The new single “Latch on My Heart” from American-Argentinian singer Claire-Mae arrives as a grand, sweet, and warmly melodic release that feels timeless while remaining entirely its own. Now featured on the A-List Playlist, the song will also be played as a special POWERPLAY at 8:30 PM Pacific USA time for the next 2 months, marking it as a standout moment for listeners drawn to classic songwriting and glowing production.

Built around a rich, vintage-inspired atmosphere, “Latch on My Heart” carries a soft 60s meets 70s sheen, complete with gentle flutes, glowing textures, and beautifully balanced chord progressions. There is a subtle echo of Nico-era Velvet Underground in the tone and mood, yet the track confidently inhabits its own world. Claire-Mae’s sweet, expressive vocal delivery gives the song its emotional center, especially in the tender refrain, “You are the one I love,” which lands with sincerity and warmth.

The production leans into a golden-era pop sensibility reminiscent of The Mamas and The Papas, when lush arrangements and heartfelt melodies defined the sound of a generation. That full, comforting sound feels newly relevant again here, making “Latch on My Heart” a touching and uplifting listen, particularly well suited to the reflective warmth of the Christmas season.

Claire-Mae is an American-Argentinian singer from Buenos Aires who chose to remain unidentified at the time of recording due to concurrent work on an EP release. As a result, the pseudonymous artist name Claire-Mae was adopted for this project, allowing the music itself to take center stage.

Soulful, melodic, and classic in spirit, Kērd DaiKur returns with three standout new singles that showcase her deep connection to timeless soul, melody, and human expression. These releases offer a strong introduction to the sound and emotional depth that define her artistry.

Night Rainbows is a mellow, Motown-inspired ballad built on a gentle blues bounce and a rich, expressive vocal performance. DaiKur’s voice moves effortlessly from deep, earthy tones to soaring melodic highs, flowing naturally and warmly throughout the track. The song carries a calm, reflective atmosphere, elevated by a blissful saxophone solo that reinforces its organic, human feel. With gentle lyrics and a dreamy nighttime mood, Night Rainbows is a soothing and immersive listening experience.

Your Truth shifts the energy into something more upbeat and uplifting while maintaining a classic soul foundation. Driven by strong chord progressions, brass accents, and a groove rooted in 1960s and 1970s soul and funk, the track delivers a natural, human edge that feels both fresh and familiar. DaiKur’s distinctive vocal presence leads the storytelling, creating a feel good record that invites movement and repeat listens while highlighting the craftsmanship behind every note.

It’s All the Same blends an organic acoustic feel with a strong rhythmic bounce. The song is built around soulful melodies, heartfelt storytelling, and warm chord progressions that give it a grounded, homely character. Hand claps add a subtle stomp that pulls the listener into its groove, while DaiKur’s voice remains the emotional anchor, sounding raw, sincere, and deeply connected to the song’s message. It is smooth, reflective, and comforting modern soul at its finest.

All three tracks form part of Kērd DaiKur’s debut album Beyond Silence, a project that highlights her dedication to melody, emotion, and authentic musicianship. Each release reinforces her ability to blend classic soul influences with contemporary warmth and clarity.

All three of these new soulful gems will be featured daily as a special Kērd DaiKur RADIO SPECIAL at 7:30 PM Pacific USA time for the next month and will also receive rotation on the A List Playlist.
