It’s an homage to all of those people who get up, brush themselves off, and keep on trying. “Edging” is a flurry of alt-rock goodness with its energetic rhythms, punchy drums, and guitars, and soul-searching, upbeat lyrics. The vocals feature something unique as both members of First Frontier share vocal duties, which adds an intriguing layer to the song. “Edging” is a blazing, jarring alt-rock song with elements reminding (maybe) some listeners of the B-52’s.

“One By One” by Natalie Clark

“Walkman Girl” by DipA
Travel back to the 80s with “Walkman Girl” by DipA.The song was influenced by synthpop and funk pieces of the 80s, but also the underground “Demostyle” genre from the 90s.

It is a funky synthpop track with lots of throwback in the synth riffs. It is totally rad!
“Just Go Alone” by Qu!et
US alt-rock artist Qu!et releases a mixture of electro and jarring rock with “Just Go Alone”. It is an emotional piece but with soothing elements. The emotional element is found in the jarring guitar, especially in the chorus. The soothing element is found in the melodic vocals and the electro instrumentation. Listeners should listen for the lyrics as they feature poignant emotions that shouldn’t be missed.
“Hide N Sneak” by Sunstone
UK Retro Soul artist Sunstone hits the sweet spot with their latest single “Hide N Sneak”. The song plays on the narrative on a boyfriend who is cheating on a best friend. Sweet R&B licks are sprinkled all over from the synth backing to the slick guitar riffs. But it is Sunstone’s soulful vocals that makes this song so irrestible. The vocals are filled with a diverse range of textures and colors that makes “Hide N Sneak” a groovy tune to listen to.
