“Elephant” described the resilient nature that derives from years of being tired of being the odd-one-out in every room. Wherever you go, you sense an overwhelming amount of eyes latching onto you. Years of tolerating their judgment have beat you down but you can’t bring yourself to accept the intolerance of others. It seems as though your life has been filled with painstaking instances of your own loved ones turning against you the second you show your true self. With those burning eyes locked onto you, you remember the sacrifices you made to finally be comfortable in your own body. After those long, long years of constant fighting, why hasn’t everyone learned to keep their seething opinions to themselves? The mountains you’ve climbed and the battles you fought are evidence enough of the respect you deserve. You finally realize that you shouldn’t have to hide your body, which unashamedly displays the years you spent fighting to be comfortable in your own skin. “Elephant” is an alt-pop dream-pop anthem that utilizes a low tone and register to effectively display the confidence gained over time by the narrator. Throughout this single, Miki Ratsula sings each line with a whisper-like quality. Even as the song picks up with its differing instrumentation, this whisper-register remains consistent. It reflects the self-assured confidence and comfortability explained in the lyricism. The narrator knows who they are and a consistent vocal quality displays this. The instrumentation is a fascinating aspect to this single, as it gradually builds from what it was in the beginning. We begin with simple guitar chords against the vocals. More instruments accompany the guitar and build a dreamy tone throughout. During the second chorus, a unique percussion is incorporated. This percussion is break–core inspired and, while seemingly sudden in the sweetly soft song quality, its slow buildup makes it feel completely natural. It starts to resemble modern bedroom lofi-pop singles and ends this song in a dream-like sweet state. Miki Ratsula is a singer-songwriter from Southern California.

“Mediocre”, Meg Chandler’s latest release, is far from it.  The song reflects a common experience for those her own age, the dreaded beginning of adulthood.  Feelings of inadequacy and competition are prevalent at this pause in life and so, they are prevalent in the song as well. The struggle of trying to catch up to a fictitious idea of success is a burdening one, bringing to light the weight of a lifetime.  As everyone is moving into nicer homes, moving up, and moving out there is an almost aggressive sense that they are moving past.  Meg brings to life the common feeling of not yet being alive.  The relatability of the song holds an almost humorous irony.  The vast amount of young people who feel everyone else is surpassing them, in and of itself, proves that they aren’t. The song is surprisingly upbeat considering its subject matter, but then that is the basis for the piece, surprises.  It begins with an almost retro sounding drum, already allowing the instrumentals to stand out.  This comes to a full stop when Chandler begins singing, a focus that is earned with her incredible vocalism.  She has a voice made for pop, high, but with a range she isn’t afraid to show.  Beyond the chorus, her tone in singing is representative of the feelings she speaks of, cascading down into a spiraling rant.  The chorus, while catchy and impressive in its lyricism alone- truly stands out with her experimentation in instrumentals.  It’s a refreshing sound, each beat being brought by something new that can’t quite be placed.  It’s this creativity in all aspects of the piece that make it more than worth the listen. Meg Chandler grew up in the rural countryside of Shropshire, surrounded by open fields, vinyl records, and a family that adored music.  Carrying on this generational admiration, Meg began pursuing a career as a singer early on.  In her success down this path, she still remembers to carry her roots of this love in her work today. She often references her hometown, the folk style of it, and the aged music she was raised on.  Chandler prioritizes music close to home, whether that be through the vulnerability of her lyricism that is so often based in her reality, or the recognition she receives.  She’s gained attention largely with BBC Shropshire, Radio 1 and 6, as well as Hereford and Worcester.  She can expect more of this in the year to come as she continues creating the impeccably unique work she has.

