While breakups are a tough thing to go through both mentally and physically. The pain doesn’t last for too long before you realize just how much the other person didn’t deserve you. Maddison Kate’s latest release “A Truth” is about breaking up with someone who never really appreciated who they were. Relationships can only work when both sides give their all to not only themselves but to each other. If there is no communication whatsoever about anything then the relationship can’t grow. When you truly love someone nothing else matters, not the past, not the imperfections, not who they used to be. But rather how things are worked out, who that person is going to become and how you will both grow to become a strong couple.   From the beginning of this song, I was immediately hooked as the guitar was so attention grabbing. With the lovely guitar strings being strung I knew just how epic this track would be, especially with her commanding vocals. Her voice was so soul stirring making this entire track powerfully in every possible way. The lyrics were insanely bold with lines like “If only you knew, if you knew, / how much I actually pity you.” They were also full of so much truth and pain with lines like “Precious boy you think that love is just a mask / worn by those who don’t wanna be sad.” I seriously just could not get enough of how raw and relatable this song was. I will definitely be playing this song on repeat for the next month, and I highly recommend you doing the same!   Maddison Kate is a 22-year-old singer/songwriter from Meanjin (Brisbane) Australia. She released her first single in 2021 titled “I’ll Be Free.” While her first single was released in 2021 the music industry is no stranger to her. Since a young age she has been performing anywhere that had open mic nights. Allowing her to fall in love with the world of music and everything that it has to offer. I for one cannot wait to hear what else this talented artist has in store for us next!

“Distant” is a casual, buoyant account detailing the disappointment of a gradual loss, brimming with the innocence of a young heart. Valianti sings “ you say you’re gonna be real busy/ have to go to lots of parties, ” as she mourns the creeping absence of a childhood friend that disconnects during the process of growing up. She tries to salvage the friendship as the two grow distant by questioning, “ hey, do you still bicker with your siblings, ” unable to crack the shifty glass that separates them. Valianti seems to process this grief by the end of the song, “ I smile to you, you wave goodbye, ” and accepts what stole her friend was a social “ sickness ”. Finally, she notes the speed and loneliness of the loss and leaves the listener with an ambiguous cliffhanger: “ no forgiveness ”. “Distant” begins with a lively history of friendship, followed by a freshly processed session of heartache.  Valianti’s sound resembles a softer version of sunny, indie-pop hits like “ Calling After Me ”, with additional bendy vocals that emit tragedy. Ava Valianti’s voice is indescribably sublime, flecked with dynamic fluctuations in tone and style that compliment the gut-punching story of “Distant”. She relieves sadness through sections of fluttery vocals, inviting listeners to sing along. The structure of the track compliments a chronological narrative that flows with an impeccable understanding of purposely placed repetition and the sound required to deliver it gracefully.  In contrast to the bubbly beginning of the song, Valianti sharply inhales as the track closes, which may be attributed to a silent cry. This indicates her authentic struggle to swallow an unfortunate experience. Finally, Valianti’s slight vocal runs advertise her innate talent and the evident passion that's infused into her art. “Distant” converts the remnants of a silent cry into an effervescent hit that explores the vulnerability of loss and the frustration of acceptance.  At 15 years old, from Newbury, Massachusetts, Ava Valianti offers a balanced, impressive sound that is undoubtedly distinguishable from other indie-pop tracks. Ava’s voice is celestial and potent, her lyricism is devastatingly effective, and her instrumentals utterly align with the two. Valianti’s 2023 debut single, “Bubble Wrap” has reached thousands, along with her other popular songs, “Middle Ground”, “Laugh Track”, and “January”, with a combined 100K+ streams on Spotify. Proudly nominated for two New England Music Awards , with plays on over 150 radio stations, Valianti is steadily gaining recognition for her work. She has plans for live performances in Massachusetts and New York during early June and July, which all lead up to the anticipated release of her debut EP in the fall.  Written By Hanna Hathaway FOLLOW AVA VALIANTI: Instagram | Spotify  | TikTok  | Facebook

