Callie Nixon's debut album as flatroom is all it's cracked up to be and more. Not just content to be behind the boards as a talented producer with roots in the fledgling Dariacore scene, she's also an immensely affecting composer and singer-songwriter with influences from noughties-era country and folk. On I Don't Even Need, these two influences combine like headstrong bucks, relaxed and warm acoustic guitar-driven folk giving way to a rushing, soaring burst of happy hardcore arpeggios and energy. It's hands down the best song on the album, and it's really fighting for that spot between the album version of Blood sugar and the cover of When the Stars Go Blue.

incredibly talented producer, singer, songwriter, dj, and visual artist. i honestly don’t think she has a single bad song! her debut album feels like the adrenaline rush that comes with being infatuated with the world around you... it makes you wanna dance, smile, cry, forever

charm includes jazz influences, bedroom indie pop, soft sounds for fall vibes. the piano is my favourite thing absolutely slaps. one of few artist whose fame didn't ruin artistry.

been a fan for a while but I think this most recent album of hers is my fave (last one is great too). was most impressed by how she reinvented her music, particular the "bedroom pop" songs from her early career. I honestly wondered beforehand if she'd even play them, she's matured so much from that part of her career, but she fully redid the composition for them. And there's a flute and saxophone solos allllll over this show. You can tell she loves music and wants to make it an experience for the crowd. Ya gotta see!

Getting a lot more into Spanish-language music as of recent—from Spain, France, Chile, Mexico, Argentina, and in the case of Esteman, Colombia. This piece, the second off his 2021 album Si Volviera A Nacer, features some beautiful vocals from Mexico's Daniela Spalla, and a melody that is eerily reminiscent (to me, anyway) of Centuries by Fall Out Boy. A very nocturnal song that I've been using as a soundtrack to my nightly drive home from work this past month.

Incredible hidden gem from, I believe, Croatia—vaporwave sample and aesthetic, sharp and striking drill instrumental, and an utterly natural flow from all of our rappers here. Lavan's verse at the end is the weakest here, due to its shortened length and his autotune-inflected vocal style, but it's a very slight mark on an otherwise surprisingly fantastic piece. Try something new on for size, on me.
