Madonna’s new single ‘I Feel So Free’
A veteran recalibration with clubland muscle memory intact. Upcoming album ‘Confessions II’ will bless us with a Stuart Price reunion, a sample from Lil Louis’ ‘French Kiss’ and co-production from Arca.
Sofie Royer’s new single ‘Cowboy Mouth’
Surreal and alive - Sofie Royer is a true original doing what she does. Built with Rebounder, this track carries a dry, punk-adjacent guitar crunch, set against a slightly uncanny atmosphere that recalls ‘Blue Velvet’-era David Lynch. An artist whose off-centre pop instincts are second to none.
Bleech 9:3’s new single ‘Underrated’
Dublin’s Bleech 9:3 keep things direct. There are surface-level comparisons to Fontaines DC, but ‘Underrated’ diverges in its vocal approach. Vocalist Barry Quinlan opts for a cleaner, more classic grunge delivery, closer to Layne Staley than post-punk speak-singing.
Nick León’s remix of Namasenda’s ‘Bad Love +1’
Nick León doesn’t just tweak Namasenda’s original, he destabilises it. The gloss gets sweatier, the pulse more syncopated, with reggaeton-adjacent percussion threading through the track’s sugar rush core. It’s sultry without losing bite, a remix that justifies its own existence.
Alewya’s new single ‘Selah’
Working again with Busy Twist, Alewya locks into something instinctive and body-led. The production hums with Afrobeats-adjacent propulsion, elastic bass and clipped rhythms, while her delivery stays loose, hypnotic, and quietly commanding. It doesn’t need to strain for impact.