Spear’s emotional tide draws in and floods out when reflecting on a malfunctioning relationship in new release, “Strangers”. She notes how she’s “ sour ” and the subject of the song is “ bitter ”, emphasizing a lack of complimentary flavors that represent an imbalanced relationship. This person is also “ sugar   coated ”, perhaps to hide their bitterness and tendency to play “ games ” and attempt to “ fool ” Spear. She includes contradictory imagery and action like “ let go/ just to hold on ” and “ we sit in silence/ like it’s all the rage ”  to symbolize the push and pull of a defective relationship. The track also presents with a tragic throb of familiarity, where someone Spear knew intimately is now just a stranger. Spear cries, “ I thought we would make it/ but now we’re just strangers ” serving a dull pang of disheartened longing followed by a whip of resentment. “Strangers” is a prickly, pop-rock anthem that mourns false hope and celebrates truth.  Spear’s static vocals, metallic instrumentals, and thorough textures communicate emotional injury and a potential grudge against an incompatible lover. She opens with a 2000’s-fashioned muffled whine and an exhaustive electric strum that engineers a solid bridge. This section performs calculated rests with rapport between strings and percussion, polished with minimally vibrato vocals that decorate auditory space. The chorus is lined with a high-pitched, slow riff with single note progression that confidently reverberates this part of the track. Spear reiterates her influential “ strangers ” line followed by a notable guitar solo layered with her voice in the background. With a classic punk-ish vocal belt, Spear leads the listener to an assertive ending that isolates her last word for a memorable conclusion.  UK musician, singer, and songwriter, Tally Spear is renowned for her authentic, engaging lyricism delivered by an almost-emo, pop-rock sound. With thousands of monthly listeners on Spotify, Spear shares relatable stories in a way that attracts listeners from Great Britain, Australia, and the United States. Spear’s sound is comparable to Charlotte Sands and Honey Revenge , but certainly stands in its own distinct light. Her most popular song on Spotify is “Self Confessions”, followed by “Want to Want You”. Spear also tends to display incredibly creative and stylish cover art, showcasing symbolism that corresponds with her music.

My highlight of 2025 was decided at The Wrecks concert in Atlanta. This being my third time having the pleasure of seeing the band live, I had no doubt I would have a great time. I bought my tickets for the show back in October and have been counting down the days ever since. The band comprises four members: Nick Anderson, Billy Nally, Aaron Kelley, and Nick Schmidt, who each do a phenomenal job of showcasing their talents on stage. The show started exactly on time at 9:20 p.m. with the venue coming alive at the sound of pounding drums. Nick Anderson opened with a stunning performance of the title track from their 2022 album, "Sonder." I have been The Wrecks' number one fan since 2021, and every song sounds like I'm listening to it for the first time. Unfortunately, I got to the venue a bit late and stood in the upstairs section where there was plenty of space to see, as well as safety rails to rest when my feet started to throb. The view from my spot was perfect for arriving closer to the start of the actual show. I had never been to the Masquerade venue before and was pleased with how open and accommodating it was. At the back of the main floor were free water stations that definitely helped wake me up after my four-hour drive to Atlanta. It's much more fun to go to a concert where the band has no bad songs. A few days before the "INSIDE:" began, the band posted a video on Instagram where they revealed the official setlist. After watching the video I could feel my head exploding with excitment as all of my favorites such as: " Freaking Out ," " Out of Style ," and " Milwaulkee's Best " were shown. My excitement was cut short when the caption informed me that they would be changing their setlist every single night of the tour. However, I had nothing to worry about as all three of those songs were played at my show. My throat can still feel the lyrics. The Wrecks make a great effort to include the audience in their shows. They do an amazing job of knowing when to pause between songs. As well as Anderson's iconic journey into the crowd during the encore performance of one of their most popular tracks, "Favorite Liar." This Wrecks also showed me my first mosh pit with an appearance from a woman on the floor who called herself "two drinks." The crowd danced in circles after their declared leader as the band ran around the stage, making sure everyone was included. This concert was such a treat, and my respect for The Wrecks grows stronger with every release. If you find yourself searching for an affordable, guaranteed good time, go with The Wrecks every time.

