Emerging pop artist Mauro Brenner releases bright radio-ready single “So It Begins…”
Following his debut “No Bad Blood”, which has garnered over 130,000 Spotify streams, 18-year-old Winchester-born artist Mauro Brenner returns with “So It Begins…” — a bright, radio-ready pop track inspired by the hook-driven energy of early 2010s hits.
Blending punchy melodies with conversational lyrics, the single captures the familiar rush of stepping back into something you already know won’t end well. Built around the repeated line, “So It begins”, Mauro balances self-awareness with excitement, turning late-night chaos and mixed signals into something instantly catchy and sharply observed.
Where “No Bad Blood” introduced his instinct for honest, anthemic songwriting, “So It Begins…” pushes Mauro further into a more polished, hedonistic pop-led direction — brighter, bolder, and more immediate. It’s a confident next step that draws on the spirit of early 2010s radio pop while keeping his perspective fresh and personal.
With its addictive hook and clean, high-gloss sound, “So It Begins…” positions Mauro Brenner as an emerging pop voice who understands both the drama — and the fun — of getting it wrong.

VAAST drops “Remember These Days” and it seriously feels like the future of French pop
France has given the world some of its biggest electronic icons. From Daft Punk to DJ Snake and David Guetta, French artists have shaped global music culture for decades. But lately, finding a track that mixes real emotion, cinematic vibes and dance energy all at once? Pretty rare.
That’s exactly where Vaast steps in.
His new single “Remember These Days” is an addictive mix of modern French electronic production and timeless pop songwriting. Think emotional melodies, huge atmosphere, deep basslines and the kind of track you want both in your headphones at 2AM and blasting during a late-night drive.
The production blends layered synths, marimba-inspired textures, synthetic African vocal elements and immersive cinematic energy. And yes, there’s even inspiration pulled from Avatar, the legendary movie universe that defined a whole cultural era. That influence gives the track its futuristic-but-nostalgic feeling, like a memory from the future.
