“Distracted” - Brandon Frizzell
With “Distracted,” Waukesha-based singer-songwriter Brandon Frizzell steps into bold territory — not just as a musician, but as a social commentator. The track cuts deep into the collective psyche of modern life, confronting our obsession with screens, outrage, and the endless scroll that keeps us comfortably numb.
“Crown” - Anna Porto
Melbourne’s Anna Porto might only be 21, but her new single “Crown” sounds like it’s been written from the ashes of someone who’s already lived — and learned — through heartbreak. Out now, the track is a raw and commanding slice of dark pop/soul, dripping with emotion, edge, and self-realisation.
“Sweat Drips” - Paul Louis Villani
Paul Louis Villani doesn’t just make music — he detonates it. With his new single “Sweat Drips,” the Melbourne-based musical maverick throws genre caution to the wind and launches a full-blown groove riot. It’s Funkadelic hip-hop at its most unhinged — a deliriously sweaty mix of brass swagger, elastic basslines, and lyrical chaos.
“The Bloom Project” - Adai Song
Adai Song — or ADÀI, as she’s known behind the decks — has never been one to follow the well-lit path. With The Bloom Project, the Beijing-and-NYC-based electropop artist, producer, and Berklee faculty member turns Chinese musical history into a luminous act of reclamation.
“Intergalactic” - Lucy Robinson
Lucy Robinson’s latest single Intergalactic is what happens when empathy finally grows a backbone. It’s tender, but it’s not timid. It’s dreamy, but it doesn’t drift away. Instead, it hovers — glimmering and resolute — over that emotional grey area between kindness and self-preservation.
“All You Need Is Lust” - Elise Trouw
Elise Trouw has never exactly played by the rules — but with “All You Need Is Lust,” she’s not just breaking them, she’s gleefully setting them on fire. The multi-instrumentalist, producer, and visual artist has built a career out of effortless musical precision — looping drums, bass, piano, and vocals into pop-jazz symphonies that made her a viral sensation.
“This is Not a Pop Song” - Sabina Estevez
There’s something instantly magnetic about Sabina Estevez — the kind of artist who doesn’t just sing songs, but conjures worlds. Hailing from Rio de Janeiro, Sabina brings a cinematic, witchy energy to the scene that feels both refreshingly anti-mainstream and hauntingly timeless. Her debut single, “This Is Not a Pop Song”, is less a rebellion and more an invocation.
“Life in the Slow Lane” - Double Yellow
There’s something beautifully crooked about Life in the Slow Lane — the debut album from Double Yellow, the alter-ego of Manchester’s own Dave Lilley. It’s funky, it’s weird, it’s slick, and it’s grimy — a kind of twisted, cinematic stroll through the backstreets of the city on a warm, hungover Sunday morning.
“SHIFT” - Amara-Fe
Amara-Fe steps boldly into the spotlight with her new release SHIFT — a high-voltage fusion of alt-rock, dark-pop, and commercial pop that proves she’s an artist unafraid of big ideas and even bigger emotions.
Exclusive Interview: Ball in the House

We spoke to Ball in the House about their journey so far.
“Just A Kiss” - K-Syran & Stonebridge
When StoneBridge links up with someone, you already know it’s going to be big. The legendary Swedish DJ and producer has been shaping house music for over three decades, but with Just A Kiss he proves once again that his sound is timeless. Add in powerhouse Norwegian artist K-Syran, and what you’ve got is a straight-up club anthem designed for both peak-time festival sets and your late-night headphone sessions.
“The Good Road” - Audren
Some songs arrive like letters from the soul — intimate, vulnerable, yet universal enough to belong to everyone who listens. The Good Road, the latest single from French-born songwriter, novelist, and self-proclaimed “good witch” Audren, is exactly that kind of track. It’s tender and nostalgic, but also powerful in its call to rediscover beauty, solidarity, and trust in a world that feels increasingly fractured.
