78-year-old American singer/songwriter and highly respected producer

weeks ago featuring this heavyhearted beauty, called Waiting For You.

Mellow and compassionate romanticism at its candlelight best.

Norwegian songsmith Oliver Hohlbrugger and sensuous voice
Frøkedal will make your melt heart with this melancholic pearl,
titled Black Canvas.

Hohlbrugger: “It’s about that someone you’ll never be with and that you allow to remain
inside you as a perfect unspoiled thing, yet still you measure and hold your real relationship up against it. It’s a dream, an illusion, an unfair fantasy. Nothing and therefore able to be perfect.”

A yearning and gripping reverie for the midnight hours. Think murder ballad
duo Nick Cave/Kylie Minogue, but also legendary 60s duo’s Nancy Sinatra/Lee
Hazlewood and Jane Birkin/Serge Gainsbourg.

Time Alone is another glamourous musing by Berlin-based songstress Kat Koan
and her befriended collaborator Freddie Dickson on guitar. It’s a whispering, sexy,
and revealing story about a secret love.

So you’re dimming down the light I should be leaving now I guess
But then, when you touch me right It’s such a beautiful mess
Should be calling it a night It’s better if we don’t
but then you kiss me where my husband wont
Let go it’s alright let go it’s alright

After being part for 17 years of the duo The Harpoonist & The Axe Murderer,
Canadian songsmith Shawn Hall goes his own way as The Harpoonist.

His debut solo LP, baptized ‘Did We Come Here To Dance‘ comes out this
summer, featuring Canadian blues-rock legend, Big Sugar’s Gordie Johnson.

Taster Good People reveals, for all who haven’t heard (like me) of Hall, the unique voice he’s blessed with. The song is a pondering blues jam – did we come here to dance or to die? – spiced with some of The Harpoonist‘s retro harmonica play and a warm-hearted organ.
