CURIOUS
FOR MUSIC.

"honest," the new single from Blue Capricorn and LOREN KOLE, is a study in musical restraint and emotional precision. The track, a collaboration between the experimental indie artist and the Cuban-American producer, is a compelling piece of Latin indie-pop that succeeds by prioritizing atmosphere and lyrical vulnerability over overt hooks or grand gestures. It is a sophisticated offering that reveals new layers with each listen. Musically, the track is built on a foundation o

Strascha's “Hack” arrives like a beautifully controlled explosion. A collision of industrial pop, alternative pop and pop rock, the track takes emotional overload and turns it into something immediate, noisy and exhilarating. There is attitude in abundance, but beneath the bravado sits something considerably more human: a song born from anger, sadness and the decision to turn difficult feelings into creative fuel. The circumstances behind “Hack” almost seem too perfect for th

There is something wonderfully perverse about being told to have a “Happy Friday” when the day itself appears determined to make that proposition impossible. A Project Called Love turns that familiar contradiction into the central spark of their new single, transforming irritation, exhaustion, and everyday absurdity into something surprisingly celebratory. “Happy Friday” is not so much a song about having a good day as it is about refusing to let a bad one have the final word

Seductive and rhythmically charged, ‘One Night’ captures the electricity of walking into a room knowing all eyes are on you. Rather than placing Mila in pursuit of somebody else, the track reverses the dynamic and puts her firmly in control of who gets

Now, the blues-rock force turns that philosophy into ‘Chasing Dreams’, the latest single from his forthcoming album Lost In Creation. Set for release on October 30, Lost In Creation represents an expanded new chapter for the fiercely independent artist, with ‘Chasing Dreams’ combining his trademark blues grit and vintag

Pop music doesn't need to reinvent dancing. Sometimes it simply needs to give you a convincing reason to start. Slay Raché understands that instinct on ‘You Make Me Wanna Dance’, a bright, swaggering collision of 80s dance-pop nostalgia and contemporary R&B confidence that remembers something occasionally forgotten in the pursuit of modernity: a great pop song should be immediate. Inspired by seeing the Michael Jackson musical in New York with her fiancé, the track wears its

Following breakout tracks ‘Timeless’ and ‘Stuffin’, which have collectively generated millions of streams, V1V1D is beginning to establish his place within a new generation of hip-hop artists moving between contemporary trap and atmospheric rap. ‘Tongue

New York-born, Los Angeles-based alt-pop artist Michelle Kash has returned with her compelling new single, ‘Salvation.’ An upbeat yet emotionally charged dance-pop track, the release explores the fragile, high-stakes space between breaking down and breaking through, combining Kash's signature smoky, soulful vocals with sleek synth-driven production to turn a personal low point into an uplifting reminder of resilience. Known for crafting a distinct sonic world that feels a

Rising artist Ava Renn returns with ‘Sellout’s Prelude’, an ethereal new single exploring the fragile space between self-destruction and self-preservation. Blending cinematic pop, haunting vocals and hypnotic production, the track offers another glimpse into Renn’s forthcoming second studio album, You Want Love, a project documenting a journey through emotional darkness in search of healing. Dreamy and seductive on the surface, ‘Sellout’s Prelude’ carries considerably heavier

Photo Credit: Lea Duque There is an obvious contradiction in placing God and 666 inside the same song. For Alysha, that contradiction is exactly where things become interesting. On ‘Take It or Leave It’, the London-based artist takes faith somewhere it isn't usually expected to go, surrounding spiritual reflection with shadowy synths, gothic tension and nocturnal electronics. The result isn't a rejection of religious music so much as an argument that songs about belief don't

Photo Credit: Marjolein Nooijen Some songs belong to a particular place. ‘Con C.Alma (Dub Reggae Remix)’ seems more interested in collecting stamps in its passport. Amana Melome’s latest release has travelled an unusually long creative distance. Its foundations began with Amana's own vocal sketch, moved through Los Angeles with producer Saverio Principini and pianist Deron Johnson, took shape as a Latin-jazz composition, carried its vocals to Marbella and has now landed in A

Cover art credit: Giacomo Cambria Following chart success across Europe and releases on some of dance music's premier record labels, internationally supported producer DJ Sparadise has officially unveiled his vibrant new collaboration with singer-songwriter ANI, titled ‘See U Again.’ An uplifting summer anthem that seamlessly blends contagious dancefloor energy with a crystalline pop melody, ‘See U Again’ bottles the bittersweet anticipation of reconnecting with someone after

Some dreams are abandoned. Others simply refuse to leave. On ‘Evergreen’, Steve Stinson explores the passions that survive careers, responsibilities and changing circumstances, the things pushed aside by life but still waiting when we eventually return to them. For Stinson, that constant has been music. Born in Stillwater, Oklahoma, raised between the United States and Australia and now based in Papua New Guinea, his life has involved considerable movement and reinvention. So

Jealousy rarely arrives with dignity. It makes comparison irresistible, turns strangers into competition and has an unpleasant habit of convincing you that somebody else possesses everything you lack. On ‘Lose’, Clarity Liao doesn't attempt to make that feeling prettier than it is. She does, however, make it surprisingly fun to listen to. The focus single from forthcoming debut EP Dear…, ‘Lose’ finds the emerging singer-songwriter confronting the possibility that somebody she

There is something particularly fitting about “Love Me Not” being born from a robocall. In the hands of Atticus Kane, an aggressively banal fragment of modern political life becomes the spark for a song about identity, immigration and the complicated business of loving a country that can make you feel like an outsider. The result is a brisk, guitar-driven piece that wears its political concerns lightly while allowing them to deepen with every listen. Kane’s biography gives th

Dead Horse have always seemed comfortable making listeners uncomfortable, but ‘I Would Die’ finds the London trio approaching unease from an unexpected direction. Rather than leaning heavily on the surreal humour and absurdity that have characterised much of their work, they turn towards something potentially even more dangerous: complete sincerity. The latest preview of debut album Caught The Nonsense, due 11 September via Sister 9 Records, is ostensibly a love song. In Dead

“The Intangible Man” begins from an idea that is both simple and quietly unnerving: what happens to a person after they are no longer here to contradict the versions of them that survive? Melody Briar turns that question into an elegy with an unusually philosophical cast. The song is rooted in personal grief, but it is less a diary entry than an examination of how memory behaves under pressure. Its subject is not simply death, but the peculiar afterlife of personality. Briar

Max Macready’s new single ‘The Hunt’ feels like a transmission arriving from somewhere just beyond our own timeline. The UK duo combine synthwave, darkwave, electronic and post-punk into a sound that feels cinematic without losing its sense of urgency. From the first moments, there is a strong impression of neon streets, distant machinery and radio signals travelling through the darkness. The track’s greatest strength is its atmosphere. Max Macready builds the foundation with

NOAH wastes no time getting to the point on ‘MOVE YA BODY’. Built around infectious rhythms, an instantly memorable chant and a collision of Brazilian funk, amapiano, gqom and EDM-pop, the rising artist's latest single is an uncomplicated invitation to forget everything else and dance. Born in London, raised in Ethiopia and now based back in the UK capital, NOAH brings a genuinely cross-cultural perspective to his music. African influences sit naturally alongside contemporary

Clarity Liao transforms everything she never said into something beautifully intimate on ‘Have You’, a tender bedroom-pop confession that captures the particular heartbreak of loving someone who never quite realises how much they mean to you. Taken from her forthcoming seven-track EP Dear…, the single feels less like a conventional pop song and more like stumbling across a letter that was never supposed to be read. Having written music since the age of seven, Liao has already
