Alternative pop artist Mali Mae is kicking off 2026 strong with her new single “Throne”, an anthem about taking control of your own mind.

Built on pulsing alt-pop production, sharp hooks, and raw vocals, “Throne” sits right in the space between vulnerability and power. It’s honest, intense, and impossible to ignore.

Written during a difficult period marked by anxiety and panic attacks, the track became a way for Mali Mae to process what she was going through and turn it into something empowering.

“‘Throne’ is the anthem for not letting your mental health get in the way of you becoming the best version of yourself”, she says.

At its core, the track uses the idea of a “throne” as a metaphor for the mind; your own inner world, where you either lose control or take it back. Instead of hiding the hard moments, Mali Mae leans into them, turning struggle into strength.

With momentum building through 2026, “Throne” stands as another defining step for an artist turning emotion into strength and pain into power.

With What Do You Take Me For, Harry Hudson Taylor demonstrates that meaningful songwriting often flourishes within simplicity. The single unfolds with quiet assurance, offering an intimate meditation on relationships and self awareness that feels both deeply personal and universally accessible.

The production reflects Harry’s increasingly assured artistic identity. Recorded independently and shaped with remarkable sensitivity, the arrangement never competes with the song’s emotional core. Instead, it provides an elegant framework where each lyric and melodic phrase is given room to resonate.

A notable feature is the presence of Seraphina Taylor, whose harmonies lend the recording an understated richness. Her contribution enhances the song’s emotional texture, creating moments of remarkable warmth while reinforcing the collaborative spirit behind Harry’s evolving solo work.

What distinguishes the single is its refusal to rely on spectacle. Harry’s measured vocal performance, combined with carefully crafted instrumentation, creates an atmosphere that feels contemplative rather than theatrical. It is a reminder that sincerity remains one of music’s most enduring qualities.

As anticipation builds for Hiding From Nature, What Do You Take Me For stands as a sophisticated and beautifully realised release. It further establishes Harry Hudson Taylor as an artist committed to craftsmanship, authenticity and songs that reveal more with every listen.

Speaking about his creative process, Harry says: “This song is about how manipulated modern life can feel, the algorithms, the tribalism, the sense that everyone’s being sorted into a side. I wrote it while trying every coping mechanism I had, addictions, fasting, meditating, medicating, just to stay standing in the middle of it. ‘What Do You Take Me For’ is the question I kept asking the system, and myself. “
