Exclusive Interview: Robbie Z
If you’ve been feeling like the pop world has been a little too grey lately—too many moody ballads, too much introspection—Robbie Z’s new single “THE SUN IS LOUD” is your signal flare of unapologetic brightness. Released on June 20, 2025, this London-based artist’s latest track is a deliberate act of joy: three minutes of sugar-rush energy, early-2010s nostalgia, and a kind of shameless optimism that feels rare right now.
We spoke to Robbie Z about his journey so far.
“Summertime of Peaches” - Thammarat
There’s something instantly disarming about “Summertime of Peaches” by Thammarat. It’s not forcing itself into some heavily-produced “moment.” Instead, it feels like someone cracked open a bedroom window, let the humidity in, and just started daydreaming out loud. The track sits squarely in a cozy corner of bedroom pop—lo-fi enough to feel handmade, yet beautifully anthemic.
“cool like you” - Varun Sheel
Some songs don’t just play—they hold up a mirror. Varun Sheel’s “cool like you” is one of those rare indie pop tracks that feels like it’s dancing right on that razor’s edge between joy and vulnerability.
Musically, “cool like you” is light on its feet. The production pops with bright, glassy tones that recall late-night neon reflections—guitars are crisp and rhythmic, 808s hit with a modern, low-end punch, and the drums keep things snappy enough to land this firmly in “danceable” territory.
“Bolts From The Blue” - Norine Braun
Every so often, a song comes along that doesn’t just get stuck in your head—it sits you down, looks you in the eye, and reminds you why you’re still here. Norine Braun’s new single “Bolts From The Blue” is exactly that kind of track: part pep talk, part confession, and all heart.
“Séance” - RADARFIELD
Let’s talk about RADARFIELD’s latest single, “Séance” — because this one doesn’t just play in your ears, it crawls into your bones. If you’ve ever wanted a song that feels like lighting a candle in a dark room and whispering into the void, hoping something (or someone) answers back — your soundtrack has arrived.
“Save Me” - Olesia Glants
There’s something divine — no, truly otherworldly — about what Olesia Glants pulls off in her new single, “Save Me.” You know those rare tracks that feel like they could be played in both a cathedral and a nightclub? This is one of them. It’s a sonic tightrope walk between the sacred and the seductive — and somehow, Glants never misses a step.
“Speak Too Soon” - Mercy Kelly
There’s something seriously exciting brewing in Manchester again, and it’s got a name: Mercy Kelly. The indie five-piece are back with their new single “Speak Too Soon”, and if this track is any indication, they’re not just riding the indie wave — they’re shaping it.
“Heavy Machine Gun” - Leather Laces
Let’s be clear right out of the gate: “Heavy Machine Gun” is not here to mess around. The second single from Leather Laces drops July 25, and it’s two and a half minutes of pure, militarized sonic adrenaline. Forget lyrics, forget structure in the conventional sense — this is not a track you sing along to. This is a drill. A full-body, ears-first, no-prisoners live-fire drill.
“Ghost of Churchfield Shuffle” - The Revolt
Let’s get one thing straight: The Revolt are not here to play it safe. Their latest EP Ghost of Churchfield Shuffle is five tracks of raw, roaring, no-holds-barred post-punk fire, steeped in grit and grief, defiance and swagger. Born in the undercurrent of Churchfield’s cracked concrete and Cork’s ever-pulsing creative heart, this EP doesn't whisper its message—it screams it, guitar-first and unapologetically loud.
“Forever Is Mine” - MAHUNA
Every now and then, an album drops that feels less like a collection of songs and more like someone handing you their personal journal, page by page, track by track. Forever Is Mine, the new full-length debut from Belfast-born, Berlin-based songwriter Mahuna, is exactly that.
“TOP TIER” - Nuk
There’s something magnetic about hearing an artist who knows where they’re going — and Nuk’s latest single “Top Tier” is exactly that: the sound of someone grinding with purpose, rapping with conviction, and walking the tightrope between struggle and triumph with balance earned the hard way.
“Sweetlips” - Laguna
Some tracks hit you like a freight train made of glitter and grit — and “Sweetlips” by Laguna is exactly that kind of sonic chaos. Straight from the scorched psychedelic heart of Geelong, Victoria, this new single from James Guida’s solo project isn’t just a song — it’s an entire vibe, smeared with distortion, soaked in VHS static, and buzzing with unapologetic energy.
