Georgie Neilsen is a singer-songwriter from Brisbane, Australia. Her new single “The Last Time I Felt Better” is her first release in a while. This beautiful indie-pop song carries influences from folk-rock. Georgie’s graceful vocals and fervent lyrics meet the groove-laden instrumentation. “‘Last Time I Felt Better’ is about the emotions experienced when two people suddenly appear in each other’s lives and instantly fall into a euphoric romance fueled by an addiction to that feeling,” she says, continuing: “When the relationship quickly hits a fork in the road, there is a realisation that this flame might burn out and it consumes you with the desire to make that feeling last forever.”

“Teddy Bears” is the newest single from Panamanian pop artist Yael Danon. Produced by Joel Iglesias, it was released together with a nice, colourful video. The track is, in fact, taken from the young singer’s upcoming Diary Girl EP. “‘Teddy Bears’ is basically that good and SMART friend who’s warning you about this new guy you’re just starting to get to know (which she dated not – so – long ago), and which you’re already crushing on,” explians Yael. “The song highlights all the cute stupid sh*t you’re falling for, instead of looking at the big picture… he’s just another mistake. Just like your friend got hurt from him in the past, you will too. I probably need to listen to my own advice…lol.“

The LP arrived paired with the music video for the title-track. “On My Sleeve” is a bouncy and melodic trap track that showcases Noiir’s ability deliver bars and smooth hooks. About the whole album, the artist remarked, “I really wanted this project to speak to who I was as an artist. Not just zero in on one aspect of my artistry, I was very deliberate in how I approached every record. I believe my gift is my ability to write to anything but the challenge was doing that making something that was seamless. Something that from start to finish made absolutely sense but listened to individually record by record, left their own distinct impression. It was difficult yet fulfilling to push myself in so many directions but I’m glad I took on the challenge as my growth as an artist is evident throughout this body work.“
