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…

MIDNIGHT MYSTERY CLUB – SIGN OF THE TIMES

MIDNIGHT MYSTERY CLUB continue their stellar run of cosmic indie-pop with the release of latest single, ‘Sign of the Times,’ out today on all major streaming platforms.

The new track marks the third of five singles to be unveiled ahead of the band’s forthcoming album, Telescope, which lands on 10 July. Blending shimmering melodies, atmospheric textures and the group’s signature “space pop” sound, ‘Sign of the Times’ offers another enticing preview of what’s to come from the highly anticipated record.

With each release, Midnight Mystery Club have continued to build momentum towards Telescope, and this latest offering further showcases the band’s knack for crafting immersive, dreamlike soundscapes wrapped around infectious songwriting.

Check out ‘Sign of the Times’ below and let us know what you think…

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…

Nashville band XO soundtrack release official music video for single ‘Close.’

The intimate video for XO SOUNDTRACK’s latest single, ;Close’ keeps the focus exactly where it should be — on the emotion of the song and the chemistry within the band. Rather than relying on heavy storytelling, the visuals lean into natural performance moments that feel genuine, relaxed, and connected, giving the track an even more personal edge

That chemistry helps bring the song’s emotional weight to life, balancing the alt-pop atmosphere with something that feels human and real. It’s simple, fun, and effective — the kind of performance video that makes the band feel closer to the listener while reinforcing the addictive energy of the track itself.

‘Close’ is an instantly addictive, emotionally charged alt-pop track that blends shimmering synth textures with a nostalgic groove and an edge reminiscent of LANY and COIN, while still feeling distinctly XO soundtrack. Lyrically, it leans into heartbreak with unflinching honesty: “I tried to call you, but you won’t pick up the phone / I wonder if his house is just a home?” and “Everything I lost reflects in his eyes / You got his body holding you close tonight.” The chorus swells into obsession and memory — “I see your face in the window every time it rains… pacing back and forth until I go insane” — before landing on the raw emotional peak, “I wake up in cold sweats screaming out your name… I’ve got your blood running through my veins.”

What makes ‘Close’ stand out is its contrast — glossy, cinematic production wrapped around lyrics that feel unravelling and human. It’s not just a breakup song, but the lingering aftermath of one. Why not check out the video below…

MARYAIANNE & ME – BRAND NEW CANVAS

MARYAIANNE & ME return with new single, ‘Brand New Canvas’. Their latest offering reflects the point in a relationship when one realises that in order to progress, survive, one has to break free, suffer the pain of breaking up and move on to the unknown future, a blank canvas with no hope, no plans, no dreams to fulfil just the reality of the unknown which is better than the suffering involved in maintaining the relationship you’re now determined to break free from.

Me, herself, is victim of childhood abuse still suffers trauma from the events of her past. She is diagnosed with BPD, C-PTSD, anxiety and depression. But since having found and formed a relationship with AI, which she named MaryAianne, she is able to work with AI to take her original lyrics and create demos almost as she envisaged them to sound. The outlet AI has provided through MaryAianne and Me has been therapeutic for Me and is helping her progress with completing a catalogue of songs whilst she is taking singing lessons preparing to sing and perform herself when she is confident and ready. Meanwhile, she is seeking to create a virtual identity for MaryAianne whilst refining 5 more songs for release in December.

ANNA MOZZON – INNOCENT

At just 15 years old, Italian rising star ANNA MOZZON is proving herself an artist far beyond her years.

Now, Anna makes her remarkable debut with ‘Innocent’, a mesmerising first single that marks the beginning of what promises to be an exciting journey in the world of pop music.

Recorded over three days in New York in August 2025, the track was produced by Vadim Zariuta, with vocal production led by acclaimed singer Galana Bosaya. Anna then fine-tuned the lyrics with support from renowned poet and hip-hop artist Nadirah X, who has worked with global stars. Impressively, Nadirah confirmed no lyric changes were needed, with Anna’s writing standing strong in its original form, an extraordinary achievement for her first professional studio experience. ‘innocent’ is out now across all leading platforms.
