“Life is hard. You may find yourself not wanting to be somewhere anymore. Lila Dupont “Deep End” visually shows someone surrounded by water soaking in their thoughts. The keyboards allows you to find compassion in the song and really relate to it.”
“This record is honest and painful. Looking yourself in the mirror and examining if you were the reason something didn’t work is not for the faint of heart. Fritz is captivating and vulnerable beyond his tender years. ”
“This record is FRESH AF. It screams swagger and effortless cool. I felt like I was right there with Vel getting my nails done feeling sexy and devious. Vel paints a vivid picture of the salon and brings you smack bang in the centre of her world. ”
“Rap feels like its entering a new era. Trap doesn’t hit as hard, and fun is coming back to the genre. Lance drops clever bars, bouncy flows over a skipping beat that has groove and fresh pockets. Rap is crying for a new sound and ‘Crop’ is a step in the right direction. ”
“When pop is done right it truly is amazing and Bre really gets it right on ‘Keep Going Back’. Its catchy, vulnerable but still packs a punch. The chorus feels like fighting your way out of a crowded room after being held hostage. ”

“Sometimes you just wanna tell someone GTFOH!? This song says it for you and then some in every which way possible. It’s loud, its brash, aggressive yet somehow extremely charming. The peacocking vocal performance is reminiscent of a young Jagger and its in your face production hooks in seconds. The next time someone gives you their unsolicited opinion, just press play on this... you’re welcome.”
“Tabe hits us in the feels with this gut wrenching ode to figuring out why the hell we’re all here, how to make sense of our own little worlds. Vocally the record is arresting and lyrically so honest and reflecting. This is a special song. ”
“This record has the potent feeling of boy next door who has finally come of age. He’s lived some life, read some books and seen some things that changed his perspective on life. It’s charming, honest with a shy confidence. It’s asking questions we all want answers to... ‘Do you have an opinion
On the current events of our time?’”
“Loving someone is hard. Fool of Me is about finally allowing yourself to love someone but having to engage in a broken heart. The worst part is watching them be with someone else. Jordyn Sugar walks us through pain and the process of getting over someone. We will never get why they always want to know if we are ok when they choose to make a fool of you.”
“Allow the beat to take over your body and go up and down then Bom Bom. Chapa Bom Bom is a Latin & Hispanic dance mix that will have you on the dance floor all night. Whether its with your partner or a night out with friends you will find yourself engaged with every tempo this track has to offer regardless if you only understand parts of it.”
“Kids at Midnight deliver chilled vocals over an energetic production. The song allows you to escape to a retro summer of endless fun. The Pacific is a track that will excite you to explore everything summer has to offer and the fact the track was written, recorded, and produced by the artist makes it an even more classic hit. ”

“Jazz is poetry and on ‘The Bush’ HoodyBoi is speaking my language. The record epitomises that jazz is not only not dead but its thriving, fresh and relevant as ever. Glorious chords, subtle vocals paired with infectious grooves. This is the sound of summer 2023.”
“Taken from his new album ‘Some people scream, some people talk’ 05 Honda is a serious head bopper. The groove in this record is infections just as is Wakai’s laid back flow. The chorus is catchy and potent and has us feeling like we’re riding shotgun as Wakai shows us his world. ”
“This record is equal parts raw passion and beautiful chaos. Vocally ‘Good Impression’ is arresting and sonically its big without being overpowering. This is more than a song... Small Million just gave us an anthem!”
Rating: 4 out of 5
“If a Guy Ritchie film was a song it would be Cooper T’s chest out anthem Original. The record screams bravado and Manchester swagger. The lyrics are cheeky and angsty and the production just makes your body move. Taking from their new EP ‘Sapiens’ Manchester might just have their next hometown heroes emerging. ”
“ Imagine giving someone a mic and they just go hard. I QUE, comes in strong with his latest track “I Go Hard”. Whether you don’t feel getting up going to work or working out just turn this track on for motivation. I can defiantly see in a movie sound track like Creed or a viral audio on IG or TikTok. Who needs a hype man when you have this song.”
