Falling in love can bring multiple feelings and emotions to the forefront of your heart. A spark of interest can quickly grow out of control into a larger, raging connection. Maria West's debut single, "Heatwave," reveals what this experience is like. With memorable lyrics that fit the imagery of a "heatwave," rather than simply listening to the song, you can feel its message. Lyrics "One touch and I'm up in flames / No way I leave the same / We run every light in sight / Still call it love when we fight" and "Sunset is fading, I'm burning out. Loved like July but it's bitter now. You swore you've changed but red flags still roar" conveys the experience of a fast-burning, passionate love. Passion is good for any relationship, but like with many things, too much passion can cause later issues. When riding the high of a thrilling, intense romance, its easy to let the emotions influence your decisions. In the end, the emotions can become so much, that it leads to the relationship fizzling out. From the moment the song starts, you are met with an upbeat, groovy sound. It immediately captures your attention and sets the tone for the song. The sound shifts to a more lowkey sound by the first verse. The steady guitar strums and background beats keeps the song at a lively pace. West's vocals are delicate and fairy-like, matching with the sound of the song. It has a certain vibe to it that makes the song sound somewhat nostalgic and dream-like. Heatwave feels like the perfect song that could play during an emotional montage in a cinematic film. It also would be the perfect song to listen to in the car on a summer roadtrip with your windows down and the wind in your hair.

"I Can Tell a Lie" is the second single off Norwegian pop artist MIIA's debut album, Huldra . The album is inspired by the fantastical, rooted in sounds reminiscent of Norwegian folklore. Exploring the point of view of a lover who knows they are the one drifting from the relationship, the song is honest and melancholic. In the singer's own description, "The lyrics are about self-sabotage, regret, and holding onto beauty even after love is lost." The entanglement of atmospheric, instrumental sounds with vulnerable lyrics holds the poetry of this musical tale. Haunting melodies and the electronic-heavy beat give this single a sound evocative of a 2010s hit, dashed with whimsical touches of folk that bring forth the fantastical element. MIIA's strong vocals and unique production cho ices keep the balance between the song's emotional weight and rhythmic engagement. Grounded in the internal conflict of the singer, the tension builds progressively and fades to indicate dissonance. Although the tempo is brisk, the key and instrumentation make the space for emotional impact that is delivered in full by MIIA's honest lyrics and bare vocals. The production favors electronic textures that unexpectedly enhance the elements of folklore sound, while maintaining the juxtaposing modern pop soundscape. The self-described "melancholic pop artist" M IIA made a name for herself with the single "Dynasty," which premiered on Billboard and quickly climbed into the top 5 of major playlists like New Music Friday . The track amassed over one million streams in just 23 days and has since surpassed 325 million on Spotify, establishing MIIA as a powerful new voice in music. Since then, the singer/songwriter has matured into a new sound, polished in her upcoming debut album Huldra . The Norwegian artist has released two singles from the album thus far, "When I Let You Go" and "I Can Tell A Lie." Huldra will be released in 2026, marking the beginning of a new era for MIIA's sound. Written By Azalea Withrow FOLLOW MIIA: Instagram | Spotify  | TikTok  | Facebook  | YouTube

Continuing to show their evolution from their early 2000s debut, All Time Low are back with their refreshing tenth studio album, Everyone's Talking . The latest installment to their impressive catalog shows the band adding new twists to their iconic sound while still channeling the '00s nostalgia, giving fans new and old some amazing music to get lost in. TRACK LIST: 1. [cold open] 2. Everyone's Talking 3. SUCKERPUNCH 4. Oh No! 5. The Weather 6. Falling For Strangers 7. Viva Las Vagus Nerve 8. Sugar (feat. JoJo) 9. Goodnight, C'est La Vie 10. Bubblegum 11. Little Bit 12. Cigarettes & Sabotage 13. Tread Water ( feat. Ruston Kelly) 14. Different Languages 15. Butterflies Hailing from the suburbs of Baltimore, Maryland, All Time Low got their start as a high school cover band before they became the melodic pop-punk icons we know and love today. The band has been an enduring presence since the 2000s, going from a Warped Tour mainstay with their breakthrough sophomore album, So Wrong, It's Right (2007), to peaking on the charts