Ahead of her debut EP ‘Fifth Goodbye,’ Chrissy Spratt breaks down the making of key tracks in this exclusive commentary. The Canadian pop-R&B singer-songwriter’s latest single, “Call On Me,” features Nigerian artists Nonso Amadi and Serøtonin. Blending R&B, dancehall, Afropop and amapiano, the song is about a couple trying to hold on despite their challenges. Nonso’s freestyle set the tone for the track, Chrissy says, while “the second I heard Serøtonin’s verse, I got chills.” Hear more from the fast-rising artist, only on SoundCloud.

Dream, Ivory, aka Brothers Christian and Louie Baello, got their start during the heyday of the SoundCloud rap era, but they’ve since switched it up to a sound that blends indie, pop-rock and shoegaze. In this exclusive commentary, ahead of their second album, ‘When You Come Back I Have So Much to Tell You,’ they describe the creative process behind key tracks including “Bullet Train” (which felt “super effortless,” Christian says), “I Don’t Even Know You” (inspired by Louie’s long-distance relationship with a girl in Georgia) and “Not the Best Idea,” which imagines some friends’ scary experience with a Ouija board. About “Sometimes,” Christian says, “I think the song can make you feel a ton of ways.” Listen now, only on SoundCloud.
