Mouth Water - ‘JJ (Give and Take)’

Mouth Water releases ‘JJ (Give and Take)’, a tender, mostly instrumental track written for his newborn daughter, capturing the quiet intimacy of meeting someone before roles and familiarity take shape. Stripped of synths and focused on mood, the song stands as a deeply personal highlight from the Italian producer’s upcoming album.

Alina Ly - ‘The Way Of My Lover’

Alina Ly delivers her debut album ‘Shoebox’, a deeply intimate and cinematic collection that transforms a decade of emotion into cathartic release and quiet healing. Featuring the raw, single-take recording ‘The Way of My Lover’, the album captures loss, acceptance and a newly unlocked depth of vulnerability in her songwriting.

D’chrome Foster - ‘Pack Yo Bagz’

D’chrome Foster delivers ‘Pack Yo Bagz’, a feel-good pop-rap single that blends smooth R&B melodies with modern hip-hop energy, inspired by throwback post-2000s pop and the joy of escape and positivity. Drawing on his journey from NYC hip-hop battles to acclaimed off-Broadway performances, the track showcases his genre-blurring versatility, theatrical flair and emotionally resonant songwriting.

Curfew - ‘Flaketown’

Curfew are back with their debut album ‘Black Doll’s Eyes’, arriving November 25, a vibrant hard-rock release blending raw intensity with reflective lyricism from the rising North Dublin trio. Recorded at Temple Lane Studios, the album features standout track ‘Flaketown’, a nostalgic yet sharply modern exploration of human connection and digital-age distraction.

ÆTHR - ‘Santa Maria’

ÆTHR returns with ‘Santa Maria’, a dark, cinematic electro-pop single that fuses gothic atmosphere with club-driven intensity, marking another bold step in his rise as an emerging pop visionary from Madeira, Portugal. Written in a burst of inspiration and later expanded into a high-octane, theatrical soundscape, the track reflects his mission of confidence, self-love and unapologetic self-expression.
