Here is a name worth knowing if you do not already: MIIA, the Norwegian alt-pop artist who released ‘Dynasty’ at seventeen years old and watched it hit number two on the US Viral 50 in under three weeks. That was 2016. Nearly a decade later, ‘Dynasty’ still pulls around 200,000 daily streams and over 300 million total plays. Whatever she has been working on since, it had better be good. Based on ‘Necessary Evil’, the wait has been entirely justified. This is a genuine left tu

Right, so: twenty-seven tracks, recorded in a Costa Rican jungle cabin surrounded by mango trees above a surf break, by an artist raised between American and Costa Rican worlds who spent six years in his mother’s village getting around by bicycle and making music in a home studio that smells like ocean air and afternoon rain. Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Spotify, BandCamp, Website If that setup sounds too good to be true, prepare to be corrected, because Country Love Song is t

Elare André – ‘Music For All Occasions’ The title of Elare André’s debut full-length album is, as the artist himself is at pains to explain, intentionally ironic. MUSIC FOR ALL OCCASIONS is emphatically not music for all occasions: it is not background listening, not mood utility, not content designed to accompany a specific activity or emotional state. It is music that exists on its own terms, rooted in queer identity and emotional complexity and the kind of genre-dissolving

Sam has a particular kind of artistic honesty that can only be achieved by removing the safety nets entirely: no producer softening the rough edges, no label executive asking for another take, no studio polish covering the moments where the voice cracks or the note misses its mark. Instagram, Spotify, Website Sam Gelston’s new album See Through Now, written, performed and recorded in its entirety in his bedroom, is built from exactly that philosophy, and the result is one of

Miles Jeppson Ushers in the ‘GREEN’ Era: A Nostalgic Alt-Pop Movement Rooted in Youth, Identity, and Culture‘… ‘GREEN’ is less about revisiting a past era and more about translating its emotional language into a modern context. Jeppson isn’t replicating nostalgia—he’s reshaping it, using familiar textures to build something that feels current, cohesive, and culturally aware. There’s a particular kind of precision to Miles Jeppson’s ‘GREEN’—not in the sense of technical over-p

‘Good Morning LA’ ultimately works because of its restraint. By allowing the track to unfold gradually, Miller creates a sense of depth that extends beyond its runtime, leaving the listener with something that lingers rather than resolves… ‘Good Morning LA’ finds Walter Miller recalibrating his approach, trading immediate impact for a more gradual, emotionally driven build. Known for leaning into the scale of rock performance, Miller instead begins here with restraint, allowi

‘A Night With A Sazerac’ stands out for its commitment to immediacy. By prioritising feel over perfection, White creates a project that feels grounded in real experience, allowing its emotional arc to unfold naturally… Rose White’s ‘A Night With A Sazerac’ is a project that leans into immediacy, using its recording process as a defining feature rather than a background detail. Captured largely live and within minimal takes, the EP prioritises performance over refinement, resu

Some songs carry more weight than others before you’ve even pressed play — and knowing Vi Talli’s story makes ‘Running’ hit that much harder. The Ukrainian artist was on the verge of releasing her debut album back home in 2022 when Russia’s invasion changed everything. She and her younger sister fled, found refuge in France, and Vi did what she’d always done: she performed. Streets, cafés, small clubs — wherever someone would listen. Music had always been her first language,

Some bands sound better on record; others make more sense the moment they step onto a stage. The Howlers fall firmly into the second category. Have a listen to some of their songs on Spotify while you read about their live show at Nottingham's Bodega on February 13th! There’s something cinematic about their sound — dusty guitar tones, swaggering rhythms and vocals that feel dragged straight through the smoke of a late-night bar. Their music leans into desert rock textures wh

With ‘Just a Girl’, Molly Stone proves that pop can be politically sharp, emotionally intelligent, and unapologetically fun. It’s the sound of a songwriter fully in control of her own narrative. Instagram , Spotify , YouTube Molly Stone’s ‘Just a Girl’ is a fiery slice of clever pop songwriting — a blend of sweetness, sharpness, and lyrical bite that turns everyday frustration into empowerment. Co-written with Leve and produced by REYA, the track flips the narrative on gende

ANASTÁZIE’s ‘Kiss & Let Go’ glows with a sense of freedom — a track that refuses to settle neatly into one category, instead blending R&B sensuality, Afrobeats rhythm, and jazz-tinged sophistication into a fresh and confident whole. Co-produced and written by ANASTÁZIE herself, it’s both technically sharp and emotionally fluid, flowing between smooth grooves and bright, effervescent hooks.
