Indie pop artist Qori released her latest single, “Union Station,” a deeply introspective track that explores the struggle of breaking free from a monotonous life. The song encapsulates the fear, anxiety, and uncertainty that hold us back—until the moment those fears no longer matter. “Union Station” challenges listeners to confront the true source of their stagnation instead of deflecting blame elsewhere.

With her signature introspective lyricism and captivating melodies, Qori delivers an emotionally charged performance that resonates with anyone who has ever felt stuck in a familiar but unfulfilling routine. The song’s dynamic instrumentation builds a sonic landscape that mirrors the emotional turmoil and eventual liberation described in the lyrics.

Qori has carved out a space for herself in the indie pop scene, drawing inspiration from artists such as Lana Del Rey, Young the Giant, and Florence + The Machine. Her music blends ethereal vocals with raw, heartfelt storytelling, creating a deeply immersive experience for listeners. Her ability to weave profound narratives through her songwriting has earned her a dedicated fanbase, starting with her breakout debut single, “Stuck.” The success of her EP, Sound the Riot, further established her as a rising voice in the indie music world, with its infectious melodies and poignant themes.

Beyond her recordings, Qori’s live performances bring her music to life with a mesmerizing stage presence and magnetic energy. Each show is an immersive journey, leaving audiences spellbound and eager for more.

Currently, Qori is working on her highly anticipated sophomore album, Optimism, which promises to dive even deeper into themes of self-discovery, personal growth, and the complexities of human emotion. “Union Station” serves as a powerful preview of what’s to come—an anthem for those seeking change but struggling to take the first step.

Former ‘The Voice’ finalist and renowned TV sync music writer LLOREN releases her next single ‘Like I Need’.

On the track, LLOREN explains, “After coming out of a 12-year relationship, I realised that any love I accepted next would have to be something spectacular, the kind of romance you see on movie screens. It wasn’t that I wasn’t loved before, just not in the way I needed. When I started developing a new crush, as exciting as it was, I knew I couldn’t settle. I wanted and deserved the kind of love that sweeps you off your feet, full of passion, magic, and possibility. Nothing less. The chorus is a pretty much a road map to my heart!”.

Produced by Daniel Pashman, ‘Like I Need’ captures feelings of hope and anticipation, while keeping the retro, anthemic vibe that’s quickly becoming LLOREN’s signature. The track’s melancholic under-tones are swept away in a thick 80s production, as the chorus hits hard with its instantly engaging and relatable themes, bringing all of the feels of searching for new love.

Hit TV show The Traitors, Grey’s Anatomy, The L Word, 1923, Wish, The Company You Keep, Made In Chelsea, Love Island UK and Love Island USA are just some of the many sync credits LLOREN has amassed to date, which have steadily proved her rich, multi-faceted vocal and powerful contemporary inspired compositions to be a cut above the rest.

Tracks from LLOREN’s hugely anticipated forthcoming debut album ‘It’s Always Sunny in LA’ have already picked up airplay from BBC Radio 2’s Angela Griffin and Radio X’s John Kennedy and press acclaim from prestigious music tastemakers Louder Than War and The Line Of Best Fit, as momentum continues to build. LLOREN’s video for her track ‘Like This’ also won a Telly Award in the US, as well as also being nominated for a prestigious Leo Award in Canada.

LLOREN appeared at The Gibson Garage All Day Festival in London earlier this year and in her career to date has opened European tours for Fleurie, Johannes Oerding and Michael Patrick Kelly respectively, played the UK’s annual PRIDE celebrations in Manchester and London and toured with Mauvey, with whom she collaborated with on the track ‘Pillow’, performing it at BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend as well as the Isle Of Wight Festival 2023.
