Get Ready finds Katie Dauson engaging in a dialogue with rock history while remaining firmly rooted in the present. Her approach is neither nostalgic nor revisionist; instead, it reflects a deep respect for form paired with a willingness to personalise it. The song unfolds as a confident statement of artistic identity. The sonic palette is deceptively simple. Rhythm guitar and harmonica form the backbone, but their interaction is dynamic, constantly shifting in emphasis. Daus

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

Sean Maljanian’s SunSkip returns with “Sincerely,” a single that subtly flexes his growth without feeling forced. If his previous EP, Smoke and Mirrors , thrived on quiet introspection, this latest offering opens up, embracing movement, texture, and an understated alt-country momentum. There’s still intimacy at its core, but moments of looseness and joy make it clear: SunSkip isn’t reinventing himself for the sake of it—he’s evolving on his own terms. “Sincerely” tells the st

Rising experimental producer Textbook Maneuver kicks off 2026 with the ethereal release of Murmur 3 Home (Radio Edit), premiering alongside a dreamy, visually striking music video via his Life Science Records imprint.

With nearly 150,000 streams across pla

In a music industry often defined by spectacle, Maeve Alexander’s “Nailbiter” offers an almost radical intimacy. Emerging from the aftermath of a seven-year friendship, the song is a meticulous study of emotional erosion—how bonds dissolve not with a bang, but with the quiet, insistent friction of absence. From the first arpeggiated guitar note, there’s a sense that this is a song written in real time, as much a diary entry as a pop single. Alexander’s strength lies in her ab

Following the acclaimed The Journey and Darkness , this third release under his moniker signals a deeper dive into sonic world-building—one driven by curiosity, intensity, and ambition. At its core, Atmospheres is a collision of forms. Drum & bass and jungle loops provide kinetic propulsion, while heavy rock elements inject a visceral edge. The track unfolds cinematic

There’s something magical about a song that’s been years in the making, and “Lady Moon” by Chapters of Forever is exactly that. Originally written in early 2020 by Alex Pazos and Pedro Martínez, the track finally sees the light of day after a five-year journey of distance, growth, and rediscovery. The story behind it is just as compelling as the music itself. Formed in Puebla, Mexico, during their music school days, Alex and Pedro started their collaboration with this very so

There’s something quietly disarming about Anna Mozzon. At just 15 years old, the Italian newcomer isn’t chasing pop trends, she’s shaping moments. Her music lives in the space between restraint and release, where a single piano line can carry as much weight as a full-blown chorus. Her debut single ‘Innocent’ doesn’t arrive with theatrics. Instead, it unfolds patiently, recorded in New York in August 2025 and brought to life by producer Vadim Zariuta, with vocal production fro

“Big Big Tinz” sees Nigerian-born Dantiti reaffirm his knack for blending Afrobeats, Afrofusion, rap, and R&B into a vibrant, infectious sound.

There’s a playful optimism in Dantiti’s vocal delivery that elevates the song beyond a simple dance track, giving it warmth and personality. Dantiti’s journey from Benin Ci

Walter Miller kicks the door in with “Basic Instinct,” a glam-charged blast of pop-rock swagger that feels built for the biggest stage he can find. The Louisiana-born firestarter folds the glitz of ’70s and ’80s arena rock into the gloss of modern pop, swinging between Freddie Mercury flamboyance and Prince-level bravado while keeping everything unmistakably his own. It’s theatrical, it’s confident, and it’s the kind of track that makes you understand exactly why his live cro

OUTER slips back into our headphones with “Svartsengi,” a second glimpse of the forthcoming Glowing Mountains in the Sky , and it’s a return that feels both intimate and tectonic. The Belgian composer-producer once again navigates the borderlands between contemporary classical, ambient post-rock and shadowy chamber pop, but this time he lets the edges smudge a little more. The result lands somewhere between a whispered confession and a widescreen landscape—fans of Sigur Rós,

Close to Monday return with a retro-futurist shimmer on “Breakdown Simulations,” a track that leans into analog grit while bathing everything in a dreamy, slow-burn glow. The production feels like a lost broadcast from the dawn of electro-pop—warm, grainy, and hypnotic—yet there’s this bold, modern edge cutting through the haze. Their vocalist floats just above the mix, a soft but steady guide through the collision of colours and textures, giving the whole piece a sort of int

K3RPAT has always operated in that sweet spot where nostalgia brushes up against the future, and ‘Is It A Yes Is It A No’ captures that balance better than ever. Instead of leaning purely on the glossy bravado of EDM or the chic cool of French house, the French producer threads the two together, creating a track that feels alive, intuitive, and surprisingly emotional. From the opening bars, there’s a sense of movement - not just rhythm, but motion. Layered synths glide like h