with their sixth LP, Future Hearts . Over the years, All Time Low have experimented with their sound, branching into mainstream pop with 2017's Last Young Renegade , but ultimately staying true to their pop-punk roots. Everyone's Talking celebrates that tradition with the band adding a commercial pop flair to their established pop-punk sound while delivering hit after incredible hit on an almost perfect album. Just what you'd expect from a track called "[cold open]," Everyone's Talking starts off with a stripped ballad that serves as an introduction into what's to come next. The song seamlessly transitions into the album's titular track, giving us a delicious contrast between the tender tones of "[cold open]" and the sizzling pop-rock soundscape of "Everyone's Talking." Not letting the momentum slow at all, "SUCKERPUNCH" matches the electrifying energy of "Everyone's Talking" punch-for-punch, taking the frustration of toxic love and turning it into one of the most infectious tracks on the album. Both "SUCKERPUNCH" and "Everyone's Talking" are lightning in a bottle, showing the brilliance of All Time Low's dazzling, award-winning songwriting. Tying into the whirlwind of love-gone-wrong that is prevalent on this album, "Oh No!" is next up on Everyone's Talking , pairing heartache with a high-energy anthemic soundscape. The song is the perfect balance of commercial pop and pop-rock, pivoting sonically between light verses and heavy-hitting choruses. Another standout entry on this album, "The Weather" is the perfect fix for anyone itching to chase the nostalgia of '00s pop-punk and the era's charismatic power ballads. The track captures the difficulty of trying to move on from lost love, exploring the complexities of seeing someone around post-breakup. Following a similar narrative, "Falling For Strangers" dives into what it's like trying to date after falling out of love but failing to completely move on from a previous relationship. Slowing things down a bit, "Viva Las Vagus Nerve" is next on the track list, giving us another electrifying power pop-rock ballad to jam out to. "Sugar (feat. JoJo )" follows as another midtempo ballad, leaning into more commercial pop elements while still incorporating heavy-hitting pop-rock. Giving us a break from the rich, immersive soundscapes we've heard on the album so far, "Goodnight, C'est La Vie" is a scaled-back ballad like "[cold open]," serving as a small interlude before moving on to the last six tracks of the album. Channeling some boy band energy, "Bubblegum" sounds like something that could've been a One Direction hit at the height of their careers. The track features plenty of lush vocal harmonies and commercial pop pizzazz, easily making it one of the catchiest entries on Everyone's Talking . "Little Bit" switches gears back to being unapologetically pop-punk, giving us a fast-paced, dynamic anthem reminiscent of powerhouses like Green Day and Yungblud . Making it that much harder to pick a favorite song off this album, "Cigarettes & Sabotage" takes the heartache of toxic love and turns it into pure dopamine as All Time Low take us on anenthralling sonic journey with their absolutely addictive melodies and this dazzling guitar-laden soundscape. Coming to the end of an exhilarating work of pop-punk art, "Tread Water (feat. Ruston Kelly )" is a pleasant, intriguing surprise on this album as the band's collaboration with a country artist is rather unexpected. The combination doesn't seem like one that would typically work, but the track sticks to All Time Low's pop-punk sound as Kelly taps into his pop-rock tendencies. "Different Languages" shows the band getting sentimental, exploring a narrative about how to navigate the differences and disagreements that can happen in love. The track is a stunning commercial pop ballad, filled with lush instrumentals and powerful vocal lines. Closing the album out, "Butterflies" gives us one more beautiful pop-punk power ballad, wrapping things up with a thoughtful, introspective lesson on learning to let go and change when you need to. Paired with another lush, guitar-laden soundscape, All Time Low's lyrics in "Butterflies" remind us to stop chasing things that aren't meant for us and to move on to the things that help us grow. Whether you're a long-time fan or hearing All Time Low for the first time, Everyone's Talking has plenty to offer, ranging from blistering pop-punk tracks to pop-rock power ballads to songs leaning into commercial pop territory. The album shows the band's ability to stand the test of time, creating fresh, intoxicating tracks to keep fans satiated and entertained. One of the best, well-balanced releases of 2025, Everyone's Talking deserves to be at the center of everybody's conversations and played on repeat this fall.

