Copper Lungs explores bold new sounds with their latest track Pieces of Me
If you’re new to Copper Lungs, Pieces of Me is the perfect song to start with. This new single is a mix of everything we love about anthemic pop-rock, but with the emotional weight of a ballad. It’s equal parts grateful, vulnerable, and hopeful — a hard combo to pull off, but Copper Lungs does it so well.
Moving away from their usual indie-rock vibe, the Dundee-based band is now exploring more textured sounds and is determined to push their music in a fresh, bolder direction. As the song builds, you’re hit with a wave of ambient, layered synths and soaring guitar riffs. This track is a great snapshot of a band in evolution, bringing a more anthemic feel to their sound and making Pieces of Me one of their most dynamic tracks yet.
The fun part of the story behind the song is how it turned into something bigger than they first planned. Darren, the band’s songwriter, mentioned that Pieces of Me started out with a lighter, indie vibe. But as the band got into it, they let the song take on a life of its own, growing into something huge, engaging and honestly, kind of addictive!
The lyrics talk about the kind of love that finds you when you’re at a low point and ends up bringing you back to life. There’s a sense of looking back on tough times with a bit of gratitude, realising they’ve made you stronger and led you to this moment. That authentic emotion comes through clearly, and it’s even more impressive when you find out that Pieces of Me was written in just about an hour!
For fans who’ve been following Copper Lungs, this shift in sound shows a band that’s willing to step out of their comfort zone and try something new. They’ve kept the heart and honesty that fans love, but now with an edge that’s bold and refreshing. Pieces of Me definitely feels like the start of a new chapter, and we’re lucky enough to be along for the ride!

Swiss artist Fanny Alexandra returns with “Black Pearl Summer”, a new single that finds her exploring a more open side of her alternative sound. Released via Now Listen, the track combines coastal imagery with a story about growing through grief, pressure and the experiences that can shape a person over time.
Alexandra notes that the song is relatively summery by her own standards. She has said that her music is usually darker and that she has never been particularly drawn to the typical idea of summer, preferring cold air, jackets and rugged coastlines. That gives the release a clear sense of personality from the outset.
The song centres on Alexandra’s reflections on being 19 and spending years focused on survival rather than fully living. Those experiences are presented through the image of a black pearl, which becomes a way of considering how something worthwhile can emerge from a challenging period.
What makes the track particularly effective is the balance between its subject matter and its musical approach. The production gives the song room to breathe, while Alexandra keeps the focus firmly on the story she is telling. It means the track can be enjoyed as a seasonal release while still offering more to discover in the lyrics.
There is also a clear sense of change in the way Alexandra approaches her younger self. The song is not about returning to that period or trying to erase it. Instead, it considers what can be learned from experiences that once felt overwhelming.
“Black Pearl Summer” therefore offers newcomers a useful introduction to Alexandra’s work. It shows an artist comfortable writing about serious subjects, while also demonstrating a lighter musical side that may not be as familiar to listeners who know her darker material.
It is an interesting glimpse of what Alexandra can do when she lets a little more light into the picture.
