Thee Marloes' 'Di Hotel Malibu' is effortlessly transportive. Blending vintage soul with warm electric piano, scratchy guitar and velvet vocals, the Indonesian trio create a groove that feels both nostalgic and timeless. Sung in their native tongue, the song reflects on two people whose paths unexpectedly cross, questioning why fate chose this moment and this place.

The visuals take that feeling of escape even further. Set aboard a vintage-inspired aircraft that's been transformed into a glamorous 1960s hotel lounge, kitted out with a live band, every frame feels like stepping into a golden-age Hollywood dream. It's stylish, soulful and quietly cinematic - the kind of track that makes you want to sink into your window seat, gaze at the passing clouds with a drink in hand, and simply enjoy the journey.
