Iconic British singer, Rowetta, makes yet another Audius debut this week with her soulful and joyous new track, “So Sweet.” In this song, a steady drum beat and delectable bass guitar riffs create a carefree, euphoric mood. Meanwhile, Rowetta’s unforgettably rich and throaty voice elevates this pop-y song to a timeless tune.

Audius once again spotlights Dombresky, celebrating another feel-good summertime tune titled “Bless Me.” Featuring the elusive yet talented producer Discrete, “Bless Me” is a floaty, angelic house tune. Although a touch faster than is typical for house, Dombresky and Discrete infuse this song with ecstatic glee. The four-on-the-floor beat paired with dancing piano chords as well as a honeyed vocal sample allow “Bless Me” to nod to disco-inspired subgenres of house. Without a doubt, “Bless Me” will dominate the summer festival circuit!

Rounding out this easygoing yet exuberant week is sptmber yngstr.’s latest beat, a collab with ECHLN named “walk away.” Opening up as a bouncy yet psychedelic beat, “walk away” envelopes listeners in a nonchalant mood. Subtly singing synths are joined by a ghostly vocal sample encouraging confidence to the listener. However, sptmber yngstr. and ECHLN drastically shift the mood into something a touch darker and introspective all while maintaining the easy-listening feel of the song. Despite this notable change in vibe, “walk away” remains a dependable beat that can be added to any seasonal playlist.
