This week, Deer Du Bois brings metamorphosis in pop: precious cocoons are busted and fresh new music flies out.

Discover a bunch of new artists this week like 21y old London singer Jaymur with his bitter-sweet electronic love-ballad “Breathe”. Hanne Hukkelberg‘s alien pop touch reminds us of M.I.A. on her aptly named new single “The Whip”.

A happy return this spring is the latest track by UK singer Sapling in the alt-pop infused “Slumber”. But we won’t keep our emotions cropped up, so unleash the fireflies with Danny L Harle and his unstoppable “1UL”. Lastly, we finish this pop injection with the infectious and quirky “Delicious” by our fav singer Gourmet.
