Danny Suede shares the sun-kissed new tune, "shadows on the pavement"

Bursting out from Spokane, United States, is Danny Suede, who has recently released his new track titled "shadows on the pavement". The new offering from the American singer-songwriter has already shot to the top of his most popular songs on Spotify, and I can easily tell why from the very first minute. ... a shimmering, uplifting slice of bedroom pop that feels made for sunny days. The opening sequence of the song is a delicate balance of acoustic guitar mixed with his serene vocals and a dash of electronic pulses just to get you all warmed up. For me, the fusion of bedroom pop and alternative pop sounds reminded me of an early Ed Sheeran as he was about to take over the British music scene. With that in mind, it sounds like Danny is also going in that direction. It is such an uplifting track and has brilliant shimmering moments that make this an unmistakably top pick for your Sunkissed playlists. He is an artist who is on the rise, so be sure to listen to him as soon as you...

Olivia Booth drops her alt-rock banger, "FROZEN"

Manchester-based rising artist Olivia Booth has today delivered a fierce alt-rock punch with her striking new single "Frozen." The track just came out hours ago, but thankfully we got a pre-release stream. I can personally say that I have been enjoying it for the last week since I first landed my ears upon it. It's got an incredible intro that highlights her emotion and vocal prowess from the get-go. As soon as the drums come in, the track steadily builds with extra layers of guitar and a haunting synth tone that just buzzes away in the background before it ultimately erupts at the 1.5-minute mark into an incredibly strong indie rock cut. ... a fierce, gritty alt-rock track bursting with Manchester indie energy and powerful vocal prowess. There's that undeniable Manchester indie grit in the song, and it has a tremendous amount of indie rock energy that is just swirling around the scene in the UK at the moment. There are a lot of acts that are rising out of the Manches...

blue pablo shares his new alt-pop gem, "i am a telepath"

Coming out of Albuquerque in the USA is blue pablo, and the new single is a sharp slice of alt-pop. The new single comes in a long line of solid single releases, and when this track opens up, it reminds me almost of The Neighbourhood in places, but with more of an alternative pop underpinning. ... a harp, atmospheric slice of alt-pop fusing deep synth lines with soaring guitar hooks. I really do like the deep and thick synth lines that act as the base of the track, and when they interweave with the tremendous guitar hooks, it really helps to bring together the whole track. It's a really fun track and even though it sounds dark in places, it's quite an upbeat slice of music. If you wanted a track to get into the artist with, then this could be a perfect example of what they are all about. I really loved the haunting melodies that are throughout the song, especially from the midway point onwards. Another highlight for me was towards the final minute of the track, where the vocals...

Maze Cricket reveals the immersive new single, "Stranger."

Thessaloniki, Greece-based producer Maze Cricket has recently revealed an immersive and haunting new track titled "Stranger". Released at the perfect time of year, when the nights seem to get longer and creep into your day a lot earlier than ever, this dark pop track has plenty of layers for you to get stuck into. ... a haunting dark pop gem pairing angelic vocals with a scintillating, sub-heavy bassline. One thing I liked was the simplistic beat and electronic sounds that bounce off it, alongside somewhat gorgeous and angelic vocals that sound equally bright yet somewhat mysterious. Backed by 22 years of classical piano training, the artist has seemingly blended in lots of aesthetics that can really resonate with new listeners and old listeners alike. I don't know too much about the Greek music scene, but if this is an example, it could be a vastly underrated country for rising musical artists. This is certainly the kind of track you need to turn up to the max whilst on...

