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.

MIKE BODY’s latest single, Pearls of Wisdom,’ is a heartfelt tribute to that extraordinary woman in your life—whether it’s your mother, grandmother, sister or significant other—whose wisdom feels almost supernatural in its depth and power.

Known for his braggadocious beats, the American rapper always uses the platform wisely, covering a breadth of issues that affect, not only his native country, but across the globe. His hard-hitting delivery of the issues have resonated with listeners from all walks of life around the world, particularly in the UK.

So if you’re not religiously inclined, his messages are still relatable, as they offer some degree of encouragement and empowerment, which provides motivation to make a change for the better.

Although he pays homage to the strong women in his life, ‘Pearls Of Wisdom’ also shows his utmost gratitude to the Lord for placing that special person his life. Mike Body takes on a softer delivery, complementing layers of featherily soundscapes.
