“Die For Someone” is the quintessential diary entry of someone so desperately wanting a person, any person, but knowing you are your worst enemy in love. It’s easy to think back on all the people who freely gave us their heart, and they were good enough, but we let them go because settling for good enough can be lonelier than standing in a room full of people. We see our friends getting into relationships, going on trips, having fun dates, and receiving cute texts from people they really care about, and they’re so excited for where the future might lead them, but sometimes we quietly wonder if they’re settling for mediocrity in exchange for a warm body in bed and an assured plus one. It’s a saying as old as time… you find somebody when you’re least expecting it. As comforting as that sounds, what happens if you’re not only expecting it, but searching for it? Is that love less genuine? Was it fate? Or do people convince themselves they love somebody just to not be alone anymore? Many people in this life will proclaim they’ve finally found the one with every new relationship, and it becomes glaringly apparent they’re going to keep saying it until it finally sticks, and then they can say they knew it from the moment they met. It’s not selfish to be alone. It’s not wrong not to settle. It’s okay to leave a relationship that leaves you unfulfilled. We all want to find that somebody that we would die for, but there’s great strength and maturity in becoming the person you want to be first and then waiting to find that love that is organic, real, and once in a lifetime.

In their easy dance-pop single, “Chasing,” NEIMY, Solar State and NSH tell the story of a woman who optimistically waits for her significant other to return to her. A person she once enjoyed running after for the thrill of it. Now she’s grown weary, recalculating the relationship and her emotions stating, “I’ve got to get you off my mind/ I go numb most of the night/ I know some say it just takes time/ These scars will heal I can’t rewind.” Self-worth is realizing what you don’t deserve, and in this case, she doesn’t deserve being left behind. Sometimes it’s daunting, feeling alone, like you’re in the middle of the desert with no real direction of where to go. But “Chasing” has a dreamy outlook on the situation through its melodious production and dancefloor track, giving the listener a reason to believe that she eventually finds her way back home. With the immediate acoustic guitar and soft background instrumentation in the beginning, the song gradually increases in tempo and dynamically—to the point where it feels like the music itself is running. Though it sounds thrilling, the lyrics themselves protrude a different tone as the woman in the story admits that she no longer longs for the chase, “Now I’m just chasing, chasing, chasing the thrills/ I used to crave them, crave you/ Remember how it feels?/ Now I’m just chasing, chasing, chasing them thrills/ But I don’t wanna chase no more.” NEIMY’s vocals pick up the harmonious melodies and make them soar, flying over the playful instrumentation of euphonic whistling and bouncy beats. “Chasing” is an artful collaboration that combines the brush strokes of profoundly suave production and heart-provoking lyrics, creating a serene song despite its message. Solar State is no stranger to the electro-pop world, starting his career back in 2011 and earning up to 1 Billion + streams over the years since. Based out of Amsterdam, his songwriting and production skills have garnered him a widespread following on social media and streaming platforms from all over, with his music going Platinum 25 times. His midas touch on music has landed him a secure spot within the industry, opening more doors to working with other well-established artists and creating non-stop hits. NSH is one of those outstanding artists, collaborating with Solar State for the first time on their compelling single, “Chasing.” On the rise, NSH (pronounced as NASH), is a Swedish music producer and songwriter. His artistic career started in 2016 with his first released single and collaboration on “Survival,” an electronic craze. Since then, he has developed a mild beachtop dance sound, which can be heard in his newest collaborative single, “Chasing.” With new music on the rise, there is no doubt NSH is an up and coming musical grandeur.

Delora is about toxic relationships, control, and dependency. Why is it called “Delora” over other names? New Divide: Delora is the amalgamation of the toxic people in a relationship that manipulate their partner, controlling them through guilt and conditional love until they become the only one you rely upon. The name just came to me, I kept coming back to re-write the lyrics, but something about Delora stayed with me. You have a live stream of this song on Youtube from 10 months ago, but recently just released it on Spotify. How does it feel to have a project you have worked on for this long finally reach its spotlight? What challenges arose within that time? New Divide: This was one of the earliest songs in our set, we’ve played it live for about a year now. It is the song that has evolved the most for us, morphing from the rudimentary grunge track you heard in that early performance, into the finished piece that we just released. It feels like that track has matured and grown alongside us, we have only been a band for a year, and Delora feels like the first track that truly captures Our Sound. Why did you choose the way you composed this song to tell this story? New Divide: Delora went through so many iterations over the last year. The final version feels like it captures the story within the lyrics, mirroring the slow burning angst that we feel, morphing and evolving as it grows into something dark and twisted. I see you have a show coming up on February 25th at Aatma in Manchester, United Kingdom. How long have you guys been performing? How do you guys try to improve each performance? New Divide: Our first show was on December 11th 2021, headlining Gullivers in Manchester. Once we got a taste for it we were hooked, since then everything has seemed to escalate. We are always looking ahead to the next big thing we want to try. We have always been a band that strived to be something more than the typical “rock band”, the synthesis of sonic and visual art that bands such as Wolf Alice, Pale Waves and The 1975 achieve has always inspired us, trying to re-create the aesthetic and atmosphere of a music video on stage. If you could give listeners any advice whether it be musical or general life advice, what would it be? New Divide: Be willing to change your mind. I find it easy to grow attached to songs and ideas, they are all so deeply personal and I invest so much time into their creation that it can be heartbreaking to let them go. It took over a year of creating and throwing out version after version of Delora to finally reach the final iteration. On your Instagram, you show some behind-the-scenes of the music video to Delora , what can viewers expect? Any surprises or things you wish for viewers to notice? New Divide: We always strive to create something bigger than the song. We are so heavily inspired by film that we have been dreaming up music videos for each song from the moment they were created. The clips we shared were just the start, we have something big planned for the final video for Delora . Interviewed By Sophia E. Henry FOLLOW NEW DIVIDE:

