Koen Buyse (Zornik) strikes again with a great reworked version of a dutch hit (translated into English)! This song will set the roof on fire! It's the second time in a row het gets the title of single of the week! Enjoy!


KOEN BUYSE (ZORNIK) - DANCE WITHOUT ME

Koen Buyse covers and transforms this time Hoe Het Danst a huge hit from Marco Borsato, Armin Van Buuren and Davina Michelle. He did it as a participant of the very cool TV series called Liefde Voor Muziek (the love for music). The piano and the beats are gone and replaced by guitars and real drums. Dance Without Me can set the roof on fire! 

ANNA OF THE NORTH - METEORITE (FT. GUS DAPPERTON)

Anna of the North returns with a new single collaborating with US singer songwriter Gus Dapperton on an infectious alternative pop track Meteorite. The pair’s vocals combine over a chorus hook with bassline groove and a sharp pop beat. The single marks the first track of a yet TBA Anna of the North album which will be released in October 2022. Quote from Anna: “Meteorite is a song that was originally written by Gus. He asked if I wanted to put a verse on it and collaborate which I of course wanted to do - I’m a big fan of him. I love the song and I’m so happy with how it came out. Our voices work really well together. It’s a song about distance and how energy always connects us.

THE WAEVE - SOMETHING PRETTY

Here comes The WAEVE: as 2020 was limping its way to the finish line, two acquaintances met and exchanged missives over that strange Christmas. Graham Coxon - iconic songwriter, guitarist and vocalist in Blur, plus the originator of acclaimed soundtracks including The End of the F**king World - and Rose Elinor Dougall - revered solo artist, Mark Ronson collaborator and founder of The Pipettes - embarked on some tentative explorations into songwriting.  They release an introductory self-produced standalone track Something Pretty. It is the first listen from the band, released to coincide with two sold out performances at London’s The Lexington.


MYKKI BLANCO - YOUR LOVE WAS A GIFT (FT. DIANA GORDON)

Mykki Blanco is an artist revered for their fearless ability to evolve, placing their creative exploration at the forefront of their career. Today, they share the second song from their forthcoming album, new single Your Love Was a Gift featuring the striking vocals of Diana Gordon and rising country star Sam Buck.  Following recent highlight Family Ties, a collaboration with R.E.M. frontman Micheal Stipe, Mykki’s new single sees them once again exemplifying the extent of their artistic evolution. A song of two halves, Your Love Was a Gift  is produced by Falty DL (Drew Lustman). “Your Love Was a Gift” is for me” mentions Mykki. “If not the most honest, it's the most beautiful song I’ve ever written.”
