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.

Elizma ‘Secrets’
Elizma’s boldness extends beyond the personal, challenging fellow artists to rethink their impact. “Secrets” isn’t just a story; it’s a call to action. In a music world often obsessed with escapism, Elizma is here to remind us that words carry weight. Her stance is clear: musicians have a responsibility to their audience, especially young listeners, to create art that heals rather than harms. In doing so, “Secrets” manages to balance its emotional gravity with undeniable musical brilliance—a perfect storm of truth and talent. This is more than a song; it’s a movement waiting to happen.
