If you’re a pop-punk lover, then this song is going to scratch every part of your brain– and then some. Electrifyingly infectious with that classic pop-punk blend of intense percussion and guitar, CMAGIC5’s (“C”) latest single “MONSTER” is coming at you with its anthemic melodies and iconic chorus. The titular monster of this track is going to be relatable for those of you who have ever been trapped in a toxic relationship. It’s something you can’t escape, that destructive cycle that you keep going back to in spite of knowing how bad it is for you. You may be exhausted, you may be longing for freedom, yet that push-and-pull is just so evident that it’s hard to break out of it. “MONSTER” is a haunting representation of such a relationship, and demonstrates how, even if the person is not there, the relationship follows us everywhere like a monster. “MONSTER” is for all you aforementioned pop-punk lovers, enjoyers, and all-around enthusiasts. I, personally, am one of those people, and so “MONSTER” has all the bits and bobs that I love about pop-punk. For one, its soundscape has a spectacular blend of both percussion and guitar; it’s always amazing to hear just how much the percussion can affect the energy of a song, and “MONSTER” certainly takes advantage of how much power it has in a track. You just can’t help but tap your foot to the beat when you listen to it. And then when you turn to the lyrics, you hear exactly how well both the songwriting and soundscape meld into one cohesively fun song. The track discusses a toxic relationship that the narrator is haunted by yet cannot help but return to, and I think it’s so fantastic how the song’s energy explodes during the chorus to mirror exactly how the narrator is feeling about their monstrous partner. C’s vocals are brilliant in this track, but I think the chorus really highlights her amazing voice, singing, “I keep running but you always follow me home / hiding underneath my bed.” The bridge, too, is great. It’s less about the fear that the narrator feels about the relationship and more about the need they feel to return to their partner– “I need you like the world needs rain / You’re the blood in my veins.” It’s a chemical need to be with them in spite of the toxicity. C’s “MONSTER” is a track that’ll have you up on your feet and dancing around, but also tuned into its dark lyrics. Toronto-based singer-songwriter, musician, and recording artist CMAGIC5 (also known as “C”) is creating modern pop tracks that embrace all that coming-of-age has to offer. Her songs have a rock ‘n’ roll spirit, catchy soundscapes and passionate vocals that invite its listeners to imagine themselves as the “main character”. Her debut single “Ready to Run” dropped in 2020, and her similarly titled debut album came out just a year later. Since then, she’s worked alongside numerous artists and collaborated with them in a wide range of tracks. Her music is similar to artists such as Dua Lipa, Miley Cyrus, and Sabrina Carpenter; and C is a firm believer that music is your best friend that’ll help you overcome anything and everything. If you enjoyed “MONSTER”, then drop C a follow and be sure to listen to her vast discography!  Written By Alexa Leung FOLLOW CMAGIC5: Instagram | Spotify  | Facebook

