Madison Beer has kicked off her 2024 year of music with an impressive bang. Her latest single, “Make You Mine”, is an infectious pop anthem designed to be played on repeat. While the singer’s previous album, Silence Between Songs, contained more melancholic ballads, her newest release is a stark difference from the 2023 project. Instead, “Make You Mine” is an upbeat, optimistic track about taking chances with romance and letting yourself give in to your desires. Released right in time for Valentine's Day, Beer proves she knows how to write a catchy love song while maintaining her iconic soulful vocal style. In the chorus, Beer emphasizes her passion for her partner by utilizing earworm phrases like “I want to feel the rush” and “I wanna taste the crush,” leading up to the hook: “I wanna make you mine.” However, my favorite line is found in the second verse as the artist sings: “Are you dreamin?// Now I got you up// Would you look at us? Fantasy to life// And I’m screamin’, screamin’.” With these lyrics, she emphasizes that this feels like a fairytale romance that can only exist in her wildest dreams. But in actuality, it is very real, and she is overwhelmed with joy. With the jovial lyrics and energetic production, “Make You Mine” deserves to be topping every pop music chart. "Make You Mine" has all the right elements for an irresistible pop hit, from Beer's compelling voice to the electrifying production. The song begins with solely the vocals using a sound effect that emulates a broken record, as Beer sings the beginning phrases of each line of the chorus. This intro instantly catches the listeners attention while foreshadowing the peak of the track. The unique effect paired with the looped phrases may represent the habitual nature of Beer confessing these feelings to her partner, repeated so often that it's like a broken record. This is a clever component to the production, starting the song off by highlighting Beer’s remarkable talent. As she sings through these lyrics a second time, the synth bass is subtly introduced while higher synth waves lull the listener into the ethereal atmosphere. The first verse introduces the percussion and a faint ticking sound, as the bass synth continues. In the pre-chorus, the percussion becomes more prevalent while the four-note descending arpeggios that form the melody make their first appearance. The chorus has an escalating structure that builds on the dynamic of the track, starting with the arpeggios. As the song progresses, the production introduces additional vocal layers, then harmonizing vocals, and then an added percussion. By the end of the chorus, the song reaches the full production with each additional component of the soundscape introduced. This production maintains through the post-chorus while the broken-record effect of the intro returns. The refrain transitions into the second verse, where the production of the first returns with additional vocal harmonies. When the chorus returns, Beer utilizes the higher register of her voice to showcase her impressive range. The song ends with a subtle refrain before the track closes with just the harmonized hook. This meticulous and dynamic production heard throughout “Make You Mine” is the perfect introduction into her new era of music. Madison Beer is a singer, songwriter, producer, and author from New York. In 2018, she independently released her debut EP, As She Pleases. The song included her hit song, “Home With You,” which peaked at #22 on the Billboard Mainstream Top 40 chart and earned her the title of the only independent solo female artist on the chart. After the massive independent success that proved her undeniable talent, she signed with Epic Records in 2019. Then in 2021, she released her debut full-length album, Life Support. Beer has received immense praise from top tastemakers in the music industry, such as Billboard, V Magazine, Nylon, and NME. “Make You Mine” is the singer’s first new track since the release of her 2023 sophomore album, Silence Between Songs. This album earned Beer her first Grammy Award nomination for Best Immersive Album. Additionally, 2023 was the year she released her memoir, The Half of It, which details her life growing up in the spotlight. After her career year, Beer is kicking off 2024 with her highly anticipated The Spinnin’ Tour. Starting on February 24th in Sweden, she will be traveling throughout Europe and North America, wrapping up in Los Angeles on June 13th.

