OLI is a London-based artist who grew up between New Jersey and the UK. Her music moves between pop and film-score territory, built from piano, strings, and quiet emotion. She’s performed at festivals like Isle of Wight, but this debut album is where her sound fully takes shape. The record opens with soft piano and…
Exzenya is a dark-pop artist and writer with a background in psychology. She builds her songs around emotion and observation, looking at how people lose and regain a sense of self. Everything she releases is performed and recorded by hand, without pitch correction or heavy processing: a choice that keeps the music close to her…
Frank Joshua is a London-based songwriter who has been steadily releasing singles over the past few years. Days Like These, recorded between Exeter and London, continues that streak with a track built on simplicity and focus. A four-on-the-floor kick gives the song its pulse, keeping it in forward motion. Guitar lines hover quietly in the…
Kendra Connors has been steadily shaping a body of work that threads personal history into cinematic songwriting. Based in Spokane, she’s four singles deep into what feels less like a string of disconnected tracks and more like a mapped-out narrative. Each one moves along a path from loss toward renewal, and Golden House might be…
Slow Walk’s debut album The Mountain is a self-contained climb. Written and recorded alone in his London home over just two weeks, it takes the shape of a classic concept record: each track a step upward, each layer another shift in the terrain. The blueprint nods to War of the Worlds and Tommy, but the…
Carla Patullo has made a name scoring for film and television, but her solo records come from a more personal place. Her 2024 album “So She Howls” was born from a near-death experience and won a Grammy for its blend of ambient textures and raw emotion. On Nomadica, she goes somewhere even harder to reach:…
Ferdinand Rennie recorded Someone to Remember Me in 2010. Fifteen years later, he returns to it with the same producer, Alan Vukelic, and no major structural changes. The song, written by Wayne Hector and Steve Robson, still plays as a widescreen ballad: slow tempo, orchestral backing, and a vocal pushed to the front. The difference…
Dez Rocket has spent years in alt-synth rock, stacking sounds and dialing in details. Akashic Walker cuts most of that out. It’s a quiet track built on a few choices: soft guitar, muted keys, steady rhythm, and a vocal that stays close. It’s his first love song, and you can tell. The line “So I…
Rëa’s first official release, “Living Without You,” doesn’t play it safe — it leans straight into emotion and contrast. Known for blending dark pop, rock, and cinematic moods, the queer artist brings all of that into focus on this track, pulling listeners into a space where power and vulnerability sit side by side. The song…
Tess Posner’s new single The Flood arrives with impact. It opens on delicate, harp-like plucks and a brief string phrase before a surge of cinematic drums and pulsing bass flips the switch. From there, the track only grows – more intense, more layered, more urgent. The vocal is front and center – huge, emotional, and…
