Breanne Düren, a.k.a the soft background girl vocals in Owl City songs. She is well known for her soft and sweet voice.

This! is Breanne Düren... LOOK AT THOSE EYES!!

Her songs are mostly super soft and romantic in a sense of bringing you into a world of unimaginable love and passion. However, if you prefer EDM and upbeat music, her musics are those that will make you sleep in minutes like lullabies. (No, seriously, when I was in a mood to listen to fast songs and hers came, I literally skip it. But when I'm in a mood for deep meaningful songs, I can play her songs on repeat)
One of her famous work is "Daydreams", it's... well, a sweet romantic love song, and I have to say, she knows how to make it simple and meaningful. Watch her MV of "Daydreams"!
And... nope, not only is this song sweet, the chorus (in my opinion) is simply simple yet addictive in a way that I can keep repeating it.. "All I think that we... That we were meant to be". Well, it's pretty obvious it's relatable to everyone, I mean, that's why we love music right? Because we can relate to them. Anyways, back to the main thing... she is known to sing in Adam Young's songs like "Honey and the Bee", "Tip of the Iceberg", and some more. Try listening it here...

Now... again, her vocals might sound like a mother singing lullabies to their children, but that doesn't mean no one likes them. Besides, lyrically, the song isn't as bad as it is. Her latest song so far, is "Sign of Life"...
Which, in my opinion, is more electronic compared to her previous works, and softer... One of her album is Sparks, and I must say, it was an amazing album of hers and I hope she will come up as a star in the future.

Zella Day, originally from Arizona, is one amazingly infamous artist, started playing her guitar since 9, she has already make her way into the music industry. Her latest EP, "Zella Day - EP", a 4 track EP, is simply beautiful.

Tracklist:
1. Hypnotic
I think the song stands out quite well. Like the title, this song really "hypnotic". Zella Day sure knows how to play her vocal along the slightly country-pop music; however, lyrically, the song doesn't stand out as much as the other 3 tracks in the EP.
2. Sweet Ophelia
Ophelia, a fictional character from Shakespeare's work, and I have a feeling this song talks about Ophelia's loss of 'innocence'. Since the repetition "Sweet Ophelia/ When young blood escapes/Vows are break/Go up, up away" might actually be something Zella is trying to emphasize the story of Ophelia. Not to mention, in the second verse, she sang
"Singing like it's a full moon/Careless that he has you" might mean that Ophelia got 'careless' with a male stranger got into with. Overall, this song might be telling a story of Ophelia, and I have to say, this is one amazing song, with a story and histroy behind it.
3. Compass
Soft piano opening the song alongside with her soft voice, plus the beautiful lyrical message. This is definitely one awesome song, with chorus "Compass point you home/ Coming from the East/ Compass point you anywhere/ Closer to me", speaking of how 'he' aches of Zella's absence. A simple beautiful romantic song speaking of how 'he' wants to unite with Zella.
4. East of Eden
This might or might not be something surprising, but I think "East of Eden" might actually be related with "Compass". Oh, and also, Eden in this song might actually be related to the Garden of Eden, which is written in the Bible, in where Adam and Eve ate the apple, and escaped there. "Keep me from the cages under the control/ Running in the dark to find east of Eden" might actually mean that she wants to escape from the prison she has always been caged and run into the darkness although she might have no knowledge of what it might be.