Runnin’ High is synthy-pop rave material with dreamy vocals that deliver a surge of light romance through echoing lyricism. Reverberation of lyrics like “you and I” put emphasis on the two and creates an occasion that isolates them from the world. This is followed by “in the night, I need you” and an assertion of their togetherness to showcase their shared, exhilarating connection. Noting “no looking back,” and “don’t think twice,” the artists are “Runnin’ High” and charged with adrenaline for a message that shimmers with late-night enchantment given the fragility of their relationship. TheProfessR, Shivani , and Outertone provide an account of a summery love that spikes adrenaline with an upbeat melody and entrancing vocals to deliver a stellar sound. This electro-pop track has an almost EDM build-up and bridge to a bright chorus that entices a broad range of pop listeners. Layered vocals support a busy sound that nails rhythmic literacy and is, overall, catchy. “Runnin’ High” even seems to include a string instrument for pieces of the chorus, which adds balance to electric and synth instrumentals. A high-energy drumming pattern compliments organic vocal rests that contribute to the success of the track. Shivani’s nimble voice makes “Runnin’ High” a breezy song that pairs well with major chords, fast beats, and reverb. With a 3-5 second fade-out ending, this track works best using the “loop” function on most music platforms.  TheProfessR started making music when they needed a tactic to study for a finance exam. This resulted in a passion for producing and songwriting, along with being a DJ. With over half a million streams on Spotify, TheProfessR is a fresh perspective on a mix of British and South Asian cultures without conforming to genre. They are inspired by Reggaeton, AfroBeats, Afro-House, and Liquid Dnb. Their first single, Black Opium, was released in 2022 alongside their first EP “Conversations With a Crackhead”. “Runnin’ High” is already in the top 15 of Spotify’s “Best Vocal Drum & Bass”, and we are so excited to see what’s next for TheProfessR!

As we go through life, we change every single day not just with our views on certain things but how we act and how we look. There is so much that we change about ourselves in order to fit into society's norms. Whether it’s for a new friend group, for family to view you as older or stronger or simply because we don’t recognize ourselves anymore. No matter what the thought process is we find ourselves never being able to be our true selves. We are constantly changing for others while hurting ourselves at the same time. If we can't be who we are around family or friends whatever the case may be then are those people really for us? “People Pleaser” by Nieri is a track that not only makes you think about who you are but also to stop changing yourself for those who aren’t worthy.   “People Pleaser” begins with such an ear catching sound.

The song’s title means having a significant other, and complications of a love triangle become the core of the lyrics. Marcella was in a relationship with someone, but happened to fall for someone else who just got broken up with. However, Marcella did not want to leave the relationship she was in, so she only stayed friends with the person she was secretly in love with. Eventually, she realized that her feelings were reciprocated when her crush began to show signs that they had fallen for her as well. This was the precursor to the end of Marcella’s relationship. “Had a Heart” is an alt-pop song with guitar chords on the forefront.

“Forgot To Love You” by BERENICE details an unhealthy relationship that one partner wants to make work while the other doesn’t because they know it won’t last. The love they have for one another is faltering, that is if it still exists. More and more proof gets brought to light everyday that they are not a match, including BERENICE’s partner being toxic. Then, it doesn’t make sense to her when partner wants to continue their relationship, despite it being obvious that they aren’t working out at all. Her partner adds another level of toxicity to themselves when they act like they don't understand why she doesn’t love them back, a ludicrous mindset when they’re the cruel force driving them apart. The song begins with just a slow guitar and whispering vocals from BERENICE. After the first chorus, she contributes a full singing voice as a heavy bass flows into the background. As the song advances, the guitars become more distorted, and her vocals become even more powerful with emotion, adding another poignant element to “Forgot To Love You”. The song then falls into an electric guitar solo, making the song switch from pop to alternative, also making the single genre-bending. With BERENICE credited as the songwriter and one of the two producers, it’s without a doubt she’s a musical genius, especially when it comes to these genres. BERENICE is a music artist from Italy and is based in London, England. She began her music career in August 2024 with the release of her debut single “Little Red Heart”. She has been named in several music publications, including but not limited to Rolling Stone and she has also been recognized by BBC Radio . She has big plans for her music career, one of them being her first of three upcoming EPs, and she just performed live at the Folklore Hoxton in London for the Nashley Summer Tour on May 20, 2025, and there shall be more live performances in the future. BERENICE is a fantastic and incredibly talented artist! Written By Ashley Adams FOLLOW BERENICE: Instagram   | Spotify  | TikTok  | Facebook  | YouTube   *Sponsored Post - Discovered on Musosoup.
