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…

Ashley Savage Turns Pain Into Power On New Track ‘Pressure’

Emerging artist ASHLEY SAVAGE is quickly proving herself to be one to watch in 2026, carving out a lane entirely her own.

Raised in the culturally rich state of Indiana — on the very same street where the Jackson family’s legendary journey began — her artistry is rooted in the soul of ‘90s R&B while embracing sleek, modern textures that feel both cinematic and radio-ready. Although she shares a geographical connection to music royalty, Ashley Savage is firmly focused on shaping her own future with a bold and innovative creative vision.

Her latest single, ‘Pressure’, offers the perfect introduction to her unmistakable sound. Blending elements of contemporary indie K-pop and atmospheric R&B, the track unfolds as a smooth mid-tempo anthem exploring the complexities of relationships. Each verse carries themes of resilience and emotional growth, while Ashley’s expressive vocal delivery captures the struggle of overcoming pressure, embracing healing, and emerging stronger through adversity.

‘Pressure’ is part of a wider body of work that Ashley Savage describes as a blueprint for “Commercial Crossover” — a sound that masterfully balances raw street-edge authenticity with polished luxury and mainstream appeal.

Award-winning artist Amity explores the other side of love with single, ‘To Be Known’.

After making an expressive entry on the blog with debut piano-led single, ‘Bite Me!’ – which claimed the blog’s Song of the Week title for two consecutive weeks over on Instagram – award-winning singer/songwriter AMITY returns to the spotlight with a compelling follow-up, ‘To Be Known’.

While the music industry is forever saturated with love songs that glamorises the idea of the perfect loving relationship, ‘To Be Known’ addresses the grey areas of the topic, which is often overlooked. Delivered with a delicate piano backdrop, the 18-year-old adds that perfect touch of vulnerability to his usual soulfully raw vocals and explores how love can be a frightening experience, especially if one is not use to receiving such intense feelings.

This is why this young music maestro in the making became an overnight sensation; Amity is not afraid to wear his heart on his sleeve and explore topics that most would shy away from. Such bravery, coupled with uniquely compelling storytelling, has earnt Amity flowers from the likes of the Guardian and the BBC. Starting his music journey during lockdown, using music as a coping mechanism, Amity hopes to inspire and encourage his rapidly growing fanbase and prospective listeners to speak up in what they believe in. His latest single, To Be Known’ is a true testament to Amity’s artistry as the stunning ballad offers a safe space to ponder on the dubious areas that love can sometime presents.

‘To Be Known’ is the second single from Amity’s Albert Hall-backed debut EP, set to release with a launch show at The Royal Albert Hall itself in July…but for now, have a listen to the compelling single below…

Song of the Day: Shame – Annabel Gutherz

Canadian singer and songwriter ANNABEL GUTHERZ‘s latest single, ‘Shame,’is an open-hearted single about acknowledging and overcoming relationship insecurities.
