WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

BEAUZ released their remix of Anja Kotar’s ‘Kids’ last week and upon hearing it for the first time, we were immediately hooked. It’s fun, it’s catchy, and it packs an edgy flair that keeps things interesting from start to finish. But it’s not just the production that came out amazing, Anja Kotar’s infectiously catchy style seems to win us over every time. It’s amazing how natural this remix feels and if we were being completely honest, we wouldn’t mind hearing an original one day between these two… it’s that good.

WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

"I was so excited to connect with BEAUZ for this remix as I’ve been a fan of their music for quite some time now! It was really eye opening to give the song into someone else’s hands and let them present it with their own vision and style. I absolutely love the end product: I like to say it’s 'Kids', but if you played it on a beach at sunset." — Anja Kotar

Superfruit, a song by Maude Latour on Spotify

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

May 02, 2019 by Gems Secrets in Pop, Electro Pop

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. For us, it has such a care-free type of attitude that we think everyone could use a little dose of ‘Superfruit’ this morning. 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

spend some time alone inside my head, a song by Philip Brooks on Spotify

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

May 01, 2019 by Gems Secrets in Bedroom Pop, Indie, Indie Pop

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

Emily Rowed releases video for 'Watercolors' (Live)

April 29, 2019 by Gems Secrets in Bedroom Pop, Live, Acoustic

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Emily Rowed has become a favorite of the Gems & Secrets platform. Her singles ‘Pinball’ and ‘Watercolors’ immediately grabbed our attention and her creative spark is something that keeps us always coming back for more.

The lyrical depth behind her music is not only poetic but its rich in emotion. Her talents go far beyond just her creative writing though… her voice, her presence, and of course her vision are all pieces of a puzzle that are slowly, but surely, coming together in the most exciting way.

“Watercolors is about an effortless, flowing love that came out of nowhere,” says Rowed. “It was hypnotic - everything turned into sweet purples and vintage film.”

So naturally, when we received the stripped down version of her latest work of art, we were absolutely thrilled. ‘Watercolors’ (Live) highlights the deep imagery behind her lyrics and the pure talent of her voice and writing style. Give it a listen and fall in love with Emily Rowed once and for all and enjoy!

I said I would never ever movie to LA

Now I am chasing every paper plane
