Want It With You by Lauren Vahdani
In this mid-tempo jam, country pop storyteller Lauren Vahdani openly and honestly shares her emotions of wanting to be with someone special and create her happy ending with them. This song’s relatable, fun and friendly message can easily fit into everyone’s day to day.
HFAV
Ato-Mik’s new single is the song you want to have playing during a friend’s game night. “Meant For You” gives you all the ‘head banging’ vibes you’ve been looking for in this dance-y yet longing ballad. An easy listen with a melody that will get stuck in your head, the duo sings about the idea of someone in their life being so special that they themselves were made for them.
Van Krogh
This do-it-themselves artist has found their place in the indie-pop world perfectly. With catchy lyrics and spot on perfectly stacked harmonies, “Don’t Wanna Be Saved” is definitely my top song from their full length project, Voyage. This Lo-fi influenced jam is perfect to add to your playlist for driving home after a long day.
This one is for the sad song fans. With sonic similarities to the legendary Bon Iver, Van Krogh shares his love story through an honest and soulful piano ballad on “Birds”. The track also boasts a beautifully cinematic hidden sound design. If you haven’t heard this song in a movie yet, we think you will soon.
This country soul knows how to make a country song right. A fun, sexy jam that you should definitely throw into your up-and-coming country artists playlist. With rock influenced guitars, Dustin tells the all-too-common, yet somehow still relatable story of falling for the cute girl at the bar- and hoping he’ll impress her enough to take a chance on him.
