Smooth and colored in synth is the collaboration between Room8 & The Sound of Arrows on the intense pop ballad “Just You & I”. Powerful vocals and inspiring harmonies in the latest So Below and their very dance-able track “Ruin”.

Honey-sweet but with a confident edge is the new trend thanks to Ralph and “Busy Man“, but also Dominique with “If I Could Go Back” and Vessels ft. Anna Of The North and their track “Had A Love”.

The power and strength of the voice pushes aside the harmonic boundaries with new singers as Örhn and her “Bang Bang” track, but also the experimental vocal electronic pop of Austrian-Brooklyn singer Milán on “Meaning” or with the more dark glowing and mystical pop by L.A. star Ninth Child with “Say What You Mean”. Newcomer Tepu is also bringing a fresh touch by showing his “darkside!”

Let the dust after the quake set and dive underneath with the inner-strengthening harmonies like the play- & soulful alt-pop of Penguin’s Lonely Heart on “The Day I Forgot To Sing” or with So Below who goes “Hard”. That’s the spirit!

[su_dropcap style=”simple”]I[/su_dropcap] wake inside the mess, these voices in my head”… Guess we weren’t the only one having shots yesterday evening… Joke aside, I wanted to introduce you to the New Zealander Madeline North also known as So Below, a goth-pop singer based in Los Angeles. Lost in the fog of Soundcloud, in a few months she reached more than 135.OOO listens on 3 songs, but we’re bringing all your attention to her captivating new single “Far”.

I don’t remember exactly how I ended up on her Soundcloud account, but I know I’ve been following her for quite a long time. I’ve always been interested by her mysterious and dark single covers and by the character she reflects in those pictures. For example, she seems lost in the middle of nowhere on “Drift” cover, then she lies asleep on the same road in “Sleep”… And now with “Luna” and “Far”, she managed to get to the sea and is almost drowning in it.

As a “goth-pop” artist, So Below has both sides of it. There’s this disturbing and haunting atmosphere omnipresent in each songs’ melody as you were trapped in the woods during a cold night, but at the same time her delicate voice has something reassuring that will help you float during the whole song. “Far” could make you think of a good pop’ish Crystal Castle or Chvrches with a darker spirit.

So Below‘s debut EP is now out and includes every songs she released so far, you can now also listen to “Drift”, “Luna” and my favorite “Sleep”.
