“Let me introduce you to ... Karhys — a Maltese-Italian singer, songwriter, and producer.
Her latest offering is a light and breezy Pop track. ‘Peace of Mind’ feels like Summer and the smooth groove is perfect to move to drink in hand beside the pool or under the lights.”
“From her original home in Puerto Rico to a stop in New York City, before ultimately landing in Los Angeles, Cely Riva has taken an enriching musical path.
This track takes a look at financial stress through an honest and earnest vocal delivery. The track has a glorious Pop vibe with some singer/songwriter sensibilities to make us really feel the struggle and emotion. ”
“exPorter is keeping the Alt Rock sound alive and well. These Southern California rockers latest release, ‘Letting Go’ feels like a blend of Green Day esque vocals with a Pop Punk musical style that is right at home in 2025 but still harkens back to the early 2000s.
Of course good music is timeless and this track delivers an inescapable build to put it in that category.”
“The track gave me ‘Under the Bridge’ Vibes in a way, though the writing and vocals stand on their own without comparison.
Chavar Dontae might not be reinventing the wheel here, but he is certainly leaning into truth, vulnerability and of course human emotion to give us a truly great song we can feel to our bones.
’Rain’ is a timeless kind of song that I will be adding to multiple playlists of my own. This is music you can feel, and I pay no higher compliment to any art than that.”
“Break ups inspire nearly as many songs as new found love and one could argue they are even more passionate. ‘You’re The Worst’ from Eva James is such a track. Artfully written and performed, the track is an in your face ode to love gone bad.
This is in your face Indie Pop for all of us fed up and pissed off by shitty relationships and even worse people.”
“Hailing from New Zealand, the duo that is Made You Look gives us a stream of consciousness set of lyrics about the reflecting that goes on after a breakup. There is a dreamy ethereal quality to the delivery which is perfect for the lyrics, but also brings a bounceful energy that feels uplifting that brighter times are ahead.”
“Estella Dawn knows how to sell emotion and here on ‘Move Down Lover’ the sultry track straddles the line between sultry Soul Pop and an Alt R&B vibe. Dawn is occupying the same musical space as artists like Teddy Swims on this track but she does so with power, confidence and originality that is clearly her own.”
“Given the tumultuous times we are facing, I frankly do not think enough artists are addressing the political issues of today.
Sam Varga never thought he’d write about politics but recognized the time to speak up was upon us. ‘Minute Man’ is a genre fusing track that takes on the world we live in with artful precision while still maintaining that Commercial entertainment that brings more ears to such an important message.
It’s time the musical landscape did more to address the current state of affairs, so kudos to Sam Varga for stepping up and delivering.”
“Hypnautic is one half of the popular hip hop group Top Flite Empire. ‘Memories’ is a lyrical bomb just waiting to explode in your ears and heart. The track definitely is a tweener in terms of genre but that does not diminish the impact of the talent or writing.
A track to feel and complex enough to give you new nuance each new listen.”
“What’s not to love about a groove-filled jam from Roots of Creation, Afroman, and Edo.G? I mean come one you can feel this one right from the start. ‘Ride Or Die Chick’ is a mantra tof stubborn love and dedication. An ode to loyalty perhaps even when it isn’t deserved.
And the easter eggs of hits gone by is a nice addition. This is talented artists having a good time and it shows.”
“Up From Here comes with a Pop Punk style of sound on their latest song, ‘Under Your Spell.’
Maybe it’s just me, but Pop Punk and summer go together like suntan lotion and the swimming pool. Two things that simply feel right in tandem. This track has plenty of talent and a nice energy to keep listeners invested in the build.”
“Seems like every summer has a S-P-E-L-L-I-N-G hit song. ‘B.IT.E Me’ is lined up to take that mantle this year. Rising Aussie star, POLLY unleashes some post break-up fury in delightful fashion on this Alt Pop reminder to never piss off a songwriter. ”
“Euphoric sadness might sound like an oxymoron but that is what this track from Kings Elliot epitomizes. ‘The Promise’ is about emerging from the ruins of a relationship with a new and better understanding of your self and what you need and want out of life as well as a partner, and in that one can indeed find euphoric sadness.”
“Sara Marie Barron wanted to create a song about navigating your mental health while dating that you could dance to. And ‘Moon’ is exactly that.
The track has a tender vulnerability to go along with some genuine emotional grit all backed by an infectious beat that makes you want to close your eyes and let the music take over your body.”
“April Jai described this track as her coming out musically as ‘WHY CHOOSE’ is the first of her music to mention her bi-sexuality. The sultry sensuous track is well-timed for Pride month, but good music hits any time of the year and this track comes with an undeniable vibe. ”
“Ava Valianti is one of those rare talents that seem to defy age. Both in her performance and writing she comes across as more savvy and wise than any fifteen year old ought to be. ‘Distant’ is a track about losing that tight bond you have with friends as you grow older. Sometimes the shift is about growing different directions and sometimes its about logistics but either way it can be tough and bewildering to let go of what once was so magical and important. Valianti captures the spirit and emotions well n this tender heartfelt song.”
“Chicago singer/songwriter Sean Skyler has been carving a place in the musical landscape while honing his craft. His latest track, ‘Follow’ You’ is a an upbeat and energetic ode to love and reckless abandon that only love can bring. A perfect feel-good summer track to put some bounce in your step and a whistle in your lips.
Or hey ... it could be a jaunty song about a stalker. Only sort of kidding but the track made me smile so I hope it does the same for you.”
“The song has a catchy beat that immediately draws you in. I also like the creative approach taken by JAMMY. He effectively share’s his perspective on political issues and relatable experiences, making the song resonate on a deeper level on political issues as well as things people experience. The song is short but has an impact to whoever is listening.”
“Chloe Star is breaking the mold by redefining what a Pop Star is supposed to be. The 27-year-old singer, songwriter, visual artist, and tribal advocate split her time between Los Angeles and her family’s reservation in San Bernardino while growing up. This past year Chloe’s star has been on the rise, and she is now an in demand queer performer only a short time after making her official debut in 2023.
’TNT’ is a big bold party anthem that almost dares the listener to challenge the in your face lyrics. Of course Star is up to the challenge of proving she has nothing to hide and all the talent to shine. ”
“Clara Lars is a rising star and ‘Better’ is the latest track to showcase her incredible talent. This Alt Pop track explores the end of a complicated relationship and the idea that we can all emerge on the other side of difficulties with as a an improved version of ourselves if we take the lessons and avoid repeating them.”
