Zeke The Zombie Slayur - ‘be right there’
Zeke the Zombie Slayur unveils ‘I’m Glad I Made This’, a 26-track concept album that interrogates selfhood, jealousy and the pursuit of artistic independence through sharp lyricism and layered, philosophical storytelling. More than a rapper, the Brooklyn polymath builds a fully realised creative universe, highlighted by the standout single ‘be right there’, handling every aspect of production, visuals and design as he reframes hip-hop as a “frequency of love.”
Magali, a Cult - ‘Come With Me’
Magali, a Cult releases ‘Come With Me’, an uptempo sci-fi pop dance track that blends nostalgic warmth with futuristic shimmer, pairing emotional longing with buoyant electronic energy. Born from early sessions for ‘The Lady, The Swallow, The Sorceress’, the song reflects a period of transition and distance, capturing the pull between closeness and separation within her richly digital, multidisciplinary world.
Southside Café - ‘Like Sparks From The Sun’
Southside Café close out the year with ‘Like Sparks From the Sun’, a sweeping, emotionally charged single that grows from delicate introspection into a powerful, cinematic wave of rock. Showcasing Anders Ljung’s commanding vocals and Johan R. Norberg’s melodic craftsmanship, the track blends ’90s alt-rock echoes with a timeless, deeply personal sound.
Curfew - ‘Flaketown’
Curfew release their debut album ‘Black Doll’s Eyes’, a cinematic hard-rock statement 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 modern exploration of human connection in an age shaped by technology.
Alina Ly - ‘The Way Of My Lover’
Alina Ly’s debut album ‘Shoebox’ is a deeply intimate and cinematic collection that transforms a decade of emotion into cathartic release and quiet healing. Anchored by the raw, single-take recording ‘The Way of My Lover’, the album captures loss, acceptance and a new depth of vulnerability in her songwriting.
