Rising New Zealand singer-songwriter Blake has kicked off 2025 with major momentum following the success of her most poignant release yet, "The Gift You Gave Me.

Mim Jensen releases "Past Life”, the 2nd single from her forthcoming EP “Shadow Of The Gift” today.

"Dhoop," which translates to "sunlight" in Hindi, is a poetic exploration of personal transformation and self-discovery. Its uplifting blend of folk and electronic elements creates an emotional soundscape, with lyrics that reflect the journey toward resilience and renewal.

Prolific Tāmaki Makaurau musicians Caru & Brandn Shiraz join forces on their new EP ‘Back 2 Back’. The project combines both artists' respective styles to create a unique and fresh take on the classic 2000’s dance genre UK Garage. Brandn Shiraz’s boundary pushing MC skills effortlessly complement Caru’s refined production, resulting in a sound that’s both laid back and danceable.

Some songs feel less written and more unearthed, whispered into the world by the ether. Reb Fountain’s latest single, "Nothing Like," is precisely that: a love song brimming with a luminous pop sensibility, tinged with the depth of introspection. 

New Zealand-born, Los Angeles-based artist Alisa Xayalith has announced SLOW CRUSH, her debut solo full-length album due April 4, 2025. To celebrate the announcement, she gives us another glimpse into her diary with the new single, ‘What The Hell Do We Do Now?’

Today, Te Whanganui a Tara-based songwriter Michael Llewellyn has released ‘Down By The Packs’ - the second single from his upcoming sophomore album, I’M GORGEOUS.

Harry Charles returns in 2025 with the moody downtempo single ‘B’, from his forthcoming album, MOVEMENT.
