This week's Fresh Finds kicks off with a new release from one of our favorites, Henrik, who has just dropped his latest single, “Way Back.” This vibrant summer anthem exudes a feel-good vibe that is perfect for the season. With its incredibly catchy lyrics and melodies, "Way Back" encapsulates everything we adore about Henrik and the evolving folk-pop movement. This track is a bona fide hit and promises to be on repeat for us all summer long.
Next up is Waylon Wyatt with his emotionally charged single, “Phoning Heaven.” This song leans into traditional country roots, showcasing Waylon’s maturity as a lyricist. His powerful vocal range is on full display as he navigates themes of loss and longing, making this track particularly relatable for anyone who has experienced the pain of losing a loved one. The heartfelt lyrics and soulful delivery make "Phoning Heaven" a deeply resonant and moving piece.
Rounding out our selections is the collaborative effort of Jonny Stanback and Tom LeFlore with their new single, “Fred Again.” This track highlights the incredible versatility of both artists, straying into dance-pop territory. Stanback, known for his recent successes in folk/country, and LeFlore, who typically gravitates towards bedroom and lofi pop, blend their unique styles to create something fresh and exciting. "Fred Again" is an intriguing addition to their discographies and is a must-add to your playlists.
