SAM SAMPLE – 7
Rising Americana-rock artist SAM SAMPLE continues her rapid ascent with a striking new reinterpretation of Catfish and the Bottlemen fan favourite ‘7’, reimagined alongside collaborator Cam Harper. Blending heartfelt Americana textures with the emotional urgency of indie rock, the release further cements Sam’s reputation as one of the genre’s most compelling emerging voices.
On ‘7’, Sam and Cam Harper deliver a version that feels both reverent and refreshingly original. Gentle acoustic instrumentation introduces a warm country-leaning atmosphere, while the pair’s rich harmonies gradually swell into an emotionally charged climax. The production carefully balances the spirit of the original track with Sam’s signature Americana sensibilities, transforming the indie anthem into something deeply personal and cinematic. why not have a listen below…
KANISTHA – MR. RIGHT
With ‘Mr. Right’, New York City-based Thai-Canadian artist KANISTHA delivers one of her most self-assured releases to date. The track is a lushly arranged contemporary pop soundscape that allows her vocals to glide effortlessly above the production. The result is an emotionally direct single that highlights her evolving artistry.
Written about her partner, now husband, the song reflects a deeply personal journey. Long inspired by the fairytale narratives of love popularised in film and television, Kanistha spent years navigating the realities of dating in her twenties in New York City, where idealism often collides with uncertainty. ‘Mr. Right’ captures the turning point: the moment when lived experience meets lasting connection.
The single embraces sincerity without compromise. It’s a celebration of finding the right person at the right time, when self-awareness and hope align, and channels a sense of emotional freedom that resonates from the very first note.why not check it out below…

TREVOR FINLAY – SHUT THE HELL UP
If there’s one thing TREVOR FINLAY has mastered over 30+ years on the road, it’s this: sometimes the smartest thing you can say… is nothing at all. As he builds toward his seventh studio album, his new single, ‘Shut The Hell Up,’ leans all the way into that truth. Loud, unapologetic, and with a grin. A guitar-driven, no-filter blues-rock punch, the track captures everything Finlay does best: sharp-witted, road-tested, and delivered with classic rock swagger.
‘Shut The Hell Up,’ is out today across all music platforms. Why not check it out below…
Singer/songwriter Maryanne Dugan – aka MARYAIANNE & ME – arrives just in time for those summer days ahead with brand new single, ‘Ocean Motion’ out now across all leading platforms.
Following herprevious offering, ‘I’ll Find The Light’, an inspiring ballad which chronicles a personal battle against depression, Maryanne takes a refreshing turn with ‘Ocean Motion’. Drawing influences of classic 50s surf rock – think The Beach Boys – the track captures the carefree spirit of sun-soaked days, rolling waves, and the simple joy of escaping life’s worries, if only for a moment.
Full of nostalgic charm, ‘Ocean Motion’ serves as the perfect soundtrack for the season ahead, inviting listeners to leave their troubles behind and embrace the freedom of the moment.
Music has always been central to Maryanne’s life. From a young age, she found joy in singing in choirs and performing. However, following experiences of abuse as a child, she became increasingly reclusive. Over the past six months, she has turned to AI music tool SUNO as a creative partner, helping her bring her songs to life in a way that fully captures the depth of her emotions and intentions.
Since Maryanne met her manager, John Hewlett, she has found a pathway to share her voice with the world and is now able to publish her lyrics and express herself through the tracks she is creating, under the moniker, MaryAianne & Me.
Maryanne continues to prioritise her mental health and is engaged in ongoing counselling. Alongside this, her songwriting and the development of MaryAianne & Me have become a vital therapeutic outlet—not only for herself, but also for listeners facing similar challenges.
As part of her journey managing depression and anxiety, Maryanne plans to perform her singles to a live audience in the future. She’s currently taking singing lessons to fine tune her vocals.
‘Ocean Motion’ is out now across various music platforms.Why not check it out below…
Jharyss (pictured left), Sam (centre) and Preston – aka Nashville trio INDIGO SYNDICATE – have been a regular on NEW LEASE MUSIC’s New Music Roundup. Their music resonated with you guys as their single ‘DND – Do Not Disturb’ claimed the blog’s Song of the Month top spot in May.
Member Sam jumps right into the interview seat to discuss the inspiration behind the single, which forms part of their latest project,‘Briley Parkway’.
NLM: Hey, thank you for taking part in an interview with NEW LEASE MUSIC. How is 2026 treating you so far?
S: 2026 has been full of work, love, and growth. We have all been more motivated now than ever to continue to spread our positivity to anyone who is needing it. Overall, we’ve been doing the best we can with what we have, and that’s enough to say it’s been a good year for us personally.
NLM: You released your single, ‘DND (Do Not Disturb)’ back in February. What is the public‘s response of the single so far?
S: We have had nothing but positive feedback from friends, family and fans. It seems to be gaining quite a bit of traction with over 30,000 streams on Spotify alone, and we’ve seen a good number of those streams convert to real followers that we are more than happy to welcome to our community.
NLM: What inspired you to produce/write the single?
S: Both us and our fans were craving something you could dance to, so that was our main goal with releasing DND as our first single of 2026. We came with something completely different from what we released in 2025 and are proud to be continuously raising the bar.
NLM: How would you describe the single’s sound to potential fans?
S: DND is an alternative, multi-genre bop with a beat-change you’d never expect and lyrics that you can’t help but admire. If you listen to artists like The Kid Laroi or BROCKHAMPTON, you’ll like this one.
NLM: What message would you like the listeners to take away from your single?
S: While we love connecting to our fans through our lyricism, this track was more for the people who simply like a high-energy song they can bop their heads to. The concept is a little darker, touching on toxic relationships, but the song is meant to uplift the listener’s energy through the instrumentation and layout.