Toxic relationships have this tendency to take the entirety of your identity and drain you dry. Your whole life ends up revolving around them. Yet, when you ultimately leave them, you’re left with the aftermath of not knowing who you are anymore. That love, in a way, has chipped away at your sense of self so much that you might feel like just a whisper of who you used to be. In Olivia Penalva’s title track of her latest album, “Spiderwebs” muses on what it means to be consumed by a relationship and then coming out of it losing yourself. Unerringly honest, the track pinpoints that exact emotion you feel once getting out of that toxic relationship, and couples that with moody instrumentals to make you feel seen. “Spiderwebs” wants you to feel exactly what the narrator feels. Entwined with its strings and hypnotic beats, the atmosphere developed by the track hits the nail on the head with how enveloping toxic relationships can feel sometimes. The instrumentals are overlaid one another to create a intricate soundscape, but there is a moment at 1:07 when they freeze to allow the piano to come through, silent other than that and Oivia’s vocals. Olivia sings along with the punctuated piano, "I was drunk / You were weak / Now you're holding it against me", and I just really loved how this use of negative space highlighted the intense emotions the narrator was feeling when she realized that she was using herself to feed another person's ego, only to be lost in the end. After that, the track ramps back up in energy, and the somberness fades. This happens again, though, at 1:45, with the strings instead being spotlighted, and Olivia sings, “The truth is I / lost my mind / Change my hair / And changed my size”. This is another amazing moment in the song that captures how exactly the narrator remolded herself into another identity to satisfy someone else, underscored by the track's production. These two moments illustrate well the solemnness of getting out of a toxic relationship. Of course, it is good that you are out of it, but it doesn’t negate the fact that you’ve lost so much of yourself because of it, and now you’re left to clean up the pieces. Combining this grief and catharsis makes “Spiderwebs” an especially beautiful listen, complex in its lyricism, instrumentals, and overall production. British Columbia’s Olivia Penalva is a singer-songwriter whose pop talents were first recognized by her mother, who commented on it while in the car. At that moment, at age eleven, her dream was suddenly realized, and from there Olivia’s love for music blossomed into vocal lessons and songwriting. With accolades from the IMAs for Top Holiday Song and Top Pop Award, two iHeartRadio Future Star Awards, and the Starlight Music Chronicles TEEN Artist of the Year, it is clear that she is a force within the pop scene. Today, her curated pop style has her on track to topping the charts, as she has worked alongside some of the industry’s top producers. She has already been featured on Spotify Canada’s New Music Friday, Amazon Music’s Fresh Pop, and many other amazing placements. She released her debut single at the age of thirteen in 2013, entitled “Christmas for Two”, and her debut EP followed three years later, titled “Weightless”. “Spiderwebs” is Olivia’s latest release. Consider checking out the rest of the album if you enjoyed the title track, as well as the rest of her expansive discography!

"Fascinated", from the studio of Kilian Wes draws on the illustrious nostalgia of the '80s dance scene and propels it into a realm where futuristic sonics reign supreme, a magnetic single that stretches across the vibrant spectrum of synth-pop innovation. A monumental collaboration with the South African luminary Arno Carstens, Wes’s production prowess with Carstens’ seasoned artistry forges a piece that feels both groundbreaking and deeply evocative of a golden era in music. Wes and Carstens’ excitement about their collaboration is well-founded as they meld their individual influences into a seamless entity that captivates audiences and critics alike. Production-wise, there's an undeniable mastery in "Fascinated," a synergy of electronic beats, harmonic layers, and edgy, textured synths—all carefully curated to evoke an experience of longing through the retro-futuristic blend. Carstens' contribution to "Fascinated" extends far beyond his iconic vocal presence; his thematic vision of the song as "a scholarly investigation of desire and the discovery of beauty in unexpected places" casts an intellectual and introspective sheen over the track. The lyricism intertwines seamlessly with Kilian's sonic landscape—fluid, innovative synths partner with rhythmic pulses reminiscent of '80s pop while still marking out territory in fresh, unexplored auditory spheres. Arno's gritty yet melodic voice serves as the perfect vessel for traversing this rich tapestry, bringing depth and earnestness to the single's enrapturing narrative. Kilian Wes, hailing from Cape Town, South Africa, was initially known as a session musician, touring and recording with some of the country’s biggest acts. Along the way, his artistic journey has evolved, leading him back to his roots as a producer, songwriter, and more recently, an actor. Inspired by artists like Metro Boomin and Julia Michaels, who transitioned from working behind the scenes to releasing their own projects, Killian began releasing music initially under the name Kilo Kami. In 2022 and 2023, grappling with personal losses and creative challenges, Killian redirected his focus to only producing for others, touring, and acting. This period of introspection enhanced his artistic perspective, allowing Kilian to reemerge with renewed creative energy. With Kilian’s upcoming single, "Don't You," featuring Moyoza and Gabriela Diamond coming to you soon, there is a sense that "Fascinated" is merely the prelude to an ongoing artistic evolution, one that the world should watch with eager anticipation.

