Bea Elmy Martin + Rod Coote
Bea Elmy Martin – “High”
From London, we have one of the most confident alt-pop voices we’ve heard all year: Bea Elmy Martin and her latest scorcher, “High.” Atop a kaleidoscope of synthy textures and digital rhythms, this one offers listeners a soothing, multi-layered vocal performance that promises to “treat you better” every time you give it a spin. This tune makes those late-night drives to nowhere make perfect sense and can be heard on Bea Elmy Martin’s new album, Under The Yew (Vol. 2).
Rod Coote – “side by side”
And for those of you who are more indie-folk inclined, we highly recommend the new tune from blog favorites Rod Coote and Sianon: “side by side.” One of our biggest weaknesses has always been intimate male-female harmonies, and there’s something so majestic happening here that we simply could not resist. Let the song’s cinematic acoustic foundation and heavenly vocals remind you that we are never alone, even in a world that has never felt so divided.
