California artist Kip Nelson has returned with the chugging psych-rock jam “Be on My Side” that features the vocals of Bira.
The groovy sunny nature of the song channels a lot of the early work of acts like Unknown Mortal Orchestra and Tame Impala, while finding a groove very much of its own.
As it’s described by Nelson:
“Be on My Side” is about friendship, love, fear, consciousness and hallucination. A sonic blip in time, so quick the listener wonders if they even heard the song at all.
Enjoy a listen to “Be on My Side” below.

Japan, Man is a 15-year-old artist Laeticia Acra, who hails from Beirut and makes music that is described as “an illuminating representation of a teenager growing up in Lebanon – youthful yet wise beyond her years.” She’s recently returned with her second single “The Law,” taken from her forthcoming debut EP.
“The Law” shows the young artist finding a smooth pop groove that has a ton of funky and smart production aspects that remind a bit of some similar young rising acts like Clairo and Men I Trust. It sparkes with her vocal performance and the thick syrupy vocals that propel the whole thing forward with a ton of momentum with a tender and sincerity to it that gives the impression that she’s an artist wise beyond her years.
Enjoy a listen to “The Law” below and stay tuned for more from Japan, Man very soon.
