South-east London born and bred, Flo was raised around music. She sits, scribbling words about her daily life through the musicality and soul of a natural artist that would eventually emerge, fully formed, as a friend in our ears.
We love her latest single because it is about living for the moment. “21” shimmers with bold, confident instrumentation and honest, sassy, storytelling lyrics. Her music is reminiscent of the likes of Kate Nash and Lily Allen, oozing an early 2000’s feel, while delivering a fresh pizzazz. Wearing her heart on her sleeve, the song is an account of her mistakes in youth but not regretting her life experiences. With her strong identity, “21” features infectious melodies and a fat, head-bopping bassline which dominates the chorus. 

The music video for “21” features Flo working long shifts, saving up money to blow it on a night out at a karaoke bar. Bright colours, flamboyant outfits and vibrant shots of London town emit feel-good vibes, getting you in the mood to party.

Now playing: Daisies | Raye Robinson

We are officially titling summer 2021 “we’re outside,” as we start to see the light at the end of tunnel, regarding the Coronavirus Pandemic. To get you ready for a great summer, here is Daisies by Raye Robinson who is a Los Angeles alternative pop artist. Raye Robinson is a bowl of sunshine and femininity with her new track. The song is also a reminiscent of Lily Allen meets Billie Eilish.

If you haven’t heard of Raye Robinson, she has garnered acclaim from the likes of Live Nation’s Ones to Watch and Earmilk.

Through honest songwriting and relatable themes, Raye Robinson creates a fresh and intoxicating sound, emitting an innocence and dreaminess that continues to whisk music lovers away to their own delight.

Having previously performed in bands, her time alone during the pandemic has allowed Robinson to dive into her music and self while discovering her love for taking creative control over her sound.

Produced by Rob Auerbach, out of his do-it-yourself (DIY) garage studio, Robinson’s upcoming music emits a spunky, fun, laidback and feel good vibe that is sure to become a summer favorite.

The debut single “Daisies” is the first track off of her upcoming EP entitled Crushes & Love Songs. Unsurprisingly the song is a matter of the heart, narrating her unfortunate and confusing love situation.

The songwriter confides, “I ended things with a guy that I was seeing because I was afraid to get into something serious. After we stopped seeing each other, though, I really missed the connection we had, and I couldn’t stop wondering ‘Does he miss me too? Does he hate me now? Did I make the right decision?’”

Robinson explains this sparked her thinking about the “he loves me, he loves me not,” picking petals from flowers trope. She shares “I immediately loved using the word ‘daisies’ in the hook, and from there the rest of the song came together pretty quickly!”

“Daisies” starts off with an intimate, minimalistic feel laced in tender piano hits, the track bursts to life with a bass-infused piano, soft vocals and glassy, light production. The song carries a diverse use of keys creating a soundscape of heavy and light with an almost old-school Lily Allen-esque bounce to the rhythm. The track is beaming in sunshine and femininity creating warmth to the track which radiates through its simplicity.

New Music: PinkFiz – ‘Did I Ask?’ | Female Consent and Sexual Harassment Anthem

PinkFiz photoshoot

18-year-old punk-pop artist PinkFiz from Cambridgeshire has released her new single “Did I Ask?” to emphasize the importance of female consent and why we all need to do our part to end sexual harassment. The new single touches on punk/rock instrumentation, radiating a brooding bassline, fast-paced drums, and a howling lead guitar. The clashing guitars are a juxtaposition to PinkFiz’s soft, muted vocals, as she sings, “she’s not your possession.” 

PinkFiz confides, “I wrote this song about the phrase “she was asking for it” because I was really angry that day about it and I needed to get all my frustration about it into words and into a song. I am very passionate about fighting for equality and about making opportunities for everyone the same. As a female guitarist, I have been overlooked in the past and disregarded and I’ve often felt invalidated and seen as not as good as my male peers. I also recalled being robbed of opportunities in school and begging for a chance to play something more technical and difficult but the parts I would ask for were always given to an older male teacher without me having a shot at trying them.”

PinkFiz represents female empowerment and the songwriters pride in being an independent female artist and producer. With the hopes to make listeners feel invincible and capable of anything, she hopes the empowering song will help listeners feel like they stomping on top of the world.

Here at Fromgirltogirl, we enjoy the catchy chorus of ‘Did I Ask?’ and appreciate the messaging of encouraging sexual consent. Although our society needs to enforce more policies and laws to protect women against sexual abuse and violence, we know we must keep the conversation going to make a better world for not only us but our future generations. We cannot stay silent.

Seven Spies band mates are a three-piece band consisting of David Blomiley (vocals, guitar, piano), Olly Brown (drums, backing vocals) and an ever-rotating bassist.

