Songs of the Week - 24/11/2025
These are the essential tracks you need to check out this week!
vetvie - 'Jealous'
This week’s Songs of the Week open with vetvie’s new single ‘Jealous’, a sharp final release in what’s been a standout year for her. With a debut album and a run of strong follow-up singles already behind her, this one feels like the perfect way to close the chapter. The new track hits with a sharp mix of confidence and clarity with an almost haunting undertone that turns spite and rumour into something vetvie can stand on with pride. It’s a fiery release built from real experience, using that negative energy of people trying to drag her down to spark one of her strongest tracks yet. The song carries a bold edge, powered by tight self-production and vocals that cut straight through, making every line feel like vetvie is owning her space with zero hesitation. It’s defiant, catchy and delivered with the kind of bite that makes it unforgettable.
Liv Bloore - 'The Darling Song'
Last week saw Liv Bloore drop her debut single, ‘The Darling Song’, one of the most ethereal releases I have heard for some time. This feat is made even more impressive given it is Liv’s first. This song feels like a beautiful first chapter, introducing an artist whose music blends classical training with dreamy indie textures, capturing the best of both genres. The track builds around layered harmonies and soft piano lines that rise into something sweeping and emotional throughout the choruses, creating a world that feels both intimate and grand. Liv’s writing focuses on the kind of themes that linger in your chest long after the first listen, and this song captures that perfectly. It’s tender, searching, and full of depth, shining a light on the thoughtful storytelling that will sit at the core of her music going forward. ‘The Darling Song’ is a stunning start, setting an exciting early tone for an artist who will be a real one to watch.
Oli Bruce - 'Victim'
Oli Bruce has had an incredible 2025, releasing a string of standout singles that have showcased his lyrical honesty and dynamic sound, all of which have been building towards the release of his debut album, ‘Figuring It Out’. One of the record’s standout songs is new track ‘Victim’, a ska-tinged indie-rock release that captures Oli at his very best. The lyricism is relatable, the instrumentals are infectious, and his vocals are delivered with conviction. ‘Victim’ hits that sweet spot where frustration shifts into clarity, realising that the way someone has been treating you is unjust, and you are finally ready to call them out on it, refusing to let them play the victim. Both this track, and the entire LP, cap off a sensational year for Oli who has grown from strength to strength.
Lydia Reddy - 'Look At Me Now'
Lydia Reddy continues her sensational solo journey with the release of her third single ‘Look At Me Now’, a track that hits with a fierce alt-rock edge. It is Lydia’s rocky vocals that drive the track forwards, made to sound anthemic through the use of some clever background harmonies, building to a huge arena-worthy ending. Lyrically, Lydia has crafted a track both deeply personal and yet widely relatable, channelling every past criticism into sharp, confident and loud. This is a song for those who refuse to blend in or shrink for anyone, an inspiring message delivered in the most powerful way. Once again, Lydia Reddy has proved she can navigate genres with ease without losing the honesty and artistic identity at the heart of her music.
Melody Coles - 'What If, Maybe?'
This week’s Songs of the Week are rounded out by Melody Coles’ powerful new release, ‘What if, Maybe?’. This folk-pop song leans into the questions that circle when you’re anxious and unsure, shaping them into something warm and encouraging. It sits in that space between fear and possibility, where every doubt feels loud, yet there’s a small voice pushing you forward anyway. Melody’s gentle delivery wraps those feelings like a soft hug, reassuring listeners that things will be okay, and risks really are worth taking. It’s a song about growing up, second guessing yourself but continuing despite the surrounding noise. Honest, tender and the perfect way to round out what has been a standout year for Melody Coles.
