FATECRIMES ‘Summer Thunder’

FATECRIMES’ “Summer Thunder” is the audio equivalent of staring out a car window with dramatic eyeliner and big feelings. It's stormy, cinematic, and just a little unhinged — in the best, most cathartic way. Think poetic teenage angst meets polished alt-pop energy. If you’re into songs that feel like a hug and a plot twist, hit play immediately.

Lizzie Thomas ‘Awakening’

“Awakening” unfolds with soulful conviction, reminding us it’s never too late to choose anew. Lizzie Thomas’ warm vocals and the Harlem String Quartet’s elegance create a spellbinding embrace. Its mantra, “Harmony restores abundance,” lingers like a key turning toward possibility.

AKIRA ‘La Del Ladrón’

AKIRA’s Niños del Bosque is a mesmerizing debut that blends Latin American roots with lush, modern psychedelia. Each track feels like a journey through heritage, resilience, and dreamlike soundscapes. Standout “La Del Ladrón” hits hard with its sharp social critique and raw self-reflection.

Senior Dunce ‘Romantic LLM’

Imagine if Her had a dancefloor—and The Midnight was the DJ. That’s what “Romantic LLM” feels like: neon grooves, heartfelt vocals, and the kind of bittersweet future-pop that’ll make you want to text your ex and your chatbot.

Cybèle ‘In Another Life’

Imagine if Destiny, Soul, and Jazz walked into a room together and started making music — that’s “In Another Life”. Cybèle’s voice floats effortlessly above lush instrumentation, turning a simple ballad into a dramatic, cinematic love story you can’t help but binge on repeat. It’s emotional, elegant, and downright addictive.

Callum Sutton ‘Give You Something’

Callum Sutton’s “Give You Something” feels like a sermon at a Saturday night bar—equal parts grit, groove, and grace. It’s the sound of old-school soul catching a second wind. By the end, you’re both lifted and lit up.

Casey Dienel ‘Your Girl’s Upstairs’

Imagine your ex writes a song about you, but it’s too good to be mad about—yep, that’s “Your Girl’s Upstairs.” Casey Dienel turns emotional labor into a rock ballad, with ghostly guitars, sly vocals, and a chorus that somehow soothes and stings at the same time.