London childhood friends, Seven Spies, are a three-piece band ready to infiltrate the ears of the world. Consisting of David Blomiley (vocals, guitar, piano), Olly Brown (drums, backing vocals) and an ever-rotating bassist, music fans can expect to witness a healthy dose of melodic riffs and anthemic choruses because Seven Spies fuses the best of rock bands — such as Muse and Radiohead, while highlighting vocals reminiscent of Jeff Buckley and Bjork.

Their highly anticipated debut single “Chameleon” narrates the different faces, personas and behaviour we put on to negotiate our daily lives in different situations and the pressure people place on themselves to hide their struggles and internal demons to the outside world. Sonically the chorus shows a defiance against these pressures, external and internal, saying in the end they won’t overwhelm or control who or how we want to be.

Self-produced by Blomiley and Brown in their bedroom studio and mastered by John Davis (The Killers, Lana del Rey, Royal Blood, Lewis Capaldi, Gorillaz) at Metropolis Studios, “Chameleon” delivers an intimate, yet polished result. Featuring gritty, raucous guitars, tenacious melodies and textured harmonies, showcasing Blomiley’s impressive vocals, “Chameleon” is an energetic release, bursting with both conviction and charisma.  Listen now to “Chameleon.”

She is now one of UK’s hottest emerging talents. Combining her youthful and charismatic aura with her classical training and time spent at the prestigious BRIT School, Shay has finessed the ability to produce undeniably catchy music, whilst maintaining a musical maturity.

Natalie Shay’s new album NAKED

Shay’s upcoming EP NAKED is a five-track release delving into the everyday experiences of a 21 year old, detailing relationships and life as a young musician. NAKED cleverly blends the best of 80’s music with modern flares.

Shay expresses, “I love authentic 80s synth and drum sounds, but I also love modern pop vocal lines and effects. And of course lots of guitars. I try to include a flavour of each of those things in my music. It was very important to me that all of the songs had their own unique stamp and vibe but still all fitted and worked together under the same project”. 

Listen now “Owe It To You” which shows a more heartfelt side of Shay’s songwriting, emitting a raw and truly personal essence. Thematically the single is about being in a relationship and struggling to resist temptation. The track illustrates the breakdown in a relationship, knowing you have interest elsewhere but struggling to let go for the fear of being alone. The single sees Shay’s first time including brass instruments in her music, bringing the song to life through a vibrant saxophone solo.

To date Shay has collectively amassed hundreds of thousands of streams, with her single ‘Yesterday’ being placed in Spotify’s New Music Friday playlist in nine countries. Natalie Shay is a force to be reckoned with and we can’t wait to see what 2020 has in store. NAKED is slated for release 17th April.

Now playing: ‘Not the Girl’ by Natalie Shay

Searching for an upbeat song to add to your work commute playlist? Check out indie pop rock artist Natalie Shay’s new single “Not The Girl,” which narrates modern dating through a fun and lighthearted lens.

At 21, Natalie Shay is one of the UKs hottest emerging musicians, with her unforgettable live performances and viral-worthy anthems.

Shay’s upcoming EP NAKED is a five-track release delving into the everyday experiences of a 21 year old, detailing relationships and life as a young musician. Continuing the songwriter’s love of 80’s soaked music, NAKED cleverly blends the best of era with modern flares.

Shay expresses, “I love authentic 80s synth and drum sounds, but I also love modern pop vocal lines and effects. And of course lots of guitars. I try to include a flavour of each of those things in my music. It was very important to me that all of the songs had their own unique stamp and vibe but still all fitted and worked together under the same project”. 

Shay wrote the leading single “Not The Girl” to reflect on modern relationship from a point of understanding rather than a big ‘f*ck you,”, depicting the feeling of sometimes not feeling good enough and struggling to resist temptations. At the end of the day, relationships are work and it is always possible to get to a point where compatibility is lost but we hold on because of the fear of being alone.

A Look Ahead With Natalie Shay

Shay sold out two headline shows in 2019, with her music continuing to pique the interest of notable publications such as Billboard, Clash and The Line of Best Fit. To date she has collectively amassed hundreds of thousands of streams, with her single ‘Yesterday’ being placed in Spotify’s New Music Friday playlist in nine countries. Natalie Shay is a force to be reckoned with and we can’t wait to see what 2020 has in store.

‘Fever Vibe’ is about young love. It is mixed by Simon Cohen (Justin Bieber, Starley) and mastered by Leon Zervos (Amy Shark, Maroon 5, Troye Sivan).
St. Humain hopes this single will chronicle an exciting time with a loved one, tagging the moment that they made you feel a certain special kind of way.

He expresses, “I want the stuff I create to inspire you live the best life you know how: Stirring up your highs, hugging you when you’re feeling shitty, and right beside you when everything’s simply mundane. Each song is a reflection of a certain time in my own life (or sometimes a current reality) and I hope that they resonate with yours.”
