Tecoby Hines\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Tecoby Hines\u2019 \u201cDays under Sun\u201d is still taking us to the outdoor happy hour of our dreams. In fact, the North Carolina based artist\u2019s new LP of the same name feels flawless, breezy, honest\u2014put the whole thing on and lean into its goodness.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/5ocwojNe9NXtZd7UudVeN2?si=7ad4f82831584eec\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LISTEN NOW<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><strong>2. DRAMA\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>When we heard \u201cForever\u2019s Gone\u201d, something just clicked. That intoxicating synthy beat, that vocal hook &#8211; we haven\u2019t been able to get this one out of our heads. The Chicago duo\u2019s got a few equally excellent singles that have come out this year, so once you\u2019ve taken \u201cForever\u2019s Gone\u201d for another spin, make your way to those new tracks.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/1ts5CgJkgBhuPCAc0TzzRu?si=a7a4c0c872f14f21\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LISTEN NOW<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><strong>3. Sandra Bernardo\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>What keeps us coming back to Sandra Bernardo\u2019s \u201cLuna\u201d is its earthy feel\u2014the gentle snaps (or is it raindrops, we\u2019re still trying to decide), the airy reverb, the expansive voices. The Madrid artist\u2019s whole LP <em>Es el Momento<\/em> is just as enchanting. Go have a listen.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/0T1f9ERqvn0T5EkI4qOsQ9?si=4a476e0afd004765\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LISTEN NOW<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><strong>4. Gracie Gray<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Did you catch the Los Angeles artist\u2019s \u201cdig\u201d when it came out? The whole LP, <em>anna<\/em>, has that kind of lo-fi bedroom softness and intimacy to it. We\u2019re still basking in the tender feel of it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/0eLcgE6mHth0BhQRttNzCT?si=ed0ec94d2e7e44d6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LISTEN NOW<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><strong>5. Fieh<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Gothenburg seven-piece scrambled our brains in the best way with their multifaceted, glittery pop tune \u201cIn the Sun in the Rain (Move on Up)\u201d. The whole album is gripping\u2014a funk forward, string haloed, groove laden 11-track experience. You gotta check it out.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/4pObOkv7ADoWXeNd232mf7?si=3058bddcf2d14a61\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LISTEN NOW<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><strong>6. Esabalu\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Jenn Mundia, a.k.a. Esabalu, gave us \u201cBe Okay\u201d, a ballad full of catharsis\u2014lush strings, and downright confessional honesty. The Los Angeles based artist has shared a string of new music this year\u2014tender, dynamic, catchy songs that need your ears, ASAP.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/0eQ1aHmnHRDUAAgwTEeCxZ?si=2b761d1918fe43bd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LISTEN NOW<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><strong>7. Ferraz\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>When we first heard the Mexico City artist\u2019s track \u201c\u00a1Corre! &#8211; Sunsplash Remix\u201d, it just brought us straight to dreaming about summertime. So, naturally we\u2019ve got it on repeat for these warm months.
