Song of the Day: Better With Time – Stefanie Michaela

You may remember STEFANIE MICHAELA, who made a bold impression on the blog back in May with her breakout single ‘Stay In Your Lane’—a track that earned the blog’s Song of the Week title over on Instagram. That single marked a significant turning point in Stefanie’s life, serving as a stern soulful anthem of self-empowerment. With it, the R&B/pop songbird pushed back against the critics who judged her decision to pause her music career in order to raise her children.

Now, Stefanie returns with another powerful statement in her latest single, ‘Better With Time.’ Teaming up with Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum producer Nash Overstreet (Britney Spears, Meghan Trainor, Pitbull), who wrote and produced the single, she delivers a smooth yet edgy soulful-pop track, rich with hazy textures and hypnotic grooves that’s compelling from the very first note.

Beneath the toe-curling melodies and polished production lies an urgent, heartfelt message—a rallying cry for anyone who’s ever felt, or been told, that it’s “too late” to chase their dreams. ‘Better With Time’ is Stefanie’s unapologetic reminder that passion doesn’t expire, and that it’s never too late to pursue what sets your soul on fire—with ambition, conviction, and courage, no matter how intimidating the journey may seem.

“I wrote ‘Better With Time’ because I was deeply passionate about following my heart and dreams at this stage in my life,” Stefanie shares. “A dream I once thought I’d never return to came back full force—and now, I’m so eager to share it with the world. I want people to know it’s never too late to follow their dreams.”

‘Better With Time’ is the third single from Stefanie’s upcoming EP, Turning Pages — a collection of songs that not only marks a new chapter in her life, but also serves as a powerful source of motivation for anyone chasing their dreams. The EP also gives a voice to the voiceless, offering them the recognition and attention they deserve.

Song of the Day: Eyesore – EMEREE

Following her well-received single, ‘Spring Cleaning’ – which reflects a personal journey of recovery after surviving domestic violence – Australian artist EMEREE is firmly on the road of self-empowerment. With her tongue-in-cheek single ‘Eyesore‘, she flips the narrative, offering a playful yet pointed anthem for anyone reclaiming their power after a toxic relationship. Through her music, EMEREE hopes to inspire others to rediscover their true selves and walk away stronger from whatever tried to break them.

Sprinkled with melodic pop tones and soulful soundscapes, ‘Eyesore’ delivers a strut-away-from-the-fire moment after dating someone who behave horribly towards you – but wasn’t not quite hot enough to get away with it. EMEREE’s fun, sugar-coated vocals drip with quick-witted sarcasm— influenced by her idol Amy Winehouse— transforms a sticky breakup into a liberating moment. It’s the kind of track where you look your ex dead in the eye and say, “It’s not me, it’s YOU.”

The pop art-inspired music video drives the message home: ‘Eyesore’ is a revenge anthem dressed in bubble gum pink—sweet on the surface, but with a sting that hits hard.

Championed by Australian radio staples, including Triple J and J Unearthed and having supported Australian heavyweights Thelma Plum, JACOTENE, and Budjerah, upon the release of her debut EP ‘Gold’, EMEREE (real name Gabrielle Emery) is beginning to make serious ripples in the UK since the release of ‘Spring Cleaning’. Named one of NME’s ‘Top 100 Artists to Watch of 2025’, EMEREE has graced the stage at The Great Escape and joined high-profile studio sessions with industry giants such as Invisible Men (Jessie J, Iggy Azalea) and Eg White (Adele).

EMEREE is more than a songbird with an impressive four-octave vocal range. Hailed as Splice’s ‘Top Producers to Watch’, her golden production touch has driven over 50 million Spotify streams, including Tyla Jane’s viral hit Energy, which landed major international syncs. She’s also in global demand as a songwriter; EMEREE has recently returned from the Anti Social Camp for songwriters in New York —where she was personally selected—and is soon heading into sessions with the legendary Nile Rodgers.

Now firmly on the radar, EMEREE steps boldly into her next chapter with ‘Eyesore’—a biting, empowering pop anthem that encourages women to walk away from dead-weight partners, with their heads held high.

Song of the Day: Pearls Of Wisdom – Mike Body

MIKE BODY’s latest single, Pearls of Wisdom,’ is a heartfelt tribute to that extraordinary woman in your life—whether it’s your mother, grandmother, sister or significant other—whose wisdom feels almost supernatural in its depth and power.

Known for his braggadocious beats, the American rapper always uses the platform wisely, covering a breadth of issues that affect, not only his native country, but across the globe. His hard-hitting delivery of the issues have resonated with listeners from all walks of life around the world, particularly in the UK. With every release, he always shows appreciation to the Lord, whatever situation he’s in. So if you’re not religiously inclined, his messages are still relatable, as they offer some degree of encouragement and empowerment, which provides motivation to make a change for the better.

Although he pays homage to the strong women in his life, ‘Pearls Of Wisdom’ also shows his utmost gratitude to the Lord for placing that special person his life. Mike Body takes on a softer delivery, complementing layers of featherily soundscapes. While ‘Pearls Of Wisdom’ detours from his usual boastful sound, Mike Body still adds his signature magic ingredient — the infectiously heavy bass…

Song of the Day: Serious – Charli Rose

The harmoniously sparse backdrop, perfectly complementing the smooth acoustic guitar plucks, sets the stage for Australian singer-songwriter Charli Rose’s highly anticipated single, ‘Serious.’ The soothing instrumentation envelops listeners in a sense of self-love, empowerment, and acceptance.

Generally drawing inspiration by people’s lives as well as issues going on in the world, Charli began writing songs from the age of 11, in hope that her powerfully comforting messages provide a safe place for whoever needs an instant boost of encouragement. ‘Serious’ is the ideal snapshot of Charli as an artist; the indie pop single spans from her observation of the extreme measures that people take to seek approval from others. Among the soothing soundscapes, the 17 year-old’s equally harmonious vocals, which occasionally soars, carries a gentle reassurance that it’s OK just to be yourself. ‘Serious’ showcases Charli’s undeniable ability to curate a compelling story—an impressive feat beyond her 17 years. Her knack for painting vivid and emotionally rich narratives deservedly received recognition in the International and Unsigned Only music competitions, holding the semi-finalist title in both competitions in 2024.

‘Serious’ follows Charli Rose’s acclaimed debut EP, ‘Letters To Me’, and builds on the growing recognition the teenage artist has earned in an impressively short time. She was the winner of the WA Junior Country Artist of the year in 2023 and 2024, as well as a Top 5 finalist for WAM Song of the Year in 2023 for her single ‘Mirrors’ and a finalist again this year for ‘The Last Fairy’ in the 15-18 youth category.

Charli’s burgeoning music journey doesn’t stop at collecting accolades in quick succession. She has graced the stage at several different venues across her hometown in Perth, including the Optus Stadium, RAC arena and Symphony Under the Stars with the Perth Symphony Orchestra. Charli gears up for her performance at the Western Australian Music showcase on 20th July.

With her music journey in full motion, Charli’s latest offering is sure to resonate deeply with listeners from all walks of life, further strengthening her ever-growing fanbase. ‘Serious’ is out now out on your favourite music provider…why not have a listen below…
