going through it – darrian gerard
‘darrian gerard captures emotional limbo with striking pop precision‘
going through it, moves between driven synth verses and a swelling, melodic chorus, anchored by layered vocals and clean, atmospheric production. this is just a clear hit, really. love it.
darrian gerard, hailing from british columbia, wrote, recorded and produced the track herself, playing every instrument. the release marks a defining statement of independence, unpacking the tension between hope and doubt in modern relationships with diaristic honesty.
thank u for making this darrian gerard 💖
mumma (luis almau remix) – amelie
‘amelie delivers a sunlit pop moment built for wide open skies‘
mumma (luis almau remix), glows with tropical house textures and buoyant electronic pulses, lifting the original into a warm, danceable rush. shimmering synths and a steady four-on-the-floor drive give it the kind of instant momentum we need this spring.
amelie, the independent british singer-songwriter, continues her upward rise with this rework of her latin-inspired anthem. still centred on the mother-child bond, the remix reframes the emotion through a brighter, club-ready lens while keeping her vocal clarity front and centre.

you eat me up, rose – julius belair
‘julius belair blends glossy indie pop and restless romantic tension with incredible results’
you eat me up, rose, layers shimmering guitars over pulsing rhythms, balancing disco inflections with cinematic bedroom vibes. the production is wonderfully solid, with a really exciting vocal presentation – it should be huge.
julius belair, the french-american multi-instrumentalist and producer, introduces his debut with a sound that nods to sleek french indie pop while remaining self-aware and diaristic. this first release sets out a late-night sonic world built on groove, vulnerability and control. essential stuff.

what brings you back – lana crow
‘lana crow delivers a tender pop meditation filled with light and reassurance’
what brings you back, unfolds at lovely, unhurried pace, pairing atmospheric keys with soft pop-rock swells and ethereal vocals. an 80s touch to the production, doesn’t stray into pastiche, and the chorus is a really, really lovely moment.
lana crow, the independent singer-songwriter known for blending indie pop with alternative edge, frames this release as a spiritual reflection. imagining the voice of god speaking directly to a searching soul, she leans into themes of presence, connection and inner light, offering a moment of calm in uncertain times.
thank u for making this lana crow 💖
