Ravi.O, known for his roots in Universal Music Latin and collaborations with legends like Nicky Jam, has long danced between cultures. Born to Italian and Puerto Rican parents and now living out his K-entertainment dreams as a TV host, Ravi.O continues his mission of musical diplomacy—this time, through pain, passion, and partnership.

“With a broken heart and no answers, I recorded this with tears running down my face”, Ravi.O admits about the track.

Enter: Jiwon, ex-member of K-pop girl group Botopass. After stepping away from the idol spotlight, she wasn’t planning a comeback—until Ravi.O showed up.

The result is a raw, emotional ballad that melds Latin pop drama with Korean melodic depth. Think: NSYNC meets Dreamcatcher in a Seoul café at midnight.

“This is the first time I wrote both the lyrics and the melody myself”, says Jiwon. “It’s my first real release as me, not as part of a group. I’m so thankful to Ravi for encouraging me to take this step.”

“Abyss of Love” is a cultural handshake, a vulnerable diary entry, and a bridge between genres that rarely get to cry together. With sweeping strings, bilingual lyrics, and harmonies that hit like a wave, it’s a journey through heartbreak with no passport required.

Flying in from the cosmic good-vibes planet of POMAN, this masked superhero of sound is back with a track that says: You didn’t just survive. You leveled up.

An explosion of positive energy, “WINNER” is a cry of victory, inner power, and love for life. This is not your average bop. This is a motivational battle cry you can dance to.

Shot between Los Angeles and Mexico, it’s dripping in rhythm, light, and emotion. Every frame pulses with hope. Every beat says:
You were born for this.

“No matter what it takes for, nacido para esto, esto.”
(Translation: You were born for this, this.)

Originally cooked up for a fictional TV band on Apple TV’s City on Fire, frontman Zach Ellis liked the song so much he kept it for himself. And we’re glad he did. This track blends gritty post-punk chaos with swagger and style, building anticipation for their debut album coming this July.

Dead Tooth isn’t new to chaos—they’ve shared stages with GWAR, Bass Drum of Death, and even rubbed shoulders with Juellz Santana. Their last single, “Birthday Boohoo”, got people talking (and screaming), and now “You Never Do Shit” turns up the volume even louder.

Crank it up, hit play, and embrace the beautiful noise.

Set entirely in a public bathroom, The Writing on the Stall is anything but private. In this whip-smart and wickedly funny one-woman musical, Cook dives into the scrawled messages and mysterious wisdom etched on cubicle walls and turns them into something bold, bizarre, and unexpectedly moving. The songs are catchy, the jokes are razor-sharp, and the show isn’t afraid to get its hands dirty—literally.

Armed with a guitar and a knack for digging gold out of the obscene, Cook crafts a genre-defying hour that’s part stand-up, part cabaret, and all catharsis. This is confessional comedy with clever hooks, pitch-perfect melodies, and enough surprises to keep your eyebrows permanently raised. Expect satire, sincerity, and some surreal props—rumour has it a pair of slingshotted knickers makes a cameo.

Caitlin Cook isn’t your average musical comic. She’s Oxford-educated, New York-hardened, and streaming in the tens of millions. She’s also collaborated with some of comedy’s finest, directed offbeat hits, and performs as one-half of the musical duo 2/3rds of a Threesome. With this new UK run, she’s not just touring a show—she’s building a movement that blurs the lines between comedy, theatre, and performance art.

If you missed her during her Edinburgh frenzy, this is your chance to catch the musical everyone’s been whispering about in pub toilets and shouting about in five-star reviews. You might come for the laughs, but you’ll stay for the songs that (fair warning) may live rent-free in your head for months.

Leading things off is “Déjà Vu,” a sweet-and-sour love song about a romance that spanned across Europe but never quite took off, kind of like booking a first-class ticket to heartbreak. It’s got just the right mix of experimental vibes and catchy pop magic to make you groove while overthinking your past relationships.

The album title, Un Gars Bian, is a cheeky play on words, merging Marseille (city in France) slang for “seagull” (gabian) with “un gars bien” (a nice guy). It’s basically Naud in a nutshell: a free-spirited, big-hearted artist who wants to spread good vibes, reckless creativity, and a touch of joyful madness. And if that wasn’t enough, he’s also launched an Un Gars Bian t-shirt line, because what’s better than wearing your philosophy on your sleeve, literally? Grab yours here!

So, are you ready to embrace the joyful chaos? Un Gars Bian is the perfect excuse to dance like nobody’s watching and live life with a little more mischief. Let’s gooo!

Led by charismatic frontman Charlie Kerr, alongside Clark Grieve (guitar), Mike Noble (bass), and Cole George (drums), HOTEL MIRA has built a reputation for delivering electrifying performances and razor-sharp lyricism. With tracks that dance between Iggy Pop-style hedonism and raw, introspective storytelling, ‘Pity Party’ is an emotional rollercoaster that refuses to slow down.

Coming off extensive tours with Rare Americans and rock legends like Our Lady Peace, the band has proven they’re a force to be reckoned with. Whether you’re looking for an anthem to fuel your wildest nights (‘America’s Favourite Pastime’, ‘Runner’) or a gut-punch of reflection (‘There Goes The Neighbourhood’, ‘Back to the Bedroom’), this album delivers in every way.

Brace yourself – ‘Pity Party’ is the kind of celebration you’ll never forget, and possibly never recover from.

From the very first note, the song sweeps listeners into a cinematic atmosphere filled with big, brassy horns, a rolling piano, electrifying guitar riffs, and the warmth of a Hammond organ. It’s the kind of track that immediately feels timeless—something you could stumble upon on an old jukebox or hear filling the streets of a bustling Southern town. The groove is infectious, pulling you in with its undeniable swing and soul.

At its core, “One Day To Kansas City” is a reflection on the passage of time, the pull of home, and the longing that comes with both leaving and returning. Frazier’s evocative lyrics paint a picture of a man tethered to his roots yet unafraid of where the road might lead.

For those who love the storytelling essence of Americana and folk but crave a little extra soul and vibrancy, this track is a must-listen. It’s refreshing to hear an artist embrace traditional elements while infusing them with new energy.

So, turn up the volume, let the music take you away, and enjoy the journey—just like Frazier intended.

This track oozes that signature new wave melancholy, with echoes of Depeche Mode’s cold, haunting atmospheres and New Order’s percussive drive. But just when you think it’s all doom and gloom, the hypnotic beat pulls you in, making heartbreak feel oddly addictive.

The chorus is pure magic—an industrial-tinged, synth-laden moment that instantly grabs you. It even brings to mind the darkly enchanting world of Thomas Azier, which makes it all the more intoxicating. You can almost picture yourself wandering through a neon-lit, cinematic dreamscape, where nostalgia and modernity collide in perfect harmony.

Doppelhandel has a way of making introspection feel like a night out. “So Many Times” is proof that pain can be danceable, and that sometimes, the best way to process love’s endless contradictions is to lose yourself in the music.
