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.

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’

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.
