Artists to Watch:
Jake’s Take’s Artists to Watch is back! Here are some of the recording artists that I believe could shake up the music world.
Translucent EP by Betty Moon
Canadian singer-songwriter Betty Moon has developed a large following throughout her 20-plus years solo career. Today, she dropped her latest extended play: Translucent. Throughout the six tracks, Ms. Moon teleports fans and newcomers into her world through a combination of trance, EDM, and pop-rock. Translucent is a great EP that showcases that Ms. Moon can deliver impeccable hits and should be played on both Top 40 radio stations and streaming platforms. A
Tracks to Download: “Did It For Nothing,” “Don’t Stop Now,” “Monsters in My Head,” & “The Liar.”
“You & Lonely” by Cloe Wilder
Cloe Wilder ideally put lyrics together regarding a song about loneliness and wrongly letting go of people. “You & Lonely” is a poignant song, and I loved the melancholic piano arrangement. Cloe does have strong potential breaking into the music world, and I am looking forward to hearing more from her. B
“Finally” by Eileen Carey
Sometimes you need a song that will make you smile, and Eileen Carey’s “Finally” is the perfect tune. Ms. Carey brilliantly weaves a song about the ideal partner, and this track could put her in the same league as Faith Hill and LeAnn Rimes. Thanks for delivering the positivity, Ms. Carey! A+
