NICK RYAN – NEVER EVER
NICK RYAN is back with a heartfelt, nostalgic Y2K inspired feel that’s sure to have you thinking about a long lost lover, friend, or someone who left a lasting mark on your life. Ryan perfectly captures the feeling of confronting someone who betrayed you and walked away when you needed them most, with lines like: “You want back in / But where were you then? / The end was the end / I’ll tell you again, I’ll tell you again”
Ryan gets vulnerable about what it feels like to close your heart off for good, singing, “Never ever / Not gonna open up my heart / Never ever / Not gonna be torn apart,” and how that kind of hurt can change you permanently. That vulnerability shines through in his voice, giving the song an emotional weight that lingers long after the final note. Ryan perfectly delivered a song that feels instantly familiar, yet entirely his own.
‘Never Ever’ is out today for your pleasure.
HANDSHAKE IN SPACE – WAITING FOR YOU
Swedish electronic producer HANDSHAKE IN SPACE returns with single, ‘Waiting For You’, a must-have for the dancefloor!
Spanning 7 minutes and 1 second, ‘Waiting For You’ is an uplifting Melodic House / Progressive EDM journey. Driven by a 129 BPM rhythm in Key 8A (A Minor), the track pairs powerful, soulful lead vocals with lush synth progressions and driving basslines. It captures a transformative narrative—moving from reflective verses into explosive, emotional drops.
The monochrome triple-exposure artwork reflects the song’s message of resilience and mental health awareness, serving as an ode to finding light after dark periods.
“‘Waiting For You’ represents the transition out of prolonged isolation and mental struggle. It’s a testament to patience, presence, and the moment when the darkness finally begins to fade away.” – Stefan Halling (Handshake In Space).

MARIAM DAVINA – CERTAINTY
MARIAM DAVINA returns with ‘Certainty,’ a soulful Christian R&B track about trusting God when we cannot see or understand what lies ahead. Inspired by Hebrews 11:1, the song is a reminder that our faith is rooted not in what we see, but in who Christ is. Through every season, Mariam encourages listeners to walk by faith and remain certain of God.
Mariam draws inspiration from artists including Mary Mary, Kierra Sheard, Koryn Hawthorne and Ahjah Walls. Growing up leading worship and ministering in church shaped her distinctive sound, confident stage presence and powerful vocals.
‘Certainty’ is now out for your pleasure
