There is very little information about ekkstacy available online, beyond the fact that he s an 18-year-old from Vancouver. Despite the secrecy, the word is already out about his haunting music, which is doing big streaming numbers by mixing whispered acoustic ballads with SoundCloud emo rap. His standout singles combine his ghostly voice with catchy instrumentation, as on the new wave bounce of i walk this earth all by myself or the 1979 -esque alt-rock of i want to be by your side.

Janette King returns with new single You Don t Love Me .
The singer s new album What We Lost is out on June 25th, her debut full length project.
Expanding her reach and deepening her artistry, Janette King lies a fuse between R&B, vintage soul, and left field electronics.
Matching house textures to her personal touch, new single You Don t Love Me epitomises her approach.
Produced by Jonny Tobin, it explores absence, and questions what lies ahead; a song about doubt in relationships and yourself, it ultimately locates a forward path.
Tune in now.

Ahead of sharing her debut album this summer, Janette King has teamed with DijahSB on a new single. Cool Me Down finds the Canadian artists keeping focus and forward motion front of mind, as King s harmonies set up DijahSB to weave their verse between colourful chord changes.
King said of her latest, Covid has shown me that whatever I am envisioning for myself whether that be in my career, what type of life I want to live, or otherwise, only my belief in myself can crystallize those things. If I don t put into action those dreams in my head they will never become reality and only I can do that for myself. If I am afraid of succeeding or if I allow the variable factors of life get in my way then I will surely fail.
