He leans into that tension with vulnerability, delivering it in a way that feels both honest and refreshingly new.

​The track opens with the sound of a tape clicking on, a subtle touch of nostalgia that contrasts beautifully with the polished, modern production. Blending pop synths with a live drum feel, the sound mirrors the emotional push and pull at the heart of the song.

JULIE EDDY – BUMMIN’ CIGARETTES FT. JAKE MATTHEW

JULIE EDDY is back with a song that truly stops you in your tracks. ‘Bummin’ Cigarettes/ pulls you in from the very first note, setting the scene with ease. It carries that classic country feel, layered with nostalgic, smoky undertones that linger throughout.

Featuring Jake Matthew, his raspy voice slips in early, hinting at a past chemistry between the two. As he sings, “Been a while since I’ve been back here / Only gonna stay ’til the end of this beer… You were comin’ back up from fallin’ too hard / I was livin’ it up with a locked down heart / We both know we could take it too far / ’Cause we’ve been there before,” you can feel the weight of their shared history.

Julie’s voice enters on the pre-chorus, and from there, the two blend effortlessly into a catchy, memorable chorus: “I offer you a drag / You bummed a light / We got to talkin’ all night / Then one led to another / Seein’ nothing but each other… / Ain’t no flame to put out when it ends / It’s just bummin’ cigarettes.”

​The songwriting is sharp and witty, adding depth to an already compelling story. By the time Julie takes the spotlight in the second verse, you’re fully immersed in the rekindling of their connection.

​Paired with crisp, radio-ready production, ‘Bummin’ Cigarettes’ stands out as a strong single for Eddy. It’s the kind of song that feels both timeless and current, and one that showcases exactly why Eddy is an artist to watch right now.

JENNA DEVRIES – FLAT EARTH

Nashville-based singer-songwriter JENNA DEVRIES‘ new single ‘Flat Earth’ isn’t flirting with conspiracy theories — it leans into them, using them like a funhouse mirror to show how heartbreak twists reality. The “flat earth” isn’t just a wild idea — it’s a metaphor for doubt, for the way your mind stretches to make sense of something you thought was solid but wasn’t.

The verses — “Maybe there was no man on the moon / Maybe birds are too good to be true / Powers that be aren’t what they seem / And you never really loved me” and “Maybe aliens built the pyramids / And Atlantis is where they all hid / In the depths so nobody believes / And you never really loved me” — float through impossible scenarios, almost playful, before folding back into that one quiet sting.

The conspiracies aren’t literal — they’re the emotional logic of someone trying to explain love that never existed. When the thing you trusted most turns out to be false, suddenly even the strangest ideas start to feel possible.

‘Flat Earth’ was released last Friday (24th April) across all leading music platforms. Have a listen below…

DAVE LENAHAN – FIRST

DAVE LENAHAN‘s new single ‘First’ is a heartfelt country ballad that explores love through the lens of vulnerability—the quiet fear of losing the person who means everything. Rooted in a traditional country sound, Dave’s emotional delivery shines throughout, especially in lines like “Hand in hand together till the end of time / But we can’t live forever, life is so unfair,” and the striking chorus confession, “I don’t wanna live a day without you on this Earth / I wanna go first.” The track also features Taylin Rae, whose harmonies add a beautiful emotional counterpoint.

‘First’ was released last Thursday (23rd April) via all leading music platforms. Have a listen below…

DANIEL LEYES – HA HA WEED IS LEGAL + STONER MATING CALL

DANIEL LEYES shares two singles – ‘Ha Ha Weed Is Legal’ and Stoner Mating Call’ – for your pleasure!

‘Ha Ha Weed Is Legal’ is a celebratory anthem about cannabis legalization and cultural change. Inspired by New Jersey’s legalization and shaped by humor and social commentary, the track embraces freedom and challenges outdated prohibition with playful defiance.

‘Stoner Mating Call’ is a soulful, lighthearted love song built around a simple opening line: “Mama – if you wanna smoke some marijuana, honey I’m the man for you.” It blends humor and warmth into a relaxed, character-driven track.

‘Close’ was released last Thursday (23rd April) via all leading music platforms. Listen below:

    Must Listen: We go all night

    Paige Bea Melds Spiralling Pop Hooks, Boundary Pushing Instrumentals And Timeless Songwriting On EP ‘Goodbye, Then!’

    London-based singer, songwriter and producer PAIGE BEA‘s EP ‘Goodbye, Then!’ – self-released via The Orchard – re-establishes her within the alternative pop landscape after a 2 year hiatus from releasing music. To date, the EP has received wide acclaim and support from BBC R1 (Jack Saunders), Spotify (Fresh Finds UK & IE), COLORS, The Line Of Best Fit, CLASH Magazine, Wonderland, The Rodeo, New Wave Magazine, enfnts terribles, The Pit LDN, Wordplay Mag and more.

    Influenced by acts such as FKA Twigs, Tirzah, Caroline Polachek, Jockstrap, James Blake and Sampha – those sonic touch points are evident within Paige’s avant-garde, unpredictable productions as she melds spiralling pop hooks and boundary pushing instrumentals, with timeless songwriting and self-aware lyricism. ‘Goodbye, Then!’ sees the artist uniting with producers Leo Wyatt (aka KINDER) and Jonjo Keefe (Park Hotel).

    The six-track EP explores the obsessions and projections that come with all relationships. From lustful beginnings (“4×4”) to shaky middles (‘Autopilot’ and ‘Melt’), bitter ends (‘Stay Still’) to rose-tinted re-imaginings of the past (‘The Quiet Of The Hours’ and ‘Goodbye, Then!’) – the music aims to chart how warped perceptions of romantic relationships directly lead to their downfall. Part catharsis and part warning signal – the songs are an attempt to take back the narrative and add some much needed glamour and thrill to the tricky process of letting go.

    “The production, lyrical themes and aesthetics surrounding ‘Goodbye, Then!’ are a slow sharpening of my sense of self,” Paige explains. “It starts dark, murky and jagged and eventually reaches a place of clarity and peace. The maximalist approach to the EP is a significant contrast to how small I was made to feel – and that was important. These songs are about making myself the main character again and I want this EP to make those who listen feel empowered, sexy and resolute in stories of their own heartbreak too.”

    ‘Goodbye, Then!’ is out now for your inspection…have a peep below…
