album trackGang Of Youths – Forbearance
Gang Of Youths – Forbearance
After the success of their 2017 albumย Go Farther In Lightness, Sydney band Gang Of Youths relocated to London. They just put out their biggest statement yet,ย their new long-player Angel In Realtime. Essentially a concept album, it explores the death of front man David Le’aupepe’s father in 2018, and the grief, guilt and acceptance surrounding it.
The record takes the five-pieceโs already present ambition to a next level. Some may find the bandโs stadium-sized pop/rock bombastic. Personally, Iโd rather describe it with words like anthemic, epic and cinematic, thanks to the inclusion of strings, urgent drums and layers of guitar.
My favourite album track Forbearance is a good example. It has the atmosphere of U2โs With Or Without You, but with drum and bass like drum patterns.

album trackTippy Balady – Soul Eater
Tippy Balady – Soul Eater
Hailing from Dallas, Tippy Balady is currently studying popular music at the University of South Carolina. She may be a solo artist, but her music is the result of a rather permanent collaboration with producer Jason Burt. Heโs been helping her shape her musical vision since 2018. Together, they created the entirety of Tippy’s discography and plan on continuing to work together in the future.
Following the release of ten of Tippyโs tracks, she just put out her first EP The Dallas Sessions. It contains her two 2021 singles German Boy and Family Dinners, and two brand-new songs. Soul Eater is my favourite of that pair. Itโs a friendly-sounding song in that โTippycalโ style: neo-soul with a bedroom pop vibe. Her strumming on the ukulele adds a folky element though, while the instrument also adds a latin kind of flavour.

album trackPeter Stone – Cold
Peter Stone – Cold
Pietro Carallo is an Italian singer-songwriter, musician and music producer. He started playing the piano at the age of 8, while adding singing and song-writing to his palette at 15. In 2020, he released his first single under the Peter Stone moniker.
On Christmas Eve, his debut EP Unlabeled came out. It contains his recent single Lead Me, as well as four new songs. The track Cold is a highlight in my ears. Its opening notes bring the intro of Duran Duranโs Save A Prayer to mind. Elsewhere, the โ80s are omni-present as well. Check the The Weeknd-like drum fills, the propulsive synths or the guitar solo, for instance. Despite those influences however (or perhaps because of them), the song fits the current musical climate like a glove.
All in all: a track that deserves to push Peter Stoneโs career firmly in the right direction.
