Remi Wolf Attempts a Series of Pop Acrobatics in 'Big Ideas' and Flawlessly Sticks the Landing
Remi Wolf’s sophomore album Big Ideas is here, and it's full of personality, spunk, and energy only this unique artist can capture. In this 13-track record, we hear Wolf more assured in her sound than ever while still conjuring the unmatched spirit of an artist trying to figure it all out. On the themes discussed in this album, Wolf shares “I wrote these songs about love, lust, anger, fantasies, harsh realities, vices, low lows, and high highs. And I made them with vulnerability, detail, intuition, and love, with people that I deeply care about.” The result is a rollercoaster of a record that traverses genres, styles, and the full spectrum of human emotion.
INJI and Flyana Boss Embark on an International Girl Summer Anthem in "NICE TO MEET YA"
A crossover for the girls and gays, INJI meets Flyana Boss on the international girl summer anthem, “NICE TO MEET YA.” Collecting lovers like passport stamps, “NICE TO MEET YA” is a modern pop soundtrack for every hot girl with a mystery stream of income who has Instagram hard launched a month-long European summer excursion. We don’t know how she got there, but the photo dumps are impressively avant-garde.
d4vd Wishes His Ex Well in Heart-Tugging Ballad "There Goes My Baby"
Leave it to Houston, Texas phenom d4vd to write THE ballad of the summer. His latest single, "There Goes My Baby," is a soulful lovelorn ballad that sees the breakout star expressing his admiration for his once significant other who has already moved on to someone new. Instead of telling his story through the classic lens of the "if you love something, set it free" mentality, he wants to see his ex find peace and happiness with someone else.
Pale Waves Capture the Bittersweet Release of Heartbreak in "Glasgow"
Critically acclaimed UK indie pop outfit Pale Waves leave it all in the rearview on their latest track, "Glasgow." The song is a poignant breakup anthem, focusing on lead singer Heather Baron-Gracie as she laments about fleeing Glasgow after being abandoned at the altar. The track opens with bittersweet, '80s-reminiscent sonics as Baron-Gracie reflects on a relationship that began at "the start of the summer." Despite her better judgment and friends' warnings, she fell deep into the whirlwind romance that soon turned sour and cold.
flowerovlove Conjures a Love Spell in "Breaking News"
There’s nothing that can reawaken your belief in magic quite like falling in a new love. Childlike and euphoric, soft pop songstress flowerovlove bottles that very feeling in her latest single, “Breaking News.” You can always guarantee that 19-year-old multi-hyphenate flowerovlove will be to some degree lovestruck, though “Breaking News” serves as the innocent crush anthem. Produced by Duck Blackwell and co-written alongside close friend Ines Dunn, this song has the ability to transport you to the first time you felt butterflies and decided you would love that person forever, whether it was 10 years ago or 10 days ago.

🆕 ARTIST DISCOVERY
Theo Moss Leaves a Lasting Impact With Debut Single "Autopilot"
Theo Moss is making an impact with her debut single “Autopilot,” which marks the beginning of a new artist project from this introspective lyricist. Hailing from Southern California, Moss is no stranger to the music industry. But with this new era, it feels like a clean slate. After spending over 12 years studying violin and discovering her passion for music at a very young age, “Autopilot” departs from her classical roots and ventures into something potently grounded and true to her true artistic voice.