Photo credits: Genius Embracing his astrological sign, James Arthur has released his sixth studio album, PISCES . The English singer-songwriter takes Pisces personality traits, like being introspective and sensitive, and weaves them into the fabric of the album's composition. Shedding light on his connection to astrology, Arthur shares, "I’m a Pisces, and I’ve always resonated with those traits. Each track on this album is a part of me, a building block of who I am. PISCES just felt like the natural title to bring everything together," TRACK LIST: 1. Summer 2. Cruel 3. All My Love 4. ADHD 5. Gucci (Interlude) 6. Celebrate 7. F.R.I.E.N.D.S 8. Embers 9. KARAOKE 10. Yeah, No. 11. Water 12. Hallelujah Quickly rising to fame after winning the X Factor in 2012, James Arthur has been a staple in the pop world since his chart-topping cover of Shontelle's "Impossible." The artist has consistently found himself on the UK charts since his debut, enjoying the success of albums like Back From The Edge and You. Though Arthur is known for his heartfelt ballads, he has chosen to move in a different sonic direction with PISCES , turning to a more ethereal, soft sound. Explaining the shift in his artistry, Arthur states, "I wanted this project to feel different – dreamier and more intimate. People often expect big, emotional ballads from me, but I’ve always had more to offer. This time, I wanted to strip things back and explore a gentler approach." Wishing to connect with his emotions and audience, James Arthur wears his heart on his sleeve in each song on PISCES . The album has a solid mix of ballads and light commercial pop tracks, staying in touch with the artist's roots while pushing his sonic boundaries. "Summer" starts PISCES off strong, engulfing listeners in an addictive pop rock soundscape. The track is one of the more explosive entries on the album, seamlessly moving into the next track, "Cruel," a soft, tender ballad that is a stark difference from the intense choruses of "Summer." "All My Love" picks the pace back up, keeping things sweet and touching while avoiding becoming stale by incorporating catchy hooks and driving beats throughout the track. Turning to themes of mental health, Arthur opens up on "ADHD," addressing the difficulties of living with ADHD and how it impacts falling in love. The introspective track is accompanied by an irresistible pop rock soundscape, showing why it's deserving of being the album's lead single. "ADHD" is followed by a brief shift in genres with "Gucci (Interlude)," switching to a hip-hop inspired sound that breaks up the heavy use of commercial pop on the rest of PISCES . After the detour "Gucci (Interlude)" takes us on, Arthur moves back to intimate ballads with "Celebrate." The track was another single released ahead of the album, showcasing the artist's elite lyricism and emotive vocals fans know and love. A nod to the hit NBC sitcom of the same name, "F.R.I.E.N.D.S" seems to mourn the death of actor Matthew Perry , capturing the hurt fans felt worldwide when the news broke. The track is written in a way that sounds like Arthur is speaking directly to Perry, showing how much the actor's work meant to him and questioning why no one was there for Perry in his last moments. "F.R.I.E.N.D.S" is truly a heartbreaking song that's relatable to those who felt grief over the loss of Perry but can also resonate with anyone who has experienced the sudden loss of a loved one. Moving to themes of lost love and lingering feelings, "Embers" is up next on PISCES . The track showcases Arthur's deep, powerful vocals over an acoustic guitar-laden soundscape, proving to be one of the most beautiful songs on the album. "KARAOKE" brings us back to a more lighthearted, commercial pop sound, featuring a peppy soundscape that makes it easy to dance along to. It's clear why the track was released as one of the singles to promote PISCES as it keeps the momentum going on the album with a fiery pop rock influenced sound. Starkly different from the rest of the album, "Yeah, No." is a highlight on PISCES with its heavier pop punk sound. The track sets a blistering pace, featuring driving percussion, electrifying guitar riffs, and riveting melodies that deviate from Arthur's goal of delivering a soft, intimate approach to his artistry. An acoustic ballad similar to "Embers," "Water" serves as the penultimate entry on PISCES . The track features an acoustic guitar-laden soundscape, allowing listeners to be awed by Arthur's spellbinding vocal performance. "Water" has some of the richest instrumentals on the album, moving from acoustic guitar riffs to enveloping listeners with lush strings as Arthur belts heartfelt lines. Ending PISCES on a sentimental note, Arthur reflects on the pain he's experienced in life in "Hallelujah." The track starts soft and delicate as the artist exposes the rawest parts of himself over light piano lines, later building to the song's climax. Winding down from the ups and downs of the album, "Hallelujah" leaves listeners in a contemplative mood full of bittersweet hope that one day all the pain will be washed away. Building on the success of his previous album, Bittersweet Love , James Arthur continues to deliver his signature soulful ballads while giving fans something new to chew on with the different direction he took on PISCES . The album is a reflection of everything the artist has been through up until this point, showcasing a culmination of love, loss, and pain that makes Arthur who he is. PISCES takes us on an emotional journey many of us can relate to, giving pop enthusiasts a plethora of songs that can be enjoyed for ages.

