New Music: March Albums & EPs

boygenius-the record //

Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers, and Lucy Dacus start their debut album as boygenius with two sonically polarizing tracks. “Without You Without Them” is a minimalistic harmonic vocal intro showcasing the three women’s raw voices. The album, entitled the record, leads into “$20” with boisterous guitars and an emotional climbing crescendo. As listeners weave through the group’s three artistic styles combined into one entity, they revel in the push and pull of rock-driven tunes and stripped-back hushed desires. Other highlights of the record include the guitar-driven “Satanist” opening with Baker’s edgy vocals followed by “We’re In Love,” which holds a nod to Taylor Swift’s “This Love.” Every song on the twelve-track LP coalesces as perfectly together as the voices of the supergroup. Rolling Stone, DIY, NME, and Dork all boast 5-star reviews for the 2023 debut from boygenius.

Daisy Jones & The Six-AURORA //

Daisy Jones & The Six is an interview-style novel by Taylor Jenkins Reid. The music-centered story, influenced partly by Fleetwood Mac, can also be compared to the film Almost Famous for music lovers. Daisy Jones & The Six finally comes to life with the Amazon Prime Video series starring Riley Keough and Sam Clafin. As the series unfolds, the songs on its soundtrack, AURORA, build emotional credibility and exposure. While this album may never touch the 70s classics, AURORA becomes a modern-day nostalgic masterpiece of its own. Songs like “More Fun to Miss,” “Look At Us Now,” and “The River” combine elements of longing, feminine influence, timeless 70s-sounding guitars, and band member banter. If this album hasn’t struck a chord with you, watch the series to see how each song unfolds and comes to life.

Fall Out Boy-So Much (For) Stardust //

Fall Out Boy returns with their eighth studio album, So Much (For) Stardust. The thirteen-track album may not emulate the angst of “A Little Less Sixteen Candles…” à la From Under the Cork Tree, but the Chicagoan band cohesively and succinctly generates a modern millennial gem. Leading with two stadium-charged singles led fans to believe this album was a return to form of sorts to earlier FOB days. So Much (For) Stardust does not disappoint, combining elements from their sound over the past two decades. The band delivers with dance-worthy anthems, witty lyrics, and vibrant pop-rock tracks. Anyone who strayed from the Fall Out Boy path seems lured back under their spell for “Heaven, Iowa,” “Fake Out,” and “What A Time To Be Alive.”

Taali-taali //

Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Taali soars high with her self-titled record this month. Taali, a veteran songsmith, took upon the challenge of crafting an album with the idea of removing autobiographical anecdotes. The album leads off with an instrumental strings piece, “Did We Die?” straight into “When the Dust Settles,” a minimal piano and vocal track that builds midway with a sense of urgency. Taali’s artistry shines through on the poppier floaty number “Anywhere” as she uses her voice to let the notes take flight. “Somewhere over Kansas” swoons listeners with stacked vocals, while “It Comes for You” adds an edgier side to the album with a poignant keyboard melody. Lyrically, the album explores “grief, wanderlust, self-discovery, and empowerment.” Taali exudes artistic flair and cohesiveness. This album is one for the decades.

Violaine-Rose Rouge-EP //

Chanson française artist Violaine discloses a lyrical journey on her recent Rose Rouge EP. “Toute Petite” is a soft, heartfelt ballad about dealing with negative self-dialogue. Her poetic French lines roll off the tongue on “Juillet” with lyrics like “de nos errances, ivresses dense, je n’ai pas de regret…même si mon cœur n’est pas étanche, je veux rêver…” The second half of the EP picks up with “Oxygène,” a poppy confession of love, and the seductive closing track, “La Partie.” “La Partie” combines infectious beats with Violaine’s sultry vocals, leading to a satisfying instrumental fadeout.

