The track oozes with hums of summer love and the euphoria of being around someone that really makes you feel like life is ‘Peaches and Cream’. Sexy lead guitar flirts with enchanting vocals and a grooving bassline to create a neo-soul, R&B-esque track, flecked with smatterings of big band swing and old school swagger for good measure.

"I can never be" is the third self-produced release from artist, songwriter, and producer, Kyns. She has recorded all of her debut singles from within her LA apartment, as she continues to lay the framework for her indie singer-songwriter meets folk- tronic sound.

SURESON is an artist debut and a first single titled ‘HNDA CVC’. The track is a pandemic driven amalgamation from the intricate mind of Tyler Matock (aka SURESON) and producer and studio musician, formerly of grammy-winning band Fun, Rob Kroehler. ‘HNDA CVC’ breaks into an afternoon joyride in a borrowed car, hence the title, as they pass by signposts of jangle-pop infused punk rock, with the soul of a rock anthem.

Unshakeable from the very first ghostly hum, this Leeds-based band pull you back into a soundscape long-gone. Part hip hop, part rap, it feels like a musical riot plucked from the soundtrack to a film you've seen many times before. Nostalgic in only the best of ways, the track asks you to trade in the facade of love for a better life.

A track whose slow current drags you deep into a sea of ethereal melancholy, this track is a warm welcome to an underwater world of delicate harmonies. Irresistible vocals that harmonise with the warm synths to blanket both its own acoustic bones and yours. Written in collab with fellow Leeds based artist Mehalah Ray, this collective of two have captured the Northern sea breeze within its melody.

Written in a matter of focussed minutes, this song fell from Kaylyn Marie’s mind in a moment of cathartic release. Confessing to holding on to an unhealthy relationship for too long amongst a support blanket of ambient folk, her music is melodic and rich in emotion. Taking flight through controlled thunders of percussion, drones of keys and Marie’s soaring voice, this first single from her sophomore EP, Forget Me Not, is magnetic in its authenticity.

Ever wondered what it might be like to drift off into a dreamy wonderland, filled with gauzy synths, infectious basslines, and perfectly layered vocals? Well wow … we have found just the place for you. When you listen to Olivia Morreale’s new single ‘Parasomnia’ you will be blissfully transported to this lovely landscape. Olivie Morreale’s early influences were the likes of Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, and Ella Fitzgerald, and it is easy to see how these sounds have manifested themselves into her music. 

Obscuring Owl City’s track of the same name, this LA duo (compromising of Crystal Douesnard and Thomas Moore) have interlaced nostalgia within their slow beats. Hiding their dreams in the cracks between the contrasting vocal and drum track, the duo dream of better. Hoping that maybe the forceful guitar riff will conjure the past back into reality.

A vivid jungle of melody, Ten Hands High’s new single is a luscious soundscape of texture. ‘Sweet’ in every way, this aptly-named track clears the sky from clouds through its jazz-laden cries of alternative indie. Comprised of rich canopies of guitar which echo with the track’s thunderous lyrics, the four-piece intoxicate your senses with the endorphins of lost love.

Pairing powdered vocals with rolling dunes of guitar, this New South Wales band adopt the power of the beach to create a wash of euphoric indie rock. As a track whose lyrical composition is fuelled by insecurity, the band itself holds a quiet confidence. Secure in the sound they have crafted in the past two years prior to this release, one that brings them into the auditory world of Car Seat Headrest and DIIV.

Hongza’s sophomore release ‘December’ claims the winter month as the ambient season for heartbreak. The fraternal twin to the North Londoner’s pained debut single ‘Gone’, this latest release is a shoegaze self-reflection on the actions which led to the end of his relationship. Cathartic in the most melancholic fashion, Hongza’s reverberating voice is enchanting.

Sour Sync starts the year strong with impressive new single ‘Wisdom Teeth’. The uprising of wisdom teeth can be one of the most painful life experiences, and Sour Sync has captured these feelings through his brand new single ‘Wisdom Teeth’.

Women are an integral part of the music industry, both behind the scenes, in terms of songwriting, and on the front stage in the public eye. The creative industries as a whole have a reputation for being liberal and tolerant and promoting gender equality supposedly, but this has not translated into greater actual inclusivity. Ultimately, there is a strong belief that the music industry should face further interrogations to those in privileged positions to further enhance equality within the industry.

With the release of her debut single ‘Bad Habits’, Georgie is showing everyone how it doesn’t matter if you’ve started diving back into the chocolate cupboard, because ‘Bad Habits’ can be so, so good. Georgie has always been destined for music, aged 15, she began frequenting open mic nights across Ipswich. Two years later she released her first demo ‘Hide’, and over the past couple of years, she has been carefully displaying her versatility, singing with outfits such as Brookes Brothers and Polar Youth. ‘Bad Habits’ is Georgie’s first solo release, as she curates her highly anticipated EP in 2021. 

The Dublin native, aka Tommy Buckley, sticks to his characteristic borrowing from the 80s, with bouncing basslines and huge synth-scapes powering the track throughout and carrying his dreamy vocals along the way. However, Four Nights takes this synth-infused pop and draws it to a deeper and gloomier place lyrically, as his lyrical protagonist reflects on a doomed relationship providing ultimate relatability to the listener.
