Ron Morven’s Six comes as if it happened because it needed to, because it was built from moments, handwritten thoughts, and instinctive songwriting, and carries a reflective calm that seeps in slowly and stays put. Rooted in alternative rock and electronic pop, the record merges modern production with the organic…

British artist 50METHING returns with the striking alternative single, “Slowly Through The Night,” like a quiet confession left playing in the dark. Written, sung, and recorded at home, the track was shaped during a long and uncertain period that followed a cancer diagnosis in 2023. Created between surgeries and treatments,…

Jessi Robertson steps into darker, deeper territory with “Shadow War: Singularity,” a striking reimagining that opens the door to her Dark Matter Singularity Series. Dropping January 16, 2026, the track revisits one of the most thematically loaded moments from Dark Matter, but this time it feels expanded, unsettled, and quietly…

Mick J Clark hits a new stride with Pole Position, that culminates as the moment where years of songwriting graft finally line up just right. With fresh backing from an international publishing house and a UK indie label, Clark steps forward as a seasoned storyteller whose songs are built for…

For You Brother’s “Father Help Us” exhales raw in a noisy world. The Aiken, South Carolina duo, John Davis on music and Phil Noah on vocals and lyrics, have known each other since middle school, and that long-standing creative trust shows. Released on August 1, 2026, the single feels less…

Allison’s Invention, the creative moniker of Philadelphia-based singer-songwriter and composer Allison Tartalia, kicks off 2026 with a sharp exhale in the form of “Over It.” As a synth-pop release valve and cinematic confession, the track brings you the moment when disappointment finally stops hurting and starts hardening into resolve. Tartalia…

Forgotten Garden returns with “Overlord,” a darkly reflective indie rock/pop single arriving on January 16, 2026, and it feels uncomfortably on point. The Scottish-Portuguese duo, Inês Rebelo on vocals and Danny Elliott handling guitars, keys, and production, have built a reputation for moody, haunting songs, and this one leans straight…

SHARON. has never shied away from confrontation, but with Trapped In A Tower By An Incel and Group of Organized Crime, she goes straight for the nerve. Released January 9, 2026, this AI-generated EP marks a sharp turn from her club-forward Tech House roots into darker, mood-heavy Deep House territory,…

Rich Allen’s debut single The Ghost We Keep is a tender, introspective meditation on grief, memory, and the quiet persistence of love after loss.
