No artist wants to be put in a box. A rare few, try as they might, simply cannot be put in a box. In fact, there should be a reward for whoever manages to find one for Devin Coogan (aka CHILD), whose blended sonic delivery of indie-electronic, neo-soul, with a touch of industrial rock paints a not-unrealistic scenario of The Weeknd and Trent Reznor soundtracking Christopher Nolan films.

The 23-year-old from Chicago’s south side is as gritty and stubborn as her roots might suggest. Her thoughtful blend of commercial-ready, groove-oriented, indie-alt pop reflects an existential mind who’s not used to thinking inside boxes. And yet, her tongue-in-cheek songwriting makes her delightfully relatable. Tedious & Brief, the indie alt-pop artist whose real name is Jamie Jacobsen, is releasing her newest single, “Not That Deep.” On “Not That Deep,” Jacobsen does go deep…into a break-up story that’s not even her own.

In an unintentional effort to steer clear of any genre “boxes,” JUICYPEAR’s latest effort “Just Begun” settles into a folkier, 70s radio experience; melding a warm ’n’ breezy California coastline groove with campfire-ready acoustic instrumentation and the duo’s dreamy, sun-kissed harmonies.

Husband-wife duo JUICYPEAR, consisting of Jacob and Jasmine Mayeda, returns with new single Keep Your Love On. Inspired by disco music, they create a sound that’s familiar, yet fresh. Soulful vocals rise over a crisp instrumental, packed with funky guitar riffs and an unstoppable energy. JUICYPEAR is specialized in making good tunes. I think the lyrics are relatable. “Being married is not always an easy task,” says Jasmine, reflecting on the inspiration behind the new single…

SoCal married duo JUICYPEAR specialize in nu-disco-flavored electropop—the kind of stuff that makes you just feel better. Their latest jam “Keep Your Love On” is the perfect kind of pick-me-up song—the lovebirds sing about the need for open and honest communication within the context of a relationship. It’s done so over bassy, reverb-drenched synths and guitar plunks…With just enough mystery to ward off that sunshine-soaked, happy-go-lucky vibe. We think “Love” has some omni-appeal potential.

“Being married is not always an easy task,” says Jasmine, reflecting on the inspiration behind the new single. “You may have to stretch in ways you never thought you would and talk about emotions you never thought you had. But throughout the process of being in this relationship with each other, you start to see your love growing for one another as you ‘use your words’ to communicate and grow together. Keeping your love on for one another as you give each other space to grow and learn and be.”