Anna Duboc’s first release of 2024 “One Touch (feat. Ariza)” is a beautiful track brimming with romantic simplicities that’ll make your heart lighten with every listen. “One Touch” reaches for the in-betweens of relationships; sometimes, it’s the little things that bring people together, like a light touch or a shared look. Think of a friendship that is slowly blossoming from its beginnings into something more– that’s what this song wants to highlight, the way those innocent glances and laughs transform into butterflies in your stomach. It’s having to take that risk when you know that those little feelings mean so much more to you than just friendship. “One Touch” wants to show you how the initial buds of love can be represented by a simple question, like asking if you’re okay after a hard day. Abundant with shimmering strings and light vocals, Duboc and Ariza have completely blown it out of the park with “One Touch”. The instrumentals are especially beautiful– the song begins with these twinkling strings that immediately tell you what kind of story this track is about to tell. They’re soft, innocent almost, and once Duboc’s vocals come in you’re swept into this feathery soundscape. The instrumentals pair overwhelmingly well with the songwriting, and when you close your eyes you can feel exactly what Duboc is singing about. Early love can be as simple as a hand on the shoulder, a smile, or a conversation, and I think “One Touch” demonstrates that so lovingly with its lyrics. As Duboc sings, “Sometimes it’s the simple things / Just as long as we agree”. Budding relationships are underpinned by these little actions and once you start noticing them, you really notice them! I love how the song closes with the line “Why did I notice? / I shouldn’t notice”, which I feel perfectly sums up what those in-between moments become as you fall in love. “One Touch” really knows how to draw you into those youthful feelings with its soundscape and lyrics; together, they form a lovely song that brings you back to those days when love was new. Since her debut single “Feel the Glow” dropped in 2019, seventeen-year-old singer-songwriter Anna Duboc has exploded in the pop scene. With over 40 million collective streams across all platforms, it is clear to see that her music brings people together through its vivid storytelling and personal touches, transparent and willing to represent these moments through music. Similar to artists like Olivia Rodrigo and Lizzy McAlpine, Duboc’s musical stylings are sleek and infused with emotion. “One Touch” is actually part of Duboc’s unreleased series and, if you enjoyed its tender and sweet soundscape, consider perusing her impressive discography to find more just like it.

From time to time, we're all longing for something more; grasping for a change, a sign, or a chance at something better. Sometimes it feels as though no matter how hard we try, we can't do it alone. This melancholy desperation is captured perfectly in RuBe's latest single, "Set Me Free". The emotional lyrics of this track reflect feelings of anxiety and a fear of staying in one place for too long. The line, "I fear the walls are getting smaller" confirms this, as metaphorically, we all relate to a situation that feels fruitless and claustrophobic. RuBe expresses that she's, "in need of some salvation - Cause there ain't nobody here for when I fall". This is something we instantly resonate with as we live out our daily lives. We carry our struggles independently until sometimes, they become too much to carry alone. In moments like this, it's natural to want nothing more than to escape, to have a helping hand, and to be set free from the stress. RuBe takes this idea one step further by masking those desperate lyrics within a fast-paced, drum and bass style instrumental. We begin with the sound of birds and organ-like synths beneath ethereal vocals, gentle reminders of the human nature of the song. Abruptly, we're met with double time drums and a kicky bassline that slowly reveal their true vibrancy going into the pre-chorus. The methodical filtering in the build-up lends beauty to a bright chorus, where we hear the sound of strings for the first time. The simple line, "Set me free" is repeated wrapped in heavy reverb and delay. Gated synths are added as sound effects, driving the cinematic drop into the next verse with ease. The instrumental ebbs and flows like waves, drawing in listeners and keeping us engaged before we even realize why. It's a tragic and beautiful sound that enraptures the intense vocals with grace. RuBe (pronounced Ruby) is a 19-year-old UK based singer-songwriter. Having been a musician since the young age of six, RuBe has proven her expertise writing music that she cares about. She is often inspired by her family and the people closest to her, citing her younger brother who has Down Syndrome as a major influence. Her first three singles, "TRYING", "BROKEN", and "Because of You" debuted in 2023. Each song was part of a trilogy written to bring awareness to the condition. RuBe sports a chevron tattoo behind her ear, a symbol that she is always listening and looking out for her brother. This passionate creator has gained the support of BBC Introducing, being listed twice as a, "One to Watch" artist. In January 2024, "Set Me Free" was trending as an "On Repeat" track during its release week. You can find the song streaming now on YouTube and Spotify.

One constant in everyone's life is that at some point we all must sit down and self reflect. Self reflect on the choices we've made that have affected us and the people around us. It's hard for anyone to do but Sofia Dragt makes it look easy. In her song, I Live After I Died, Sofia digs deep within herself to create a somber song where she reflects on her personal journey. As such, she takes a soft and airy intimate approach the song that allows listeners to feel connected to her song, her journey and to themselves. You get to take a peek into Sofia’s world through her lyrics that detail her personal self reflections and developments as she grew older. Sofia, being a clearly talented pianist, used the classic Schimmel piano to fill the space between the lyrics of this song by creative repetitive melody that underlined her soft vocals throughout the entire song. This, along with the forlorn melody created a calming, reflective atmosphere that is only enhanced by a cello and a violin that swells beneath. The three beat melody also allows Sofia’s vocals to shine through and for there to be a perfect balance Sofia Dragt is a Netherlands-based artist who has consistently released music since 2013. She creates music as an artist and as a composer for documentaries and short-films. Along with her singles she has previously released she has also composed music for a Dutch nature documentary series 'WAD' (about the islands of The Netherlands) by Ruben Smit, that aired on Dutch national television in May of 2020. Ruben smut and Sofia also had the opportunity to work together for another documentary called 'De Schatkamer van de Veluwe'. Sofia doesn’t seem to be slowing down and I look forward to seeing what creative direction she goes with in her future projects.

