Today I’m thrilled to bring everyone a cool cover of a Judy Carter classic, by an artist known as Wallette, for “Listen to the Music.” On this re-worked version of the classic 1983 single, Wallette quickly showcases why she’s one of the brightest young stars in today’s music scene. Produced by veteran hitmaker Damien Quintard, Wallette shared her experiences of working with him by stating, “Working with Damien and his whole team was nothing short of magical. He’s so in tune with every inch of the space it made collaborating effortless and so much fun. It was a truly heartwarming and inspiring journey. I’m so grateful for the amazing team and the freedom the studio gave us to experiment and create without limits. Safe to say we all had a really good time! Everything about the experience reflected what Rabanne is all about. Art, freedom, and staying true to who you are. It’s changed my life and I’ve never been more ready for what’s to come next.” If you’re enjoying the new single, please consider supporting Wallette here.

Today I’m so excited to bring everyone an early listen to art rock/post-punk artist, Luke MacRoberts, and his new LP called Escapism. The record officially releases tomorrow, and is perfect for fans of Radiohead, paired with the crisp songwriting sensibilities of Elliott Smith. Luke shared, “This record is about the artist’s struggle — about being an outsider, about determination and hard-headedness. It’s about wanting contradictory things in life: comfort vs. excitement, stability vs. recklessness, and always wanting to be where you are not, both literally and metaphorically. It’s the most concise record I’ve made. I’m thrilled to finally put it out and feel a great weight lifted in letting it go. Hopefully it can offer some comfort or inspiration to anyone who might listen to it and relate.” If you’re enjoying the album, please consider supporting Luke MacRoberts here.
