Watch SHY Martin's music video for "Remember you were the one" here

Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist: 

‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

SHY Martin is an artist we’ve covered the most since launching the Gems & Secrets platform. From penning some of our favorite songs within the last decade while simultaneously collecting billions of streams from listeners all around the world, it would seem the artist would eventually start to fill the pressure—and while we’re not suggesting the musician doesn’t feel any pressure within her creative process—one thing is for sure… SHY Martin continues to hold a level of quality and integrity within her work that never loses its magic.

“I feel like I‘ve become better at respecting myself and my energy during the last year, I’ve learnt to move away from situations and people that don't make me happy. I’ve never been good at letting relationships go and as a songwriter I’ve always gone back to old relationships trying to figure out why they went wrong or if I could have done something differently to change the outcome. This song is the first one I’ve written about accepting it for what it is instead of dwelling on the past” — SHY Martin

With her latest, titled “Remember you were the one”, SHY Martin hits a darker tone than what we’ve heard in recent past. It’s eccentric and bold and we love the direction and energy SHY Martin delivers throughout her performance. Accompanying the new single is a DIY lyric music video that blends screenshots and film photos together to create a lifestyle look of the artist, and we gotta say, we love how it came out.

Check out the new single for yourself and let us know what you think down below. Don’t forget to connect with SHY Martin online to stay up to date on any upcoming releases and enjoy!

Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist: 

‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

New artist on the block Charlie Houston follows the success of “Calls”—the artist’s recent debut single—with an upbeat new track titled “Things”. Reflecting on her youthful insecurities and unrequited affection with raw vulnerability, Charlie delivers a smooth downtempo indie hit that’s undeniably stylish.

"The song is sort of about becoming so infatuated with someone that you begin to lose sight of who you are, also comparing yourself to the kind of person you think they want, and trying to become that" says Houston.

The new song boasts delicate vocal lines and gentle guitar licks with a tight, calming flow from beginning and to end. And while the song grabs us from the start and holds us over until the very end. It’s safe to say we’ll be looking forward to what Charlie does next soon, but in the meantime, we’ll just keep “Things” on repeat.

Blake Mathews talks bi-polar and sex on new single "What They Don't Know"

Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist: 

‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

We’ve been following Blake Mathews career for some time now. Originally from Phoenix, Arizona. The singer and songwriter has spearheaded a variety of music projects and bands from over the years. From dance music to psychedelic rock to even hip-hop and pop… Blake (real name Matthew Baratz) has done his fair share in cultivating a unique sound that his cult following has fallen in love with time and time again.

But despite his creative touch, what really makes the artist pop is his ability to convey such complicated emotions through storytelling and his raw and often honest writing style. Touching on topics like living with bi-polar, mental health, depression, self-identity, and purpose… there’s not a topic that Blake feels too shy on exploring. Sure, it’s possible that at times these topics can feel overbearing or heavy, which is why it’s just as common to find a collection of gems from Blake that are meant to get in the groove and celebrate life.

Even so, while we feel Blake Mathews is still growing into his role as an artist, we recognize the untapped potential Blake is beaming with and we look forward to following the artist over the next couple of years to see where he ends up. In the meantime, stream the artist’s new single and connect with him on Instagram to stay up to date on any upcoming projects and enjoy!

Brand new music from Silent Child, stream 'Heart Attack' here

Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist: 

‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Atlanta based artist Silent Child — real name Rodney — is currently putting out some of the best music of his career. From the songwriting to the sound design, Silent Child has not only formulated his own unique sound but his energy and direction are bold and unmatched. It’s been exciting watching him flourish into the artist he is right now but we’re even more excited to see where he goes in the coming years. As his own writer, producer, and engineer… the potential Silent Child possesses is limitless.

“This song is about my caution for the future based on past damage. When I started making music, it began with me thinking I was a god. I would make anything and believe that it sounded amazing. A rude awakening hit when I sent my music to actual professionals and would get bombarded with destructive criticism and told to quit. That idea sunk in my head long enough for it to be a permanent feature of my personality. I almost gave up on my dreams and I’m a heavy victim of self-loathing/doubt. But I stuck with it only because I knew that one day, I wouldn’t hate myself or my music anymore”.
