Argyle ‘Heal Me’

Argyle’s “Heal Me” is a moving exploration of existential pain and the pursuit of peace in a fractured world. Lyrically daring, the song confronts the futility of human judgment and highlights the hypocrisies embedded within institutional ideologies. Argyle’s voice, earthy yet ethereal, navigates each verse with vulnerability, weaving in his cultural heritage to create a sonically rich experience.

Kiwiani ‘Close’

Kiwiani’s ‘Close’ brings together the best of experimental downtempo and visual artistry, offering fans an entrancing escape into his unique audio-visual world. Known for pushing boundaries in sound design, Kiwiani leans into his inspirations from electronic luminaries like Flume and Sophie, resulting in a track that feels both experimental and accessible. The subtle interplay between bitcrushed synths and intricate rhythms invites listeners to get lost in its haunting beauty. The accompanying audio-reactive visualizer, teased on his Instagram, is another layer to the experience, making ‘Close’ not just a single, but a complete sensory experience. Kiwiani continues to define his own lane in electronic music, and with ‘Close’, he’s solidified his place among the genre’s most innovative voices.

Suki Summer ‘Nothing At All’

With ‘Nothing At All’, singer-songwriter Suki Summer reinvents pop-rock by blending 70s rock grit and 80s synth in a track that feels both nostalgic and fiercely modern. Her lyrics speak to self-confidence and the freedom to enjoy relationships on her own terms, challenging outdated stigmas with an empowering message. The song’s rich production and Suki’s commanding vocal presence make ‘Nothing At All’ a memorable, dynamic entry in the realm of empowered pop-rock.

Last Grasp ‘Creature of Your Kind’

Last Grasp’s latest single, “Creature of Your Kind,” strikes a perfect balance between nostalgic darkwave aesthetics and fresh, modern intensity. With shimmering synths and a driving bassline, the track feels like a descent into a world of shadowy allure, anchored by Matthew DeFeis’s commanding vocals. Producer Boris Stojanović brings his own remote magic from Serbia, layering a haunting yet crisp sound that amplifies the track’s underlying themes of longing and mystery. It’s clear Last Grasp has their finger on the pulse of goth revival, crafting an immersive sound that both respects and reinvents the genre.

Elizma ‘What’s In My Head’

With the backing of legendary rock producer Jeff Glixman and a rapidly growing fan base, Elizma is poised for greatness. Her sound, a captivating blend of modern pop influences reminiscent of Billie Eilish and Lana Del Rey, is distinctly her own, showcasing her artistic identity. Live performances, including her debut at the Beacon Theatre and an opening slot for Dave Mason, have solidified her reputation as a promising live act.

Soapman ‘Y. L. T. Y.’

Soapman’s “Y. L. T. Y.” doesn’t walk into the room—it kicks the door down with jittery guitars, caffeine-fueled vocals, and a tempo that refuses to sit still. It’s a wild, weird alt-pop ride that sounds like your inner monologue set to a mosh pit soundtrack, and somehow it’s both chaotic and incredibly catchy. If you’ve ever wanted to dance through an existential crisis, this one’s for you.

Shawn Matthew ‘Work To The Beat’

“Work to the Beat” feels like someone dropped a grenade in a rave—and we mean that as a compliment. Shawn Matthew’s new single is a reckless blend of gritty vocals, teeth-grinding bass, and trap drops that go full beast mode. It’s like a sonic rollercoaster with no brakes, and we’re grinning the whole way down.

Stephen Sol ‘Forever Changed’

Warning: “Forever Changed” may cause spontaneous staring out the window during a rainstorm, even if it’s sunny. Stephen Sol delivers a heartfelt indie folk gem that sounds like Ben Howard wandered into a candlelit therapy session. Equal parts soothing and soul-crushing, the track is a warm hug for anyone still emotionally invested in “what could’ve been.”

Peso The Misfit ‘New Age Love’

“New Age Love” by Peso The Misfit is like that cool friend who always smells good, gives great advice, and somehow turns every situation into a movie scene. Smooth R&B grooves meet hip-hop confidence in this flirty, laid-back track that’s built for warm nights, good company, and a little romantic chaos. Peso delivers a vibe that’s cheeky and charismatic, with just enough mystery to keep you hitting replay—and yes, there’s a line in here that’ll make you laugh out loud.

Zweng ‘Marianne’

Zweng’s Marianne is an achingly beautiful tribute to the maternal strength that often goes unnoticed. Written in honor of his mother, the track is a “persona” song that imagines what the partner she deserved—but never had—might have said. With tenderness and quiet grace, Zweng crafts a redemptive narrative, one that delves into the complex layers of generational pain, forgiveness, and love. The stripped-back arrangement lets his raw, emotive voice carry the weight of the song’s poignant message, while the subtle instrumentation adds a sense of timelessness to the track. Marianne is a soul-stirring meditation on healing and empathy, showcasing Zweng’s ability to transform personal experience into universal truth. It’s a song that quietly resonates, holding a mirror up to the often unspoken sacrifices of maternal love. Beautifully vulnerable and deeply reflective, Marianne is a standout moment in Zweng’s ongoing journey of self-discovery and artistic rebirth.