New Music: March Discoveries

Annael “J’accuse” //

French pop singer Annael caught us off guard with his self-aware single “J’accuse.” On “J’accuse,” Annael blends genres with elements of dance and pop and a stylistic aura similar to the likes of Stromae. The diction and elocution of this song are beautifully executed. “J’accuse” creates a sonic loop of transcending sounds that echo a summer music festival. The track digs deeper, however, on self-criticism as Annael shares on Instagram, “Chaque personne à un côté sombre qu’elle doit apprivoiser. C’est un challenge au quotidien, de vivre avec ses défauts et d’y faire face*.”
*Every person has a dark side that they have to tame. It’s an everyday challenge to live with your faults and to face them.

Blak Emoji “Last Night Lost” //

Electro-R&B artist and producer Blak Emoji hypnotizes fans with the remastered single “Last Night Lost.” The vibrating electro beats meshed with luscious falsetto vocals immediately grasp and enthrall listeners. Seductive lyrics creep into your head and resonate with the catchy beats and chorus. “Last Night Lost” is a sweet addition to any going out playlist.

Caroline Larke “Horses” //

Caroline Larke introduces us to her single “Horses,” and we fell for every detail in this song. “Horses” is a stunner on the first listen, with vocals soaring over open space. The track’s lyricism, delivery, and musical progression resound with perfect execution. The folk-style acoustic song paints a picture of serenity and loyalty. Stylistic decisions on vocal elocution echo Billie Eilish in “When the Party’s Over.” “Horses” invites you to channel your innner zen and surrender to your full potential.

Christine and the Queens “To be honest” //

Christine and the Queens announced “To be honest” as the first single off his upcoming album, PARANOIA, ANGELS, TRUE LOVE. “To be honest” is yet another masterful melange of sounds surrounded by the striking vocals of Christine and the Queens. The ever-present combination of mixing French and English lyrics and creating transcending sounds prevails in this lead single. The three-part LP is due out on June 9th, 2023.

Eremos “Ghost On the River” //

In mid-March, Athens, Georgia, rock band Eremos released the mesmerizing single “Ghost On the River.” The delivery on this track, from the vocals to the lyrics and the emotion behind it, speaks volumes to listeners. Written with minimal production and drawing inspiration from blues, indie folk, rock, and country, Eremos hits every note with “Ghost On the River.” “Ghost On the River” is a timeless song that will have you belting out the words right along with it. The alluring and unique vocals only strengthen as the track continues. A captivating guitar arrangement, emotion-evoking opening vocals, memorable singalong chorus, and a properly placed guitar solo make this song perpetually superb.

Lucky Iris “23” //

Lucky Iris is an alt-pop duo from Leeds, U.K. After a period of writing and developing their sound, the band is gearing up to release their new EP, ‘maybe i’m too much.’ “23” is the first serotonin-boosting single from the upcoming summer EP. The production on “23” takes listeners on a sonic nostalgia journey; it’s truly the “frisson” type experience that many music fans often search for in a song. From what we’ve heard, “23” represents the beginning of a new creative era for the young duo.

Sophia Patsalides “Beautiful Ghost” //

Female Cypriot artist Sophia Patsalides, a new music discovery on Groover, landed on our March playlist with “Beautiful Ghost.” The single has a captivating intro, and the vocals are phenominal. The buildup in this song and the recurring loop from the opening easily make it a breathtaking earworm. Sophia’s pop and R&B style on “Beautiful Ghost” solidifies our interest in the new emerging artist.


March was a massive month for new releases, so check out the full “New Music Emerging Now: March Moods” playlists below.

New Music Friday: Flames of Fall

// “Harlot” by FABER //-Rock

FABER brings the heat and the vengeance on her latest single, “Harlot.” The single is bold and full of fury, yet comes out on top with the ‘take that’ type of comeback. The London rocker spices up her game with crystal-clear lyrics detailing an awry relationship. “Harlot” showcases FABER’s ability to draw her audience in and make them genuinely feel her story.

