Maude Latour's 'Superfruit' is exactly what you need this morning 🍓🥝

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Well, we have a real treat for you this morning. Hailing from New York City, singer/songwriter Maude Latour released ‘Superfruit’ just last week. A buzzing upbeat-pop song with an edgy flair and an incredibly catchy writing style.

Not only did we enjoy the unique production behind Maude’s music, but overall, the track possesses a number of creative qualities that not only demand your attention but will have you coming back for more.

Don’t forget to connect with the artist online to stay up to date on any coming releases and enjoy!

WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

“This song came from a feeling, and I think the song feels exactly like that feeling. It's partially about being sick of small talk, admitting how lonely I (and everyone feels all the time despite being constantly surrounded by people), but still feeling wonderful. It's about a crush, it's about summer. It's about the feeling of pop rocks and orange juice, a frozen dream of driving down a high way in a car with my ponytail blowing in the wind. It's about realizing bad guys are overrated and being afraid of death— but it's all a wonderful feeling: the fact all of this can be true and it can still be summer time. We are so complex, happiness is so special. Superfruit. Yes. I know what it means for me, you can find out what it means to you.” — Maude Latour

Philip Brooks releases dreamy indie pop single 'spend some time alone inside my head'

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

We’re super excited about this new release from London based artist Philip Brooks. For fans of indie-pop, bedroom-pop, or dream-pop, Philip Brooks brings an infectiously catchy and lovable sound to his music. The songwriting is brilliantly written, easy to digest, and incredibly fun. Right now we’re enjoying pretty much everything Philip has to offer, from his music, to his branding, and even the art direction behind the entire project. Give it a spin for yourself to see what all the hype is about and discover your new favorite song. Enjoy!

WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

“This song sums up my struggle with mental health. Not only does getting better need a lot of personal effort that I've been running away from and denying myself in the past, it's often confronted with lack of sympathy by those that don't experience mental issues themselves. I believe many people feel tired of their problems being trivialized – just like me. So I'm trying to open up the dialogue and help people obtain better understanding of what it's like to go through what many people endure on a daily basis. 'It will get better' phrases won't help, but empathy will, and more mindfulness will go a long way.”  — Philip Brooks
