The reflective production sees Bri driving up to her childhood home, where memories came floating in as a joyous child, teenager and 20-year-old version of herself. The video reaches an all time emotional high when she hugged a clearly overwhelmed 20-year-old version of herself, gently singing, reassuring her that everything will work out in the end.
And indeed everything did work out in the end.
Since gaining national attention on season 25 on The Voice, earning a spot on Team Chance the Rapper for her emotionally raw delivery, Bri has capitulated into the country and Americana scene. Her debut EP ‘Chapter’ has generated way over 35,000 streams, while her growing list of accolades includes music video premieres on CMT and features in publications like Holler, American Songwriter, andTaste of Country. Her single ‘Bigger in Texas’ earned strong editorial support across streaming platforms, particularly Spotify.

The album, produced and mixed in-house with her trio, Alan Mian (bass) and Dave ‘Big D’ Browning (drums), marks a bold, expansive statement from one of the UK’s most compelling jazz, soul, and R&B artists.

STARSPIRE – UNCLAIMED BAGGAGE
London-based creative strategist and Managing Director Ranj George steps fully into his artist identity with the release of his debut album under his multi-genre project, STARSPIRE. Titled ‘What Is Meant For You’, the record is an ambitious and emotionally resonant body of work spanning 13 genres, from hip-hop to country, pop to indie, unified not by sound, but by storytelling.
The album’s lead single, ‘Unclaimed Baggage’, is a sharply observed country-pop reflection on modern male loneliness, following a mid-40s divorced man navigating dating apps, emotional fatigue and the quiet pressure to stay confident while feeling overlooked. Warm but unresolved, the track carries a lived-in quality, with intimate husky vocals and stripped back acoustic textures that mirror its bittersweet honesty. Have a listen to below…
DANI IVORY – NO OTHER WAY
DANI IVORY is back with her four-song EP ‘No Other Way’, a raw, unfiltered exploration of love, loss, and devotion. The project is a collective of soul, R&B, rock, country, and folk-pop, blending organic instrumentation with emotionally rich storytelling.Opening with ‘Looney Bin’ Ivory sets the tone immediately — messy, self-aware, and emotionally charged. Bright on the surface but layered with heartbreak underneath, the track blends organ, twangy guitars, and soulful textures that evoke Maggie Rose and Marcus King while staying rooted in Ivory’s signature sound: “I’ve been beating down every single door / I got no good shoes left to throw I’m looking for some more / I just can’t wrap my head tight around the thought / You’ve had enough of my love, don’t want me no more.”
The song captures the exhaustion, disbelief, and chaos of realising the love you’re giving isn’t wanted, with a chorus that makes the unraveling fully visible: “I turn into a wreck, a nasty mess / Mascara dripping, big hair flippin’ party bitch / I drink too much wine, I stay up all night / I’m a different woman when you’re roaming / Yeah I’m losing my mind to the looney bin.” Listen to ‘Looney Bin’ below…
VIANNA ROSE – I’M A GOOD WOMAN

SHEYNA GEE – TWO WEEKS
Traditional country artist SHEYNA GEE releases her highly anticipated new EP, ‘Two Weeks’, out now. Entirely written and produced by Sheyna herself, the project serves as a bold artistic statement—one that captures lightning in a bottle while showcasing her undeniable depth as both a songwriter and producer.
The EP’s title, ‘Two Weeks’, reflects the intense and deeply personal creative sprint during which Sheyna brought each track to life. The result is a cohesive, emotionally rich body of work that moves seamlessly between raw vulnerability, soaring resilience, and even a playful, tongue-in-cheek drinking anthem
‘Two Weeks’ was released last Friday (31st March) across all leading platforms. Why not check it out below…
Nick Ryan’s ‘ArchNemesis’ — a remixed reimagining of his earlier album ‘Nemesis’ — wastes no time making an impact. From the opening track, ‘Welcome To The Nightmare’, listeners are thrown into a vivid sonic landscape bursting with oversized synths and thunderous drums, clearly inspired by Rated R Remixed by Rihanna.
And that intensity never lets up. The album is relentless in its energy, pushing the listener to move as basslines grow deeper, more progressive, and increasingly infectious across the sprawling tracklist. There’s a playful, bubblegum sheen layered into tracks like ‘Bow Down’ and ‘Don’t Hold Your Breath’, offering a carefree contrast. Yet ‘Bow Down’ in particular flips that tone lyrically, as Nick Ryan confronts past experiences with narcissistic manipulation, transforming them into something defiant and empowering.
Diving further into the project, ‘Nemesis’ and ‘Joshua Sea’ immerse the listener in rich, 90s-inspired deep house textures. From there, ‘Politics & MindGames’ bridges deep house with EDM influences, exposing a more vulnerable side of Ryan as he explores themes of frustration and emotional strain tied to manipulation and deceit.
The album then takes a nostalgic turn with ‘Toast’, channeling the familiar, commercial pulse of 90s house music, before closing with an ambitious megamix that ties the entire project together.
Originally released in 2021, ‘Nemesis’ leaned more toward alternative rock and pop with subtle electronic elements. In contrast, ‘ArchNemesis’ dives into darker, deeper territory — both sonically and thematically — amplifying its focus on societal issues, personal relationships, and unapologetic self-expression.
‘ArchNemesis’ is now available across all major platforms — and it’s a journey worth taking; why not check it out below…
Must Listens: Bow Down – Don’t Hold Your Breath – Nemesis; What U Did 2 Me– Good People Are Hard To Find– ArchNemesis – Mega Mix

Country singer-songwriter BRI FLETCHER‘s latest single, ‘Help Myself’ is about using other people’s chaos as a distraction.

Based on their own experiences, ‘Let Go Of Me’ touches on the tough decision of cutting off toxic relationships, particularly with family members and long term partners.
