Silver Tongue - Velvet Bloom
An immersive blend of funk and soul - this may be my favourite Velvet Bloom track yet! Exploring themes of allure and deception, ‘Silver Tongue’ perfectly showcases the band’s kaleidoscopic arrangements and Maddy’s vocal prowess. The track carries you through twists and turns creating a thoroughly immersive listening experience.

Sad Shit - Wafia
Up in the clouds of passing melancholia, Wafia’s new single ‘Sad Shit’ is both candid and ethereal. Her chromatic melodies build tension through the atmospheric soundscape of synths, glockenspiel and acoustic guitar. The track skillfully captures the bittersweet experience of empowerment after leaving a toxic ex-lover.

We just wanna have a good time, baby! ‘Slow It Down’ from EMEREE’s debut EP ‘Gold’ is full of sultry grooves and feminine energy. The intricate layering of the production glissands around her effortlessly playful vocal performance. It’s both timeless and fun - an instant addition to my music library.

Greatest Hit - Greta Stanley
Made for open roads and hearts, ‘Greatest Hit’ showcases Greta’s prolific pop hooks and smooth vocal delivery. The sun-soaked melodies evoke a sense of love and warmth, perfectly mirroring the lyrics. It’s the latest single from the Cairn’s songwriter’s highly anticipated third album, ‘If I Get In, Where Would I Go?’ and a wonderful display of this new body if work.

on your mind ･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: - Annie Hamilton
Annie Hamilton’s music lives in a world of summer nights and sepia toned nostalgia and this new single is no exception. Sparkling arrangements and a driving beat wrap up Annie’s vivid lyricism into a hopeful dreamscape. It’s a glitchy haze that swirls and builds throughout the three or so minutes, symbolising the takeover of an intoxicating new love.

I Don’t Need Your Love - Pink Matter
Healing can be full of paradox; ‘I Don’t Need Your Love’ vividly illustrates the internal conflict of resisting a toxic relationship. The arrangement moves through distinct sections, each more dizzying than the last as Kerry’s vocals interplay between self-assurance and self-doubt. It’s a track filled with haunting melodies, sharp synths and a satisfying backbeat, an exciting new addition to this era of Pink Matter.