In "It Is What It Is", Rosie Darling openly says all the thoughts that often go unsaid. Everyone at some point has held on to a one-sided relationship - whether platonic or romantic - longer than they likely should have. Its not always easy to let go of relationships. When there are many different emotions involved, fighting to stay together sometimes seems like the best option to ensure nobody gets hurt. But when that effort is not returned, it quickly becomes clear that maintaining the relationship is only important to one person. At that point, it can be easier to move on. In the song, Rosie sings, "I say, 'It is what is is', because I know what it isn't." This line beautifully and simply sums up this entire complex experience. When you realize that someone has shown you their true self, rather than giving them the benefit of the doubt, it would be easier to accept that their actions are better indicators of their intentions than any idealized version you have created in your head. Rosie Darling's beautiful, unforgettable voice is one that could sell out stadiums. Each lyric she sings with her soft and delicate tone makes the already raw and vulnerable song significantly more impactful. "It Is What It Is" is not just a song with lyrics to be listened to, but to be felt . The song has an almost ethereal, indie-pop vibe, fitting perfectly with the message of the song. It feels somewhat melancholy, but also peaceful and, in a sense, hopeful. The moments the melody slows down and gets quieter during some verses, then picks back up in tempo and volume with a boost of powerful vocals and instruments during the chorus, feels like switching from mourning a relationship to acceptance. "It Is What It Is" reminds me of a song you would hear during a montage during a film when a character moves on from a breakup and looks forward to the future with hope, rather than holding on to what was. On April 25th, 2025, LA-based indie-pop singer-songwriter, Rosie Darling, released her latest EP "Roomful of People". Her new song "It Is What It Is" was featured on the EP. Her new EP "Roomful of People" follows her last album "Lanterns", marking a new era for the songwriter. About her latest music, Rosie Darling has said, "These songs feel elevated, like a more mature version of myself." Rosie Darling's discography is honest, showing off so many coming-of-age moments with her naturally confessional songwriting. Whether about topics like relationships, friendships, or adulthood, Rosie Darling always pushes herself forward with her creative songwriting process. She begins with just a word or an idea that quickly grows into another beautiful song with touching, layered lyricism. Rosie describes her recent works as "a little bit outside of the traditional pop structure." Rosie Darling's non-traditional, unique music and lyrics conveys so much authenticity to listeners that makes her an unforgettable artist in the industry who doesn't just follow popular sounds, but creates them.

The passionate track serves as a love letter to the duo's anchors in life, expressing their longing and gratitude to the places and relationships that give them a reason to return from touring. Exposing the inspiration behind the song's narrative, Seafret shared, "The reality of being a musician is a two-faced coin. On one side you have lots of incredible experiences and get to see places you could never have dreamt of going. The other is that it takes you away from everyone and everything you love and call home. This song is about finding those people, that place and praying they can hold strong until you return." Matching the single's tender, vulnerable lyrics, "Wait" exudes warmth and honesty as Seafret reflect over a vibrant, bittersweet soundscape.

Looking back on our past can feel rewarding and terrifying. All the things we achieved and the people we were, yet the hurt we gained and carry still sits in the cracks. Growing up is scary because life is ever-changing and remembering how easy it used to be as a kid can make us wish for a do-over. “Long Jump,” by Ananya is a new single that channels nostalgia and the fear of growing up. The distance between who we were and who we are and finding the gratitude with it. The track has an intimate energy with the sound textures, indie instrumentation and deep lyricism. She explores her experiences with internal conflict and how in the end it will get easier. “Long Jump” is so raw in the way it showcases something we’ve probably all felt. I know I personally wish I could go back to the days of freedom where my only care was which game my friends and I were playing at recess. “Life was easier then, the girls were friends and the games were pretend.” Ananya spoke about the inspiration for the song and said, “It came from my deep love and appreciation for my childhood and the painful reality of being so far from it now. Growing up is daunting, leaving behind the best days of your life and the place you once called home.” It truly is so hard growing up in a time where social media affects our daily thoughts. We see a glimpse into everyone's life and with that comes comparison and fear for what the future holds and wondering if it will ever be enough or better yet, easier. We’ll never be prepared for what’s to come but we shouldn’t fear that no matter how overwhelming a thought it is. There’s peace in knowing everything that’s meant to happen will happen. Ananya is a Zimbabwe-born singer-songwriter now based in London. She fell in love with music at a young age and learned to play piano, guitar and drums, talk about talent! With her lyricism she fonds inspiration in artists such as Taylor Swift and Joni Mitchell. She writes to connect with herself and her listeners by sharing her personal experiences and the emotions that follow. Ananya released her debut single “Aftertaste” back in 2019 and released three chart-topping singles in Zimbabwe. Along with music, she is also a huge advocate for mental health. She cofounded The Nano Wellness project to address the mental health crisis in Zimbabwe.

