Hi everyone! We have a super Black Friday opportunity for you today, guys! For three songs purchased, you get three songs! For only $0. Who offers better? For this weekend (which we know is long for our American friends), we found three indie-folk gems to put in your ears by the fire. We hope you enjoy this selection!

Luke Beling - Into This New Year

What? A holiday song IMC? What's happening to you, Niko? Yes, it's true, I never write about holiday songs on IMC for the simple reason that I would always write the same thing: "This song is perfect to get into the holiday spirit".

Only maestros like Luke Beling can change my mind. When it's done well, and it's not teeming with hysterical little dancing elves, it suits me. Luke Beling's voice alone is enough to captivate me, as you know since this is his 6th IMC Feature. Our IMC Family member has once again set the bar very high. We love the piano, we love the acoustic guitar, we love original vocals, and we love perfectionist work. It's all there in this song.

And also, it's a song that is truly open to others, which allows sharing with those you love and are dear to you. And you can sing along to this gem with the ones you love. Could we ask for more? Perfection? No, Luke already reached it a long time ago.

Jessica Heine - Another Love

Let's now welcome Jessica Heine, from Canada. This talented artist has been making music for almost as long as we've been promoting indie music. And it shows in her writing.

Her new single "Another Love", released today, is written from a rather original point of view, which we have never seen before. We often hear beautiful love songs that highlight an unconditional love that we are happy to have found. Or breakup songs about a love we thought would last forever. But what if the love we currently have is enough for us?

This is the message that Jessica wanted to convey, as she explains to us with great lucidity: "I like the idea that one love could be enough, that one love could satisfy. The world won't stop when someone we love is gone, but perhaps in some cases, the cup was full enough that there is no need to drink from another glass".

Both a word juggler and a poet, Jessica Heine envelops us with exceptional softness thanks to a precise mastery of emotions in her warm vocals.

We are sorely lacking women in the selective world of indie-folk, and Jessica Heine has come to solve this puzzle that bloggers often face. A genuine artist you can trust with your eyes closed.

Daniel Trakell - Still

Well here is a situation that IMC has never faced. Featuring the same artist two days in a row. But there is a French adage which says that when you love, you don't count. So, let's taste once again the exquisite flavors of Daniel Trakell's album "Into The Blue", which has been released today.

“Still” is the opening track of this collection of 10 gems that you won’t be able to live without. The perfect soundtrack for a fall weekend by the fire. The song explores the difficulties of moving on from a relationship that is more toxic than anything else. This almost irresistible temptation to hurt yourself. Oh yes, I experienced that, and I talked about it in the “IMC Rewind” podcast. But many of you have already had this kind of weird experience and it is sometimes difficult to put it into words.

Daniel Trakell succeeds in this exercise with talent (as always), and through this song led by a nostalgic and melancholic pedal steel guitar, he once again shows the maturity of his writing. And makes us want to dive into this 10-track adventure!
