A firm fixture in the indie music community of the West Coast, Canadian artist EMILY MOLLOY has created a rather raw, emotive-packed piece, coming in the shape of single, ‘Wide Awake’, taking from her latest EP, ‘Catastrophes.’
Written in under an hour, Molloy was emboldened by a break-up experienced by award-winning director Angie Nolan. Finding perspective through Nolan’s pain, Molloy packs each emotional punch with her raspy, full-bodied vox; each resolve in the lyrics a little more hurt than the last until she scales the note so hard in the bridge, you can feel in your soul the shattering of her heart. Molloy perfectly embodies a wailing wall of sorrow and sadness in one fell swoop.
“After writing ‘Wide Awake’, I remember thinking to myself, ‘Wait…I’m not going through this myself, but Angie is,’” she recalls. “I realised I had written the song about her, and from her perspective, but that we can all relate.”
Enlisting recording engineer Eric Mosher at the Warehouse Studios in 2020, Molloy quickly realized that “Wide Awake” was the stand-out track on her latest EP. “This is my most vulnerable song recorded to date, and I knew I needed a video that would fully capture the story and emotion expressed. The song turned out more beautifully stunning in the studio than I could ever hoped for, and it screamed for its visual equal.”
Here’s your chance to check out the video for Emily’s emotive, guitar-led offering below…

‘Typebeat’ is the second single from HARLEY MAXWELL’s ‘ROOM TWELVE’ LP and is one hell of a feisty showcase of rap talent. Monster Florence’s Dream Mclean, Colchester native Dame, and Maxwell’s day one friend Paddy Bars go back to back on this UK Alt Rap anthem.
A hypnotic instrumental from beat maker Tao White keeps you locked in whilst the MC’s lyrically weave in and out of each other with hard flows and slick wordplay.
Self-released on Harley’s Peng Deli label ‘Typebeat’ is going to have heads nodding and necks snapping…check out the video for this bad boy below…
