Forget spring cleaning, we’re here to mark the shifting of seasons with new music. You need those dynamic tunes to soundtrack all that warm possibility coming your way. So, let these tunes put some spring in your step, or ease you into the new change. Here are 6 artists to soundtrack your spring.
1. Suzy Jones
First things first, get Suzy Jones on the speaker. Her voice is smooth and bright, like there’s a sunray just bursting through her choruses. You can feel it in her Sofar performance of “Final Piece”, the way her voice seems to form a little rainbow over that groovy guitar hook.
2. Jayza
You just can’t help but feel completely inspired and emboldened by Jayza’s jaw-dropping, earth-shaking voice. If you’re looking to conquer something in the spring, just hit play on this performance of the artist singing a Nina Simone cover, and crank it to full volume.
3. G Luné
And on that same note of feeling empowered—maybe there are things you’re looking to leave in the winter, perhaps even relationships that haven’t served you. Well, G Luné’s got a tune for that, a breezy little number about blocking the number of an ex that didn’t deserve the artist’s time.
4. Tim Woods
Tim Woods brings both energy and ease to his songs, a perfect pairing with that feeling of spring creeping in. We’d suggest you start with his song “Here We Go Again”, a performance where even through the screen you can feel the pulse shift in the room, see smiles on people’s faces as they start to feel entranced. There’s even a singalong chorus (feel free to join in from home).
5. Nicka
After about a second of hearing Nicka sing, it feels pretty darn apparent that this Sofia-based artist is bound for big stages. The movement of this song, “Ако не съм за теб” along with Nicka’s pristine pop vocals instantly grips you. Trust us, you gotta watch.
6. Caisha Sprout
Ok, so maybe this list has become dominated by haunting voices. Ya know what? We’re here for it. That’s the kind of big energy we’re looking to carry us into spring. So, last on the list is Caisha Sprout, the Melbourne, Australia based singer who just instantly hooked us with this simple yet entrancing performance. Put this one on as you’re noticing the buds starting to open on the trees, taking in the new spring ahead.
