Let The Dust Fall - TYDE
Strength and vulnerability, surrender and rage. TYDE holds space for it all. Written by frontwoman Ella Belfanti during the depths of a preventable encounter with Topical Steroid Withdrawal, ‘Let The Dust Fall’ is a testament to both her songwriting prowess and ability to transform pain into progress. The arrangement is intricate and full of rhythmic ear candy. Oscillating between rhythmic folk/funk, atmospheric pop textures and delightful prog riffs, this track is everything we love about TYDE.

Modern Mending - Eimhin
This song left me teary in a shopping center food court. A work of lyrical alchemy, ‘Modern Mending’ follows whirlpools of metaphor and existential introspection before softening into the sweetest reassurance.
“You are the best you’ve ever been”
Supported by heart-swelling strings, backing vocals, delays, it feels like that day you sat crying on your friends couch only to be caught in their warm embrace.

Some Kind Of Control - Ruby Gill
Full of warm tones and a gently driving beat, this track would be perfect for a movie montage. So often we abandon ourselves in the name of another’s peace. So often we learn and relearn the same lessons. Ruby’s ability to weave personal experience into universal, timeless music is powerful.

Somebody New - Blusher
Okay so hear me out; Blusher has made the soundtrack for your post-heartbreak era. Soaring atmospheres give way to dancing rhythms and a euphorically catchy chorus. It captures the moment - celebrating with your besties and embracing the glittering possibilities of change.

Too Afraid To Ask For Love - El Tee
The conjunction of craving connection and self- sabotage is painfully and beautifully human. El Tee’s new single invites us to peer through the windows of her experience. Through the hope and doubt of this ongoing journey. Soft washes of guitar and surround poignant, conversational lyrics before erupting into a fuzzy instrumental swell that made me feel everything.
For fans of: Rowena Wise, Asha Jeffries
Masochistic - Emma Yue
‘Masochistic’ is a story of unfolding. Like a cathartic journal entry or a softening into surrender, this track invites us to feel our vulnerability. Like, really feel it. Brooding guitar textures and echoing spaces surround Emma’s confessional storytelling making a beautifully raw piece of music.
For fans of: Last Dinner Party, Olivia Rodrigo, Taylor Swift
