AUDREY NUNA
Rising R&B artist and rapper AUDREY NUNA returns with four new tracks off a special deluxe version of her debut body of work a liquid breakfast. Standout track “dollah bills” showcases the multi-hyphenate experimenting with a darker and more cryptic sound than we’ve been accustomed to, paring the murky production with her infectious flow makes this one of the most impressive tracks on the project.
Sinead Harnett

Radiating with confidence throughout the track, the singer’s floating harmonies hover across a nostalgic-tinged production making it one of the most refreshing tracks on the album.
Harry Stone
Harry Stone shares his new soul-driven single “Daydreaming.” Atmospheric, soulful but full of movement, the track touches on the challenge to connect but not fully lose yourself when around someone new. Harry Stone firmly stands out with his emotive, rawly honest but subtly addictive alternative-pop punctuates the messiness of young adulthood with nuanced lyricism, the pop newcomer is someone to look for this year.
J P Rose
London-based artist, J P Rose shares his new soul-laced, hip-hop-tinged single “Control.” This is the first cut from his upcoming debut mixtape Lo-Soul coming this spring. This head-bopping self-produced single showcases the artist in charge of his own path to greatness. The track proves the North London native storytelling skills, rising to become an authoritative voice for a new generation of self-made homegrown UK artists.
Erika Tham
L.A based Pop-R&B singer, songwriter, and actress, Erika Tham, makes a strong entrance this year with her new single “Shhh.” The tongue-in-cheek track demonstrates Erika’s lyrical wit and seductive flow as she puts every misogynist in their place. Paying homage to unapologetic female pop legends, the track interpolates Shania Twain’s megahit “That Don’t Impress Me Much” laced with an R&B drill-fused production.
Carmody
Carmody releases her latest single “Morning” off her highly anticipated debut album Imperfect Constellations, due July 6th. Co-written with Tom Mich the track touches on themes of grief and ultimately hope in the aftermath of loss, the song’s instrumentation oozes positivity with the uplifting guitar work paired with a soulful beat-driven percussion that juxtaposes the track’s deeply personal lyrics.
dee holt
Montreal bedroom-pop artist, dee holt, catches our attention with her latest single “Nobody Like You” from her forthcoming debut EP When I Close My Eyes. On the irresistible hook, dee warns a new love interest about the dangers of starting something new. Having a taste as to what's to come for her debut we’re more than ready to hear the rest.
Nick Ward
Sydney-based artist, Nick Ward, releases his latest track “FUNERAL” featuring E^ST. Written about the passing of his two grandparents in a short period of time, the song details feelings we’ve all experienced - the grief, numbness, and confusion of loss in a gripping and deeply personal way.
