BRI FLETCHER – NEW HER (EP)

Nashville-based country artist BRI FLETCHER returns to NLM roundup with six-track EP, ‘New Her’, a project about two years of personal growth, changing relationships, and self-discovery.

Throughout 2025 and 2026, Fletcher has continued building on her country roots while incorporating R&B and pop influences. ‘New’ Her brings together her singles ‘what the hell?,’ ‘Rocket Science,’ ‘Detox,’ ‘Help Myself,’ and the title track, alongside ‘Now You Know Better,’ to tell a cohesive story about finding direction, navigating relationships, and learning to give herself grace.

“I wanted to create New Her because this EP tells a story of growth in so many different ways. The last two years of my life have been filled with so much change, revelation, and self-discovery. I wanted to create a project that felt just as dramatic, emotional, and transformative as those experiences.” – Bri Fletcher.

‘New Her’ EP is out today. Listen below…

LAUREN ANDERSON – A RIDGLAN BEAGLER

LAUREN ANDERSON is not shying away from standing her ground. Written from the perspective of a Beagle, ‘Ridglan Beagle’ tells the story of life on Ridglan Farms, a breeding and research facility in Wisconsin that has experimented on Beagles. Anderson uses the song to shine a light on the animals’ suffering while combining two of her greatest passions: music and animal advocacy.

​“I feel it in my bones when I hear about animal cruelty. So when I heard about the Ridglan Farms beagles, I couldn’t help but get involved in any way I could. I wanted to write a song to help spread the word about everything: the continued pain we’re causing animals that needs to be stopped, the kind people who released the beagles who are now in jail for it, and the thousands of beagles that are now given a 2nd chance in life! Let’s spread the word and end animal testing!”

​Bringing her signature bluesy sound to a deeply personal subject, Anderson turns ‘Ridglan Beagle’ into more than a song. It’s a call for awareness, compassion, change, and giving a voice to animals that cannot speak for themselves.

‘Ridglan Beagle’ is out today. Why not listen below…

P.PEEVA – SOMADAYLESS

‘SOMADAYLESS’ is P.PEEVA‘s debut R&B/Soul single, released on 11 August 2026. Its title comes from “so many days less” and captures the choice to stop postponing what matters.

A Quick Chat With…YB Ghosty

Recently featured in NEW LEASE MUSIC’s New Music Round-up, YB GHOSTY pops into the interview seat to discuss his latest single, ‘Made It Thru The Night’ and how he uses AI as part of the creative process.

NLM: Hey, thank you for taking part in an interview with NEW LEASE MUSIC. Please introduce yourself to the world!

YG: What’s good, world — I’m YB Ghosty. I make late night rap music straight outta District 88. The Ghostyverse is my world; the music is how you get in.

NLM: You released your single, ‘Made It Thru The Night’ in September. What is the public perception of the single so far?

YG: Honestly? People been relating to it heavy. It’s a survival anthem — everybody’s got a night they had to make it through. Shoutout to New Lease Music for featuring it in their roundup, that meant a lot.

NLM : What inspired you to write/produce the single?

YG: Real life. Everybody I know got a story about a night that almost broke ’em. I wanted to make the song you play at 3 AM when you’re still standing. District 88 never sleeps, and neither do the people trying to make it out.

NLM: How would you describe the single’s sound to potential fans?

YG: Late-night rap — heavy bass, spacey, cinematic. The kind of track that sounds like driving through the city with the windows down when you got nowhere to be but everywhere to go.

NLM: You use AI to help produce ‘Made It Thru The Night’ as well as your previous releases. What initially inspired you to use AI as part of your music-making process?

YG: Freedom. I didn’t have a label, a budget, or a studio — but I had a whole universe in my head. AI let me build all of it: the music, the visuals, the world. Nobody had to co-sign me. I just started dropping.

NLM: Can you take us briefly through your creative process when using AI to produce your music?

YG:It always starts with a story or a feeling — something real I need to get off my chest. I write the songs, shape the sound, then use AI to produce and build the world around it. I’m the director; the tech is just the crew.

NLM: What would you say to musicians and other creatives who are strongly opposed to using AI in music?

YG: I would tell them every era had an opp — sampling was stealing, autotune was cheating. I definitely wasn’t gonna get beat by the next person using it, so I had to learn it too. The tool ain’t the artist. If the story’s real and the ear is sharp, the music speaks. Judge the song, not the software.

NLM:What plans do you have in store for 2026?

YG: The album — No Rest In Paradyne. Pre-save is live right now. More singles, more visuals, the Ghostyverse keeps expanding. We’re just getting started.

NLM: How can potential fans find you?

YG: Instagram and TikTok @ybghosty — that’s home base. Spotify, YouTube,
everywhere you stream. New drops weekly, tap in.

NLM: Finally, if music didn’t exist, what profession would you do?

YG: I’d run the best taco truck in District 88. No contest.

HGM – LOSE YOUR MIND

‘Lose Your Mind’ is a UK rage track built for the mosh pit: blown-out, distorted 808s, aggressive synth stabs and a shouted British vocal. It builds through a countdown into a chant-along hook (“lose your mind, let me see you let go”) made for crowds, gym sessions and late-night drives. For fans of the UK underground and rage scene.

