In addition to her excellent turns in Booksmart and Unbelievable - which cemented her as one of the best rising actors in Hollywood - Kaitlyn Dever is also an accomplished singer-songwriter. Along with her equally talented younger sister Mady, the duo conjures a beautiful swirl of pastoral alt-folk under the moniker Beulahbelle. And this past week, they released the haunting new ballad "Raleigh" along with its gorgeously-shot, meditative music video - which the pair also co-directed.
"Raleigh" fades in on a sparse acoustic guitar and Kaitlyn's soft, soothing singing voice, which recounts feelings of regret and longing for a Romantic past. Both sisters harmonize effortlessly together over simmering, swelling strings and minimal percussion. It's a pensive track steeped in feelings of nostalgia, and with an expertly-rendered music video to boot. In this hazy cinematic clip, Mady and Kaitlyn sing the track together in a blank white bedroom, mirroring synchronized dance movements as the lyrics unfurl. There's an ethereal fog cloaked throughout the clip that really underscores its dream-like vibe.
"Raleigh" was produced with A&R legend Tony Berg. Overall, it's an intimate folk stunner that will move listeners in so many subtle ways. "'Raleigh' is a song Mady and I wrote years ago, and we dreamed of releasing it as our first single," Kaitlyn shared. "The opportunity to partner with a legend like Tony was a dream come true and we are excited to finally share our music with the world."

Enigmatic singer-songwriter returns with a haunting video
Electronica-pop hybrid songwriter Blanche has had a meteoric rise since first dropping her debut single "City Light'". Three years and over 41 Million streams later, the rising artist is gearing up to release her debut album Empire.
"City Light" is a stunning electro-pop lead single that brings an element of melancholia, blending traditional instruments with analogue synth beauty. The track was co-produced with Rich Cooper (Banks, Mystery Jets, Lucy Rose) and François Gustin (Girls In Hawaii), who also helped on the rest of the album. Watch the haunting video below.

Liddiard and Kitschinare joined by lunatics Lauren Hammel (High Tension) on drums and Erica Dunn (Harmony, Palm Springs) on guitars, keys, and different contraptions.

"Chameleon Paint" is a 2D arcade video game straight out of the late 80s. You will see references to technology as well as ongoing social problems. It gives us a look at the world today and the society we all live in. The baseline creeps up on you as while the guitar sends chills up your spine.
You can pre-order ‘Chameleon Paint’ b/w ‘Mansion Family’ here. The limited edition debut 7″ single by Tropical Fuck Storm (TFS) featuring Gareth Liddiard and Fiona Kitschin (The Drones), Lauren Hammel (High Tension) and Erica Dunn (Harmony, Palm Springs).