" One year hotter than the other." It's no secret that our planet is getting destroyed more and more each day. Climate change is a serious issue, but yet a lot of us choose to ignore it.

There will come a time where it's impossible to ignore if we don't do something to heal our world.

You’re really bringing back an iconic era of 90s R&B with this new single “Faraway Lover”, it’s incredible! What was the inspiration behind this new track? Zara: Thank you so much. The song is influenced by my love for 90s R&B as well! I wanted the song to feel like summer and transport listeners to the tropics. I actually first began writing this song as a teenager when I was helping clean out my mum’s wardrobe. I found a poem she wrote from a school project she completed in the 90s. It felt so nostalgic, I was quickly inspired to write chords, lyrics, and transform it into an upbeat r&b song. How did you get your start in music? Zara: I have been involved in music since an early age and I have always loved performing. Over the years I have learnt piano, bass, double bass and guitar. I fell in love with singing and playing acoustic guitar. Since the age of 14 I have been regularly performing acoustic gigs at venues that include bars, corporate functions, breweries, cafes, weddings and private events. I play covers that include favourites from different decades and genres. In recent years I have begun releasing my own original music as an independent artist. I was checking out your IG and stumbled on your art page, and I am so impressed by the work you and your mom do! Can you share more about how this all came to be and what you both do over there? Zara: Thank you so much! Absolutely, my mum and I started an Instagram page called Aurora Art Co for our artwork back in 2020 when I was completing a Bachelor of Fine Arts. Since we started that instagram account we have been lucky enough to receive so much support for our artwork. Some highlights for us have been opening our gallery and running classes/workshops, launching our art print collection, being featured on channel 9’s ‘The Block’, and collaborating with different brands. Last year our artwork was featured on clothing with a slow fashion brand called ‘Arlo and Olive’. We also collaborated with Dr Lewinns and our artwork was featured on their skincare gift boxes which are sold in chemists across Australia. If you could have dinner with any artist in the world, who would you pick and why? Zara: That is a tough decision to narrow it down to one artist! If I could pick one artist it would be Alicia Keys. She is a strong woman of colour who I have looked up to since I was a little girl. Her incredible talent and passion in her music has inspired me across my life and through my music. She is one of the reasons I have pursued a career in music. You’ve performed some awesome gigs in your career from what I can see, so which one has been your favorite so far? Zara: I have been really lucky to play some great solo gigs at different venues over the years! My favourite gigs are any performances with an interactive crowd that will dance and sing along to the music. I have really enjoyed playing at corporate functions too for Melbourne Victory Football Club and for the AFL ANZAC day function in 2022. I am so impressed by your talent, in many different facets, and everything you’ve done so far! What can we expect to see or hear next from you? :) Zara: Thank you so much! You can expect to see more music and accompanying art collections. Since I am a multidisciplinary artist I aim to create artwork and music that are an extension of myself and experiences. I aim to play more gigs this year and hopefully release an EP with my original songs too. Interviewed By Sarah Curry FOLLOW ZARA:

