Love Hurts welcomes both the uplifting embrace of a synth-soaked EDM backdrop and the heartfelt, passionate connection of a song written with depth and intention.

IAMREBELWILL raises the bar beautifully with this latest release. Showcasing a stunning vocal style from the offset, and a soundscape and performance that gradually and artistically gather momentum and intensity throughout, Til The Sun Comes Down is as smoothly hypnotic as it is hard-hitting and energizing.
Fusing a powerful pop-rock backdrop with a world-inspired vocal chorus and an edge of hip hop, Never Give Up from Nurtuan is a hard-hitting and fairly unforgettable new single.
Zizzo World’s experience and awareness as a musician shine throughout the release. The riffs, the vocal melody, the lyrics – there’s professionalism and creativity intertwined at every step, and always with an essential wave of passion running through everything.
This humble and genuine approach to pop is rare these days, but it works well – the openness connects in a valuable fashion. For all of these reasons and more, Maddie Lynn is well on her way to having an enjoyable and treasured catalogue of inspiring, uplifting songs.
The song appeals for its intrigue, its classic roots, and that distinct sense of passion and power that pours through as the whole thing gathers momentum.
Stay In My Dreams is a definite stand-out for Stephon Foster to date. The track presents a somewhat nostalgic yet brilliantly crisp and infectious sense of rhythm – the beat and the backdrop in full lay out a colourful soundscape.
Musically there’s a beautiful level of nostalgia to the track Shadow Visions. Fresh from the EP Where You Know Yourself, the song bursts through with immediate warmth, colour, and optimistic energy.
That project title echoes in your mind as you make your way through the songs. Even with the musical positivity and bounce, you’re constantly drawn back to the thought of All I Do Is Bleed.
The artist $haun Porter impresses with entrancing soundscapes, effective melodies, and a notable sense of depth within his writing. This EP in full – Love Over Death – is conceptually considerate, often profound, and always deeply personal.
Depression & anxiety are subtle but certain driving factors behind the whole thing, and as you witness the accompanying video – beautifully shot & focusing on the humanity of the concept – you gather a genuine understanding of both the vastness at the heart of the struggle, and the togetherness that can ultimately help ease the pain. A stunning new release with a powerful undertone.
The wonderful Alaska & Aurora return not long after their last single, to offer up what is genuinely one of the most beautiful songs of 2019 so far.
