From the first listen, there’s something instantly captivating about 'Primadonna'. It’s glossy and confident on the surface, but underneath there’s a real emotional tension driving it forward. Donna leans into that push-and-pull feeling of falling for someone while quietly questioning whether you’re about to lose yourself in the process. It’s relatable, it’s honest, and it feels very now. Sonically, ‘Prima Donna’ sits comfortably in the world of sleek modern pop. Think shimme

Known for blending pop, R&B, indie rock, and folk, Tice now leans decisively into art pop and indie pop, pairing emotional immediacy with a darker, more experimental edge. It’s not a reinvention — it’s a refinement. At the heart of ‘WAY OUT’ is a deeply human story. Written from the perspective of a friend witnessing someone trapped in a toxic

Alt-pop newcomer HOLLY keeps the momentum going with ‘FIX’, a dark, sleek pop track that leans into the messy side of desire, that moment when attraction stops feeling fun and starts feeling unavoidable. It’s confident, emotionally charged, and feels like a natural next step in her growing solo catalogue. HOLLY has spent over a decade writing and touring internationally, and it shows. Between collaborations with Synapson, Delta Heavy & Dirty Audio, and Eli & Fur, plus a world

Detroit outfit XCVIII return with Till Next Time , a strikingly introspective EP that captures the band at a moment of transition. It’s a project steeped in atmosphere: post-modern art pop framed by alternative rock edges, where flickers of Radiohead-esque melancholy brush against the intimacy of Dijon and the experimentation of Mk.gee. With their debut album on the horizon, this release feels like a breath taken mid-journey—quiet, intentional, purposeful. Led by Kevin Joseph

Hamburg duo counterglow arrive with echoes of self sounding like they’ve stepped straight out of a neon-lit reverie and onto centre stage. It’s a debut soaked in dreamy synth haze and indie-soul warmth, but there’s a sharpness beneath the glow that gives the whole thing a quiet confidence. Lauren Goodley’s voice feels almost vaporous, drifting through Jonas Grell’s widescreen production with the poise of someone who knows exactly how much space to take up—and when to pull ba

Zuko Sian’s “Spill A Little Tea” moves with the gentle confidence of an artist fully attuned to her own emotional landscape. Built from tender melodies and warm, textured production, the song feels like a conversation you weren’t meant to overhear — intimate, vulnerable, and quietly resolute. Her voice glows at the center, carrying a depth of feeling that suggests both tenderness and danger: the softness before a truth is spoken aloud. What elevates the track is its clarity o