Maddison Breen drops the emotive new cut, "swings and roundabouts"

Coming out of the scene in the Gold Coast, Australia is singer-songwriter Maddison Breen, and today sees the release of the striking new single, "swings and roundabouts". I'd like to just start off with some initial notes from when I first heard the track. The intro alone reminded me of the very best piano-driven tracks that Coldplay have ever released and also gave me massive nostalgic moments for the late 2000s (when the likes of Keane were dominating the airwaves in the UK). ... a striking, nostalgia-infused alt-pop single blending cinematic piano lines with Britpop-inspired vocal emotional weight. Vocally, this sounds like a better version of Radiohead's Thom Yorke and is far more polished in terms of the quality of her voice and the notes that she can hit and the emotions, too. Having been born in the UK, she has certainly got a big influence from the Britpop scene, and you can certainly hear that here, with tones that even sound like The Beatles in places. If th...

Blake Baker returns with his charming new single, "Calluna"

Back with his fourth single of the year is Hertfordshire-based singer-songwriter Blake Baker. The delightful new track is an absolutely soulful slice of indie rock and acoustic pop charm, with inspiration being drawn from the likes of Paolo Nutini and Sam Fender. ... a vibrant, soulful slice of acoustic indie pop packed with warm guitars and irresistible charm. The sequence at the beginning with the intro is really enticing. Here, vibrant guitars that are very sun-kissed play off his vocals tremendously. As soon as the chorus hits, a dash of piano comes in with acoustic percussion, sounding very crisp and groove-driven with sweet melodies all throughout. There's a reason that we keep coming back to Blake's music, and it's the fact that it's so welcoming from the first play. When you delve into this track for the first time, you too will feel this way. For me, when I heard this, I really enjoyed the final third. It's a bit more atmospheric, with a dash of horns that ...

The Kellows drops the ambitious new tune, "How Many Signs"

The Sheffield-based band The Kellows return with "How Many Signs", with this new song showcasing how ambitious the quartet truly are. It's a very melodic indie rock anthem that truly showcases all of their talents. ... a melodic, timeless UK indie rock anthem that proves The Kellows are a rising force built to go the distance. It's a bit more of a laid-back affair, with this one not being so frantic, but it absolutely highlights that the band really do shine when the tempo is slightly lower. We need to stop comparing them to bands from their home city, as they are rapidly turning into a band that others will soon be influenced by. It's such a charging track, with the vocals being one of the most prominent features, alongside driving guitars and a punching backline that will certainly hook you from the get-go. To me, this sounds like the kind of track that listeners of Radio X would absolutely love. With the likes of BBC Radio 1, 6 Music, and multiple online sites...

Richard MARCER unveils his atmospheric instrumental, "Running Wild"

Back with his sixth release of the year is Saint-Cyr-sur-Mer, France-based composer Richard Marcer. The new piece from the French artist takes you on a mesmerising journey. Right from the very start, you can hear some atmospheric synth tones that seemingly elevate you into another atmosphere. ... a deeply atmospheric, layered electronic journey designed for immersive listening. It's very cinematic and blends plenty of ambient textures with some left-field electronic elements that give it a truly layered experience. As the track progresses, it becomes more intricate, with lots more detailed sounds interleaving amongst one another. It sounds to me like this was designed to be listened to whilst you are deep in a mesmerising study, so be sure to put this on in your best set of headphones and enjoy. Want us to hear your music?

The Snake Preachers drops their eclectic new tune, "Half Past Midnight"

Coming out of Melbourne/Naarm, Australia, is the outfit The Snake Preachers, and they have recently revealed their moody and groovy new cut, "Half Past Midnight". It's once again a shining example of the incredible music scene that they have down in Australia. Even though this is their first single since 2024, it certainly sounds like they have been touring all over the country already. ... a dark, cinematic masterpiece blending post-punk grit with psych-blues flair and timeless Australian swagger. The track seemingly blends a post-punk edge with some bluesy and psychedelic moments that really help to bring together quite the dark and haunting soundscape. It's incredibly cinematic, and at over five minutes long, it is the type of track that you feel like you'll be well acquainted with by the time it finishes. It reminds me, in places, of The Last Shadow Puppets and even Nick Cave, with lots of charming guitar solos that help to prove their masterclass for all to h...
