Todd Kowaluk ‘Enough Is Enough’
Vancouver singer-songwriter Todd Kowaluk has been working on his unique brand of indie folk for a number of years, using 90s-influenced indie rock and pop with a higher message since his debut EP Love Can Set Us Free. He returns with his brand-new single ‘Enough Is Enough’. A track which he credits a significant degree of importance. For him, it represents a milestone in his life, musically, spiritually and career-wise.
Sam Segurado ‘Phoenix’
Irish-Portuguese solo artist Sam Segurado releases his brand-new single ‘Phoenix’ showcasing the foundation of his love for music and unmatched talent for fusing captivating instruments with profound lyricism. The track sees him blend of alternative-indie-folk on this acoustic offering. Interplaying guitar and piano with his delicate vocal delivery atop a lush synthscape, its lyrics evoke the line he so often treads between romance and sorrow.
Bestial Mouths ‘The Knife’
‘The Knife’, which is taken from Bestial Mouths most recent album, R.O.T.T. (inmyskin), is a deep dive into trauma pop that begs to be danced to. It draws you into that emotional vortex of shared ekstasis, which is as accessible as death, while continuously drawing you back into the darkness of reality and teetering toward the light.
Queen Bitch ‘Bones’
Queen Bitch’s debut single ‘Bones’ is a shattering, cymbal and guitar-heavy fury, the song is an upbeat celebration about mending, regaining one’s strength, and losing trust before finding great trust, beginning with a fierce scream. The genre-blend of pop-rock, alternative-rock, and grunge mixes incredibly showcasing her signature sound on record. The hard-hitting production on ‘Bones’ features electric guitar, bass, and drums, along with gravelly and raspy vocals. The energised instrumentation paired with victorious vocals draws the listener in immediately.
Addessa ‘Mirame’
Emerging music artist Addessa was raised surrounded by a rich tapestry of Latin traditional music, the energetic sounds of the ‘80s, and the soulful melodies of the ‘90s pop and R&B. Her brand-new single ‘Mirame’ is about loss, losing someone you love, whether in a romantic or platonic way. It is an expression of my personal experiences and emotions. It’s raw and honest.

WESPEAKMEDIA: TOP 5 WEEKLY MUSIC ROUND-UP (31.01.25)
Find the latest new music in our ‘Top 5’ weekly music round-up here at We Speak Media. In this weekly feature, we will be bringing you the hottest new acts and music out there.
Naesia ‘Mr. Mysterious’
Naesia’s, Indecisive, EP is a masterclass in vulnerability and artistic prowess, wrapped in a soundscape that’s equal parts daring and familiar. “Mr. Mysterious” perfectly captures the EP’s essence, with its hypnotic blend of R&B smoothness and Trap urgency, reflecting the exhilarating yet maddening dance of uncertain romance. Naesia’s ability to channel emotional nuance through her silky yet powerful voice makes each lyric linger long after the track ends. Moving to London seems to have infused her sound with a cosmopolitan edge, creating music that’s unapologetically raw and irresistibly magnetic.
messier ‘Baskervilles’
Messier’s latest single, ‘Baskervilles’, is an emotionally electric masterstroke that cements their reputation as indie rock alchemists. Huumonen and Orajärvi channel the raw, unsettling allure of catastrophizing into a sonic journey that’s both intimate and apocalyptic. The track’s layered instrumentation oscillates between eerie minimalism and explosive crescendos, perfectly capturing the inner turbulence it portrays. Haunting yet addictive, ‘Baskervilles’ is the sound of a band not just embracing their creative evolution but fearlessly soaring into the unknown. It’s a tantalizing promise of what’s to come in ‘Stream of Guilty Consciousness’.
Lolli Wren ‘All Mine’
Lolli Wren’s ‘All Mine’ is the kind of track that lingers long after the final note fades—a stirring blend of dark alt-rock and soaring, evocative vocals. The song’s driving guitars and thunderous drums create an ominous yet uplifting atmosphere, perfectly complementing Lolli’s rich, emotive delivery. Shades of Kate Bush’s theatrical storytelling and Stromae’s sonic depth infuse the track with a unique dynamism, making it both intimate and larger-than-life. With ‘All Mine’, Lolli turns pain into poetry, crafting an anthem of resilience that resonates deeply. This is music that doesn’t just speak—it shouts, it aches, it triumphs.
Patrick Staniforth ‘English Garden’
In English Garden, Patrick Staniforth invites listeners into a deeply intimate chapter of his life, capturing the fragile beauty of love and loss with stunning clarity. The song’s delicate yet anthemic arrangement, reminiscent of Coldplay and Michael Kiwanuka, perfectly underscores Patrick’s earnest vocals, drawing the listener into the garden where he met his brother for the first—and last—time. The track flourishes with melodic guitar work, understated percussion, and a haunting sense of nostalgia, proving once again that Patrick has mastered the art of turning personal moments into universal truths.
The fin. ‘Echoes’
“Echoes” by The fin. is a spellbinding exploration of identity, nostalgia, and the powerful pull of one’s past. Yuto Uchino’s smooth, floating vocals are paired with intricate layers of shimmering synths, creating a soundscape that feels both otherworldly and deeply personal. The song starts off with the gentle hum of nature before building into a groovy, psychedelic rhythm that begs you to sway along. It’s a beautiful meditation on change, memories, and the process of rediscovery. “Echoes” invites listeners to reconnect with themselves through the lens of their past, offering a peaceful retreat for the soul.
