Every week, we’re sent dozens if not hundreds of promotional emails from agents, PR firms, and hopeful artists containing the latest releases from around the world. From the biggest superstars to the ambitious self-starters we comb through it all to highlight to you what we’ve been digging, the tunes that caught our eye, and the recommended selections that make the notifications worth it. This is New Music From The Inbox!
Artist: Audrey Mika
Song: “Strangers”
Album/EP: Single
A scrumptious, subtle bass riff that plows into a driving powerhouse amongst Audrey Mika’s nonchalant vocals and light-touch production is a recipe for success in “Strangers”. Calculated arrangements that use its range of instruments in moderation make Mika’s pop tune all the more cohesive – no part steps too far forward, making the whole package melt-on-your-mouth digestible.

Artist: Sophie Powers and DE’WAYNE
Song: “Greed”
Album/EP: Single
Dark and foreboding backing tracks swell to a pounding beat amongst monotonous, sneering sing-chanting in the post-modern, cyberpunkish gothic collaboration “Greed” from Sophie Powers and DE’WAYNE. This is a drive-fast song, a foot-stomping walk-like-a-badass feeling song, a walk-in-the-club-wearing-sunglasses song.
Watch/Listen:
Artist: FEARANCY
Song: “Voices”
Album/EP: Dæmonium
There’s nothing like a good chugging guitar riff and a guttural howl or two to pry the lid off a Pandoran box of metal sludge – much like what you’ll finding in FEARANCY’s “Voices”! Unabating melodic axes keep from getting too busy as double kicks wail away and spike the song, and your heart’s, BPM.
Watch/Listen:
Artist: Cmagic5
Song: “Dancing On My Heart”
Album/EP: Single
A huge, hooky chorus chock full of disco guitars and soaring vocals steal the show in “Dancing On My Heart”. Cmagic5 projects a powerful and clean sound, keeping tight instrumentation in lock with her pop songwriting prowess.
