Mieko Shimizu unveils new video ahead of London experimental night!

“My Tentacles” is the quixotic single re-release by radical, nonconformist, Japanese singer and multi-instrumentalist, Mieko Shimizu.
The single, which has picked up airplay from BBC 6 Music’s Deb Grant & Tom Ravenscroft lately, is the offbeat, unworldliness that is; “My Tentacles”, the title track of the soon to be re-released album of the same name. It is be-thronged by chimeric fusions, dysfunctional beats and startling mutations.
Following the single’s release on 9th February, Mieko is now back with an equally radical video for “My Tentacles”, created by by diz_qo– https://linktr.ee/diz_qo

SEVVEN Shares Reflective and Introspective New Single ‘Moments’

Some songs are made to entertain. Others are made to remind us of what matters. ‘Moments’, SEVVEN’s latest offering, falls firmly into the latter category. In just a few minutes, it manages to carve out emotional space—a quiet corner for reflection in a world that rarely slows down.
There’s something undeniably calming about the way the track is constructed. The production is rich, yet restrained. Synth layers shimmer gently under acoustic flourishes, while SEVVEN’s vocals rise and fall with a kind of emotional intelligence that feels instinctual. There’s no rush, no urgency—only presence.
Lyrically, ‘Moments’ is deceptively simple. It speaks to the truth we all know but rarely act on: that time is finite. SEVVEN doesn’t need elaborate metaphors to get this across. Instead, his phrasing feels purposeful, his voice a vessel for sincerity. It’s not about grand performances—it’s about real connection.
As part of RADA Unearthed Volume Three, ‘Moments’ also serves a larger purpose. It’s a song with a soul, but also with a mission. SEVVEN’s long-standing relationship with RADA lends an extra layer of authenticity to the release. This isn’t just art for art’s sake—it’s art for awareness, and maybe even healing.
