It’s also worth checking out Matilda’s #100DayProject – which captures all the creativity that she was working on during lockdown.
Tom Did It is back with a cloud rap anthem that looks at those who once overlooked the artist’s talent. I’ve said it before but I’ll keep saying it; this is one of the UK’s most exciting new prospects!
“I just wanted a song people can get super hyped to and also have a slight meaning behind it, the song is basically a hate message to the ones that never supported me or liked me back before I did music, but now they see me making moves, and they’re coming back.”
A perfect balance of indie-pop and rock from Stockholm-based multi-instrumentalist singer and songwriter Viktor Spasov. The track feels raw and emotive yet engaging and fun at the same time.

Taken from the upcoming EP ‘Choose Life’ which is due for release in January.
This is one of those rare pop songs that packs a lot of punch without even trying too hard; a mellow production leaves space for sharp lyricism that looks at the moment Eluera realises her ex-boyfriend wants to break but doesn’t have the strength to do it.
And this whole time your window’s been facing mine
While I was only wasting time
All these hours you were hiding in my mind
Tonight I’ll finally get it right
A charming combination of lo-fi pop and indie; it’s impossible not to feel good after listening to this track.
When has Rina ever disappointed? Never? Correct.
“It’s about living a different life through dreaming, whether it’s to be with the dream girl or to be the dream girl. Me and Lauren Aquilina wrote this together on the floor of my tiny rented living room back in early 2018.”
Taken from her upcoming album ‘SAWAYAMA: Deluxe Edition‘ which is out 4th December.
An eccentric yet structured approach to indie-pop from British talent Max Taylor, also known as Creepy Neighbour.
No stranger to the music industry, Taylor was formerly past of synth-pop outfit Clor, who’s only album sits happily at no.1 on NME’s ‘100 Greatest Albums You’ve Never Heard‘.
A wildly eclectic and fun slice of electro-pop from 21-year-old American talent Silver Sphere.
“I wrote the chorus of ‘football game’ when I was in high school. At the time, it was about exploring sex and love for the first time, and the feeling of nativity that comes with that. But it’s also about the double standard of exploring sexuality for young men and women, and how often girls are shamed for the very experiences boys are praised and idolised for.”
A new British talent with a flair for creating smooth and atmospheric blends of RnB that feel fresh yet relatable at the same time.
“This song is about missing an old friend you were in an ‘entanglement’ with and trying your best to recreate the sexy spark you once had. This song explores the thoughts of a drunk man making an embarrassing phone call.”
This track is so damn sweet that it’s literally made my day ten times better. Just a very charming love song that needs to be heard!
Taken from Gavin Haley’s new EP ‘Unfolding’ which is out now.
As far as conceptual electronic pop goes, this is a pretty emotive sound that grows in character the longer you listen to it, and sounds even more impressive with subsequent plays.
“‘No One Else’ is a love song on acid. It’s about the kind of intoxicating infatuation that leaves you spellbound and incapable of making rational decisions. But it’s also about coming to your senses and taking a step back to see the bigger picture after the fireworks.”
Taken from the upcoming debut EP ‘Too Quiet’ which is out 2nd December via Radio Silence.
A minimal and dark, yet highly-charged and emotive track that I just had to share, taken from from LA-based talent Colby Lafayette‘s new EP ‘SO BAD‘.
A refreshing take on alternative hip hop from 22-year-old Melbourne talent Olive Amun, who’s honest approach to writing songs is crafted in a way to resonate with those in the world who feel like outsiders. But much more than that, this is a universally likeable sound and a huge prospect to emerge from Australia.
It’s close to impossible not to feel good after listening to Dolo Tonight’s playful blend of pop and hip hop. The LA (by way of New Jersey) artist has already caused a stir with previous release ‘Zoom‘, which has amassed over 1.2m views on YouTube alone.
“‘Graduation’ is literally my life. It’s the perfect introduction that shows my coming of age story over a classic sample-based, but original beat.”
