With a voice that cuts through like a flare in the dark, Anna Thoresen is rewriting the rules of confessional pop. Born in New Jersey and now based in Los Angeles, the queer singer-songwriter returns with 'VOODOO DOLL', a spellbinding blend of alt-pop, soulful R&B, and rock-charged intensity that channels heartbreak into something powerful, pulsing, and unflinchingly honest. Built from melody fragments that haunted her in her childhood bedroom and finished in her LA home stud

Blurring the lines between human emotion and machine precision, Almost Alive is reimagining the shape of modern rock. Helmed by New Jersey-based artist and producer Evan Kanter, the AI-assisted rock project returns with the new album 'Hypnotica'. Fusing the spiritual tension of Tool and A Perfect Circle with cutting-edge production tools like ChatGPT and Suno, Almost Alive invites us into an immersive sonic experience where sound becomes ritual. Following the high-octane debu

From the volcanic landscapes of Madeira Island comes a pop force erupting with dark glamour, cinematic ambition, and dancefloor-ready defiance. Meet ÆTHR, the rising electro-pop visionary whose latest single ‘Santa Maria’ distills raw inspiration into a gothic, high-octane anthem of self-liberation. Written in a flash of divine chaos, the track fuses pulsing synths, haunting melodies, and a message that’s as bold as the artist behind it: be unapologetically yourself. Inspired

After nearly two decades of honing her voice and vision, Dublin-based singer-songwriter Megan Burke returns with 'Medium Ugly', a no-holds-barred anthem that takes aim at the beige mediocrity of modern dating. Bold, slick, and dripping in sarcasm, the track finds Megan turning personal frustration into empowerment, refusing to hand over her power to any man in a “different font.” Known for blending R&B, disco-pop, and soul with fierce lyrical honesty, Megan has cultivated a l

There are songwriters who tell stories, and then there’s Paul Roland, a singular figure in British underground music who conjures entire worlds. Blending baroque pop, gothic rock, and psychedelic textures with a novelist’s sense of detail, Roland has long been the architect of miniatures that feel like sonic cinema: strange tales of plague doctors, cursed inventors, mythic seductresses and time-travelling misfits. With more than 25 albums behind him, Roland’s music sits at th

Since his debut in 2018, Sugs (pronounced “sh-ugs”) has become one of underground music’s most delightfully unpredictable forces. Known for his sharp wit, erratic flow, and lo-fi maximalism, he’s carved out a weird and wonderful niche that defies easy labels. His music might draw from alternative rap, punk, techno, or pop, but no genre ever sticks for long, because nothing Sugs creates ever stands still. His latest track 'I Ain't Lyin'!' sets the stage for something bigger: a

In a world where the divine is indifferent and the damned must scream to be heard, CARRIE ABYSS makes music that feels like a ritual. The London-based Assyrian-Armenian artist, known offstage as Bernadette Lara, has long been unafraid to dive into the shadows. But with her new concept EP 'Hey, Sinner', she is commanding the darkness. Rooted in ancient Assyrian myth and haunted by modern betrayal, 'Hey, Sinner' is a bold, genre-defying work that channels alt-pop, industrial, a

Emerging from the shadows of Atlanta’s underground, r4vn is summoning a whole world. With the release of 'raven’s inferno', a self-produced body of work drenched in occult mysticism and gothic surrealism, r4vn offers us a portal into a realm where vulnerability and darkness dance hand-in-hand. Blending witch house, fairycore, and spectral electronica, the album channels raw emotion through foggy synths, fractured beats, and r4vn’s ethereal voice, a haunting signature that lin

Genre-defying, emotionally charged, and fuelled by pure vida, MAURINO is an artist who refuses to be boxed in. The Chilean-Dutch trailblazer returns with 'Solo Una Vez', a smooth yet vibrant Latin-pop banger and the closing track on his latest EP. As always, he’s not just making music, he’s making moments, building bridges between sounds, cultures, and hearts. Created in collaboration with Caribbean-Dutch hitmaker Ir Sais, 'Solo Una Vez' tells the story of that one love you t

At the intersection of soul, jazz, funk, and pop lies Soul de Vienne, a genre-defying collective led by Austrian composer and producer Roman Schleischitz. With their newest single 'Stop Being Blind', the group takes their signature cinematic sound and infuses it with hard-won wisdom, emotional depth, and a message that cuts to the heart: sometimes the greatest act of love is learning when to walk away. Built on live instrumentation, swelling brass, warm Rhodes keys, and heart

There’s something thrilling about an artist who chooses anonymity not to hide, but to liberate. Enter TUNTUN, the masked, faceless alter ego of genre-hopping South London creative Nathan Jamal (also known for his introspective work as Roseland En Why Cee). With his debut EP 'TEXTURES', TUNTUN bursts onto the scene with a heady, lo-fi blend of UK Bass, Jungle, Garage and leftfield dance music, channelling the chaos, rhythm, and soul of the city that shaped him. Spontaneous and
