Award-winning New Zealand songwriter/singer/producer Aroly Tariq presents her self-directed and animated film clip for her latest single “Perspective”. The Melbourne-based artist is one half of the duo Audego, and has collaborated with acts such as Funkstörung, Coy Haste (Caribou), Pasobionic, and Joelistics.

A mellow alt-pop/electronic track that utilizes RnB melodies with gentle trap-inspired beats, “Perspective” is the Melbourne-based artist’s third single as a solo artist and producer, which weaves her music with traditional and AI art and abstract animation, the early genesis of which can be seen on her 2016 video for “Side Effects” (watch on Youtube).

Aroly has performed at festivals such as CMW, St Kilda Fest, Melbourne Music Week and Peats Ridge. Tariq says the meaning behind her new track is “based on the point-of-view shift of, ‘don’t be sad it’s gone, be grateful it happened,’ and I wanted the sonic movements to represent that. I produced and visually created everything, which is a beautiful way to execute a concept, because there’s no artistic compromise, as opposed to working collaboratively with others. I’m loving how much I learn about production with every song I make. For example, I never thought I would use a horn sample, but this song really would be empty without it, and it’s also a reminder that songs tend to write themselves and find their own way as they grow.” “Perspective” is out now on Equity Distribution.

Hip-hop has always evolved through experimentation, and Supreme Da Almighty brings that mindset to his 2026 album Visions of Optimism.

Across 16 tracks, Supreme blends his own ideas, lyrics, and production with AI, resulting in a project that explores different sounds without abandoning its hip-hop foundation. The album stretches from soothing and melodic moments to energetic beats, creating a diverse musical experience filled with emotion.

Supreme’s connection to the culture runs deep. Along with being a producer, he is a promoter for legendary Snowgoons and the founder of The Supreme Da Almighty Show, giving him a perspective on hip-hop that goes beyond simply making records.

That experience comes through on Visions of Optimism. Conscious influences meet uplifting themes, rich musical arrangements, and modern production ideas throughout the project.

Instead of choosing between hip-hop tradition and new technology, Supreme Da Almighty brings the two worlds together. Visions of Optimism feels like exactly what its title suggests: a positive look toward where music can go next.
