Lulu Leloup’s March  lands as a beautifully understated exploration of love, loss, and everything that exists in between. The Beirut/Dubai-based singer-songwriter taps into a vintage jazz and blues aesthetic, but filters it through a modern lens that feels refreshingly honest. The result is a project that feels both timeless and entirely of the moment. Across the EP, Lulu’s songwriting shines with a natural conversational tone. There’s an ease to the way she delivers lines th

There’s a cinematic glow to Sky Fish Fly , the latest offering from kazaizen, that feels both intimate and otherworldly.  Jonny Kasai crafts a universe where sound becomes texture, mood, and movement—an immersive listening experience that unfolds like a dream you don’t quite want to wake from. The album opens with a swirl of colour and rhythm. “Nanoo Nanoo” and “Make It Love” pulse with a hypnotic energy, balancing groove and haze in equal measure. It’s music that feels tacti

Calling Manic Waves a debut feels almost misleading. Billy Peake arrives with the accumulated instincts of a veteran songwriter, yet the record carries the energy of someone newly freed from expectation. It’s a late-career first statement that behaves less like introduction and more like correction. His history in earlier bands provides context but not constraint. Those years in respected Columbus projects and festival circuits feel less like a foundation being built upon and

Heather Ferguson’s “Broken Horned Kudu” is a masterful blend of jazz sensibilities and world music textures, resulting in a track that feels simultaneously intimate and expansive. From the opening notes, Ferguson’s voice guides the listener through a rich sonic landscape, grounded in the traditions of Cape Jazz and layered with rhythmic foundations drawn from Southern Africa. The production allows every element to breathe, giving both the ensemble and Ferguson’s vocals space

Formed in Germany, Brunhilde have emerged as one of the most electrifying forces in modern European hard rock. Fusing hard rock grit with heavy metal muscle and a punk-fuelled attitude, the band’s sound is both ferocious and fiercely melodic. Fronted by the magnetic Caro Loy, Brunhilde channel empowerment, defiance, and raw emotional release into anthems that resonate with unapologetic intensity. Their latest single, “Rising From The Ashes,” arrives as a bold statement of int

FM Experiment’s latest single “Fly” feels less like a standalone track and more like a moment of suspension, an arresting pause in midair where motion, meaning, and momentum collide. As a preview of their forthcoming conceptual album Icarus, it captures the trio at their most ambitious, threading together improvisation and intention into something both cerebral and deeply felt. From the outset, “Fly” establishes a hypnotic pulse. Intricate drum patterns lock into a steady, al

Peterborough’s most distinctive dance music destination, UNDER, has unveiled the full lineup for its highly anticipated Early May Bank Holiday Weekender, returning on 1st–3rd May 2026 beneath the Nene Parkway Flyover at Nene Park. Across three days and nights, more than 60 artists will perform across tech house, house, and drum & bass showcases, transforming the dramatic underpass into one of the UK’s most unique open-air dancefloors.

For over two decades, Myshkin has been weaving stories through music that is at once cinematic, intimate, and slyly mischievous. Her latest album, Hot Night in Paris, brings together songs she’s honed across years of touring and performance, finally capturing them in a horn-soaked, rhythmically rich collection that spans swing, tango, and second-line parade. Known for her taut narrative writing and silk-and-steel alto, Myshkin reflects on the intersections of place, memory, a

With Sunshine , Kanu Chauhan stakes her claim as one of the most exciting new independent artists emerging. Originally from Ghaziabad, India, Kanu’s migration to UK in 2022 catalyzed an evolution in her sound, combining her personal narrative with a cosmopolitan musical sensibility. The single, three minutes and twelve seconds of warm, uplifting pop, is a perfect calling card for an artist ready to connect with a global audience. The song opens with bright, sunlit melodies, i

After years of writing and performing, Liam Pilmore is finally telling his own story, and he’s doing it in a way that feels refreshingly understated. His new single Light leans into space, restraint, and emotional honesty, offering a softer, more intimate take on modern pop. Rather than going big, Pilmore focuses on the small moments, the lingering feeling of absence, the quiet weight of memory, and lets those ideas breathe through stripped-back arrangements and a gentle voca
