Song of the Day: Better With Time – Stefanie Michaela

You may remember STEFANIE MICHAELA, who made a bold impression on the blog back in May with her breakout single ‘Stay In Your Lane’—a track that earned the blog’s Song of the Week title over on Instagram. That single marked a significant turning point in Stefanie’s life, serving as a stern soulful anthem of self-empowerment. With it, the R&B/pop songbird pushed back against the critics who judged her decision to pause her music career in order to raise her children.

Now, Stefanie returns with another powerful statement in her latest single, ‘Better With Time.’ Teaming up with Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum producer Nash Overstreet (Britney Spears, Meghan Trainor, Pitbull), who wrote and produced the single, she delivers a smooth yet edgy soulful-pop track, rich with hazy textures and hypnotic grooves that’s compelling from the very first note.

Beneath the toe-curling melodies and polished production lies an urgent, heartfelt message—a rallying cry for anyone who’s ever felt, or been told, that it’s “too late” to chase their dreams. ‘Better With Time’ is Stefanie’s unapologetic reminder that passion doesn’t expire, and that it’s never too late to pursue what sets your soul on fire—with ambition, conviction, and courage, no matter how intimidating the journey may seem.

“I wrote ‘Better With Time’ because I was deeply passionate about following my heart and dreams at this stage in my life,” Stefanie shares. “A dream I once thought I’d never return to came back full force—and now, I’m so eager to share it with the world. I want people to know it’s never too late to follow their dreams.”

‘Better With Time’ is the third single from Stefanie’s upcoming EP, Turning Pages — a collection of songs that not only marks a new chapter in her life, but also serves as a powerful source of motivation for anyone chasing their dreams. The EP also gives a voice to the voiceless, offering them the recognition and attention they deserve.

Song of the Day: Dancing (In the Palm of My Hand) – The Spikes

Following the politically and emotionally charged debut single ‘Guns For The Children’—which quickly drew attention with over 20,000 views on YouTube—Iago Haussman, aka THE SPIKES, returns with a hauntingly beautiful follow-up that could rival, or even surpass, his breakout release.

His latest single, ‘Dancing (In the Palm of My Hand)’, opens under a veil of mystery, quickly pierced by stark, minimalist guitar plucks that lay the foundation for an emotionally raw exploration of desire, loss, and longing. Heavily inspired by F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, the track casts Jay Gatsby as an elusive figure—haunted by the past and consumed by his pursuit of something forever out of reach.

“I’ve always seen Gatsby as an almost mystical being—an elusive symbol of desire and secrecy,” explains Iago. “We don’t really know much about him—his past, his emotions, or the depth of his longing. I wanted to step into that uncertainty, to feel what it means to chase something beautiful and unattainable.”

Also an acclaimed poet, Haussman channels his lyrical prowess into vivid, surreal storytelling, weaving dreamlike imagery throughout his music. ‘Dancing (In the Palm of My Hand)’ doesn’t offer easy answers—instead, it lingers in ambiguity, inviting listeners to sit with the unknown.

“I’m not sure there’s a message there, exactly. And that’s really not for me to say, is it—what the audience takes away?” Iago reflects. “A feeling, perhaps? Or an image? The song touches on joy, beauty, and loss. It’s a love song, really—more existential than political, unlike my last single.”

Where ‘Guns For The Children’ shocked and stirred, ‘Dancing (In the Palm of My Hand)’ invites listeners into a more abstract, introspective realm—revealing yet another layer of THE SPIKES’ evolving artistry.

Now’s your chance to experience the surreal beauty of “Dancing (In the Palm of My Hand)”—out now on all major streaming platforms.

Song of the Day: Eyesore – EMEREE

Following her well-received single, ‘Spring Cleaning’ – which reflects a personal journey of recovery after surviving domestic violence – Australian artist EMEREE is firmly on the road of self-empowerment. With her tongue-in-cheek single ‘Eyesore‘, she flips the narrative, offering a playful yet pointed anthem for anyone reclaiming their power after a toxic relationship. Through her music, EMEREE hopes to inspire others to rediscover their true selves and walk away stronger from whatever tried to break them.

Sprinkled with melodic pop tones and soulful soundscapes, ‘Eyesore’ delivers a strut-away-from-the-fire moment after dating someone who behave horribly towards you – but wasn’t not quite hot enough to get away with it. EMEREE’s fun, sugar-coated vocals drip with quick-witted sarcasm— influenced by her idol Amy Winehouse— transforms a sticky breakup into a liberating moment. It’s the kind of track where you look your ex dead in the eye and say, “It’s not me, it’s YOU.”

The pop art-inspired music video drives the message home: ‘Eyesore’ is a revenge anthem dressed in bubble gum pink—sweet on the surface, but with a sting that hits hard.

Championed by Australian radio staples, including Triple J and J Unearthed and having supported Australian heavyweights Thelma Plum, JACOTENE, and Budjerah, upon the release of her debut EP ‘Gold’, EMEREE (real name Gabrielle Emery) is beginning to make serious ripples in the UK since the release of ‘Spring Cleaning’. Named one of NME’s ‘Top 100 Artists to Watch of 2025’, EMEREE has graced the stage at The Great Escape and joined high-profile studio sessions with industry giants such as Invisible Men (Jessie J, Iggy Azalea) and Eg White (Adele).

EMEREE is more than a songbird with an impressive four-octave vocal range. Hailed as Splice’s ‘Top Producers to Watch’, her golden production touch has driven over 50 million Spotify streams, including Tyla Jane’s viral hit Energy, which landed major international syncs. She’s also in global demand as a songwriter; EMEREE has recently returned from the Anti Social Camp for songwriters in New York —where she was personally selected—and is soon heading into sessions with the legendary Nile Rodgers.

Now firmly on the radar, EMEREE steps boldly into her next chapter with ‘Eyesore’—a biting, empowering pop anthem that encourages women to walk away from dead-weight partners, with their heads held high.
