										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After the release of his debut track &#8220;Your Side,&#8221; Hertfordshire&#8217;s native <strong><em>Petrie</strong></em> released his second single &#8220;To Swim&#8221; via <em>Good Groove Records</em>.</p>
<p align="justify">Creating a natural bridge between sweet pop with deep electronic sounds, the artist is leaving us with a taste of perfection. Opening with some basic vocals and a synth line, the track jumps into a bass-driven place where it is almost impossible not to dance. The song is simple, yet full of details, efficient as any pop songs. Inspired by <em>James Blake</em> and <em>Jamie XX</em>, <em>Petrie</em> is graving his name in the alt-pop landscape.</p>
<p><iframe width="100%" height="450" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/294054333&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_comments=true&amp;show_user=true&amp;show_reposts=false&amp;visual=true"></iframe></p>
<p align="justify">Speaking on the song, the artist explained:</p>
<p>[su_quote]</p>
<p align="justify">&#8220;To Swim&#8221; is both a series of observations on hedonism and a cautionary tale with an unnerving description of comfort obsessed youth. </p>
<p>[/su_quote]</p>
<p align="justify">His raw lyrics, adventurous electronic vibes, we can tell you for sure that we will following <em>Petrie</em>&#8216;s career from very close. His debut EP is set to be released on 2017 and for now you follow him on <u><a href="http://www.facebook.com/petriesound/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Facebook</a></u>, <u><a href="https://soundcloud.com/petriesound" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Soundcloud</a></u>, <u><a href="http://www.twitter.com/petriesound" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Twitter</a></u> and <u><a href="http://www.instagram.com/petriesound" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Instagram</a></u>.

					<description><![CDATA[Almost three months ago, Dutch-based artist iET unveiled her 12-track album &#8220;Clarity,&#8221; after the release of her psychedelic &#8220;So Unreal.&#8221;]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Almost three months ago, Dutch-based artist <em><strong>iET</strong></em> unveiled her 12-track album &#8220;Clarity,&#8221; after the release of her psychedelic &#8220;So Unreal.&#8221; We have the pleasure to premiere the video for her track &#8220;Resonate&#8221; where she expresses  her feelings through choreography.</p>
<p align="justify">Her album &#8220;Clarity,&#8221; released on September 2, was created with vintage instruments she found in her possession thanks to her family. A guitar, a trumpet, a double bass and a 1930&#8217;s piano, that you can hear all over the album, specially in &#8220;Resonate.&#8221; Recorded in her own studio, with vintages microphones, <em>iET</em> shares her special love for a old way of doing music, giving to it a special touch of warmth.</p>
<p align="justify">The video is based on a live session when &#8220;Clarity&#8221; was released. About the track and the video, the artist told us:</p>
<p>[su_quote]</p>
<p align="justify">&#8220;Resonate&#8221; is about how were you come from influences you in either a good or a bad way but eventually you have to take charge of your own life and take responsibility for yourself, even though you strongly feel the influence and legacy of others. It represents the struggle that comes with it. <em>Yoko Ono Haveman</em>, the beautiful dancer in this video, represents the visual interpretation of this state of mind and heart for me perfectly. The video is directed and choreographed by my friend and collaborator <em>Davide Bellotta</em>. When we performed &#8220;Resonate&#8221; live in the show I just knew that I wanted to share this moment with more people and we decided to make an official  video for it. </p>
<p>[/su_quote]<br />
[su_youtube url=&#8221;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnGycafqup0&#038;feature=youtu.be&#8221;]</p>
<p align="justify">And about her album, <em>iET</em> explained:</p>
<p>[su_quote]</p>
<p align="justify">&#8220;Clarity&#8221; is about the search for your true self. As we grow up we learn to build walls around ourselves, wear masks, hide what we feel and therefor who we truly are, what we long for and what we dream of. &#8220;Clarity&#8221; is about breaking away these safe walls, accepting and embracing your roots and legacy, letting go of the past and the awareness that you are only truly unique in your most purest form. It is the moment of Clarity that you feel what really matters to you. Family, tradition and love. Taking that step into the open, revealing yourself and learning to share your true feelings.</p>
<p>[/su_quote]</p>
<p align="justify">You can follow <em>iET</em> on <u><a href="https://exit.sc/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fpages%2FiET%2F192948941537%3Fref%3Dshare" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Facebook</a></u>, <u><a href="https://exit.sc/?url=http%3A%2F%2Finstagram.com%2Fietmusic" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Instagram</a></u> and <u><a href="https://soundcloud.com/iet" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Soundcloud</a></u>.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Singer/songwriter <strong><em>Henrietta</strong></em> shared soulful new track &#8220;May Be Rest,&#8221; following the release of her latest song &#8220;Real&#8221; a few months ago. To all the lovers of <em><u><a href="https://highclouds.org/tag/nao">Nao</a></u></em> and <em><u><a href="https://highclouds.org/tag/james-blake">James Blake</a></u></em>, this is your place!</p>
<p align="justify">Based in London, <em>Henrietta</em> is leaning towards a more R&#038;B/Soul/electronic route with this new track trying for people to relate more to her music. Her writing is sincere and straight-forward while the production is smooth, reminding us some tracks of <em>Sade</em>.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" width="100%" height="450" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/290339507&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_comments=true&amp;show_user=true&amp;show_reposts=false&amp;visual=true"></iframe></p>
<p align="justify">About the track, <em>Henrietta</em> told us over an email:</p>
<p>[su_quote]</p>
<p align="justify">To be honest, the track is a bit cheesy as it&#8217;s me basically declaring my admiration and love for someone special to me, through this song. I didn&#8217;t want to write a conventional pop song with a structured layout and a hook line. I just wanted to write how I honestly felt at the time about a situation I was in, and I feel like all music should come from honest and genuine feelings which I&#8217;m trying to emulate as an artist now. Which I guess lead to the makings of &#8220;May you Rest&#8221; I want people to relate to the track and hopefully feel something from it, that&#8217;s all I want to do as a singer/songwriter</p>
<p>[/su_quote]</p>
<p align="justify">You can follow <em>Henrietta</em> over <u><a href="https://www.facebook.com/henriettaanu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Facebook</a></u>, <u><a href="https://twitter.com/Henrietta_UK" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Twitter</a></u> and <u><a href="http://soundcloud.com/henrietta_uk" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Soundcloud</a></u>.</p>

They were one of our Newcomers of the Week in November with their song &#8220;Emotional Heat&#8221;.

<p align="justify">
Can you feel those smoky and edgy vibrating vocals with this electronic-psychedelic melody that create a soulful aura during the whole song? It will make you feel like you&#8217;re floating in the middle of nowhere in space, moving all around the galaxy. Where you only hear the song resonating.</p>
