You may recall us singing the praises of French singer/songwriter and actor Stephanie Rodd earlier this year. She’d just unveiled her beautiful debut EP ‘Recovered‘, a record we described as “a journey through neo-soul, RnB, and jazz offerings in a kaleidoscope of sonic delight”. Having waited patiently to hear from the talented artist again, last […]

Venice Heath is a London-based four-piece that delivers an electrifying fusion of indie charm and psychedelic retro-pop. Their music oozes nostalgia and timeless energy and, after following them closely for over a year now, we at Mesmerized can confidently say they’ve become one of our favourite acts around.  Their brand new offering is a tune […]

‘Momento Mori’ is a little gem of an album that deserves your attention. Courtesy of Malta-based, Dutch-American singer/songwriter Chellcy Reitsma, the highly eclectic and multifaceted offering reveals a seriously gifted artist.  As part one of a double concept record, ‘Momento Mori’ translates from Latin into “Remember you must die,” a phrase reminding us of our […]

[Photo Credit: @matghisolfi] – Wait a minute, are Holda Sek and Caezar back already? Their previous collaborative effort ‘OVERSTAY’ feels like it came out yesterday, yet today marks the pair’s latest release, ‘WARY!’, an intriguingly melancholic, slow-burn offering drenched in hyper-pop and electronic energy. The listening experience is cathartically overwhelming, with Caezar’s nuanced and futuristic production imprint colliding […]

The keen reader might remember talented rapper Mason Moon from a feature we published earlier this year, praising ‘Spellbound Part One’ as “fierce, unique, and deeply captivating”. The foundational elements of Moon’s sonic universe were perfectly on display: from the icy, minimal beats to the obscure yet playful lyricism, passing through the many eerie textures […]

We at Mesmerized had the pleasure of reviewing Emily Ricks‘ previous two singles ‘Farewell to My Youth’ and ‘Call It Falling’ respectively. The Los Angeles-based pop phenomenon blew us away with her raw and emotive storytelling, and it’s clear we weren’t the only ones! Garnering over 32,000 Spotify plays on the former and over 150,000 […]

An artist who’s attracted to sonic quirks as much as the craft of songwriting, New York-based producer and indie experimentalist Michael Burke marks his return to the scene after a five-year musical hiatus with ‘Apophenia’.  Drenched in Daft Punk-esque auto-tuned vocals and distorted percussion work, Michael’s latest track perfectly showcases his ability to fuse pop […]

Jay Si Proof is a Portland-based outfit led by singer/songwriter Jeff Chilton, and their most recent offering ‘Love Bug Drug’ is a cosy and laidback little number that I can’t get out of my head!  Inspired by Theo Katzman (Vulfpeck) and Rachel Price (Lake Street Dive) to depart from their previous funk-infused sound, Jay Si […]

Metal fans rejoice! Three Sixes are back with an intense, dark and hard-hitting record. ‘Reject Control’ could be described as a punch in the face, a fierce and fast-paced anthem packed with musical charisma and lyrical doom. Stand-out features are the drumming – complex and relentlessly, performed by Blake Chadwick – and the vocals, with […]

‘The Egg’ is not just an avant-garde, experimental sonic exploration. It’s also a tribute – a yearning for primordial forces and natural powers. In a sense, it represents the cathartic energy experienced by Néfur when hiking the Icelandic glacier Ok, with sound artist Francesco Fabris. Crucially, Ok was the first glacier to melt on the […]

Announcing their return to the studio to record the upcoming album ‘Qualia’, Norwegian outfit Ambrosius are adamant in reminding us of their previous effort, ‘Pathways’. Released earlier this year, the record served as the group’s debut album, a slice of eclectic rock matter with a certain folk energy to it. ‘Anach Cuain’ is the strongest […]
