If you weren’t a fan of Anti-Hero before, I’d take bets that you will be after listening. And if you already were – here’s a whole new tempo and flavour to reignite your love for it.

Rhythmic electric guitar licks, mellow vocals, tribal rhythms and soulful layers of expression – a refreshingly humble but creatively faultless arrangement, which provides the rare quality of being music rightfully designed as a blessing; not merely an artist’s opportunity to showcase himself.
The pop-inspired hook keeps things poetic and personal, simple and easy to sing along to, and meanwhile the heavier, perhaps dirtier sounding bass, beat and synth combo balances things out with the alternative underground energy that consistently draws a crowd.
Electronic production and joyful, evocative patterns meet with lyrical contemplations that feel oddly relatable – ‘Come on let’s save the world, but not today…’ Another Day is the first single from the mysterious muqi – an electro-pop artist with a unique earworm of a melody to enthral you with.
Country, Folk and Americana all soulfully united with stories that relate and reflect – Banner Johnson returns, with a full length album of heartfelt gems and outright anthems alike.
Their clear unity as a band and the fearless tempo of the track speak volumes on behalf of a creative act with a boldly original thread of devotion and freedom to their sound, and there’s so much value in that approach right now.
The flow is smooth, settled in its confidence, the production in keeping with the study and chill playlists of today only with an essential twist of recognisable melody from the keys. It’s a clever way to blend the popular and the recognisable, and makes for a welcomed opener for an eight track project that consistently calms you down.
Smooth soul and the old-school comfort of Hip Hop crafted with purpose and commitment – Troy Remedy impresses in a humble yet uplifting way, for the beautiful new single Faith In God.
Future 9 was Bad Bubble’s first ever solo record, a collection of great songs that were twenty years in the making, from an artist with a uniquely captivating story and style.
Always unpredictable yet heartfelt, Eddie Wang consistently releases original songs that intrigue by both topic and design.
For his latest offering, Eddie presents the theatre-style depth of his voice by way of a long-form ballad and a brilliantly memorable pop hook.
Conceptually deep and provocative by nature, there’s more to love about Abstract with each re-listen. The production and melody create a shoulder-swaying groove that’s a pleasure to let play, but then on closer inspection, the lyrics prompt you to become inescapably aware of the fragility of life and the inevitable passing of time.
This is one of those songs that can’t be done any real justice in writing. Rich Strater creates a space within which listeners can reflect and ponder the world and the past in their own unique way.
