The whole track carries a vintage feel, pairing modernised production with a throwback sound that suits Kat's songwriting perfectly.
Chloe Charlotte - 'REAR VIEW'
Chloe Charlotte’s new single ‘REAR VIEW’ captures the fear of being left behind in a relationship. Fusing indie-pop with an alt-pop edge, the track lays bare the emotional turmoil of someone who can’t stop imagining themselves abandoned. It is another showcase of the honest and relatable songwriting that continues to define Chloe's deserved rise in the music industry.
AFTERDRIVE - 'Fashion'
AFTERDRIVE channel late-night chaos and magnetic attraction on their newest track, ‘Fashion’. It’s a song about being close yet distant, craving connection while feeling something hollow underneath. Sharp synths and confident guitars cut through the signature indie-style vocals that are making AFTERDRIVE so highly regarded.
Isak Danielson - 'Always You'
Isak Danielson's ‘Always You’ captures the weight of a love that never fully arrived. Danielson turns the memory of someone who wasn’t meant to stay into something hauntingly vivid. Strings and piano blend beautifully around Isak's voice, giving the song a cinematic reach. It’s a track that lingers long after it ends, acting as a real reminder of how much a person can shape you even in absence.
Martha May & The Mondays - 'SINK DOGS'
Martha May & The Mondays explode into their next chapter with new single ‘Sink Dogs’,a raw, alt-punk outcry. Raw vocals snarl over a huge guitar track that feels built for packed rooms and sweat‑soaked singalongs. With every release, Martha May & The Mondays continue to grow sharper, bolder and are becoming impossible to ignore.
Sansha - 'Mr Dinosad'
Sansha’s first single from her upcoming EP, ‘Mr Dinosad’, is a genuinely stunning song that has risen from one of the most inventive concepts. Written from the perspective of the last dinosaur on earth, the track turns frustration and invisibility into a playfully sharp song, that somehow manages to capture the full range of human emotions through a prehistoric voice. It’s clever, unpredictable and the perfect proof of why you need to check out Sansha’s music.
AIDXN G - 'DIRTY LAUNDRY'
AIDXN G’s new single ‘Dirty Laundry’ is a raw, unflinching look at friendship and betrayal delivered in pulsing pop fashion. The track captures that moment when distance brings clarity, when someone you once trusted becomes a stranger, doing so through the use of gripping synths and bass. It is fierce, fiery and an exiting sign of things to come this year from AIDXN G.
MADI C - 'DOWN'
The start of February saw MADI C release 'Down' the second release from her upcoming EP. This empowering, smooth RnB track is about breaking free from toxic patterns and standing in your own power. It is a confident and heartfelt release that blends vulnerability with strength. It is another strong release from MADI C who seems to be shaping something quite special with her impending EP.
Alannah - 'Ten Year Habit'
Alannah’s new single ‘Ten Year Habit’ feels as tho it sits at the intercept of theatre and contemporary music, taking the best aspects of both. Beginning as a sad, reflective ballad, the track gradually becomes a song you can't help but move to. Written in the aftermath of a decade-long chapter ending, it traces the strange mix of loss, shock and quiet strength that follows, expertly capturing the way grief and resilience can coexist.
Sam Lambeth - 'As Long as You're High'
Sam Lambeth’s new single ‘As Long As You’re High’ is a striking alt-country that channels the frustration of struggling to be heard. Sam captures the quiet dejection of facing an invisible audience while still holding onto determination and self-worth. This single sets a strong tone for Lambeth’s continued exploration of Americana-inflected rock, offering both melodic hooks and emotional weight.
Emanuela - 'Writer's Broken Heart'
This week's Songs of the Week are rounded out by Emanuela’s new single ‘Writer’s Broken Heart’. The pop-driven track turns insecurity into movement and irony, pairing upbeat production with lyrics on the constant comparisons and impostor syndrome haunting modern artists. Vulnerable but self-aware, the track shows Emanuela owning her space, balancing emotional honesty with catchy, considered pop.
