My picks from 87 songs submitted this week

From 84 submissions

Photograph, single by Natalie Gelman from forthcoming album Moth To The Flame. So good we will play this on the radio show this Friday. Pre-order  at blueelan.com/store/natalie-gelman. Stream the three  singles from the album out now on all platforms.

All There Is, single by Bob Malone from the new album Good People.  Of the 11 great songs, “All There Is” keeps ringing in my ears with a sophisticated arrangement, moving beat and soaring keyboard that he is famous for – not to mention his urgent lyrics and vocals.  Stream/download the whole album on all major platforms. bobmalone.com

If I’m In Love With You, single from TOW (Yang Fan and Liu Ge) two pioneers of the Beijing underground music scene. Mysterious, melodic, mesmerizing, this single from their new same-name album If I’m In Love With You will grab your gut and your soul. This duet creates a musical world that hypnotizes you to hit Replay.  Stream/download on Spotify.

In Pink, single  from album Wink and video by Chai with Mndsgn. At first glance, it seems like fluff punk – and it is – but te Japanese quartet’s song  is so good and so much fun that this earworm will keep you moving and humming.  Purchase at megamart.subpop.com; stream on Spotify.

I Do, single from the album  by Janita. Janita is a genius, pure and simple. I Do” – and the entire album Here Be Dragons is slick, sophisticated, emotional, raw, seductive.  Put on your headphones and close your eyes.  Stream/download  on Spotify and all major platforms.  Check out at ecrmusicgroup.com/

Rider , single and video by Mereba.  A love song from her forthcoming EP,  AZEB, (out Wednesday, May 26th.) hat that seems from another dimension, but the video is here and now and hauntingly beautiful.  Let her crystal pure voice hook you and fall in love.  Stream/download at Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, iTunes

BONUS. Don’t Wreck a Good Thing, forthcoming single by Binx. We will let you know when it is available for pre-order. In the meantime  Follow her  on Spotify,  TikTok and all socials.