Nothing beats hearing a song for the first time and the lyrics paint a picture so perfeclty, subtly and almost like the artist barely had to put any effort in it as it resembles life so well. The song "Cutting Ties" by Elina is exactly one of those songs. It's soothing strums of the acoustic guitar and soft, gentle nature of Elina's voice allow listeners to simply drift off into their own world as Elina talks about theirs. This song breaks into the heartache that is thinking one thing about a relationship, person or situation - putting your entire soul into it - only to realize that it's not working out. This song is so gentle in the music. Everything about it screams softness besides the lyrics. The song starts off with a simple guitar strum and simple drum beat. The music is so easily the perfect match for Elina's soft-natured whispy voice as they go into some of the most beautiful lyrics I've heard written down. Right up at the top of the song in the first verse, Elina flexes their writing abilites describing the perfecet set up questioning why anyone would want to stop what they have with the person their writing about. After all, it seems that Elina stopped everything to make sure things were in alignment with this person. They did everything they could, so why should it end? One of my personal favorite lines is how Elina paints the sky saying, "'Neath the pink and orange sky." This kind of detail fully immerses listeners. Elina is a swedish singer-songwriter who crafts elegant, soft, mellow music and is making sure thath their footprint is permanent in the industry. WIth an astounding 465k monthly listeners on Spotify, Elina is breaking barriers all while sticking to their guns.

Album Art by Maseo Refuerzo Queer Asian American musician, KENTON , looks to prove himself as one of pop’s rising stars with his debut album. The debut album, Sweetmouth, explores queer identity, religion, self-love, and familial love. Sweetmouth was his childhood nickname. It’s a Chinese phrase for an adorable and obedient child. The name was chosen because it represents the processing of shame, guilt, grief, and anger he’s harbored over the years to come to the point in his adulthood where he can finally choose love and forgiveness. I'm Breaking My Father's Heart Vaporize Me Gift of Loneliness Doing Alright 3 AM in Taipei Elephant Mountain Dirty Laundry Never Born Wannabe American Like A River Without You Back to Love Who Would I Be Sweetmouth Let Light In KENTON is an up and coming artist having grown up in Irvine and raised by Taiwanese immigrants. He has previously toured with Katy Perry during her Las Vegas residency and supported major artists such as Benson Boone, Billie Eilish, Cynthia Erivo, and Jennifer Hudson. He is also an actor having appeared in numerous commercials and TV shows including Superstore, The Rookie, and Perfect Harmony. Currently based out of Los Angeles, this album journey actually began when he went to visit his parents in Taiwan for Thanksgiving. It was the first time they had seen each other in six years. Let’s see how it inspired his music. Photo by Maseo Refuerzo The album starts with I’m Breaking My Father’s Heart, a stripped back ballad about choosing to forgive his parents for not accepting his sexuality. It’s a bold move to start an album with a ballad, but it’s the perfect opener given the personal subject matter. Next, Vaporize Me is an about wanting someone to take him away from his problems. Continuing with another fun one, Gift of Loneliness is about being happy in his own skin after coming to terms with his sexuality. Back with another ballad, Doing Alright is a soulful expression of being satisfied with life after breaking away from the church. Jumping into another instant classic, 3 AM in Taipei is about trying to figure out who you are during a drunken night. This one is particularly interesting because he sings the bridge in Mandarin. Elephant Mountain is one of three interludes on the album. It refers to a popular destination in Taipei that overlooks the entire city. The other two interludes are Like A River and Who Would I Be and they are all reminiscent of the relaxing music played at the spa. Fast forward to Dirty Laundry, a song airing out family drama. The second half of the song is a robotic/distorted spoken word where he’s venting about his parents’ treatment of him. Moving onto another ballad, Never Born, which is an absolute tearjerker. His vocals shine on every ballad, but this one hits closest to home. Wannabe American pretty much sums up American culture: stealing from other cultures and passing it off as their own. Winding down the album, Without You, Back to Love, and Sweetmouth show him letting go and forgiving his family after all these years. Free from the weight of resentment, he can finally choose love as is evident with the album closer, Let Light In. As a multifaceted and accomplished individual, his album does not fall short of expectations. Consisting of ballads, bops, and interludes, Sweetmouth is a pop album influenced by R&B, soul, funk, and electronic music whilst incorporating Chinese/Taiwanese instruments. My top three favorites from this album are 3 AM in Taipei, Never Born, and Wannabe American. A major focal point of the album was his culture so, as a result, I learned some interesting facts about Taipei. I loved the storytelling and I resonate with the honest lyricism of his lived experiences. My hope is that it can reach other queer people of color as well! Written By Jazz

