Wyn Starks’ new single ‘Coco’ is a track calling you to sit in its comfort. It isn’t chasing a hook for the sake of it, or leaning on studio polish to do the emotional heavy lifting. Instead, it sounds like something Starks needed to say, and happened to set to a beat you can’t help

Feeling like a deep-cut out of a Bob Dylan album, ‘The Flow’, by Michael Landgarten And The Converts, is from their new album, ‘The Long Highway’, released on the 26th of June. The track was recorded live in York, Maine, in the hand-built barn studio belonging to drummer, Robbie Kneeland. The soaring ceilings and wood

Released on the 3rd of July, ‘Surf Spot Steamer Lane’ is the new single from Charlottesville, Virginia songwriter, Stephen Jacques. The melody brings with it a nostalgic feeling, reminiscent of all the very best surf-rock tracks, with its jangly guitars and steady drumbeat. But Jacques’ vocals themselves are something else, calling on a late 70s/early

Coffeshop returns with ‘California Summer Dream’, a pop anthem that brings in the summer season, along with all that comes of the Southern California coast. The words ‘California Summer Dream’ conjure up salty breezes, sand crunching between the toes, and waves crashing gently on the shore, and with Coffeeshop’s new single, listeners are invited to

Continuing to break the mould, GaREE ALL returns with his latest single, the very amusing, ‘I Just Can’t Afford YOUR Love’, which draws on snippets from real life encounters, as well as from his own imagination.

In 1999, Napster was launched. In 2001, iTunes was launched. In 2003, the iTunes Store was launched. The music industry didn’t just start selling digital products in those years – it also invented the rules for making digital entertainment. Small purchases, quick delivery, personalised recommendations and a session-based experience. Everything that came after it was

Approaching songwriting like the master craftsman that he is, Robbie Mangiardi‘s style has come from years of paying close attention to everything around him. His new single, ‘Crack Of Light’, is the culmination of these observations. ‘Crack Of Light’, selected by Bill Bentley at Americana Highways as “Song Of The Month” in May, follows on

‘Lone Wolf Party’, from Sputnik The Band, feels like a re-discovery of an angsty 90s indie-rock number, and yet it still holds its own in this current era of late-stage capitalism. Comprising the airy-voiced Genie Morrow, and mega-talented multi-instrumentalist, Nigel Rawles, Sputnik The Band has been drifting like satellites through the music scenes of New

Hanna Andrea’s upcoming EP is her most vulnerable yet powerful offering to date – distilling a moment of real personal growth into a tight, narrative‑driven collection of songs. Blending polished pop with cinematic emotion, she reflects on self‑acceptance, pressure, and the courage to stay true to yourself. With her single Get Off Your Phone already

There’s a strange intimacy to watching a pop artist strip everything away. Last night at London’s Century Club, 19-year-old Czech singer-songwriter Thera gathered a room of industry faces for a preview of her forthcoming live EP, everywhere, all at once. Before Thera appeared, the room buzzed with its own warm-up act: England’s World Cup Round

Following the announcement of her leading role in upcoming action film LOTUS, Qymira is stepping back into another luminous layer of her creative endeavours.

Set for release on the 5th of July, ‘Zindagi Redux’ is the upcoming album from Ebrahim Nazari. Marking a new chapter in this artist’s journey through self-discovery, this much anticipated fourth album takes a sharp turn from his previous releases, which focused on themes of introspection, confusion, disillusionment, and personal exploration, and instead embrace romance,

If you’ve ever begun a sentence with, “I shouldn’t be saying this, but…”, Janet Devlin has already written your soundtrack. Her latest single, ‘Diane’, isn’t just another country tale of heartbreak or revenge. Instead, it gleefully dives headfirst into the deliciously messy world of village gossip, where every whispered conversation somehow becomes tomorrow’s headline. It’s

Out on the 17th of July, ‘Long Time Coming’ is the debut album from independent pop and electronic artist, Loraine.

Ever spent hours, maybe even days, trying to beat one boss in a video game? You try, you fail, you learn a little something, and then you try again. Finally, you succeed. That feeling of triumph is one of the best parts of gaming. It might seem odd, but a tough challenge often keeps players

At the centre of some of today’s most intoxicating pop-meets-dancefloor moments is SHAB, the hitmaker behind the Billboard-charting single ‘It’s On You’. With her enthralling new release, ‘Perfume’, she ventures into exciting new territory – hypnotic, kinetic, and irresistibly playful. Infused with Persian influences and drawing inspiration from her heritage through evocative string arrangements, the

The best music videos always deepen a song, pushing past the music into something that lingers long after the screen goes dark. Rachael Sage’s latest video for ‘Nexus (Acoustic)’, the newly reimagined, stripped-back version of the NYC folk-pop artist’s fan-beloved track, firmly achieves that. It is one of the most quietly devastating and genuinely beautiful

To be hailed as the Basquiat of anything is a massive honour; but that’s exactly what the New York Times did when they described Storyboard P as “The Basquiat of street dancing“, back in 2022. An artist who has risen like a phoenix from a turbulent upbringing in New York, Storyboard P has built his

The brainchild of two very different musical minds, Sgt. Splendor has nonetheless never sounded like a compromise, but rather more like two fully formed creative worlds, united by a shared Southwestern upbringing, which has found unexpected common ground. Kate Vargas and Eric McFadden had each long carved out their own distinct musical lanes, with Vargas
