Details about the UK's most enchanting new chanteuse Bluebell are few and far between, and aside from her friendship with fellow Neon Gold favorite FOE and former involvement in Hampshire four piece Lady & The Lost Boys, there's not much known about Miss Annabel Jones. This much we do know though: her debut single "Normal Heights" is anything but, so extraordinary is the orchestral pop instrumentation that strings you along throughout, leaving you breathless with dramatic looping vocals and its delightfully circuitous structure. Combining Au Revoir Simone grace with raw Imogen Heap emotion, its a special track and the perfect intro song to your new band crush. Plus, we can personally attest to the consistent brilliance of the releases to come, filled to the brim with the kind of massive pop hooks we want to get real friendly with. For now though, “Normal Heights” will keep you grounded, in the best way imaginable. Consider this the post-“Such Great Heights” during the comedown, right before you decide to dive back in.

SOMEBODY SAVE ME.
We've been meaning to write about London's FOE for so long it's not even hilarious, but fortunately the British chanteuse writes the kind of haunting torchsongs that refuse to fade with time. Together with her writing partner in crime Entrepeneurs, FOE pens the kind of eerily mesmerizing ballads that recall early Florence & The Machine, before the major label budgets and popstar makeover brought her sound to the masses. "A Handsome Stranger Called Death" is her quintessential track, all funereal synths and doom-and-gloom beats as FOE sings of a brush with death himself: "tall dark and handsome / a cigar in your mouth / a little black dog and the biggest smile".MP3: "A Handsome Stranger Called Death" - FOE
