CURIOUS FOR MUSIC: FRESH HITS (06.06.25)

Bringing you music that you should be curious about!

Peter Doran ‘Never Say Goodbye’

Peter Doran’s “Never Say Goodbye” is a breathtaking lead single that distills over two decades of artistry into four minutes of poetic reflection and sonic innovation. The track’s maritime imagery, elevated by its cinematic visual companion, conjures feelings of both loss and eternal connection. Doran’s final blessing—“God Bless The Now And Evermore”—lingers like a prayer, affirming his place as one of the most quietly powerful voices in modern folk.

Seb Adams ‘Rearview Mirror’

Seb Adams kicks off Bittersweet Nostalgia with “Rearview Mirror,” a high-octane anthem that perfectly captures the album’s core themes of release and reinvention. Infused with alt-rock grit and pop-punk urgency, the song fuses youthful angst with adult clarity, reflecting on past struggles without getting stuck in them. It’s a modern coming-of-age track that feels as much like a personal breakthrough as it does a crowd-ready singalong.

Charlie McDonald ‘Time’

"Time" examines our delicate relationship with memory and how time can be both a comfort and a merciless eraser through expansive cinematic arrangements, deep R&B undertones, and an intimate vocal delivery. With its emotionally unvarnished, profoundly atmospheric, and unquestionably human sound, "Time" is a turning point in Charlie McDonald's creative development.

Jack Child ‘On The Road’

Jack Child’s “On The Road” is what happens when raw emotion meets a loop pedal and a drawer full of cutlery. Yes, the percussion is literally made with forks and spoons—but don’t let that fool you. This indie-pop gem is groovy, gut-wrenching, and totally unforgettable. Written at 13 and polished into something stunning in his bedroom, it’s proof that healing and heartbreak can go hand in hand on the same beat.

Vaanya Diva ‘Time To Trade Up’

‘Time To Trade Up’ is more than just a catchy dance record – it’s a declaration of independence. Vaanya Diva steps out from behind the curtain with a fierce self-produced debut that fuses 90s nostalgia with modern-day empowerment. You can hear the sweat and soul in every note, especially knowing it was crafted with just a laptop, her voice, and her raw truth. There’s a confidence in the production that feels earned, not flashy. Fans of Raye or Joel Corry will find a new favorite here – but the real standout is Vaanya’s authenticity. This is the sound of someone finally owning their story.
