CURIOUS
FOR MUSIC.

Carlos Gu has become one of the UK’s most recognisable television personalities, but this July he is stepping into a new role as co-presenter of East & Southeast Asian Pride UK. Taking place at Electrowerkz in London on 24 July 2026, the event is dedicated to celebrating queer East and Southeast Asian communities through performance, connection and cultural exchange. The professional dancer, who made history as Strictly Come Dancing’s first Asian and openly gay champion, has

Earlier this year, Andreea Stan, a Bucharest-based singer-songwriter, announced the release of her single “Get Away With Murder”; an indie-rock single shaped by a balance of raw emotional overload and a dramatic, dark, rock edge. The track establishes its atmosphere almost immediately with a strong guitar riff, drawing listeners into a world of reclaiming power and refusing to be quiet; the tension is killing me. Musically, I believe that Stan’s vocal performance is the ke

Emerging indie pop artist Julia Sommerfield officially steps into the spotlight with her debut single “Ratata,” a darkly atmospheric release that blends cinematic storytelling with deeply personal emotion. Now streaming across major platforms, the track introduces the Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter as a compelling new voice within the alternative pop landscape. Originally from Seattle, Sommerfield’s artistic journey began early. She wrote her first original song at just

Astor's “Lift Him Up” doesn’t ask for attention so much as it commands stillness. The Danish-Spanish producer and songwriter operates in a space where electronic pop becomes something closer to emotional architecture; built from steel-grey synths, industrial pulse, and a vocal delivery that never quite settles between confession and control. It’s music that feels designed for headphones at 2 a.m., but built to expand into something cathedral-sized. There’s a sense of continui

With Alice In Underland, Beverly Hell invites listeners into a beautifully distorted dreamscape where fantasy and reality intertwine. The Los Angeles-based singer, producer, and multimedia artist unveils a debut EP rich in atmosphere and artistic intention, presenting six tracks that chart both a creative awakening and a personal evolution. Inspired by the surreal imagery of Lewis Carroll’s classic tale, the project transforms familiar symbols into a contemporary meditation

UKofA delivers a deeply textural and genre-fluid experience on Time Will Take This All Away From Us, an album that feels designed as much for headphones as it does for immersive visual spaces. From the outset, it’s clear this is a project rooted in sound design as much as songwriting. The production palette is incredibly diverse, pulling from ambient electronics, fragmented hip-hop sampling, alternative rock instrumentation, and experimental noise. Yet instead of feeling scat

Few bands manage to capture the spirit of classic mod culture with the same effortless charm as The Chelsea Curve, and The Rideout may be their strongest statement yet. The album feels vibrant from the opening moments, balancing razor-sharp hooks with a loose, celebratory energy that makes every track feel lived-in rather than overly calculated. There’s an undeniable confidence running through the record, the sound of a band fully comfortable in their identity yet still eager

Belgium-based queer indie-pop artist ROIL arrives with Living Outside the Closet, a debut that feels simultaneously diaristic and cinematic. Across eleven tracks, the project captures the emotional turbulence of identity, heartbreak, masculinity, and healing with an honesty that rarely feels performative. Rather than romanticising pain, ROIL frames it as an unavoidable companion to growth, allowing vulnerability to become the album’s defining texture. The project’s greatest s

The title says everything. "Here To Stay" finds Edwina van Kuyk making her intentions unmistakably clear, delivering a single that combines ambition, craftsmanship, and emotional resonance in equal measure. As her most expansive release to date, it marks a significant step forward for an artist whose upward trajectory shows no signs of slowing. Produced by Cian O'Donoghue, the track draws from pop, soul, and gospel traditions while maintaining a contemporary edge. The arrange

Tibo Step's latest single, Slowdive, is a beautifully immersive piece of late-night introspection that showcases the Geneva-born, London-based artist at his most refined and emotionally resonant. Released via Bagheera Records, the track effortlessly blends trip-hop influences with shimmering textures and understated songwriting, creating a listening experience that feels both deeply personal and universally relatable. From the opening moments, Slowdive establishes an atmosphe

Pop music lives and dies by authenticity, and Luchino seems to understand that better than most emerging artists right now. His latest release, My Whole Life, arrives with glossy production and arena-ready hooks, but beneath its polished surface is something surprisingly genuine. Instead of leaning into exaggerated heartbreak tropes or algorithm-friendly theatrics, Luchino delivers a track grounded in emotional realism — and that’s exactly what makes it stick. The song opens

Their debut single, “No Intention,” arrives as a vibrant, emotionally charged introduction to a bold new chapter of their creative journey. Blending the high-octane urgency of classic pop-punk with the sharp introspection of modern alt-pop, the tr
