| Scarlett Cook - Songbird Classical, Rock, Goth, Folk | 30/04/2013 |
Scarlett Cook is Melbourne's most unconventional pianist, singer, songwriter. The heavy rock/metal influenced composer successfully breaks music industry norms with her dark, dissonant, dramatic sounds and sentimentally mad, melancholy vocals.
Songbird- The summoning of the muse. A tribute to the muse. A song ironically written about...writers block. And the final ultimatum, the choice between the light or the dark.

| Amanda Easton - Dance To The Music In My Head Pop, Electronic, Chill | 19/04/2013 |
Best known as backing vocalist to the stars (Wendy Matthews, Richard Clapton, Powderfinger at the ARIAs etc) this is all Amanda - old fashioned melodies, post-modern beats; theatrical electronic pop.
Moody, lush, theatrical electronica pop reminiscent of Goldfrapp or Portishead. Catchy with a slow build - sounds a bit James Bond! Modern beats but the song has a 1960's influence.

| Linda Wood - Shut Up And Dance Pop, Acoustic, Easy Listening, World | 19/04/2013 |
According to one fan: "Kate Bush with balls". However, this ukulele wielding songstress's melodic, eclectic 'quirk-pop' is akin to Norah Jones blended with Elvis Costello - groovy, honest, organic.
The coolest triangle sparkles subtly over a sultry drum rhythm that could be a rumba or bachata with it's acoustic bass vibe, nylon string guitar and gorgeous flugelhorn. The understated organ is the delicious glue that is hardly noticeable but definitely there under the somewhat jazz inspired melody.
