Bradley Jay – “Tongue-tied”
Bradley Jay makes a bold entrance with Tongue-tied, a vibrant debut that fuses crisp pop melodies with the rhythmic punch of K-pop. Built in collaboration with producer John Ho and songwriter Jimmy Burney, the track was recorded at the iconic Chalice Studios in Los Angeles, adding a polished sheen to its already infectious energy.
From the opening beat, Tongue-tied radiates charisma, pulling from influences like AleXa and Luca Hänni to create something that feels both familiar and fresh. Originally crafted as a Eurovision entry for San Marino, the song carries the kind of theatrical flair and international appeal that fits right in with the contest’s best. But beyond the stage-ready production, there’s a clear sense of excitement and ambition driving every note.
Bradley Jay’s experience performing across all seven continents shows in the confidence of his delivery, and this first single marks a promising start for an artist with a global pop vision and a knack for blending styles into something bright, dynamic, and entirely his own.
TR3VON – “Wake Up The Night”
TR3VON’s Wake Up The Night is a radiant burst of energy born from grief, transformation, and pure emotional release. Blending pulsing beats with soaring melodies, the Minneapolis-based artist turns personal tragedy into a dancefloor-ready anthem that pulses with life.
Written in the wake of his mother’s passing, the track isn’t just a club track—it’s a tribute, a healing ritual, and a call to reclaim joy. TR3VON’s vocals ride the beat with conviction, balancing vulnerability and power as he sings about rising from the ashes and choosing to feel alive again.
There’s a contagious spirit in the production, designed not just to move bodies but to stir something deeper. Wake Up The Night is the first glimpse into his upcoming EP PHOENIX, and if this single is any indication, it will be a collection that merges personal evolution with undeniable groove.
Nieri – “People Pleaser”
Nieri’s People Pleaser is a shimmering synth-pop confessional that cuts deep beneath its glossy surface. With breathy, aching vocals layered over lush, melancholic production, the track captures the quiet exhaustion of always being the one who bends.
It’s intimate without being indulgent, polished yet emotionally raw—a balancing act Nieri pulls off effortlessly. As the lead single from his upcoming debut album, People Pleaser signals a shift from seeking acceptance to reclaiming self-worth.
The result is a cathartic release that pulses with sadness, clarity, and the quiet power of letting go. It’s one of Nieri’s most vulnerable and resonant offerings to date.
Ratfink! – “About Ya”
Ratfink! are seriously vibing with their new single “About Ya”, and it’s got that dreamy, lo-fi charm that feels like stumbling on an old voice memo you didn’t know you needed! Liv and Raph, sharing vocals like best mates passing a mic in their share-house, bring such a raw, honest energy to this track. It’s chill, but cuts deep in that sneaky way, kinda like when you’re laughing with someone and then realize you’re actually spilling your heart out.
The production is stripped-back and warm, giving off total bedroom-pop feels without trying too hard. You can hear the care everywhere: nothing too polished, just real. And the lyrics? Super candid and low-key funny in parts, like that cheeky chorus drop: “this song is about you, I wasn’t gonna tell ya.” Classic.
This tune sounds like late nights, soft lights, and thinking about people you maybe still miss: you guys better not miss this out!
Miles Nxbxdy – “Electric Blue”
Miles Nxbxdy flips the script with his latest tune “Electric Blue”: it’s deep and personal, yeah, but it slaps too. Riding a hypnotic, acid-tinged bassline that swirls like neon through fog, the track walks a slick tightrope between introspection and pure bounce. Jason Freeze’s production hits with that perfect mix of moody and magnetic: minimal, but with just enough crunch to get your head nodding hard!
Lyrically, Miles keeps it raw, unpacking mental chaos, self-awareness, and emotional static without losing the groove. His delivery is smooth but razor-sharp, floating over the beat with this kind of detached cool that somehow makes every line cut deeper. It’s vulnerable, but never soft.. more like dancing through a storm with your hood up and headphones on.
“Electric Blue” isn’t just a confession; it’s a late-night drive, a mental spiral, and a dancefloor moment all in one. Heavy feels, serious bounce. Total standout!
B-MACK – “EXIST AS YOU ARE (B-MACK meets Black-foot Ayeshi)”
On “EXIST AS YOU ARE,” B-MACK tears down convention and builds something raw, ritualistic, and fiercely original. Forgoing lyrics for primal vocalizations, he transforms his voice into a visceral lead instrument: part howl, part spiritual transmission. Backed by a crushing blend of funk-metal grooves, acid-tinged synths, and hand-crafted percussion (yes, actual beans in a drum), the track doesn’t just play, it invokes!
The dual presence of B-MACK and his alter ego, Black-foot Ayeshi, gives the piece a layered, almost theatrical dimension. Each grunt and shriek feels intentional, as if two spirits are locked in a sonic call-and-response. It’s confrontational but deeply meditative, like funk from a parallel dimension.
What makes it stand out isn’t just the daring structure or DIY grit; it’s the emotional clarity that comes through without a single word. This is outsider art with the soul of a fire ritual. You feel it before you understand it.
