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.

Muscle Memory ‘Get Lost’
The latest offering from Muscle Memory, “Get Lost,” is a mesmerizing dance anthem that merges retro influences with fresh, cutting-edge production. The track is a shimmering synthpop dream that evokes a sense of timelessness, blending the wistful beauty of Fleetwood Mac with the electric pulse of Giorgio Moroder’s production style. The duo’s knack for fusing their rock backgrounds with electronic music shines through in this release, which is further elevated by remixes from Midnight Magic and Muscle Memory themselves. Their ability to seamlessly meld live performance and DJ sensibilities makes them a standout act in NYC’s dynamic dance scene.
BLVDS ‘Two Sides’
BLVDS, the brainchild of Ryan Hayes and Jake Goldberg, has just dropped their electrifying new single, “Two Sides,” and it’s an absolute game-changer. A unique fusion of Synthwave, Retrowave, Darkwave, and electronic elements, the track creates a captivating sonic landscape that instantly pulls you in. The song’s darker undertones are contrasted beautifully with electrifying energy, calling to mind the likes of The Midnight and Dance with the Dead, while still carving out its own signature sound. A collaboration with Righteous Vendetta adds a metal-infused twist, blending the band’s heavy past with their forward-thinking, genre-defying present. “Two Sides” is a perfect example of BLVDS’ ability to blend two contrasting worlds into one cohesive, unforgettable track.
Charlie Turner ‘Mrs Other’
Charlie Turner’s latest single, ‘Mrs Other,’ is nothing short of a revelation. By weaving together influences as diverse as jazz’s improvisational soul, punk’s raw edge, and rock’s dynamic power, Turner delivers a track that’s as thought-provoking as it is addictive. Born from a period of personal upheaval, the song channels its origins into a reflection on time and self-awareness, with lyrics that linger long after the last note fades. Whether you’re a fan of Turner’s early work or new to his sound, ‘Mrs Other’ is a shining example of an artist fearlessly embracing growth—both musically and personally.
