Alice Ivy – Popstar (feat. Låpsley)
Following her sun-soaked release last December, Alice Ivy returns with ‘Popstar’, showcasing her adept fusion of acoustic and electronic elements. Collaborating with Låpsley, the artists steers away from their electronic signatures and embracing a hard-hitting alt-rock aesthetic.
JESSIA – Care About Me
JESSIA’s “Care About Me” is a distinctive soul-stirring crafted pop ballad that evokes a deep exploration of relationship. “I knew it was a special song as soon as I wrote it, but I didn’t know if anyone would relate,” JESSIA says.“I am proud to say it has become another ‘safe space’ anthem for my community.”
Rosa Linn – Universe
Crafted under the production of Cirkut, “Universe” showcases Rosa Linn’s mix of folk-infused vocals with an anthem doubling as an ode to longing. The track explores the profound emotions of yearning for someone or something that exists beyond the grasp of reality.
“Universe” is my anthem for the daydreamer,” Rosa Linn reveals about the song. “It is a song about longing; longing for someone or something you can never have in this version of reality; imagining another life, other circumstances, creating a whole different world where all the stars align perfectly for you to get that one thing that’ll finally make you complete!”
Mirrorball – Take a Shot
Los Angeles-based indie-pop duo Mirrorball’s “Take a Shot” combines dream pop with a touch of overcast psych-pop. The essence of the song revolves around opportunities in life and taking risks, drawing parallels to the unpredictability of betting on a horse race.
Neptune’s Core – Box
Chicago-based alternative indie rock band Neptune’s Core delivers a dynamic double single release with “Box” and “Anyway,” showcasing their expertise in crafting ability to explore new musical territories while maintaining gripping lyricism and polished instrumentation. The genesis of “Box” came to life during a late-night studio session when band member Sofie (vocals/guitar) stumbled upon a captivating melody. The resulting track exudes a powerful and unique sound, capturing a moment of musical discovery that left the band beaming and screaming.
Asha Jefferies – Stranger
Asha Jefferies’ “Stranger” serves as the opening track of her upcoming album – navigating the challenges of self-discovery and expression within a relationship, touching on themes of codependency, identity, voice, and the yearning for freedom – capturing the essence of feeling lost and confined while addressing the universal desire for space and exploration.

Arabella and The Heist – 1769
Arabella and The Heist ‘1769’ is a fierce and seductive single that captures feverish energy, embodying the chaotic indulgence of a night out in the punk underworld, as Arabella describes it as a “2AM heartbeat.” Named after a brand of red wine, ‘1769’ encapsulates the essence of a Melbourne night out, pulsating with energy and tension.
