack of communication…”).

Artist: Deaf Radio
Song: Anytime
Why? Ethereal, surreal and so mesmerizing are the melodies of Greek powerhouses Deaf Radio and their track “Anytime”. Just listen, just here the guitar slowly but surely set the stage for what’s to come with the assistance of the drums, the bass and it’s hypnotizing leader in the form of a voice so enchanting that it’s hard to believe this band is part of the indie scene and not taking over the world already.
