“Latch on My Heart” by Claire-Mae Brings Vintage Pop Romance to the A-List Playlist

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.

Vas Michael Talk to Me and Stay light up Hollywood’s A List Playlist

Vas Michael returns with two standout new singles that highlight his flair for retro influenced pop and contemporary production finesse. The lead track Talk to Me arrives with an electronic synth 80s pulse, a driving bassline, crisp pop drums and a melody built for instant replay. The song carries echoes of Joe Jackson and Thomas Dolby while adding a Euro Pop Dance lift that keeps it bright, bouncy and highly memorable. There is even a subtle Jona Lewie quality in the way the hook burrows into your mind and stays there.

The second release, Stay, leans into a shimmering, dreamlike 80s inspired ballad format. Popping synth textures recall Yazoo or Pet Shop Boys, wrapped in glossy European pop production that feels both nostalgic and modern. Vas Michael’s smooth and recognisable vocal draws the listener into a warm atmosphere of airy pads and melodic arpeggios. The track plays like a romantic vignette set in a futuristic world, a synth pop poem with the cinematic glow of a Never Ending Story style moment.

Vas Michael is a singer songwriter who moves comfortably between slow burning ballads and upbeat dance pop. His music is shaped by strong melodic choices and lyrics that speak with depth and sincerity.

Both new singles are now featured on our A List Playlist and will be played daily as a special DOUBLE POP POWERPLAY at 9:30 AM Pacific USA time throughout the next month.
