Zach James Douglas

Zach James Douglas returns with his latest offering ‘You're Still Everything’ which features the budding and eminently talented vocalist, Lupupa, who hails from Milton Keynes.

His distinct sound contains flavours of guitar based indie/shoegaze rock and glistening, synth heavy electronica, which is often offset by a warm hue of lo-fi bedroom pop, which creates his signature sound and showcases his talent as a producer.

His latest offering comes in the form of the infectious single ‘You’re Still Everything.’

Leah Rose

On the May 21st, 2021 emerging pop songwriter and producer Leah Rose will independently release her debut single ‘Goodnight’. The single will be accompanied by a lyric video made by the artist herself.

The melancholic hue of ‘Goodnight’ arises from the sentimentality of a writer reflecting on a landscape they no longer exist in. The song was written and recorded in lockdown and is a prime example of how an artists’ time in isolation can result in the inevitable dissection of their past. Sonically, ‘Goodnight’ was inspired by artists such as Lorde, The Weeknd and Charli XCX.

Leah Rose is a Cork-born artist who has spent the last 5 years based in Dublin. She spent much of that time honing her craft, finding inspiration in lyricists such as Alex Turner and Lana Del Rey. Strong imagery and colour play a huge role in Leah’s songwriting. Growing up with artists for parents meant that Leah was exposed to a range of visual art forms at a young age. She strives to create art not only through music but through her artwork, photography and overall visual aesthetic.

“I see my songwriting style as atmospheric and somewhat abstract. I love being able to use music as a tool to materialise the things I see in my mind. So when I write a song I try to place the listener right in the centre of my memories and daydreams”.

‘Goodnight’ marks the debut of Leah Rose, but is the first taste of things to come in 2021.
