ItsNotYouItsMe "Come Thru Thursday Vocals" features dance mood-groove tune by Tom & Collins! Plus, smokin'-saucy sonics from TOPS!


“Even in the face of the global pandemic, Tom & Collins have had a fantastic year so far while continuing to make major steps forward as a blossoming duo. They graced the stage in their hometown of Mexico City at EDC Mexico and threw down an energetic daytime set. But before that, they kicked off the decade in style with an infectious tech house tune called “Sombrerito” that caught our ear.

Now, just in time for summer, the duo is back with a new track called “Corosito” that’s due out on Gorgon City’s REALM imprint on June 19. While “Sombrerito” received critical acclaim and has been supported by renowned artists in the scene, their newest track, “Corosito” is already looking to instill that same magic once more.

In fact, if you’re looking for some good vibes to dance the day away to in your rave cave, this is the tune for you. “Corosito” brings the energy right from the start of the song with its thumping bassline and hi-hats that immediately consume your soul. That bassline remains constant as the duo interlaces unique sounds and layers in vocals that truly take the track to the next level.

“Corosito” oozes summertime vibes and will undoubtedly be a fan favorite to keep the energy and mood high in these next coming months. With two masterful tracks already released this year, we can’t wait to see what this duo has in store for us next!"- edmidentity.com/2020/06/18/tom-collins-corosito-premiere/

"A few days ahead of their fourth album I Feel Alive, Montreal indie-pop darlings TOPS unveil its wonderful opening track “Direct Sunlight.” It’s a radiant and summery offering which brims with optimism. Nostalgic but not melancholic, it actually sounds like the soundtrack of a vintage romantic movie. On top of her heavenly vocal delivery, front-woman Jane Penny also unleashes a euphoric flute solo encapsulating the excitement of budding love or new spring. Speaking on the song, she said:

I went to this outdoor pool with Olympic style diving boards one summer day in Berlin, and when I tried to jump off the middle one, I think it was about 5 metres high, I really surprised myself when I realised that I’m terrified of heights. My whole body entered this panicked state, the phobia kicked in right away, and I had to do the walk of shame down the ladder and back to the pool.

I wanted to capture that duality, the way that even the sunniest days can have this underlying darkness to them, and how it’s not just the physical reaction to fear that casts the shadows, but more how the ever looming possibilities of loss or discontent are revealed. I wrote this song to remind myself that it’s up to me to choose the perspective that I take.

With four bangers already revealed, TOPS‘s new album I Feel Alive is undoubtedly one of the most exciting releases of early 2020." - highclouds.org/tops-direct-sunlight/
