5 Releases We Loved This Month
June 9th - Reneé Rapp “Snow Angel”
Rising star Reneé Rapp has made her mark on the charts with her single “Snow Angel”. With over 5.2 million streams on Spotify, Rapp’s soul searching sound has found a place in all of her fans' hearts. The Sex Lives of College Girls TV personality has hard-launched her artistic talents as an actress. Yet, her journey as a recording artist is just beginning! Her voice is what resonates so deeply with her fanbase and the curation of community her music creates. The album is naturally titled after the sonically driven single with a release date this upcoming August.
June 12th, Suzanna Son featured on “Family”
HBO’s Series The Idol is easily one of the most talked about shows this summer. And say what you will about it but, the talented Suzanna Son easily stole the show in my book. Starring as struggling singer Chloe, her abilities to captivate the audience are unmatched. The piano scene alone is enough to solidify this girl is going places. Listen to “Family” off The Idol soundtrack here.
June 30th - Jorja Smith “Little Things x Gypsy Woman (L BEATS MASHUP)”
Jorja Smith provided all the summer energy with the latest remix of her track “Little Things”. I discovered Jorja Smith back in 2018 & I always keep my eyes peeled for what she’s working on next. Her newly released track features sampling of the Crystal Waters’ classic “Gypsy Woman (She’s Homeless)”. This melody infused with Smith’s laid-back lyrics make a perfect fit. Fairly certain you’ll be hearing this jam at a daytime rooftop all summer long!
June 30th - Donna Missal Revel
Hailing from New Jersey, Donna Missal has brought all her East Coast energy into her new record Revel. Released on June 30th, some of our team’s favorites include Heaven Here and Flicker. The independently produced album features 10 original songs. My personal favorite “God Complex” features a music video showcasing the dopest group of dancers. The choreography is on point with the melodic movement and synthy rhythm. The track takes you on… such a trip. Oh and it was also assistant mastered by WIP’s finest, Tess Greenham! Be sure to check this record out.
July 14 - Mahalia IRL
Mahalia aka the queen of Indie R&B. The doubled English singer songwriter released her third LP ‘IRL’ earlier this week. A song off the album that stuck out to me in particular is titled “In My Bag”. Mahalia's upbeat and fiery spirit makes her music so easy to tap into. This song specifically rounds out her growth and keeps her energy consistently as she aspires for bigger and better. Big ups for the girl!
