For You – Jaime Orr
The instrumental and vocals of 22-year-old Rock guitarist/songwriter Jaime Orr’s single ‘For You’ should be fighting for centre stage, both incredibly strong in their technique.

I found rising indie artist Effy Marella on Instagram, and was taken by how she immerses her vocals into her recent release ‘bleachers’, and how they act as an encapsulation of the mood displayed.
