Tickling excitement takes hold of you whilst diving into the unknown, bracing yourself to find new love, inevitably, intense, new music love, to be precisely, among these eight carefully selected genre-defying gems.
Stock-On-Trent indie rockers Camens have leveled up recently with their playfully gritty track 'Violent Video Games' – which, in fact, is as thrillingly entertaining and tirelessly energetic as its title suggests. Upbeat rhythms, rousing and edgy instrumentals, charmingly jaunty vocals, there's lots to be keen on here, and if that's not what gets you hooked immediately, it will be either the song's dashing narrative or its retro-bright visual match. Game Over, guys, try not to be absorbed in this appealingly addictive aural adventure, I dare you. It ain't easy.

Drinks and drama is what Lewis Bootle serves with 'Sorry' and though he has a lot of explaining to do in the song, he's got nothing to feel sorry about when raising his voice this time (a smoothly melodious and soulfully flirty one, just to be clear); accompanied by ambient and sparse melodies, darling harmonies and smartly rhythmic cymbal accents an endearingly cozy mood is created, perfect for the irresistibly debonair narrative to work (its charm), ideal for it to appeal to its already favourable audience.

There is pure, achingly mellow beauty to behold when the invitingly ethereal and emotionally yearning melodies of Megan Dixon Wood's single 'Drown' rise. Gracefully languorous vocals haunt you in the most pleasingly poignant fashion, imagery and sound breathe a dreamfully dark and enigmatically enchanting flair which sows both scenic and sonic seeds for a mysteriously surging, suspensefully stirring soundscape to unfold, dangerously spellbinding and closing on a delicate, dramatically driven creative as well as compositional crescendo.

From acoustic days to anthemic ways, Jack Woodward has found his sound. And it's a boisterous one beaming with piercing melodic pizazz and pep as new outing 'Look Looking Around' displays strikingly clear: the eager muso's voice abounds in ardently vivifying swagger, is engagingly melodious and easy on the ear still. Coupled with infectious instrumental entities full of spirit, fast-paced and valiantly jubilant, this vividly vehement track demands to be on repeat. So why not have it?

Captivating melodic momentum and firm, unfeigned feelings collide in a spectacular still comfortably low-key manner as the blissfully brisk tonal aura of Douglas Joshua's wistful ballad 'Stray' enthralls its easily entranced listeners; easily entranced due to enticingly nimble acoustic guitar play and swift, symphonious percussions at work, laying a satisfying foundation for warmly longing harmonies and fervently sensitive vocal verve to move wholeheartedly.