Surface is a highly relatable song about putting yourself out there only to be overlooked; a sentiment that many listeners are sure to empathize with. Malin pours his heart out in this one, drawing his audience in with the emotion expressed through his silky vocals. This track was deeply personal for Dom, who drew inspiration from the times he “felt left out” as others failed to neither “accept” nor “listen to” what he had to say – a feeling best encapsulated in the chorus “Seconds from the surface, but I’ve been left out, trying to be noticed, but I’ve already drowned”. As you listen to Surface, there is an overwhelming vibe of loneliness that stems from being “always on the outside, the outcast looking in”, as Malin so eloquently puts it. He conveys with poignancy a sense of invisibility as he is left feeling like “a voice without feeling” when he is simply “trying to belong, trying to find my place”. All in all, Surface is a tastefully artistic narrative deserving of being added to your Spotify Liked Songs playlist and played at high volume whenever you need a song to make you feel something. Surface has strong influences of indie rock, alt rock, and folk – giving it big Coldplay/Kings of Leon/Maroon5 vibes. The simple, clean drum patterns and chugging guitars on the chorus allow the vocals to shine through and elevate the track to a higher altitude. The added layers of piano and smooth backing vocals work in tandem to strengthen the hook and boost the song's energy. Dom's velvety voice cuts through the storm of blazing guitars and booming drums, serving as the focal point of Surface all the way through its final crescendo. From a formulaic standpoint, the pairing of dynamic instrumentation with a strong lead voice is what makes this tune so special and gives it a level of emotion rarely heard in indie pop music today. Dom Malin is an immensely talented singer-songwriter who broke through on the UK pop scene two years ago with the release of his debut EP Something Never Said, Pt. 1. Dom’s sweet sound is self-described as being “dreamy folk with a little rock thrown in for good measure” – with “old folk guys like Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell”, as well as The Lumineers, Maggie Rogers, Father John Misty, and Damien Rice being key contributors to the charming style he has developed over his young and burgeoning music career. When asked why he makes music, Malin proudly declares that he does it “to move people, to give people perspective” in hopes of “the listener escaping into the music and finding their own answers”. Well said, Dom. An authentic artist with absolute heaters throughout his discography? Sign me up as the new President of the Dom Malin fan club.

Starting your day off with affirmations is definitely one of the best ways to boost your self-confidence, self-worth, and self-love. But what if you changed the way you incorporated them into your life? Instead of repeating them out loud, how about hearing them in a song -- one that provides such a dreamy and magical experience with a blend of a catchy beat, R&B and pop? “ I’m So Lucky ” by Nette is one of the most optimistic and euphoric songs I’ve ever come across, throwing lots of positive energy my way throughout the entire song. Nette, and anyone else listening to it, will feel a sense of joy, luck, and magic being thrown their way with lyrics like, “ Everything I need is flowing right to me ,” and “ Only good things coming my way .” Nette’s bubbly and jolly personality shines through the track alone, but the positive affirmation-like lyrics add onto it, guaranteed to make her listeners feel so delighted while following along. The song is so cute and is such a unique idea to have both herself and her listeners come back to if they’re ever feeling discouraged and need a reminder of what they’re worthy of -- a “ world  [that] tastes sweet as honey .” My favorite verse in the song is, “ I’m so lucky, life’s like magic. Visualize and I attract it. If I want it, I can have it. I’m so lucky, lucky, lucky ,” because it gives a run down of how to attract all the unlimited things that we’re all worthy of having in this life of ours. As long as we believe in ourselves, we can manifest whatever we want and create the life that we desire! This reminder that Nette gives is so important! It’s teaching everyone how to manifest, believe in themselves, and grow their confidence, which are all forms of self-love. Nette is a pop singer, songwriter and producer from Vancouver, Canada, which is where she kickstarted her career by playing all over the city. Her songs are very personal and can be vulnerable, but also optimistic. They give us a glimpse into her personal struggles, doubt, and road to self-discovery. She shares her songs on TikTok, while also posting song covers on both TikTok and Youtube, building her audience on the platform to over 200,000 followers. With just 7 songs currently released, her most streamed song is “ Feelings ,” nearing an impressive 60,000 streams on Spotify.

