Daði Freyr - 'Feel It'
Daði Freyr has just released his new album, Too Much Not Enough, showcasing some of his most direct and personal songwriting to date. One of its standout moments is Feel It, a moving track written as a defiant show of solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community. You can hear the heightened emotion in Daði’s vocal delivery, yet the song still carries that subtle, synth‑backed energy that preserves the signature sound fans have come to love.
Really Good Time - 'Do It'
Really Good Time have paired the announcement of their debut album Affirmations with the release of their ferocious new single Do It. It’s a track that turns everyday absurdity into pure fuel, delivered with the snarling charisma that has made Really Good Time one of the most exciting new bands around. We may have to wait until 7th August for the full record, but if the rest of the album hits anywhere near this level, they’re on the brink of something huge.
Lia Sky - 'Isn't it funny'
Last week saw Lia Sky drop the huge‑sounding Isn’t It Funny, a striking pop‑rock release that cuts straight to the moment when a relationship’s cracks finally come into focus. Built around a memorable chorus and some razor‑sharp guitar work, Lia turns heartbreak into clarity in a way that feels instantly relatable. It’s an impressively crafted track, shifting from hard‑hitting rock to softer piano moments with real ease, still maintaining an anthemic feel throughout.
Pien - 'Here's To'
Pien’s new single Here’s To hits with a clear sense of release, pulling together all the noise and second‑guessing that comes with trying to grow past old versions of yourself. It’s an empowering release fuelled by sharp, open lyricism and a melody that sticks from the first run through. I’ve been a lover of Pien’s music for a long time and I’m still amazed by her ability to get better with every release, with the country twang of this Americana track showing Pien at her very best.
Taylor D - 'Fake Illusion'
Fake Illusion sees Taylor D tearing into the chaos of self‑doubt with a burst of sharp, fast‑moving rock. The track hits hard from the first line, pushing through intrusive thoughts and warped perceptions with a hook that refuses to let go. Taylor’s writing feels especially raw here, pulling every jagged feeling into focus without losing the energy that drives her sound. It’s a gripping release from an artist who keeps finding new ways to raise the stakes
Moa - 'Spotlight'
This week's Songs of the Week are rounded out by Moa’s Spotlight, a bright, early‑2000s‑leaning electropop track built around sharp synths, tight guitar lines and a chorus that sticks in your head. It's a song that pulls together the doubts and late‑night overthinking that come with trying to chase something bigger in the most vibrant way possible. You cannot help but feel more upbeat after listening.
