The Grand Mess - “Think Of Me”

Canadian born, Brooklyn based singer songwriter, The Grand Mess releases his new single “Think Of Me”. A brooding song with plaintive lyrics that go alongside a music video where you can feel that suffocating induced anxiety of not being able to help someone and the lack of closeness. According to The Grand Mess, “With this song and video, I wanted to explore the difficulty in helping someone out of a depressive state, especially when you are in the same cold, dark place. It explores how no matter what is said or done, the only thing that you can do is just be there, which has been a challenge this past year and a half.” From the beginning, to the very last seconds of the song, the listener is able to feel the passion in his deep, honey like vocals and understand the words he’s saying to a T. 

Dunebug - “Lie To Me”

Manchester-based artist Dunebug presents her brand new single “Lie to Me”. A beautifully tragic song about a walking on eggshells-type relationship that's disguised with dreamlike, hazy vocals and instrumentation. Dunebug is a solo project by bedroom pop artist Chi Limpiroj, who is a self-taught producer and creates her own work right in her bedroom. The single is accompanied by a music video that makes you feel as if you're in Northern Italy rolling around in vineyard-covered hills in the summer. The visuals embody the lyrics with such ease and with it being shot on a 16mm gives it even more of that soft effect to bring it all together and create such a charming piece.