There is no shortage of party songs out there. Bangers about going crazy and having the wildest night ever are abundant, as they should be; they're a great listen. But they are not always relatable. For those with mental health issues like anxiety or introverts with a low social battery, these songs don't reflect their reality. Parties are less exhilarating and more exhausting. However, Madeline Rhode's newest single, "Bailing on Your Birthday," tells the story of someone who does not like to party. The track tells the story of prioritizing one's mental health by skipping a gathering. Rhode's song is honest and raw, yet upbeat and fun with its pop-disco fusion instrumental. It is the best party anthem for those who hate parties. The most impressive aspect of Madeline Rhode's debut solo single is the lyricism. The songwriter proves her prowess in depicting mental health struggles with such vulnerability and empathy. In particular, how she writes about insecurity will ring all too familiar to those who suffer from similar issues. For instance, the lyric "I know I'm meant to practice what I preach / But I'm so scared of nearly everything." In just this one line, Rhode succinctly and accurately describes what it is like to have severe anxiety and not knowing whether to trust oneself due to that inherent fear. And "Bailing on Your Birthday" is chock-full of similarly thoughtful lines chronicling identity, self-esteem, and mental well-being. It is important to have music representing these topics. Those struggling with similar issues can listen to Rhode and know they are not alone. The message that it is okay to put yourself first and "bail on someone's birthday" if that is what you need is a lesson more people need to hear, and Rhode cleverly delivers it through a catchy, fun pop jam. "Bailing on Your Birthday" is not just a good pop song but a necessary one. "Bailing on Your Birthday" is Madeline Rhode's debut single, but not even close to her first song. The New York City-based artist has released music under the stage name "MuMu" since 2018. Rhode believes in writing about topics important to her and the world, and her music primarily deals with overarching political issues. Under Mumu, she released feminist women-empowering anthems like "Free the Nip," "Ladies First," and "The Bitch in Me. In just these past few years, Madeline Rhode has seen tremendous success. Various mainstream media across print and screen have covered Mumu. The New York Times, Variety, the Hollywood Reporter, and Netflix's Big Mouth all featured the artist, and Rhode co-wrote all the music to the 2020 movie-musical Best Summer Ever. Mumu currently holds over 100,000 streams on Spotify, and within its first week, "Bailing on Your Birthday" already has over 1700 streams on the platform as well. Madeline Rhode is currently working on releasing her first album under her legal name, which will include "Bailing on Your Birthday" sometime this year. The debut single is available to listen to on streaming services now.

Singer, songwriter, and actress Piper 57 has returned with her first single in over a year, “Love Bombing”. This song delves into a fascinating encounter that she experienced with a love bomber, who told her he loved her on the third date. In the first verse, Piper says this guy has a PhD in mixed signals and now he’s out in the real world with these skills. She tells him to take a day off because “[he’s] got enough to pay the bills.” For Piper, it’s embarrassing that he’s love bombing her, calling him a loser “when [he’s] bread-crumbing for attention.” She was doing just fine before he showed up, and now all he tells her is nonsense. Piper calls this guy an architect who builds “skyscrapers and [their] future in [his] head.”  He’s willing to do anything to get her, and Piper can see right through it. In the ridiculously catchy bridge, she says that on the first day he called her beautiful, but then the next he acted like she was nothing. Then, on the third day, he got down on one knee. And after all, the only thing she can say in response to all of this is “nah.” “Love Bombing” is a really unique electronic pop song. Piper 67 and the producers created an incredibly interesting and immersive soundscape for the track. The way “Love Bombing” was produced meshes very well with the theme of the lyrics. One of the big themes of the song, “sugar dating”, works perfectly with the overall vibe of the song as well. Throughout the whole song, there are some really cool effects on both her vocals and the instrumentation as well. While the verses have a lighter production, the choruses lean really heavily into the beat, and your body naturally moves back and forth while listening. The bridge is not only catchy because of the lyrics, but also because of the background vocals. Piper’s background vocals and her main vocal track go back and forth, and it’s really fun. Overall, this song is super fun to listen to, and it definitely can get stuck in your head. Piper 57, otherwise known as Laura Julie, is a singer, songwriter, and actress based in Berlin, Germany. Following her motto “My Way or the Highway,” she’s traveled from Los Angeles to Berlin to Las Vegas. She became a member of the Revolutionary Socialist Organization, where she fought against capitalism and the patriarchy. Meanwhile, she was struggling with her mental health. She started her phase of sugar dating during the COVID-19 pandemic, which came with a whole slew of challenges. However, she found support in a poker player and hotel owner who sponsored her artistic education and therapy projects. Now, she has ushered in a new, self-confidence era she calls “Spiritual Sugar Baby.” Although “Love Bombing” is her first song in this new era, she is sure to impress with all of her subsequent releases.