// “Central London” by Jodie Mellor //-Pop

Self-proclaimed “professional bedroom singer” Jodie Mellor gushes about love on her latest single, “Central London.” The Bristol-based singer-songwriter conveys her message of overcoming personal anxieties to show her love for her partner. Mellor sings, “I would drive through central London for you,” in a reassuring proclamation of her feelings. “Central London” may expose Mellor’s anxieties, but it also highlights her vocal and lyrical talents. The song paints the perfect picture of a selfless type of love.

// “All My Love” by Noah Kahan //-Folk

New England folk singer-songwriter Noah Kahan releases his third studio album today. “All My Love” is the third track on Stick Season, following his two lyrically flawless singles. Keeping the folky, fall feeling of longing and isolation, Kahan writes better than ever: “I’m sayin’ too much, but you know how it gets out here. No winter coat could keep out all the cold of your atmosphere.” “All My Love” is a respectful, mature break-up song for the season of change.

// “Necromancing” by Justin Kerecz //-Rock

We are very much here for Justin Kerecz’s latest chilling single, “Necromancing,” a Tom Petty-inspired track for the spooky season. Petty-esque guitars and a chorus of “oooo oooo” add just enough heartland sounds to this autumn tune. Also drawing influences from Butch Walker, Ghost, and Warren Zevon, “Necromancing” is the perfect eerie addition to your Halloween playlist.

// “At the Pool” by Lioba //-Pop

Germany-native artist Lioba released her latest single, “At the Pool,” defining her new alternative pop sound. “At the Pool” explores a melancholic Lorde-type concept of transforming bubblegum pop into intoxicating synthy waves. Lioba demonstrates magnetic allure on this track, weaving through airy vocals to a deeper range on the outro.

New Music Friday:  Glimpse of Falll

New Music Friday: Glimpse of Fall Highlights

// “Kiss Me” by Dermot Kennedy //-Singer-songwriter/Pop

Dermot Kennedy’s fourth single from upcoming album Sonder, “Kiss Me,” resonates a similar poppy sound to hit “Something to Someone.” “So, I let this night in my lungs, you’re all that I want to breathe,” revels Kennedy in eloquent artistry. In true Dermot fashion, the songwriter captures the feeling of fleeting memories flashing by like billboards on a highway. Sonder has a new release date of November 4th, pre-order the album here.

// “Better” by Billy Raffoul //-Singer-songwriter/Alternative

Canadian singer-songwriter Billy Raffoul drops “Better,” his first solo single in the last two years, this week. Raffoul has one of the most identifiable voices, one you may recognize from music featured on This Is Us. “Better” follows his debut album International Hotel in 2020. The single is an acoustic charmer with endearing lyrics, “I wanna make you smile, wanna put you back together, you’ve been hurt before, I wanna love you better.”

// “I Should Be a Bird” by Nina Nesbitt //-Pop

Scottish pop singer-songwriter Nina Nesbitt released her long-awaited third album, Älskar (“love” in Swedish), today. Nesbitt’s vocals shine on soothing downside track, “I Should Be a Bird.” At 28, Nina embraces vulnerability and carrying the weight of a relationship on “I Should Be a Bird.” Her more mature sound and writing defines the back-and-forth battle between giving it all and letting it go. Check out the rest of Älskar and listen to the album here.

// “Fatherhood” by Dwain Brown //-Hip-hop/Rap

Londoner Dwain Brown is a poet and spoken word rap artist. Brown’s newest single, “Fatherhood,” delves into the struggles of parenthood with a positive hopeful spin. His words reverb alluringly and draw the listener in closely to reveal his story. Dwain Brown paints a picture of his childhood to growing into his role of a father in a beautifully written, insatiably catchy single.

// “Old Friends Like Lost Teeth” by The Wonder Years //-Rock

Pennsylvania pop-punk band The Wonder Years are set to release their SEVENTH album, The Hum Goes On Forever September 22nd. TWY bring the heat on single “Old Friends Like Lost Teeth,” combining trademark pop-punk guitars and angsty lyrics. The chorus rings high, “But oh, I wanna build, wanna build you back from memory, something that can stay, that can stay here when you go.” The title line, “Old Friends Like Lost Teeth,” gets heavier then fades to a hushed vocal on the final pre-chorus.

