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. Heâs 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 Tippyâs 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. Itâs a friendly-sounding song in that âTippycalâ 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.

single trackEderlezi – Run, Run, Run
Ederlezi – Run, Run, Run
Ederlezi consists of two artists who each have a busy career of their own as well. David Page a guitarist/bass player/singer and collaborator with people like Jonathan Jeremiah, Young Gun Silver Fox and Edwyn Collins. Hannah Nicholson worked with Ellie Goulding, Gary Barlow and Heather Small, and even performed as a backing singer and instrumentalist at Prince Williamâs wedding.
Together, theyâre a London-based duo, who live aboard their beloved Dutch barge Ederlezi. Cruising the river Thames, the boat is not only their home, but also the place where they write, produce and record the music thatâll eventually end up on their debut album. The vessel became the duoâs muse, and also gave them their stage name.
The band take their inspiration from many places. Think of influences like Scott Walker, Jackson Browne and Joni Mitchell, or the guitar-based rock ânâ roll of the â50s and the psychedelic â60s. Personally, I also hear Johnny Cash, and when I close my eyes I see spaghetti westerns and Quentin Tarantino movies.
Run, Run, Run is Ederleziâs debut single. Nicholson says about it: âThis song was written right at the start of the pandemic. We found ourselves unexpectedly in a suspended time away from our usual busy touring lives. From this out came the song, speaking of addiction, desire, temptation and the human conditionâ

single track
Harper Bloom – Sydney Road
If you need more cowbell, try Harper Bloomâs new single Sydney Road. Other prominent elements in this sunny song are the ukulele, a catchy chorus and honest lyrics. The track is a homage to the suburb of Brunswick in Melbourne, where the singer-songwriter used to live.
âSydney Road was written at a time when I was moving out of Brunswick in Melbourneâs 2020 lockdown and reminiscing on all the amusing experiences Iâd had on Sydney Road, making amazing memories with strangersâ, Bloom explains. âThe song is based around myself and a neighbour I had at the time. We are both lonely in different ways, and we are from completely different walks of life, but I reached out to her and we formed a unique and unlikely friendship which has become both incredibly valuable and rewarding.â
The video that comes with the single was shot on the first day out of the Melbourne lockdown in 2021. Filming took place on Sydney Road, obviously.

single track
Eyjaa – The Wrecking Crew
Donât say I didnât warn you the first time around. Following Eyjaaâs very promising debut single Donât Forget About Me, Brynja and Sara Sverrisdottir make sure you wonât.
The Icelandic-Danish sisters lived in multiple big cities around the world and speak 7 different languages. Also, theyâre multi-instrumentalists. On top of that, the girls are blessed with angelic voices. Combine that with the support of the worldâs largest record company and one might think: what could possibly go wrong?
The Wrecking Crew is only Eyjaaâs second ever single, but a great confirmation of their talent. An atmospheric pop song with touches of folk, it revolves around the emotions of loneliness, and the acceptance and beauty of feeling sad. As they say themselves: âGoing through life we all experience challenges that we tend to overthink or simply misunderstand within ourselves. The Wrecking Crew is about how you are never alone with your thoughts. Really, it can be just as beautiful to be sad as it can to be happy. Itâs just human emotions, and they are not unknown to any of us.â