Losing connection with someone we once believed would be part of our lives for a plethora of time is a feeling like no other. It leaves us with obstinate feelings of confusion and puts us in a state of self-blame. We flagellate ourselves for the mistakes and actions we made that could have driven this person away from us. Igniting a special kind of connection with someone is an overwhelming feeling, and we instantly feel the potent sparks of an unavoidable fate. However, that strong sense of connection meets a woeful demise that seems just as inevitable. The bond we once had with these people just seems to dwindle and wither like a flower that lacks the necessities it needs to flourish and thrive. All that we are left with are the remnants of what we once had, plagued by memories, that strong feeling of yearning in us that never dissipates, no matter how often we tell ourselves to get over it and move on. Despite the ache we feel, this person, who is a stain in our lives, remains brusque and cavalier to the turmoil we face inwardly. Thus, we are left with the haunting memories of this person until their image and presence wane from our memories. “Memories” by Fox Stevenson is a song that holds the same idea, narrating it into a blend of music and sounds that can truly resonate with listeners who crave authenticity. With lachrymose lyrics like “Wish that I can unlearn you” and “I miss you, you don’t care”, these are words that further pelt us with the reality of our emotions, where we wish to erase this person from our memory, but we have to ruminate with the longing we feel for them and the fact that they don’t care. The song announces its presence overtly upon the first few seconds of its introduction. It starts off with a blend of sounds that mix to create something upbeat, adding an electronic sense to the pop that thrives in this song. As Stevenson’s voice sets in, we can’t help but offer our rapt attention, his voice acting as the centerpiece, tying all the sounds together in a way that makes the song memorable. The lyrics serve a deep purpose, adding vehemence to such a resonating song, emphatic lyrics that are certain to leave their indelible mark on its listeners, encouraging pensive thoughts from us. I appreciate how raw these lyrics are and how accurate they are when it comes to losing connection with someone who was once special to us. It’s a painful heartache that lingers even after we thought we were over it. "Memories" can serve as a beacon of light to those who are incapacitated by their former connections, solely left with the recollections that never seem to fade. The dynamic drum and upbeat sound almost take away from the fact that this song carries so much emotional struggle. Yet, when we take the opportunity to sit in the lyrics, we realize just how heavy they truly are. Fox Stevonson is a British singer and songwriter rooted in pop and electrohouse. He makes music for the 812k listeners he has achieved on Spotify, creating a community essentially, and a fan base for those who love his music! Stevenson crafts his heartfelt music and lyrics in hopes to connect with those who care to listen, those who may need a comforting embrace, seeking reassurance.

Avery Lynch has struck yet again with another sad and simplistic song about love and heartbreak. The title track of her most recent EP, “Dead to Me”, was released April 25th, and is nothing short of a lyrical masterpiece intended to hit listeners hard. “‘Dead to Me' is about a very close relationship I had with someone that I don’t know anymore,” she says. “It’s about missing that person but coming to terms with how the version of them that I knew no longer exists.” Lynch’s delicate voice is paired only over a simple piano line, letting listeners feel as if she is sat down alone in front of them pouring her heart out. This kind of vulnerability is what Lynch is known for, and lets her music be all the more enticing. Lynch sings this song directly to her old flame, which allows listeners to sing along and attach these words to whoever has hurt them as well. She starts by acknowledging all of the things that have been left behind, like old friends and memories, even down to mannerisms that she picked up from them. My personal favorite lyric is found in the pre-chorus, and is posed as a question Lynch is asking herself. She sings, “How do you end up all in and it still falls short? / No ill intentions but that doesn't mean that it doesn't hurt”. In such simple words, she explains the feeling that sometimes no matter how much you love someone, it still will not work. Knowing you’re not right for each other certainly doesn't make it any easier to deal with the fallout. Avery Lynch has been involved in the music scene since she was seven years old, when she first started playing the piano. Now at age 25, Lynch’s love for music has taken her from her birthplace in Pennsylvania to her now home in Los Angeles, to a degree from Berklee College of Music, over 300k TikTok followers, and almost 400k monthly Spotify listeners. Fans of Lynch keep coming back for her confessional tone and heartfelt lyrics. With Lynch’s work, there is no fluff or anything left to soften the blow. Her music is simplistic and raw, and that is what sets her apart. Make sure to follow the social medias below to stay tuned for more music from Avery Lynch.

Laura Pieri’s latest track “Flown Away” beams with fearlessness, as she soars in a new soundscape. Pieri breaks away from someone who was never satisfied. She lifted them up at the expense of living in a loop of sacrificing and redesigning herself. The suffocating isolation parallels the feeling of a bird in a cage.

She sings, “I put everything on the line/I’m not even sorry/ That I’ve flown away.” This anthem will pick you right back up when you’re feeling down. Pieri’s lyrics stand out, emphasizing self-love and escaping the pain of someone who couldn’t love her as she was. Laura Pieri’s expressive voice is made for dance music. Reminiscent of artists like MØ and Tove Lo , her voice carries vibrant color and energy. Similar to her story, she breaks away from her traditional pop sound, creating a track ready for summer.
