The Mother We ShareChvrches
CHVRCHES, Scotland’s pride and a leading force in electropop.
Formed in 2011, they have captivated listeners around the world with their distinctive sound since their 2013 debut.
Influenced by ’80s synth-pop, they create a refined, modern take on the genre.
Their debut track, “The Mother We Share,” was a major hit.
In 2013, they ranked fifth in the BBC Sound of 2013 and won newcomer honors.
Lauren Mayberry’s clear, crystalline vocals and the band’s catchy melodies are defining features.
Highly recommended not only for fans of electronic music but also for those who enjoy pop and rock.
ConfidentDemi Lovato
An electro-pop number featuring a powerful drum beat and striking horn section has arrived from American artist Demi Lovato.
Centered on themes of self-affirmation and confidence, it conveys the importance of taking pride in your individuality without being constrained by society’s or others’ judgments.
Released in September 2015, the track serves as the title song of the album Confident, reaching No.
1 in Israel.
In the United States, it peaked at No.

Too MuchDove Cameron
American artist Dove Cameron has released an ambitious work that channels the turmoil between self-affirmation and the pressure to meet others’ expectations through a powerful electropop sound.
Cameron, who won a Daytime Emmy in 2018 and is also active as an actress, confronts her inner self in this piece and advocates a way of living unbound by external validation.
The refined, synth-heavy arrangement blends beautifully with operatic vocals reminiscent of early Lady Gaga, resulting in a track that more than lives up to its role as the lead single for her second album.
It’s a song I highly recommend to anyone who wants to reaffirm the importance of living true to oneself.
PowerLittle Mix
An ambitious release from Little Mix that powerfully sings of women’s empowerment over a bold electropop sound.

Delicate emotions surrounding expectations and disappointment in a relationship—as well as self-esteem—unfold over a breezy melody.

Featured on the album “Short n’ Sweet,” it reached No.

Move OverJanis Joplin
A really cool rock number.
Janis passed away before the album containing this song was completed.
A song from 47 years ago—wow! With this powerful voice, she’s pressing us: “So what are we going to do now?” Highly recommended when you’re feeling frustrated.

As she mentioned in a Vogue interview—saying she led the creative process with vivid visual ideas—the work brims with colorful, energetic appeal.
It’s sure to give courage to anyone looking to break free from their past self and take a bold new step forward.