The release of their latest single, Evaporate, has been a much-anticipated drop for fans of the enigmatically electric duo, Global Hypersynth. An infectious synthwave choon, driven by catchy lines like "I just wanna dance", that is sure to make the audience want to get up and groove along with its intoxicating melodies. The vision is clear with this one – Global Hypersynth went in the lab and concocted a pulsating ditty intended to make listeners feel the auditory magnetism vibrate from head to toe. This track is pure fun and doesn't feel the need to delve into the minutiae of played-out storytelling that, quite frankly, already seems to oversaturate todays pop soundscape. Instead, Evaporate harkens on simple, clean lyrics that pair perfectly with its ultra-stimulating beat to create a groovy song for listeners to enjoy from start to finish. Evaporate is a vocal dance banger that blends elements of electro, trance, and progressive house. The track opens with a kick drum and a side-chained bassline, a classic pairing for any dance floor. The song introduces new layers of production-like arpeggiated synthesizers and clap fill-ins that keep the sound dynamic. The vocal performance finds a way to shine through the stacks of instrument tracks – while remaining crisp and clean, yet still atmospheric. There is a tasteful dose of reverb and delay on the vocals that really contributes to the dreamy soundscape the song offers. By the end of the tune, there are layers of vocal runs and effects swirling around to artfully bring the track to its final climax. Global Hypersynth is a UK-based producer and writer partnership that has been putting out some truly timeless synth pop anthems inspired by Disco House. The tandem credits Daft Punk, Purple Disco Machine, Chromeo, Todd Terje, Breakbot, Kungs, Mirwe, "some crazy Italo Disco acts and a host of old French House legends" as being extremely influential in helping to craft the duo's iconic sound. Global Hypersynth is relatively new to the music scene, having just begun putting out tracks within the last few years, but their ever-evolving discography continues to grow and impress international House/Pop fans and critics, alike. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for their next single, Always Have The Music, dropping May 24th – followed by the release of their debut album the very next month, on June 24th.

