CURIOUS
FOR MUSIC.

Montreal-born singer-songwriter Melina arrives at Curious For Music with a body of work that feels less like a release cycle and more like a reckoning. Her new EP A London Way Back To Me traces an emotional and geographical arc between Montreal and London, stitched together through vulnerability, reflection, and the quiet discipline of rebuilding oneself. Recorded partly at the legendary Abbey Road Studios, the project captures a moment of arrival that is also, paradoxically,

From psychedelic basslines to groove-heavy house cuts, Indigo Valet has built a sound that refuses to stay in one lane. Pulling influence from Hip Hop while weaving through House, UKG, Bass, and Indie Dance, his productions feel both organic and unpredictable, textured with warm, rounded tones and driven by low-end energy. Whether behind the decks or in the studio, Indy V creates moments that are funky, emotional, sexy, and just the right amount of filthy, keeping crowds lock

Rooted in lived experience and emotional honesty, Danielle Holian has established herself as a compelling voice in contemporary poetry, unafraid to explore the complexities of love, loss, trauma, and healing. Her latest collection, Growing Pains, marks her most intimate and unflinching work to date, tracing a deeply personal journey through domestic violence, identity loss, survival, and ultimately, self-reclamation. Across her writing, Holian transforms difficult lived exper

Singer-songwriter Irem Bekter continues to carve out a singular artistic voice with This Winding Road, a deeply personal and cinematic new release shaped by a life lived across cultures. Drawing on influences from Turkey, England, Argentina, and Québec, the album weaves together themes of migration, memory, resilience, love, and transformation through richly textured soundscapes and multilingual storytelling. In this conversation, Irem Bekter reflects on the creative process

jqime’s “talk to me” doesn’t aim for resolution so much as reflection. Filtering a familiar adolescent narrative through three distinct viewpoints, the band lean into dissonance and ambiguity, allowing contradiction to sit at the centre of the track. It’s a song defined as much by its silences and gaps as its hooks — bright synth lines and restless guitar work that never quite settle. Ahead of the release, we caught up with jqime to talk about perspective, restraint, and why

We speak with A Is For Atom whose latest record was shaped as much by life’s biggest beginnings as its quiet reckonings. Written during a period marked by profound personal change, the album moves between light and shadow, holding hope, uncertainty, and reflection in the same breath. Across walking-driven writing sessions in Brooklyn and Milan, and a collaborative recording process spanning cities and musicians, the project emerges as something both grounded and searching. We

With a sound as vibrant as his tropical roots, Curly Mojo returns with Roads Walked (DANCE MODE), through Silent H Studios. Written, recorded, and performed entirely by the Gimuy (Cairns)-based artist, the track was elevated in Miami by Austin Leeds, resulting in a dynamic fusion of uplifting energy and heartfelt storytelling. Known for delivering a rich, full-band experience as a solo act, Curly Mojo continues to gain momentum worldwide, captivating audiences with music that

Rising artist JD Charisma is carving out a bold space in today’s music landscape with a sound rooted in emotion, cinematic ambition, and fearless authenticity. Blending pop, R&B, and hip-hop, his latest release champions vulnerability as strength and challenges listeners to embrace love without hesitation. In this interview, JD opens up about his creative process, artistic evolution, and the inspiration behind his powerful new era. Welcome to Curious For Music! Can you tell u

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

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

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

Emerging from Los Angeles’ ever-evolving alternative scene, Drypoint are carving out a sound that feels both atmospheric and immediate, balancing moody intensity with a refined, modern edge. With their latest release, the band leans further into dynamic contrasts, expansive textures, and a more deliberate approach to songwriting, signaling a clear evolution from their earlier work. Teaming up once again with producer Gabe VanBenschoten, Drypoint have embraced experimentation

After years working behind the scenes in Hollywood, Tristan Ray is stepping into a new role, this time as the artist. The Los Angeles–based rock musician only began releasing music in 2025, yet with just two singles out, he’s already catching early attention across Spotify’s algorithmic ecosystem. His latest track, “Leap of Faith,” is gaining traction through Radio, Daylist, and personalized playlists, an uncommon pace for an independent artist at this stage. With a backgroun

Independent artist Katie Dauson is ushering in a new era of psychedelic rock with the release of her latest single, “The Company We Keep.” Blending the swirling, technicolour spirit of the 1960s with a distinctly modern creative twist, the track arrives alongside an innovative 3D vinyl picture disc designed to be as visually immersive as it is sonically rich. Complete with custom artwork and 3D glasses, the release transforms a traditional format into a multi-sensory experien

On ‘Drug Opera’, Beverly Hell doesn’t just explore love, she dissects it. The first taste of her upcoming EP Alice In Underland, the single unfolds in two distinct halves, moving from soft, almost dreamlike devotion into something far more volatile and unhinged. It’s a sonic and emotional pivot that captures the intoxicating, and often destructive, nature of romantic fantasy. Known for her trippy, sombre electronic sound, Hell continues to push her artistry into darker, more

Emerging artist ILIA sits down with Curious For Music to discuss his latest release, a striking reinterpretation of Halsey’s “Gasoline,” blending cinematic intensity with raw, alternative energy. Known for his intuitive and visceral approach to songwriting, ILIA channels emotion over calculation, embracing both vulnerability and authenticity in every note. In this interview, he reflects on the challenges of self-doubt, the evolution of his sound toward more anthemic and epic

Fresh off the release of her latest single ‘Love Unknown’, Naiyah opens up about the deeply transformative chapter that shaped her latest release. Written during a period of personal growth, the project captures moments of clarity, softness, and courage as she learned to let go of perfectionism, lean into the unknown, and rediscover self-worth. Drawing on jazz, soul, R&B, and Afro-pop influences, the new music reflects a more confident and expansive sound, enhanced by collabo