We're all guilty of overthinking at some point in our lives. Especially when you've experienced trauma from past relationships, it's hard not to be constantly afraid that you could mess it up again with someone else. They could look at you the wrong way and you'd start to feel like they're losing interest in you. 'Cheap Silver Lining' by LULLANAS highlights the thoughts we rummage through when you're overthinking subtle changes in a relationship. You're stuck thinking, "Are they mad at me? Did I do something they didn't like? Why do I always screw everything up? Do they still want me?". Sometimes we just have to take a deep breath, tuck away our insecurities and realize the special connection that we have with someone. Mixed with a folk themed acoustic guitar and a Foster The People reminiscent bass, this indie pop track pulls you in instantly. Soft vocals of the sisterly duo bring their poetic lyrics to life. This song was co-written and produced by acclaimed artist Luke Sital-Singh, who LULLANAS invited to sing harmonies on the track, ultimately creating the perfect outcome of ethereal harmonies and an undeniably catchy groove. The style of this song reminds me of something that would be a part of The Hunger Games movie series soundtrack with it's plucked acoustic strings and the emotionally light and airy vocals, additionally combined with haunting harmonies and phrases ending in minor chords. LULLANAS is a duo project by twin sisters Atisha and Nishita Lulla. Raised in Pennsylvania, the sisters grew up listening to a vast variety of music all the way from The Beatles to Shania Twain; but their true musical journey all started with the simple gift of a guitar from their dad when the girls were headed off to college. The Lulla twins used music to get through their most stressful times, particularly when they were doing Summer internships in New York City. They found themselves performing anywhere and everywhere that they could if they were given the chance. They've even performed in the produce section at a Whole Foods; how many artists get to say that?! Their career together changed forever when the girls went to India to visit their grandmother where they were given the chance to record one of their songs in a studio. Their debut single, 'Don't Say', has now surpassed over 3 million streams on Spotify since it's release. The girls hold onto a solid 500,000+ monthly listeners given they haven't released anything since 2021. But they are coming back strong in 2023 with 'Cheap Silver Lining' and much more music to come.

In her newest single, "Crocodile," Baby Pink links with singer-songwriter Kieran to create a sense of comfort after ending a deceitful relationship in her real life. Kieran, as the feature in the song, essentially plays the rebound who suggests he has more to offer Baby Pink than her previous romantic partner. Being fed up with her ex, Pink entertains the possibility of Kieran being a better fit, which could explain her constant efforts to communicate with him and build a stronger connection. However, Pink's ex seems confident their relationship isn't over, creating a barrier between her and her chance at finding new love. Although, she does understand that solidifying her relationship with Kieran as a couple could officially sever ties with her old flame. And in "Crocodile," Baby Pink and Kieran share their curiosity about what it could be like if they finally decide to take that leap. “Crocodile” by Baby Pink, featuring Kieran, is an average-length track spanning three minutes and thirty-eight seconds. Within eight seconds of listening, the tone is clear, with a distorted ambiance backing a voice recording that eventually leads into a guitar and percussion-filled instrumental. Once introduced to Kieran singing on the track, the purpose behind the collaboration makes sense. Aside from Baby Pink and Kieran being friends, their voices blend well together. But gluing the song together is the overall arrangement, which finds a way to be precise in creating the necessary space for each musical part and driving the track forward. If the upcoming music releases by Baby Pink are as well put together as the single, then her EP launch is a project to be excited about this year. Baby Pink is an independent music artist from East London, United Kingdom. Her sound is known for blending various musical genres, from Electronic to Hip-Hop and Neo Soul. In 2018, Baby Pink began releasing music on streaming services with her single "Timing." And as of 2023, she has released ten singles, some of them included in her Ego Sun Fire Rising EP. Being recognized on platforms including BBC and POM, Baby Pink has become a familiar face in the music industry. But with news of her EP launch set for February, Baby Pink isn't shying away from any opportunity to show up and show out. Written By Jeffrey Ade FOLLOW BABY PINK: FOLLOW KIERAN:

What started off as a love note to the city her relationship bloomed in, has become a colorless letter to listeners of the relationship that has now wilted. In her electrifying alternative pop single, “Miss You in New York,” Jaime Deraz dwells on a past relationship that both started and ended in her beloved city, New York. From kissing on the train and sharing cigarettes walking in Greenwich Village, to people watching alone on the High Line, the song is a reminiscent journey through a relationship that once was. Its powerful first pre-chorus, “Cus this city lost its color/ I see everything in black and white/ We were blinded by each other/ Couldn’t see all of the exit signs,” encapsulates the feeling of falling head first for someone in different places, not realizing that one day those places will hold a chrysalis of memories you can’t forget. “Miss You in New York” is a trip through the city, with a musical track that is as bittersweet as the core of the colorful kaleidoscopic Big Apple. “Miss You in New York” is consistently hit by maverick waves of electric synth beams, illuminating the song’s beautiful lyrical melancholy throughout the entirety of the track, “Shared love for you but you had to spend it/ Now I’m broke and on the floor/ Now I miss you in New York.” These words are empowered by the music and are infiltrated to the listener’s heart through Jaime Deraz’s sweet and smooth alto voice. Though the music and lyrics act as polar opposites, there’s something in the synthetic production that has a hint of an optimistic tone. Yes, lyrically she misses him in New York, but there’s hope in the upbeat, heart-pounding drums that the city of lights will penetrate through her heart and heal it for good. Jaime Deraz is a singer/songwriter from Long Island, who has the gift of crafting emotionally raw lyrics based on her real-life experiences. Her emotional pull doesn’t only come from romantic relationships, but also from her familial relationships. Once as a caretaker for her mom who struggles with a motor neuron disease, Jaime takes her emotional pain and vents through her music. As an influential artist within the music industry, Jaime Deraz has released 150 tracks since 2019 with an over 17 million total stream build-up. Her music has been featured on many Spotify editorials like Dance Rising, New Music Friday Deutschland and New Music Friday Switzerland. Her musical impact doesn’t only stop at being featured on global editorials and releasing songs with major labels, but she also has a foot in the corporate door. Having co-founded the record label, faded BLUE, Jaime also acts as an executive director of the company. With her prestigious accomplishments, Jaime Deraz is the perfect example of what it means to use your platform to be a positive influence. Her hope for her music to reach people around the world and act as an outlet for those who have experienced emotional trauma is just the icing on the cake.

