Jessica Hernandez & The Deltas - Shadow Boy



Shadow Boy isn't one of those songs that sticks in your head because it is catchy, but because it's a story that resonates through lyrics and through the big vocals from which they are sung. Jessica Hernandez has a vintage jazz tone that borderlines old country western in some parts and modern soul in others. The moment the tremolo guitar begins, Shadow Boy becomes a little darker and all the more sexy and it doesn't stop there. With soft drums and smooth saxophone this song becomes a ballad bathed in a passion that can only be experienced when given a closed eyed listen.

Hope you catch it,

I Know Leopard - Daisy Eyes



I Know Leopard is a five piece indie/pop group from Sydney that is a blend of bands like the XX, Beach House, and San Cisco, only they have a particular way of pulling at heart strings with pretty vocals and honest lyrics. Daisy Eyes feels like it is one song made up of layered moments of musical genius. There are parts with big bass and ticking drums, and others of staccatoed strings of lyric answered with frosted ahhh's, but they mesh to create the dreamy chorus that holds it all together and makes you fall for this song.
