PREMIERE: Rebecca Lou – ‘Under The Moon’

On International Women’s Day, what better way to celebrate than sharing some awesome new music from an awesome young woman…?

Having been writing songs since 2015, Danish artist Rebecca Lou has fast been building a reputation across Denmark for her high-octane live shows, including a support slot with rockers Velvet Volume on tour last year. And now, following her riotous debut ‘Bitch U Look Good’, she’s back with a brand new single.

A step away from the raucous, angst-driven force of her previous offering (but no less powerful), ‘Under The Moon’ is inspired by poems that Rebecca wrote when she was just sixteen, and aims to capture her “old emo heartaches”. Filled with catchy indie-pop hooks and melancholic lyrical storytelling, the track builds to an anthemic chorus with the soaring, impassioned splendour of Rebecca’s vocals. Oozing a whirring, emotion-strewn power, it’s an instant earworm, showcasing this artist’s admirable versatility as a songwriter.

‘Under The Moon’ is out tomorrow, 9th March, via We Are Suburban.

Video Premiere: MALMØ – ‘We Come From The Stars’

Following the success of her last single ‘You’, Danish artist Maria Malmø and her band – aka MALMØ – have now shared another captivating offering from their upcoming debut album.

The title track from the album, ‘We Come From The Stars’ is an exquisite, twinkling slice of alt-pop, showcasing everything there is to love about MALMØ. Flowing with Maria’s soulful, rich vocals, delicate, shimmering melodies and a sweeping ethereal splendour, it’s an utterly dreamy creation, oozing a resplendent, other-worldly magic.

Of the inspiration behind the track, Maria explains:

“We’re nature all the way through – although we often forget it because of all the layers and things we surround ourselves with. It gives me great peace and a sense of purpose to think that we actually consist of stardust: Nitrogen in our brains, chalk in our bones, iron in our veins, and carbon in our souls.”

Watch the new video for ‘We Come From The Stars’ here:

We Come From The Stars, the debut album from MALMØ, is out 4th May via Integrity Records.
