Sasha Joy’s new single “To Stay” is the kind of song that makes you stop scrolling and actually pay attention. She doesn’t need tricks or a wall of production to grab you. Her voice alone does the work. The track blends soul, R&B, and funk in a way that feels natural, not forced. Joy sings …
AC Scott’s second single is a gut-punch wrapped in piano. Starting quiet and intimate, the song builds into something massive, mirroring how quickly fame rises and falls. She sings with real authority about watching people get their moment in the spotlight only to disappear just as fast. The Warhol reference lands because Scott isn’t trying …
Sugar Scars are back with their sophomore album, and it’s honestly a blast to experience. “Dark Spark – White Light” refuses to stay in one lane, which is exactly why it works so well, and you won’t be able to neatly label these songs, and honestly, that’s the whole point. The band sounds genuinely excited …
ALL I LIVE FOR’s second album is seriously impressive. It was released on Halloween 2025, and to be honest, this record proves the band has genuinely evolved since their debut. The guitar work is punishing when it needs to be, but the band never loses sight of the human side of things. ‘Give Me A …
If you’ve ever felt the sting of someone you care about letting you down, Noella Rain’s “Running Dry” will hit you right in the gut, and this acoustic track doesn’t waste time with production flourishes, it gets straight to the heart of what matters: raw, honest emotion.

The song opens with acoustic guitar that immediately draws you in. John sings like someone who’s lived through everything he’s writing about, …
You know that moment when an artist surprises you in a really good way? That’s what happens when you hit play on “ISwoon”. The Numb Project has carved out a name for themselves with darker, heavier production, so this track is a complete left turn into sunnier territory. Chris Calarco produced this one, and he’s …
Trust me when I say this, if you need a Christmas song that actually gets people excited to celebrate, “It’s Christmas Party Time” by Mick J. Clark is your answer. Mick is a skilful artist and he knows how to write lines that stay in your head for hours, and you just need to hear …
Shelita’s new single stops you in your tracks. There’s real emotion packed into this love song, and you can tell it matters because she literally started writing it while recovering in a hospital bed. That’s not just a backstory, it’s the whole point. The production sits somewhere between Pop, R&B, and classic Hip Hop, and …

It shows in how relaxed and natural everything sounds here. The track doesn’t try to be fancy or complicated. It’s …
Bailey Grey’s debut LP is genuinely good. There’s no overstuffed production trying to compensate for weak songs, no gimmicks. Just a person who moved from acting to music and clearly found where she belongs. The album bounces between different sounds (jazzy pop, blues, alt-rock) but it never feels scattered. “Out in Under” has this groovy …
Scott’s Tees put together a bedroom recording that sounds exactly like a bedroom recording, and I mean that as a compliment. This Edmonton solo artist used a Tascam and Audacity to capture “We Move As Fast As Storms Allow”, and you can tell every part was carefully considered even if the equipment wasn’t fancy. The …
Shweta Harve asks a question most of us avoid looking at too closely, and she’s made me think about it more than I expected, and her second collaboration with Dario Cei has this reflective quality that sneaks up on you; her vocals sound genuine and unforced, and the production has enough polish to keep things …
La Need Machine pulled off a pretty cool trick with this one. You start listening and think you’re hearing a love song to a partner, but then it hits you, they are actually talking about rock music itself. Both work perfectly, and that is where the fun is. The Seattle group gets right to business …
David Palfreyman’s latest album is a proper blend of rock and folk that doesn’t waste your time, and the songs are well-written, and the players he’s brought in know their stuff. David Clayton, who spent two decades with Simply Red, plays keys and adds real depth to the arrangements. Ben Miles, yeah, the actor from …
Morten Alsinger’s debut as TRALALAS is a proper return to form for someone who’s been kicking around Denmark’s underground for years. “Ornament” gives you nine tracks of dark pop that actually earn the label: this is moody stuff, but it’s got backbone. The singles “Winter on the Vine” and “Burns” are strong entry points, but …
LESS pulls off a fun early 2000s throwback on her latest single without making it sound like a nostalgia trip. The song has bite to it. Her lyrics lean into irony in a way that actually lands, and you can tell she’s having fun with the writing. Her voice sits clear in the mix, direct …