// “How Do I Say Goodbye” by Dean Lewis //-Singer-songwriter

Dean Lewis always has the recipe for a good cry. “How Do I Say Goodbye” is a heartfelt tearjerker written about Lewis’s father being diagnosed with cancer. The artist’s story has a happy ending as his father is now in remission, but the song resonates with fans that may be facing the same journey. “How Do I Say Goodbye” puts words to a situation that often feels too emotional to vocalize.

TRACKS

// “19” by Bonnie Kemplay //-Alternative pop

Dirty Hit’s newest sign-on, Bonnie Kemplay, debuts her record deal with single “19” this week. “19” enthralls the listener with pure vocals and concentrated instrumentals, leading to a heavier surround-sound from the second verse. When the young singer reassures “this feeling’s gonna pass,” the track comes to a dramatic sonic height until the end realigns with the start. “19” is the perfect depiction of a song that goes through a wave of emotions.

// “Better Days” by The Lucky //-Pop rock

Recently rebranded pop rock trio of L.A., The Lucky, drop their third single “Better Days” today. The Lucky paired promotion for the song with throwback pictures from their childhood days. “Better Days” is described as the juxtaposition between the happiest moments of your childhood and the struggle of wondering if you will ever feel that happiness again. The single has just the right amount of self-deprecation contrasted by the recollection of better times to make it resonate with just about everyone.

// “Guts” by Andorra //-Rock

Philly-native rock band Andorra delivered unexpected rock bop, “Guts,” this past month. “Guts,” the second single from their forthcoming album Boogie Night Blues has a cute little ‘shoobie doobie bop, bop’ chorus. Andorra cites having fun and letting the songwriting come naturally as inspiration for the track. Backtracked by contagiously upbeat music and mostly positive cheerleader-type lyrics, “Guts” has the perfect contrast of rock vocals paired with dance-inducing instrumentals. The band describes “Guts” as “rock n roll, boogie music for footloose line dances and John Travolta’s twist from Pulp Fiction.”

// “Loving on Hope” by Hertha Elama ft. The Facade & Slaper’King //-R&B/Singer-songwriter

Hertha Elama is an emerging artist from Namibia, Africa. She premiers her new single “Loving on Hope,” today along with a beautiful music video. Hertha is breaking the scene and perfecting her contemporary indie-pop style music, hoping to reach fans from all over the world. “Loving on Hope” showcases Hertha’s mesmerizing voice, similar to the likes of R&B artist, H.E.R. We think this song would fit in perfectly among R&B playlists worldwide.

// “Weeds” by Beach Bunny //-Indie-rock

Chicago’s Indie-rock band Beach Bunny, drop their sophomore album Emotional Creature today. “Weeds” debuted on Wednesday alongside its music video counterpart. An internal monologue pep talk feminine anthem, “Weeds” encourages amour-propre. “You can’t blossom if you keep growing gardens out of weeds,” reminds listeners to love themselves before placing their problems on someone else. We are eager to spin the rest of Emotional Creature and discover more intricacies inside the mind of Lili Trifilio.

// “Panic Attacks” by Yellow Days //-Alternative

Solo Manchester, UK artist Yellow Days drops a new EP entitled Apple Pie today. The artist leaves a rather heavy caption alongside the EP announcement, “A STORY OF PLEASURE & INDULGENCE TALKING OF SEX, EMOTIONAL DEPENDANCE, MENTAL HEALTH & SUBSTANCE ABUSE.” “Panic Attacks” catches our eye from the title and does not fall short in capturing the paralyzing feeling of overwhelming anxiety. Alongside mind-bending, yet Zenlike instrumentals and production, Yellow Days digs deep on the feeling of mental health spiraling in an uncontrollable way.

We are fully prepared for this album to take us on a nostalgic 90s flashback of luscious female vocals.