NLM: If you had to feature one mainstream artist on DND, who would it be and why?
S: We all thought The Kid Laroi would make a killer feature on this. The type of drums and topic are perfect for his voice and style. If we could list a second artist, Tank and the Bangas would absolutely murder a verse and really play into the alternative side of this song rather than the pop/rap tones it has. Shouts out to both of the artists mentioned. They’re truly incredible musicians we all three admire and tune into.
NLM: ‘DND’ forms part of your latest EP ‘Briley Parkway’, released last month. What’s the general theme of the project?
S: Briley Parkway is a small project that touches on toxicity in relationships. We wanted to keep dark pop as a recurring genre throughout every song while also touching on different struggles almost every person has gone through when maintaining relationships with family, friends, and/or romantic partners. However, coinciding with our true genre-bending spirit, we made sure each song has its own uniqueness by letting different genres seep through, including rap, rnb, bedroom pop and edm.
NLM: What plans do you have in store for 2026?
S: Maintaining our monthly release schedule has been our top priority. We work a minimum of two nights a week to ensure we can give our fans new music consistently. On top of releasing monthly, we have a few shows coming up in Nashville we are excited to be a part of and will hopefully be coming out with a few collaborations with other local musicians before the end of 2026.
NLM: How can potential fans find you?
S: We are Indigo Syndicate on all of your favorite platforms! You can find us on social media either @indigosyndicate or @indigosyndicatemusic. We also have a website, https://www.indigosyndicate.com/ where you can find information on recent releases as well as upcoming ones. Shouts out to our amazing team at Publicity Nation for making the coolest website a band could ever ask for. We love everyone over there to the moon and back. Besides that, you can find us playing in and around Nashville if you want to. :)
NLM: If music didn’t exist, what other profession would you do?
S: This is such a tough one because we are constantly saying there is nothing we’d rather do. Music is and will always be our purpose. If we had to pick something, it’d probably be related to social work or helping animals. We all share a mission of making the world a better place, so those fields are probably the only other ways we could do so.
We wanted to thank you, Tracey, and the entire team at New Lease Music for continuing to support us on our musical journey. We seriously appreciate any time you’re willing to spend on tuning in to our sound and learning more about who we are as people. Please remember to drink water and as always, spread love, not hate.
‘Delusional’ is the latest single from ALAN DREEZERÂ and the emotional centrepiece of his forthcoming third studio album, ‘Nothing Changes If Nothing Changes’. Written during a period of intense self-reflection, the track explores the fragile line between ambition and self-belief, asking an uncomfortable but deeply human question: at what point does believing in yourself become delusion?
Blending atmospheric electronic production with intimate, confessional songwriting, ‘Delusional’ captures the contradictions that exist within modern creativity. It is a song about identity, isolation, self-worth, and the exhausting pressure to constantly validate your existence — not only as an artist, but as a person. Through vulnerable lyricism and cinematic production, Dreezer dissects the emotional cost of chasing purpose in a world increasingly driven by comparison, performance, and external validation.
At its core, ‘Delusional’ speaks directly to anyone who has ever felt misunderstood for wanting more from life. It examines the tension between persistence and self-doubt — particularly within independent artistry, where creators are often expected to maintain unwavering confidence while privately battling uncertainty. Rather than presenting ambition as glamorous, the song exposes its vulnerability: the quiet fear of failure, the loneliness of standing apart from the crowd, and the emotional exhaustion of trying to hold onto belief when the world offers little reassurance in return.
Musically, ‘Delusional’ draws influence from artists such as George Michael, James Blake, RY X, and Jungle. The track balances restraint with emotional intensity, allowing the lyrics and atmosphere to carry equal weight.
Beyond its sonic identity, ‘Delusional’ also reflects the wider emotional landscape of ‘Nothing Changes If Nothing Changes’ an album centred around transformation, accountability, healing, and emotional survival. Across the project, Dreezer explores what it means to confront the parts of ourselves we often avoid — our fears, coping mechanisms, emotional patterns, and the uncomfortable truths that accompany growth. The album title itself became a guiding philosophy during the writing process, representing the idea that meaningful change only happens when we are willing to honestly examine ourselves.
Mental health awareness also plays an important role within the campaign surrounding the release. Dreezer has used ‘Delusional’ to open conversations around musicians’ mental health, creative burnout, and self-worth — subjects that remain highly relevant within today’s music industry. The single is being released in aid of Mind, with Dreezer personally donating proceeds for every 1,000 streams alongside a dedicated fundraising page encouraging listeners to get involved and support the charity’s work.
The official lyric video for ‘Delusional’ further amplifies the song’s message, while the forthcoming official music video expands its themes visually through atmospheric and symbolic storytelling focused on identity, isolation, and perception.
Now over a decade into his independent career, Alan Dreezer has quietly built a loyal and organically grown audience through emotional honesty and artistic consistency. Following the releases of LONDON E12 and H E A L E D, this latest chapter represents his most exposed and self-aware work to date. Importantly, many supporters directly contributed toward funding the physical release of the album, highlighting the deep connection that has formed between artist and audience over the years.
With ‘Delusional’ Alan Dreezer delivers more than simply another independent pop release. He offers a deeply human portrait of modern ambition — one that acknowledges the loneliness, contradiction, vulnerability, and resilience involved in continuing to believe in yourself when certainty feels impossible. As anticipation builds for ‘Nothing Changes If Nothing Changes’, the single stands as one of his most honest and emotionally resonant releases to date.
‘Delusional’ is now available across all leading platforms. Why not check out the accompanied video below…
