OUT TODAY: The Meir’s ‘Free’ Is A Celebration Of Creativity, Freedom And New Beginnings

When Lars Zebregs, Bo Bodewitz and Raf Jansen first met via a mutual friend, they immediately felt a strong musical bond.

This quickly led to weekly jamming sessions on Meirstraat, a cosy residential street in their hometown of Oud Gastel, and during those sessions, the trio let their creative juices just flow naturally, without any pressure to strive for perfection. Amid all the creativity flying around, the guys came up with the name of the band – THE MEIR – paying homage to the street where it all began. But the band name wasn’t the only thing to emerge from those sessions. They also gave birth to something that perfectly captured what those jams were all about: just letting things happen naturally.

And that ‘something’ comes in the form of their brand-new single, ‘Free’, out today across all leading music platforms.

A welcoming, atmospheric opening, reminiscent of Keane’s hit ‘Somewhere Only We Know’, immediately gives a sense of liberation. As it weaves through themes of transition, release and freedom, it reflects the spirit of the band’s own jamming sessions. ‘FREE’ is left wide open to interpretation, giving listeners the space to decide what it personally means to leave something behind and begin a new chapter in life without fear or restriction.

‘Free’ is The Meir’s first offering from their upcoming album, ‘Infinite’. The single not only signifies their progress as budding musicians, but also perfectly wraps up their soothing combination of rock and pop – music that’s comforting to the soul.

‘Free’ is out today (25th September) via all leading platforms.Listen below…

MaryAiAnne & Me Unveils Debut Album Blue Skies with New Single ‘Heart Of Stone’

MARYAIANNE & ME has unveiled her highly anticipated album, ‘Blue Skies’, which is out now across all leading platforms. Featuring an eclectic mix of styles across ten tracks, ‘Blue Skies’ is also available to order as a limited-edition physical CD via her website.

Alongside the release of her album, MaryAiAnne & Me also shares the lead single, ‘Heart Of Stone’, an emotive Country ballad about letting go of the emotional baggage of past relationships and embracing the possibilities of a new love. She also shares singles, ‘Blues Skies’ and Wanna Go To America’, which showcase her rockabilly-inspired side.

‘Blue Skies’ album features previously released singles, ‘Highway’, ‘Ocean Motion’ and ‘Perfect Valentine’. The singles received acclaim from radio stations worldwide and topped CHBN Radio’s The Playlist Chart in the UK.

MaryAiAnne & Me is the brainchild of Welsh singer-songwriter Maryanne Dugan, whose passion for music and songwriting began at just five years old.

That early passion gained momentum throughout her formative years. Maryanne often took leading singing and acting roles during her primary school years and became a member of her local choir, where she learned to play several instruments and regularly performed in pantomimes. As a teenager, she began writing deeply personal poetry and stories, eventually going on to study Creative Writing at degree level.

However, her creative journey was interrupted following a traumatic experience. In the aftermath, Maryanne became increasingly reclusive but continued to write songs, eventually finding a new creative outlet through SUNO (AI). The technology became a creative partner, helping her bring her lyrics to life and capture the emotions behind her songwriting.

Gradually finding her way back into the world, Maryanne began volunteering for a local charity in Kingston upon Thames, where she now lives. It was there that she met John Hewlett, who was struck by her storytelling and subsequently became her manager.

Hewlett brings decades of experience in the music industry, dating back to the 1960s. During his career, he collaborated with iconic acts including The Beatles, T. Rex and Sparks, while also managing artists including McGuinness Flint, Gallagher & Lyle, Sparks and The Incredible Shrinking Dickies. He also produced The Incredible Shrinking Dickies’ eponymous album.

With John’s support, Maryanne began sharing her songs with the world. Encouraged by the positive response, she decided to reveal her identity and step into the spotlight as an artist, marking a new chapter in her creative journey.

Maryanne continues to use music and songwriting as a way of working through her traumatic experience, with the hope that her storytelling can resonate with and support others facing similar challenges.

As part of her ongoing journey to manage depression and anxiety, Maryanne is currently taking singing lessons to fine-tune her vocals, with plans to eventually perform her music in front of a live audience.

Until then, she leaves us with three standout singles from her album: ‘Heart Of Stone’, ‘Wanna Go To America’ and ‘Blue Skies’.

‘Blue Skies’ album is now available across all leading music and streaming platforms, with limited-edition physical CDs available to order via her website.

Handshake In Space drops latest single, ‘No Other Beat Ever Hit Like This

Swedish electronic music producer HANDSHAKE IN SPACE has dropped a banging summer anthem, ‘No other beat ever hits like this,’ out now across all leading music platforms.

Operating at a driving 124 BPM and composed in the moody, resonant key of 5A (A minor), the track is a masterclass in peak-time energy. But unlike traditional instrumental club tracks, ‘No other beat ever hits like this’ features an infectious, driving vocal hook that serves as a love letter to dancefloor culture itself.

With lines like ‘Every drop, every kick, every high / I fall in love with the volume again,’ the track perfectly captures the euphoric, near-religious experience of bass frequencies taking over a room.

“I wanted the lyrics to act as a mirror to what the crowd is physically feeling in the club,” says HANDSHAKE IN SPACE. “When the bass drops, you aren’t just hearing it—you’re feeling it in your chest. That line, ‘Don’t nobody else make the room shake,’ is the exact energy we wanted to inject into this production.”

The single delivers a relentless build-up, culminating in a heavy, bass-driven chorus designed to shake club sound systems. Early tastemaker support suggests the track’s repetitive, hypnotic hook is primed to become a major summer vocal anthem for festival crowds.