HGM (George) is an artist from South East England whose music journey began in 2017. His tracks mix styles and tell parts of his story. ‘Lose Your Mind’ is out today. Listen below…

DEBBIE RYVERS – ALL MY LOVE

With a career shaped by reggae heritage, soul, R&B and jazz, British vocalist DEBBIE RYVERS continues to build on a remarkable musical legacy with her latest single, ‘All My Love’. Produced by Debbie and her longtime studio engineer Dean Richards AKA Joe 90, the disco-infused release brings together funk, soul, R&B and pop, placing Ryvers’ distinctive vocals at the centre of a warm, uplifting and deeply melodic production.

Born to Jamaican parents, music was embedded in Ryvers’ upbringing from the very beginning. Influenced by the soulful sounds of Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield and Diana Ross & The Supremes, alongside reggae pioneers including Dennis Brown, Alton Ellis, John Holt, Bob Andy, Marcia Griffiths and Bob Marley, she developed a vocal identity informed by both American soul and the reggae and sound system culture of her West Indian heritage. Her early exposure to opera and classical vocal technique further broadened her musical palette, contributing to the versatility that has remained a defining characteristic of her career.

‘All My Love’ was released yesterday (8th October). Listen below…

London-born singer-songwriter MILA SIDHU steps into her power with her latest single ‘One Night’, a sultry fusion of alt-pop and R&B influences that brings her Indian heritage into her music with intoxicating results.

Confident, sensual and rhythmically charged, ‘One Night’ captures the electricity of entering a room knowing all eyes are on you. Rather than chasing somebody else’s attention, Mila flips the dynamic, embodying the person with the power to choose.

“‘One Night’ is about walking into a room being a beautiful girl and knowing you can have anyone you want in that room,” Mila explains.

‘One Night’ is out now. Check out the sultry video below…

PENNI LAYNE – EVERYDAY I FALL IN LOVE

Boston-based vocalist and songwriter PENNI LAYNE returns with ‘everyday i fall in love’, a new album that finds her moving fluidly between jazz, soul and R&B while remaining firmly focused on the emotional heart of each song. Rather than being defined by genre boundaries, Layne’s latest collection is rooted in intimacy, warmth and lived-in songwriting, bringing classic jazz repertoire together with her own original material, written alongside her longtime musical collaborator and husband, bassist and vocalist Larry Jackson.

Recorded at New York City’s legendary Sear Sound and produced by Layne and Jackson, ‘everyday i fall in love’ places chemistry and spontaneity at the centre of its sound. Joined by pianist Michael Kanan, upright bassist Neal Miner and guitarist Greg Ruggiero, Layne and Jackson deliberately avoided over-engineered arrangements, instead allowing the record to develop organically in the studio. With the musicians recording together live, arrangements evolved through instinct, communication and close listening, capturing the natural interplay that has become one of the album’s defining qualities.

‘everyday i fall in love’is out now for your pleasure. Why not kick back, relax and listen below…

Song of the Day: Set The Pace – Paige Rose

The feeling of being left behind while everyone around you appears to be hitting goal after goal in life leads to pent-up frustration and insecurities. Coupled with that overwhelming feeling that things are not moving fast enough, you’re wondering if the man upstairs will ever give you that moment to shine. Well Country Powerhouse PAIGE ROSE knows that feeling all too well.

Her latest single, ‘Set The Pace’, reflects her time where she felt stuck in a rut, comparing her stagnant situation to others who appear to be seamlessly moving on with life. Although it felt all the odds were against her, somehow Paige Rose held onto her faith, as deep down inside, she knows that God has got her back.

And indeed, He sure did…

After moving from her hometown Sioux City in Iowa to the epicentre of country music – Nashville- in 2017, Paige’s music career began to gather serious momentum. She quickly established herself as a compelling live performer, taking to the stages of the city’s renowned venues, including Song Suffragettes, Whiskey Jam, Listening Room Cafe and The Basement. Her accolades kept up the momentum when her single, ‘Just A House’ secured a place in the Top 100 Songs of the Year on KSUX 105.7. However listeners were introduced to her powerhouse distinctive vocals, coupled with that honest, cards-on-the-table songwriting through debut EP ‘Not All Girls’ (2022).The project’s standout track ‘Whiskey Drinker’ was recognised by The New York Times as “ready for radio.”

Her work has also earned visual support from CMT too, with Rose debuting multiple music videos through the network, including ‘Trouble’ and ‘Between Me & Jesus.’ Influenced by artists ranging from her childhood favorite Shania Twain to Fleetwood Mac and Alanis Morissette, Rose continues to carve out a sound that balances country storytelling with a rock-influenced edge.

So the moral of the story in ‘Set The Pace’ is to steer away from comparing your life journey with others, as everyone achieves their goals at a different pace, as the man upstairs will make sure everyone will have their moment to shine – and indeed he kept his end of the bargain and mapped out the very fruitful journey for Paige Rose.
