Cherry Glazer are a young band from LA with a leader with lots of personality. Clementine Creevy started out by releasing her songs on Soundcloud as a teenager until Burger Records approached her. It's not such an unusual story anymore, in fact, it's possibly the common road to discovery now. Cherry Glazerr, a trio, was born after the cassette release of her early material. Their debut was released in 2014.
The follow up album 'Apocalipstick' has just been released and the album title even rivals the brilliantly named 'Femejism' by Deap Vally. "Nuclear Bomb" has an element of Dream-Pop mixed with the indie rock. Her performance in the video is something else again.
Already with a part in the television series 'Transparent' Clementine Creevy is a rising star - one way or another.... hopefully there are a few more albums like this in her career.

Emma Russack - "Best Love"
Emma Russack is an Australian singer songwriter who has been under the radar for much too long. She released her third album 'In A New State' in 2016 and it was one of my favourites of the year. The song that struck me the most, initially, was "Best Love", due to its honest recollection of a first love. This story of an obsessive relationship with a much older man can not be anything other than a personal one - the sincerity and heart is too true to be a fictional tale. And even though the relationship was never going to last, something she knew even then, it's everything she learnt from him that is remembered with much affection and she can look back without regret. It's a beautiful slow song that just takes you along.
