Madelline – Slide Pop to the Side, Blow Up the Stage

Picture a stage: the lights hit, but at the center, there isn’t a star — there’s an explosion. That explosion is Madelline. Montréal-born but no longer bound by borders. Think Lily Allen’s snarky honesty, Marina’s theatrical melodrama, Taylor Swift’s storytelling power… all present in her sound, but still, she sounds like none of them. Because in her first U.S. tour in 2025, Madelline isn’t just a singer — she becomes a character, an event, a memory. Dazzling Chaos: Madelline On Stage Madelline’s performance isn’t complete through headphones — it comes alive through sweat, lights, and a pulsing crowd. Each song starts like a wink, then detonates across the dance floor. Her lyrics don’t lie — half-written text messages, revenge never taken, hearts too big for the night to hold. From Chicago to Austin, she didn’t just wink at her audience — she pulled them into the heat of the dance with an electric charisma. The clothes are neon, the beats are electro, and the lyrics feel like gra...

Bug-eyed – We Talk Thunderstorms Not Showers (Part 1): Capturing the Night

In the lost melodies beneath London’s dark streets, Bug-eyed creates their own universe with We Talk Thunderstorms Not Showers (Part 1). The EP blends indie pop and electronic sounds, capturing the chaos of youth, broken hearts, and the essence of the night. Blue O’Grady and Charlie Sale, when they take the stage, offer more than just music — they present a universe. Their unique stage aesthetics pull the audience right into it. [The lights are on, but the emotions shine brighter.] Ten to Twelve – Between Love and Reality The opening track, Ten to Twelve, tells the story of two souls lost in a room. The lyrics reflect all the contradictions of a moment, the times when darkness and light intertwine. Two young people vanish with a glance, but are found again with every melody. Ten to Twelve blends traces of the past with the passions of the present. Every note, every rhythm, echoes the feelings lost in the hum of a city.

Wishy – Triple Seven and the Echo of Suburban Dreams

Hailing from Indianapolis, Wishy drew attention in 2024 with their debut album Triple Seven , blending shoegaze, dream-pop, and indie rock into a vivid sonic tapestry. Led by Kevin Krauter and Nina Pitchkites, the album's songs reflect the quiet frustrations of small-town life, youthful longings, and the tangled emotions of love.

Gelli Haha – A Neon Dream with Switcheroo

Bubbles float across the stage, inflatable sea creatures bounce around, boxers dance on one side while a vocalist in neon sunglasses takes the spotlight… Welcome to the “Gelliverse.” And at the heart of this universe is Gelli Haha. Real name Angel Abaya, she emerges from the quiet of Idaho and steps into the wild rhythm of Los Angeles. Her debut album Switcheroo, arriving June 27, 2025, doesn’t just make you dance — it peels off a mask with every beat. “Piss Artist” – Out of a Colorful Mess One of the album’s standout tracks, “Piss Artist,” sprays fluorescent paint over traditional pop structures. It fuses the anarchic energy of Devo, the funky chaos of Remi Wolf, and the playful spirit of Chai into one melting pot. But make no mistake — this isn’t imitation. This is the doorway into Gelli’s own universe. Is it fun? Absolutely. Is it chaotic? Entirely. But this chaos doesn’t empty your head — it pulls you in. Gelliverse – Not Just a Stage, But a Storytelling Medium When Gelli H...

Samia – Bloodless: Among the Silent Screams

If there's someone walking under streetlights with eyes always searching elsewhere, it's Samia. Bloodless sounds like her voice cutting through the night: quiet but burning from within, delicate yet sharp enough to slice through anything it touches. This isn’t just an indie-pop album. It’s a world where sentences fall like blades, and synths spread like the night. Each track feels like a line hastily scribbled in the corner of a diary—memorized before it could be erased. “Sea Lions” – For Those Who Scream in Silence With a track like “Sea Lions” opening the album, there’s no need to speak. Samia embraces loneliness like a dance partner in this song. The melody begins gently, then suddenly surges with emotion—not piercing your eardrums, but cracking through your chest. She doesn’t explain; she makes you feel. The Silence Between the Words Bloodless turns heartbreaks, late-night walks, and 4 a.m. “How are you?” texts into melody. There are no screams in this album—but...

Niontay – Fada<3of$ The Truth That Echoes Through the Noise

Straight outta New Jersey, Niontay isn’t breaking the rules with Fada<3of$ — he’s breaking the volume. Rising from the shaky ground of trap beats, this album feels like a basement party drenched in sweat, a brain that won’t shut up after midnight, a bassline that cracks the ceiling. This ain’t just a “rap album” — it’s a place to live in. No “Cinderella,” Just “So Lovely” — And This Ain’t No Fairytale At the core, you’ve got tracks like “So Lovely.” The tones might be smooth, but the words? Sharp like glass. Love, loss, and outlaw soul get packed into one line. Every beat hits like a fist breaking open a locked room. Shawty Pimp, Gucci Mane, even SoundCloud’s darkest corners — their ghosts are in the air, but Niontay doesn’t copy their sound. He breathes it. Not Lost Feelings — A Lost Friend The album’s dedicated. It was gonna be called 2009, but that’s not just a number anymore. This is a letter to a friend he lost — proof that even grief can dance. “Old Kent Road Freestyle...

The album transcends ordinary melodies, offering an atmosphere that highlights experimentation and originality. This sound, blended with folk influences, takes listeners into a deep, dream-like realm. A Dream-Like Journey: Mayfly and Violet Luster invites listeners into a sensory experience rather than an internal journey.

"Cherry" – A Bittersweet Spring Tale From the very first note, the album carries a subtle fragility. Like the first cherry blossoms suddenly blooming in the final days of winter. Tenci's vocals are sometimes soft and introspective, like silent thoughts that pass through one's mind while walking alone at sunset.
