Sohodolls release cover of “Tear You Apart” by She Wants Revenge after fans request it!
The next Sohodolls single to drop ahead of their long-awaited new album is a cover of ‘Tear You Apart’ by She Wants Revenge. With her own interpretation of the track, Sohodolls’ Maya von Doll has taken the indie-rock track in a more electronic direction and put her own dark-pop stamp on the song.
“The fans asked for it!” Maya von Doll explains. “Last year I posted a photo on Instagram with She Wants Revenge’s hit ‘Tear You Apart’. The fans mistakenly thought this was a statement of intent to cover the track. I received hundreds of messages within an hour – all full of support and encouragement to cover the song and also asking for the release date. I had no intention of doing a cover but the Sohodolls ‘brethren’, as I call my fans, clearly did!”, she further reveals.
This is the type of loyal fanbase support that has seen Sohodolls climb up the viral Billboard charts in recent years when Madonna’s daughter kickstarted their career again by dancing to one of their 00’s tracks on TikTok. The band have also recently had single ‘Bad’ featured in Netflix’s top 10 series ‘Geek Girl’, plus a slew of new press and radio attention from the likes of BBC Radio 1’s Nels Hylton, Absolute Radio’s Frank Skinner and Atwood Magazine to name a few.
The potent new cover of ‘Tear You Apart’ continues this exciting new era for Sohodolls. Produced by Ängelsson (Camila Cabello, Chappell Roan, Demi Lovato, Swae Lee, Tory Lanez), Sohodolls brilliantly reframe the track with thick electronic bass, sparkling synth melodies and Maya von Doll’s stunning airy vocals, delivering the track’s menacing lyrics with an icy foreboding effortlessly.
“I hope I’ve done it justice and not offended She Wants Revenge” says von Doll. “They actually chose Sohodolls to be their support act when they last toured the UK. We should do it again!”, she adds.

Megan Burke Turns Personal Experience into Pop Catharsis on ‘Not All Men, Apparently’
Megan Burke’s debut EP Not All Men, Apparently arrives with a title designed to provoke conversation, but beneath its pointed framing lies a deeply personal collection of songs rooted in lived experience. The project sees the Irish artist tackling themes of heartbreak, deception and emotional recovery with an unfiltered honesty that has become increasingly rare within contemporary pop.
Produced by Hungarian hitmaker Áron Somody, the EP documents Burke’s journey through a series of difficult relationships, transforming private frustrations into universally relatable songwriting. Rather than presenting neat resolutions, the songs lean into complexity, examining the lingering impact of toxic dynamics while charting a gradual path towards self-awareness. It is this willingness to confront uncomfortable truths that gives the record its emotional weight.
Among the collection’s standout moments is Make Me, the focus track that introduces a welcome sense of levity. Written as a break from the darker material surrounding it, the song captures a more playful side of Burke’s personality, embracing independence and spontaneity without abandoning the candid perspective that defines the wider project. Its inclusion adds balance to a release that might otherwise feel relentlessly introspective.
Burke’s rise has been built largely on her ability to connect directly with audiences, amassing a substantial online following while earning notable milestones including a No.1 iTunes chart position and performances at some of Ireland’s biggest venues. With Not All Men, Apparently, she delivers her most cohesive artistic statement yet, confirming her status as a compelling new voice in Irish pop and a songwriter unafraid to tell difficult stories.