sunkis’ latest single “All For You” is not only a pop/ R&B banger, but it’s also the kind of song that women hope men would take notes from. In a nutshell, the song is about wanting to give someone what they truly deserve, even though certain circumstances aren’t exactly making that a possibility. While the song’s upbeat vibe creates a fun, lighthearted ambiance, the lyrics tell a much deeper story of an all too familiar situation. The idea of yearning for someone that you know isn’t available is a difficult feeling to cope with. The pre-chorus, which features impassioned lyrics like, “Ohh what does it look like to be treating you right // I’ll be whoever you need every night // What do you need from a man in your life // Yeah you just need someone who puts in the time,”  truly showcases the devotion of someone who is willing to put in the work and show up to create healthy relationship. “All For You” perfectly blends a catchy pop melody with a subtle 90s R&B inflection to create a timeless track. The beginning of the song draws you in immediately with a bit of a slow, sensual pulse and then quickly jumps into a bass heavy beat that carries throughout the nearly two-and-a-half minute long single. Yet, even with the infectious beat, it’s sunkis’ voice that resonates the most. With every word he sang, his voice seamlessly weaved through each section. It’s rare nowadays to come across an artist that doesn’t quite remind you of anyone else, and it’s clear that sunkis is in a league of his own. Pop/ R&B can be a hard genre to master, but sunkis has done it with ease. The Chinese-American born artist has amassed over 1.5 million Spotify listeners with his genre-blurring sound and silky smooth bilingual swagger. His debut single “I Could” came out in 2019, but it was his 2021 single “trust me” that made a significant splash in Asia, garnering over 500 million streams across Asian digital service providers (DSPs). This feat opened up many opportunities for sunkis, including headlining spots at major Chinese festival stages like “SoulPop” and “Sunrise.” His commitment to singing in both Mandarin and English also boosted his popularity in the U.S. and Canadian markets. Coupled with the artist’s growing social media presence and a string of successful college shows across the U.S., sunkis has continued to grow his musical presence in the pop/R&B world, and has also nabbed collaborations with high-end fashion brands like Gucci, Burberry, Chanel, and more. With an ever growing fanbase behind him and an upcoming North American tour in the works, it’s apparent that sunkis’ future in pop/ R&B is eternally bright.

This absolutely ethereal tune reveals the joy in despair and the sadness in celebration. It's definitely the kind of song that makes you reminisce, and it's really effective.

On the first listen of this song, I was on the verge of tears. I have such a strong relationship with my mom, and she is my greatest eternal hero. So, I relate to Jessia in that aspect. "The Woman You Are" is an ode to the best of moms everywhere who have such impenetrable resilience. We as children, especially as daughters, aspire to be even half the women you are. “I’ve been wanting to write a song that celebrates mothers for a while now,” JESSIA writes. There is, of course, a plethora of romantic songs, and even songs about friendships, but songs discussing parents, are few and far in between. Until now. Jessia continues describing the inspiration behind this song,“I love seeing strong and powerful women raising strong and powerful women. I grew up seeing my mom as a superhero and dreamed of living a life half as adventurous and exciting as hers. The Woman You Are’ is my way of saying thank you to my mom for the years of encouragement and selflessness she has given me. I hope this song sparks more recognition for all the bad ass moms in this world because we wouldn't be who we are without them."As long as we had each other.” Jessia continues to describe life lived with someone seen as superhuman. Plenty of children view their mothers this way, as someone who can do literally anything. I think something worth noting is the fact that Jessia describes less than ideal situations, but how those situations helped to mold the tightknit relationship between her and her mother. “You taught me to see mountains as something to move.” There are many encouraging quotes throughout this song, but, this one is perhaps the strongest one, which is most likely why It's the one leading the chorus that we hear many times throughout the song. Our parents are our very first teachers, they are tasked with teaching us right from wrong, how to conduct ourselves as humans in this world, setting an example for us. This song is heavily accompanied by both guitar and piano, both instruments that tug at your heart strings as it is. However, coupled with these meaningful and heartfelt lyrics, and the icing on top, Jessia’s vocals, and you have yourself a masterpiece of the greatest kind. Jessia has captured this sense of immense gratitude that could never be repaid or replaced and has encapsulated the profound love between a mother and a child. This song is a beautiful reminder to hold on to your loved ones and never take them for granted. Jessia’s full name is Jessika Harling. Harling is a singer/songwriter who went viral on Tik Tok with her song, “I’m Not Pretty”, in 2021 and began her journey into musical stardom. Jessia has since signed a record deal, earned a JUNO award for Breakthrough Artist of the Year in 2022, and released an EP, titled How Are You?. Jessia’s online following is quite massive with hundreds of thousands of followers across her social media, as well as over 1,100,000 monthly listeners on Spotify. Jessia has cemented her place in the music world and continues to carve out stats to add to that. Jessia has been described as having conversational lyrics, this is definitely evident in this song, as she seems to be singing directly to her mother and pouring her heart out.
