Vibrant alt-pop northerners MAURITIA‘s sixth release of the year, ‘Better Together’ is a charmingly playful love song with all the flavours of an indie classic. It’s the perfect blend of catchy melodies, big vocal hooks, soaring instrumentals, and some crunchy synths thrown in for good measure.
Drawing influence from the likes of Coin, Two Door Cinema Club and Foals, the Hull band have quickly forged their own style and glow with likability.
To celebrate the latest single and see the year out with a huge bang, MAURITIA headlined The Polar Bear, Hull last month, with support from Jumanji and The Avenues.
Currently in studio sessions with Girli and writing for Nasty Cherry, JULY JONES can now reveal her latest release, ‘Switch It Off’ out now.
The British-Slovene artist has also announced that she’ll be supporting GIRLI at her ‘Don’t call me a Ho Ho Ho Xmas Extravaganza’ at The Post Bar, London, this Sunday (15th December).
Speaking on the release, July says: “The single is about waking up from a one-night-stand and constantly thinking about the person you were with the night before. This is exactly what happened to my boyfriend and I, I became obsessed with fantasying about him to the point I couldn’t switch it (my mind) off.”
As a champion of all things LGBTQ+ and a fiercely independent artist with a rebellious streak, July aims to empower young women through her music and has talked openly about mental health issues in the past. Her previous single ‘Liar Liar’ saw tastemaker support from the likes of Notion, Gay Times & Hunger Magazine. July will also appear in the forthcoming Noctis Magaazine print edition.
With previous support shows for the likes of Shakka, Professor Green & Rita Ora – not forgetting performances at The Great Escape, Leeds, London, Manchester & Helsinki Pride – July Jones continues to step into her own space as a songwriter, singer, style influencer and sought after live performer.
Stay tuned for the official video for ‘Switch It Off’.
Starting hitting the scene again, since his last track ‘Crash’, which generated over 90k views on SoundCloud, Philadelphia’s KIDNEXTDOOR gets right back into action and slams down a monster banger entitled ‘Hop Out’, produced and mastered by the man himself.

Hailing from Wolverhampton Natalie Stewart – aka NATZ – is one of those singers/songwriters who has a knack for connecting with the prospective listener based on her life experiences.
Possessing a vibrant R&B vibe, her new single, ‘How You Make A Girl Feel’ displays one of her experiences; it paints a raw picture of the female perspective in a relationship, letting the male counterpart know that she’s in it for the long-haul and that she’s not messing around. Through the frank perspective, The UK newcomer carries warmth in her vocals performance.
Fairly new to the UK R&B scene, NATZ has quickly carved out a name for herself with tracks, ‘Getting Paid’ and ‘TICK TOCK’. Earlier this year, NATZ teamed up with DJ Corrupt for her biggest single to date, ‘It’s Not Okay’, which has generated over 320,000 streams on Spotify alone.
‘How You Make A Girl Feel’ is out now on all major download/streaming sites including iTunes.
Having worked as a featured artist for many years, CLAIRE RIDGELY has since turned her energy towards her solo career, releasing four singles within the past year, which were all well-received on Billboard and Spotify.
Her fifth and newest single, ‘Busy Body’ is a melodic pop track that highlights the Northern Virginia born/Montreal-based artist’s fluttering vocals over intricate synth-pop flourishes.
