Independent pop artist, singing teacher, and dedicated mother Christine Tarquinio returned with a new single titled “New Year’s Day”. Known for her honest and meaningful lyrics paired with catchy melodies, Christine continues to be a beloved figure in the Melbourne music scene. Teaming up with production alchemist Daniel Nieberg, who produced, mixed, and mastered the track, “New Year’s Day” beautifully captures the enthusiasm and reflection that accompany the arrival of a new year.

Christine masterfully conveys the sense of hope and expectation that infuses everyone’s New Year’s resolutions, only to be tempered by the inevitable return to our regular routines. This duality is reflected in the song’s growth and evolution, mirroring Christine’s own journey through a series of profound life events over the past few months.

“I wrote ‘New Year’s Day’ at the beginning of this year, feeling like nothing had changed despite the new calendar. But as the months have gone on, I’ve had moments that have truly altered how I appreciate life’s little things. This song reflects both the hope and the reality that new year’s bring,” Christine shares.

Drawing inspiration from artists like Natalie Imbruglia, Gwen Stefani, and Jewel, Christine channels her everyday experiences as a mum and wife into her music. Her style, described as honest and open, resonates with the raw emotions of Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Billie Eilish, and Lana Del Rey. Her music exudes a sense of love and genuineness, making it both relatable and fresh.

Beyond her music, Christine is passionate about teaching singing and coaching her young daughter’s soccer team. She also encourages her son’s musicality, supporting his involvement in school productions. Looking ahead, Christine aims to release more singles and explore diverse soundscapes while maintaining her independence as a musician. As she approaches nearly ten years since her first release, Christine eagerly anticipates the next decade of her musical journey.

French singer Yseult has released FREAK, her third studio album, out now through her own label, Y.Y.Y. The 12 track record arrived on October 30, 2026, and it presents the artist fully in command of her work, writing, shaping and releasing the album on her own terms.

The tracklist runs Daddy (intro), 1-800 Adults Only, Heart Attack, Freak featuring JT, S#xx, Is It a Crime, Superstar, Dear God, S#x Youself, Now or Never, One More Time and a closing original version of Freak. One More Time was co-written with Rachel West, Jarrett Goodly, known as Sensei Bueno, and Harry Charles. The JT collaboration places Yseult alongside one of American rap’s most electric voices, while the rest of the record swings between provocation and vulnerability, club pressure and confessional calm.

Yseult, born Yseult Onguenet, has built her career by refusing every box offered to her, moving from French pop beginnings into a sound and image that answer to no format. Releasing FREAK through her own imprint is the logical next step in that story: ownership as artistry. She announced the album to her fans as a celebration and urged them to buy it, speaking with the directness that has made her one of the most compelling figures in French music. With FREAK out in the world, Yseult owns the masters, the message and the moment. The campaign carried her signature theatrical humor, pairing the rollout with an Aretha Franklin reference for her followers, and everything about the release feels deliberate. FREAK is streaming now.
