The emergence of King Charles is making all kinds of noise across the blogosphere, and his latest single “Love Lust,” an ode to relationships and advice, has put him on our radar as an artist to keep an eye out for while the new year rolls in. A fun tune at most, peep the visuals and the hair above.

Sahra Motalebi has resurfaced (literally) on our radar and in timely fashion. She first caught our attention with the dark and haunting “Secrets,” which still spins in our rotation from time to time. Motalebi once again gives us a blissful tune “Migrators” from her latest “Tender Mortal Means.” There’s enough mysteriousness going on in this almost five minute track to conjure up quite a few spirits, if that’s your thing.

Earlier this month John Forté headed to Joe’s Pub in NYC and put on a very intimate performance for his fans. The above video tracks his journey to Joes Pub and shows a bit of his performance. Forté has always been a musician who I thought was extremely talented and underrated. Hopefully this time around he gets the ‘mainstream’ recognition I think he deserves.
