Dotan
Dotan is a self taught singer songwriter from Amsterdam. He’s been knocking around for the last few years, performing solo, after playing in a covers band for years. ‘Shadow Wind’ is a gorgeous building track that leaps into one of the catchiest new tracks around. Pop fact – He is also fluent in Hebrew *shruggy emoji face* (post updated with video)

These boys are from New Jersey. Formed in 2010, they put out their first album by themselves. Earlier this year, they released a short album called ‘Cardinal’ which features this track. And includes my favourite line “I don’t know what I’m afraid of –
but I’m afraid one day it’ll all fall away.” GOT ME IN THE FEELS.

I’ve never done this before. I like to post music from people who have tracks out. But i listened to this girl’s demos recently and I was blown away. None of it I can post or play you. And i’m sorry about that. But here’s a cover she did 4 years ago. She’s an Irish country inspired musician, who’s landed a major deal in the UK with Warners. The phrase “One To Watch” was basically invented for her.
