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.

OUTER ‘Svartsengi’
“Svartsengi” feels like being wrapped in a blanket of fog that somehow smells like fresh pine and nostalgia. OUTER’s piano loop gently spins like a music box you found in an attic, and then in breezes Arve Henriksen, sounding like he dipped his trumpet in moonlight. It’s tender, it’s haunting, and it leaves you with that delicious feeling of wanting to press play again just to live inside its little weather system a bit longer.
Peter DiMaggio ‘Fly Away’
If The 1975 and Coldplay had a lovechild raised on indie movie soundtracks, it would sound a lot like Peter DiMaggio’s “Fly Away.” It’s lush, glossy, and full of “main character energy” — the kind of track that makes you feel like your life just got a soundtrack upgrade. Between its cinematic build and DiMaggio’s earnest delivery, it’s clear he’s not just chasing pop perfection — he’s flying toward something real.
Nina Ann Nelson ‘Just a Little’
“Just a Little” hits like a sparkling burst of confidence in musical form. Nina Ann Nelson serves sultry melodies, clever lyrics, and enough R&B swagger to make you want to hit replay immediately. It’s upbeat, emotionally honest, and feels like a mini pep talk set to an irresistible groove—basically the soundtrack for owning your day (or your life).
Blue Capricorn ‘MISERICORDIA’
“MISERICORDIA” is the sonic equivalent of a midnight walk where you’re solving your problems, discovering your main character moment, and also vibing to haunted electronic beats. Blue Capricorn pours vulnerability straight into the mic while Black Taffy sets the emotional lighting design. It’s dark, artsy, and unexpectedly motivational—the perfect track to add to your playlist for dramatic staring out of windows.
Walter Miller ‘Basic Instinct’
Think glitter, guitars, and a little bit of “did I just hear a violin?” magic—Walter Miller’s “Basic Instinct” delivers all that and more. It’s an energetic, theatrical pop-rock anthem that somehow manages to feel intimate while also stadium-ready. Whether you’re headbanging in your car or singing into a hairbrush at home, this song dares you to own your true self with a wink and a roar.
