Joshua Sheppard – ‘Rolling Thunder’

Candian singer-songwriter Joshua Sheppard’s latest indie-pop offering ‘Rolling Thunder’ was inspired by an event from his childhood. The track hones in on the foundation of his love for music and creative ambitions. He distinguishes himself as a rising star in the music business with a combination of captivating imagery, deep lyrics, and elegant presentation techniques.

Miss Machina – ‘Talk’

Miss Machina’s collection showcases her creative and free-spirited attitude, and her unparalleled talent enables her to move fluidly between many genres. The new single “Talk” draws inspiration from grunge rock of the 1990s, 80s synth-pop, and 70s disco flair. This specific offering’s genre-blend highlights Miss Machina’s dynamism as a singer. She takes the production to a new level, bringing an exciting sound inspired by the nostalgic songs she grew up listening to. 

Bonneville – ‘Undercover Woman’

This song perfectly captures Bonneville’s carefree creative spirit and openness to trying out novel sounds. They never stop looking for methods to represent the past more exquisitely, even if every note they play is a tribute to it. Although the sound isn’t quite vintage, it does evoke the feelings of the preceding generation for both men and bring back memories of the era of hand-crafted, “analogue” music that was performed from the heart. It’s a wonderfully flawed sound that entices you to follow along.

Babatell – ‘Selftalks’

Babatell’s brand-new album, Selftalks, documents an enigmatic journey of inner dialogues and sonic exploration. Over the course of the 12 tracks, he seamlessly merges elements of alternative hip-hop, electronica, and Afrofuturism. His works are a frenzy of experimentation in which echoing vocals, bass sounds, and synthesizers interact to create an environment that defies convention. He creates a sound that is immersive and lingers, whether it is through the pulsing beats of his production or the reflective echoes of his voice.

Beth Roars – ‘Power of the Wolf’

Scottish singer-songwriter Beth Roars’ brand-new single ‘Power of the Wolf’ is a ferocious and edgy pop song that explores the joyful darkness found in excess and pays homage to the wild spirit of nature. The genre-bending song combines pop, electro-pop, and chamber music with a moody, gloomy atmosphere. Piano, strings, brass (tuba, trombone, and cimbasso), and a ton of synthesizers are used in the production. As we take the first step into her musical journey, get ready to unleash the power within.

GRAE ‘Hollywood’

On “Hollywood,” GRAE delivers a bittersweet farewell to fame and the facade of perfection, wrapping up 7 Minutes ’Til Heaven with an emotional punch. The track glitters with a soft, cinematic sheen—like the final scene of a film where the lights dim, and the curtain falls. GRAE’s ethereal vocals drift through the track, capturing the fragile balance between desire and disillusionment, as she reflects on the hollow allure of stardom. It’s a haunting, yet beautiful closer that showcases GRAE’s knack for turning melancholy into something utterly magnetic—like a star’s final bow, leaving you mesmerized and wanting more.

Layla Kaylif ‘God’s Keeper’

“God’s Keeper” is the kind of song that wraps around you like velvet and lingers long after it ends. Layla Kaylif delivers vocals that feel both celestial and deeply human, backed by a dreamy, slow-building production that feels tailor-made for your next main-character moment. It’s introspective, spiritual, and surprisingly catchy — like a pop confessional for your soul.

Chechii ‘Mi Paddi’

Chechii delivers the musical equivalent of a cultural potluck with “Mi Paddi”, and every flavor hits. Blending her rich Afrosoul vocals with Afrobeat percussion, pop hooks, and R&B smoothness, she cooks up a celebratory tune that’s impossible not to move to. With Kracktwist and Samza bringing extra heat, the track feels like a cross-continental jam session you wish you were invited to. Spoiler: you are—just press play.

Seb Adams ‘Guitar Hero III’

‘Guitar Hero III’ is Seb Adams at his most nostalgic and relatable, turning childhood memories and pixelated dreams into a bittersweet pop-punk anthem that hits right in the feels. With jangly guitars, a singalong chorus, and just the right amount of emotional chaos, it’s a track that feels like digging through your old bedroom and finding your favorite band tee still fits. Equal parts emo diary entry and rock-out catharsis, it’s a standout moment on Bittersweet Nostalgia that proves growing up doesn’t mean letting go of who you were.

Peter Doran ‘Never Say Goodbye’

“Never Say Goodbye” stands as a masterclass in lyrical depth and sonic atmosphere, revealing Peter Doran at his most contemplative and assured. The song flows like an ocean tide, pulling listeners into its maritime mythology with rich, folky textures and a stirring vocal performance. Anchored by the poignant closing line, “God Bless The Now And Evermore,” Doran captures both the ache of impermanence and the enduring power of presence.
