My musically gifted friend, Donna Dior, on SoundCloud, YouTube, and other social media, released an excellent remix of a song she composed and performed last year, titled Like The Sun. She plans to include it on her forthcoming album, possibly as the opening track. It's awesome! Give it a play!

Susanna Hoffs performed a live cover of Hazy Shade of Winter during a 2022 tribute to Paul Simon. Cool stuff!

I'm enjoying this live performance of Blooms of Oblivion by the enchanting and mysterious Emma Ruth Rundle, performed live and recorded at the Kyttaro Live Club in Athens, Greece. Awesome!

In an effort to discover new music, I found Marissa Nadler. She is somewhat similar in style to Emma Ruth Rundle, whom I really like. Marissa performed her song For My Crimes live in the KEXP studio in Seattle. I like her style and this song, and I intend to hear more of her music.

Emily Jane White's song Nightmares on Repeat has a haunting, dark, ethereal, and distinctive sound that I enjoyed.

Emily Jane White's song Metamorphosis has a futuristic, dark, and unique vibe that I enjoyed. Its steady snare rhythm gives it a bit of a military-march feel.

Marissa Nadler performed her song Strangers live in the studio on KEXP in Seattle. She has a very pleasing voice, style, and overall sound.

Strangers

Saffron is the lead vocalist of the band Republica. She brought a lot of style and energy to their music in the 90s. They had a high-energy 1996/97 hit with Ready to Go. The song is often heard on beaches during the summer when volleyball games, swimming, and sun-filled days are the norm. ☀️😎

The track reached No. 56 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US, No. 7 on Billboard's US Alternative Airplay chart, and No. 13 on the UK Singles Chart.