The pain of losing someone special is an awful feeling. Heartbreak is a pain so real it's hard to express with words. Tom Speight’s newest release, "The One”, is a ballad that completely encapsulates this feeling. “The One” is a wildcard song. Though the lyrics are incredibly heart-wrenching they are juxtaposed with a haunting but lively indie pop instrumental that creates a dramatic soundscape for you to nestle into. This track hits all the nails on the head. It's lyrically intense and has the vocals to match. Tom's artistry is uplifted by the wonderfully talented Carey Willetts who assisted in producing the song. Tom and Carey’s work led to the mixing of an incredibly impactful song. The lyrics of this song are written in such a captivating manner. Tom's knack for lyricism does not go unnoticed in this track. Throughout the song, he paints a picture of himself going back and forth with his lover. Simultaneously begging for the relationship to last while condemning this person for ending it. One of many lyrics that showcase a bit of this push and pull is found in the second verse. “How could you run away with the light // left me in the dark // stealing my heart.” These lyrics are so smart in the fact that they mirror a traditional love song perfectly. The metaphor of this person running away with light is not only referring to the “light” love brings into your life but also references his partner in this way. This person he loved dearly is his light and without them, he is left in the dark. Left without love, left without "the one." Tom also uses the typical love song trope of “you stole my heart” however, completely flips it on its head. Stealing a heart in this context alludes to the idea that maybe stealing someone's heart isn’t that great. Having great love in your life does not mean having something stolen from you; it means sharing something with someone else. Tom makes this point loud and clear with this verse. His lover stole his heart and that's not something “The One” would do. Tom Speight is a UK-based singer/songwriter who has already made quite a name for himself in the UK pop scene. His work has been used in a handful of popular shows and movies such as To All the Boys and Sex Lives of College Girls . He is continuing to set fire to the music scene with his unique take on the indie pop sound with two albums already out we can expect more from this incredible talent.

Let's face it. Love is freakin' tough, and probably one of the most difficult feelings to deal with. One minute you think someone is the love of your life, and the next they're breaking your heart. When you're really deeply in love with someone, it can be really hard to let them go even when you know it's time to. Those first few weeks, or sometimes months, being without that person who used to bring you happiness and comfort are the hardest. How do you go from talking to someone everyday, to never talking to them ever again? You have to keep yourself away from your phone before you mess up and regretfully text them. Staying strong and distracting yourself is the only option you have. "Clean Cut" by BIZZY is the ultimate sad-girl anthem for all of us who have been hurt by someone we once trusted and called our best friend. Written with her friends, Jules and Chey, on a rainy day in their living room, BIZZY said "let's make the most relatable and sad break up song ever". Not literally, but that's what I imagine she said. Lined with soft finger-plucked strings on guitar throughout song, the song builds until you can't help but scream the lyrics along with BIZZY's raw and emotional vocals. I've always said you know it's a good song when you feel like the song was written for you, and that's exactly what 'Clean Cut' does. The poetic, vulnerable and relatable lyrics are guaranteed to get stuck in your head. This will become your go-to song to put on repeat when you need a good cry, or you need reminded not to call the person who made you sad in the first place. BIZZY is a singer-songwriter from Maryland who is currently based in Nashville, Tennessee. Inspired by incredible talents like Taylor Swift, Julia Michaels and Rainbow Kitten Surprise, she has created an intimate and raw indie-pop sound that she can call her own. In 2022, BIZZY kickstarted her career when she posted herself singing her original song, 'Anybody', on TikTok which got over 10 million views. She ultimately decided to officially release the song as her official debut. After continuing to release new songs, BIZZY has now played her first ever headline show and plans to take her live performances all the way to London in the next month!
