Nathaniel Paul – The Girl with No Tattoo
Nathaniel Paul’s upbeat alternative pop release ‘The Girl with No Tattoo’ sounds both intriguing and preaching, highlighting that not having tattoos in a time during which tattoos are very popular, is almost an “act of quiet resistance to homogeny”. His simple pop sound is rather infectious, talking about his and his wife’s ability to fight the norm by having ‘unbranded’ skin. It is part of an extensive pop catalogue and adds another layer to it!

It captures raw tension and the struggle to make things right and through its driving soundscape supports those that go through those same emotions.

Turin-born collective Primovere released ‘Goodbye’ blending a crooning pop sound with keys-driven indie hooks.
