Born in Australia, Corrj loves experimenting with new sounds, breaking the mould by working on the edge of genres thanks to an upbringing that exposed him to Mozart, Fall Out Boy, John Mayer, and everything in between. “I want to create music that enhances your emotions, with songs for when the night is about to become something special; when you’ve got a drink in one hand and the other hand just wants to move with the vibe.” Corrj explains.

 

5) Medicine Boy by Natalie Shay was released on 24th

Natalie Shay is an indie pop artist hailing from North London. The multi award-winning musician now releases her new single ‘Medicine Boy’, presenting an indie-synth-pop sound which oozes passion. The track compares a dysfunctional relationship with a drug. Natalie explains, “The lyrics are written so that if I told you the whole song was about an addictive relationship, it would make sense. But if I also told you the whole song was about recreational drug use, every line would still make sense.”

Peppered generously with producer Alex Borwick’s impish wizardry, the piece is alive with percussive pulsing rhythms from pizzicato strings to foot stomps, sparkles of piano to banging hunks of metal… like a tapestry woven from nature’s chaotic fabric
