Jake McMullen – Falling

Jake Mcmullen

Imagine if Ben Howard was transported back to the 80’s in a time machine and you’d be pretty close to imagining what Jake McMullen sounds like.

‘Falling’ maybe a little more upbeat than his last track, ‘Giving Up’, but it still has Jake’s classic folk-inspired lyrics. The honesty found in Jake’s music is something that beautifully shrines through alongside his engaging vocals and retro synths.

It has been produced by MYZICA’s Micah Tawlks.

This is the third track off of his new album that’s set for release on 21 April.

Sounds like: Ben Howard, Foals, Blood Orange

Born Stranger – Cheating Love (Feat Caitlyn Scarlett)

Born Strangers

Nothing beats a beautiful electro-pop duet.

UK-based Born Stranger (aka Maddox-Jones and Raife Hacking) invited emerging vocalist, Caitlyn Scarlett, to join them in the studio. Just 15 minutes later, the verse and lyrics to ‘Cheating Love’ were created.

Caitlyn explains, “The phrase ‘cheating love’ can be perceived as infidelity, but the undertone I wanted to convey was that of cheating love the same way someone might cheat death, a close shave but ultimately avoided.”

The track is co-produced by Yoad Nevo (Sia, Pet Shop Boys, Goldfrapp).

Sounds like: Prinze George, Sia, The Wombats, Bastille, Major Lazer, Years & Years, M83, Foals, KAPTAN, The Brocks, Tears for Fears, Depeche Mode, Myzica
