Emerging singer and songwriter Ana Luna unveils her new single "Dance in a Trance," an ethereal and introspective track that dives deep into the emotional aftershocks of a past relationship. The new single further showcases Ana's eclectic, genre-blurring sound and distinctive artistic voice.

Alt-pop powerhouse Maggie Andrew returns with "How to Sing for Money," an anthemic new single that’s as fun and energetic as it is raw, authentic, and emotionally honest.

Pop disruptor Sophie Powers teams up with genre-defying artist and producer RJ Pasin on "XO," an explosive new single that plunges into a chaotic, cinematic soundscape where hyperpop’s frenetic energy collides with the raw power of metalcore.

I. BIRTH OF A WOMAN

Oh so you were looking for a baby mama

Blue mountains from my aunt’s bungalow, her womb swollen from having had “only a daughter”

The dog still weeps on the dusty path—dust red like my grandma’s glasses

The Caribbean swallowed Kingston but cannot digest it because we are all still screaming there

Just W O M E N just W O M E N

Pop singer-songwriter Laura Pieri makes a bold return with her new single, "Flown Away.

I would like to present an adventure and management game named Bear and Breakfast (2022), developed by Gummy Cat.

The pieces of the story can be considered minor spoilers, but I am not revealing the main and important information about the game.

A few weeks ago, my friend told me about an app they were using to track their sleeping habits: Pokémon Sleep. When they first mentioned it, I found it strange. Why would Pokémon care about sleep schedules? So, I decided to try this mobile game for a night.

Indie-pop singer and songwriter Maddie Regent unveils "Miss Virgo," the final pre-release single from her highly anticipated debut album, On the phone with my mom, out May 16th.

i was a(u)n pulled trigger on your gun

you were too indifferent to shoot and too obsessed to simply let me run

so we hang on, half-there, half-gone

Rising avant-pop force Sophie Powers is back and bolder than ever with her latest single, "move with me."

Marking the dawn of a new era, the 20-year-old artist sheds the bubblegum neon aesthetic that defined her earlier work, stepping into a darker, rawer, and more nihilistic vision—one that embraces chaos rather than sugarcoating it. 

As a feminist and a cis* woman I am horrified at the Supreme Court’s decision as to what identifies as a woman - and this is why you should be too. 

On Wednesday, five judges at the UK Supreme Court unanimously ruled that a woman is defined by biological sex under the Equality Act 2010.

Therefore, this ruling is basically stating that trans women are not ‘real’ women.

This is absolutely horrifying and upsetting, and will affect how trans women are treated in all areas of society, specifically being excluded from female-only spaces.

We live in a country which is filled with diversity. Our country has various languages, religions, cultures, festivals, and traditions. However, there is a genuine fear among Indians that the influence of the western culture is gradually leading to the decline of Indian culture and tradition.

We have often read and heard about childhood trauma and we are aware that it is a poignant subject. When a child experiences trauma it significantly affects their behaviour and emotional state; traumas often induce the feeling of solitude even in the presence of friends and family.

The lead up to turning 30 definitely felt like a momentous occasion, but then things were… the same. I didn’t wake up and feel as though I had magically changed overnight into this ultra-sophisticated put-together adult woman. I still felt as though I had no idea what I was really doing. But I think the most mature thing about turning 30 was accepting that that’s okay, learning that we are all on different paths, and understanding that everyone’s milestone birthday is going to look completely different.

The intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and music production has sparked both excitement and concern within the music industry. Recent developments in machine learning have empowered individuals to recreate the sounds of their musical idols from the comfort of their own homes, leading to a proliferation of AI-generated music and innovative tools. However, the implications of these advancements raise complex questions about creativity, ownership, and the future of the music industry.

I spend hours waving goodbye.

It hurts, doesn't it?

The goodbye that breaks my fingers and my heart.

I wave 'bye' to every last person I've ever dated...

The stars gaze back, but there's no way for me to greet them.

The cat who edits what isn't loved is motivated

by its own greed for the spotlight.

It's been asleep, dreaming of the red pen

it'd paw at when it heard a new poem in the hall.

I can’t believe another year is over!

They say that time flies when you’re having fun, but time also flies when you reach the ripe old age of 30 (I’m kidding guys, 30 isn’t old). 🙃🙃🙃

So much has happened in 2024. For me personally, I’ve had many changes in my life; I turned 30, a long-term relationship ended and then a new one began, I was a bridesmaid for an incredible best friend, I got a new job, I visited new countries, saw new music, and met amazing new people while growing existing friendships.

I shall be a child.

I shall rush through things.

I shall be foolish about things.

—Until I do not know myself.
