RELEASES
Giggs has released new single ‘Da Maximum’.
Tove Styrke has released new single ‘Another Broken Heart’. “A friend of mine got dumped and that was when I wrote it”, she says of the song. “I love the dramatic strings together with this beat. It feels both naive and grand at the same time, which I think really suits the song”.
Marika Takeuchi has released new single ‘Beyond’. The track is taken from her new album ‘Dreamer In The Dark’, which is out on 30 Sep. “This is a very personal album I made during my pregnancy”, she says. “It’s music for sleep and relaxation, the reflection of many changes that happened to my life in recent years, and finding peace in the difficult world we live in now”.
