Alternative, Pop | Martin Weston Releases “Loose Knit Heart”
Posted by VMan on August 22, 2021
Martin Weston isn’t your everyday singer-songwriter. The up-and-coming London based musician possesses a potent motion in his storytelling with folk music running through his veins from a young age. His latest offering “Loose Knit Heart” has elements of acousitc, folk, and pop blended together which reminded me a lot of early 2000’s music in this space like Jack Johnson or Ben Harper. This track few on me a ton and well worth it. Martin explains the meaning behind “Loose Knit Heart’’ below. Stream the song above now.
“I wrote Loose Knit Heart after fully realising how brilliant a thing the perfectly crafted pop song is. Loose Knit Heart is my attempt at something along those lines, trying to add catchy hooks and melodies everywhere I could.
It’s an acoustic singer-songwriter, collaborating with an experimental electronic music producer called Tom Arniel. I came along with an acoustic pop song and he added a really textural groove by recording pots and pans in his kitchen. Making it was so fun.”
Alternative | Bonnie Lola Drops Tasty New Single
Posted by VMan on November 25, 2020
Bonnie Lola is an alternative rock band from Indianapolis that began as the solo project of guitarist Grady Neff with Zack Philipps on drums and Robbie Jacobs on bass, who decided to spin off his own project, blending elements of rock, indie and psychedelia. Musically, Bonnie Lola sits at the cross section of spacey melodies and gritty rock and roll. The band’s new single “Vanilla Ice Cream” is as tasty as it sounds. Get familiar with these guys, they’ve got a great sound going for them! Speaking about the new single, Grady said, “The song is about a fleeting addiction that hooks you on the first taste. You might forget over time or move on, but once you’ve had it, it will remain a memory forever.”

2014 was a huge year for Chicago born rapper and FNT regular Mayo and it appears 2015 is going to be no different.

In his latest collab, Mayo teamed up with Australian DJ/Producer Akouo and Indie artist Monsoonsiren. In this extremely unique collab the trio successfully creates a sound that truly brings aspects of their respected genres to life.
Abstract Hip-Hop | Appleby – Drinkin’
Posted by dshaq on January 22, 2015
Listen up and listen good. Appleby has been grabbing my attention with each of his few but powerful releases. Today we welcome Him and his brand new single Drinkin’ to FNT. He brings a new and different sound with each new song, and Drinkin’ is no different. Bee actually had a quick something to say about the song:
“The concept and act of drinking is a newly formed habit of mine. Introduced to me last year through an adventurous relationship that ended in mutual silence. Drinkin’ gives insight but reserves the details for a future release.”
What impresses me so much with Appleby and his sound is the artistry behind it. Whether it is the hooks, verses, or production, everything builds together in fantastic harmony. Coupled with Appleby’s fantastic lyricism, his sound is something that will be around to stay. Get to know Appleby and his sound. Also Bee decided to give out another track “Scars in Waiting” which also will help you get to know Appleby. Enjoy and look out for more to come.

Another big tune that made it high to the regular charts (this time in a vocal version with KStewart). And there’s more going on with Koala, as it gets a true Michael Calfan treatment here. The French producer takes the track to deeper house territory, making the hooks and groove even more infectious. Hit in the making! Make sure to pick up the remix on Beatport below.