Christabel has released her new song, “Done For.” The last single before releasing her debut album INTUITION, Christabel goes into a toxic attachment that makes her done for. One of the more emotionally-heavy moments on INTUITION, Christabel explores how her partner “[doses her] up / [getting her] sick on [her partner’s] love,” not being able to leave the relationship. Describing her partner as “the only cure,” Christabel finds that the only key to her problems in the relationship is her partner. Wishing that her partner would improve upon the traits that “rip on [her] heart,” there’s a sense of wanting to leave this relationship but Christabel finds herself “paralyzed” within the love her partner gives her. “Done For” explores dynamics within a relationship that is bad for someone, but feels too good to leave–an experience that listeners can relate to. While this isn’t a niche experience, Christabel turns the impact of the relationship into her own spin, using medical metaphors and likening the relationship to an illness that poisons her overtime. With these metaphors, Christabel shows her songwriting skills prominently, with “Done For” being the latest edition to her ever-growing discography. With “Done For” being the last single before INTUITION, Christabel captures listeners into the album’s world effectively and allows them to fully feel a taste of its sound before the release date. Christabel is a Kiwi singer-songwriter. Hailing from Tāmaki Makaurau, Christabel started writing songs at the age of five, finding the love for expressing her emotions through music. After deciding to leave school early to pursue a career in music, Christabel found her big break on the show Popstars New Zealand, where she was ultimately crowned the winner of her season in 2021. After this win, her debut single “Ankle Deep” made waves and peaked at #9 on the New Zealand Official Music Charts. As Christabel continues to make waves in the music space and continue to chart higher and higher, fans are eager for INTUITION, set for release later on this year.

As a fan of early 2000s alternative rock, South Arcade hits the mark every time. I was instantly hooked after hearing their 2024 single " stone cold summer " this past summer and no one has gotten a second of peace since. The price of attendence only grew my excitment as tickets were only $25. That is so rare to find in today's culture of live music, with most mainstream artist shows selling for nothing less than $200. The band consists of four members: Harmony Cavelle, Ollie Green, Harry Winks, and Cody Jones. Vocalist Cavelle serendaded the crowd with every note, I was in awe. Harmony Cavelle sings new single, "Fear of Heights" The Conduit venue in Winter Park was an intimate space. I was towards the back right corner and could see perfectly at 5'5"--which is always a concern I carry to all standing room only shows. South Arcade came on stage and my voice was lost instantly. There's something about their music that just makes me want to scream my lungs out. Cavelle and Green did a phanomenal job of staying close to the front of the stage. Even though the venue was small, find a window of visibility is so much easier when the performer gives equal attention to all sides of the stage. It's rare to find a band that hits your taste profile perfectly but I think I've found that in South Arcade. The setlist was perfect. With old favorites like " Silverlight " and " Supermodels " along with screaming anthems " DANGER " and " HOW 2 GET AWAY WITH MURDER. " My friend, who knew none of the words, was jumping alongside die hard fans in the crowd. The four of them had so much energy on stage I wish I had more space to dance around the floor. There were some moshpit moments with few fans circling in the center. The crowd was well behaved and I was able to enjoy the show with plently of room to move around. I will definately be there the next time they come to the US. South Arcade's second EP "PLAY!" will be released on November 21st and you can enjoy the prerelase single " Drive Myself Home " wherever you stream your music!
