Laufey – How I Get
Slow and ethereal, “How I Get” feels like it exists in a hazy in-between space. Laufey continues to lean into that romantic, almost vintage softness she does so well. The vocals are delicate but intentional, floating over gentle instrumentation that allows every lyric to land quietly. A late-night, headphones-on kind of listen.
Alex Warren – FEVER DREAM
Upbeat and fun, “FEVER DREAM” is the track we have been waiting for since that TikTok snippet about freight trains and fever dreams started circulating. The full song absolutely delivers. It is energetic, slightly chaotic in the best way, and built for screaming in the car with the windows down. The hook sticks instantly and the anticipation surrounding it makes the payoff even sweeter.
Freya Ridings – Wild Horse
Freya Ridings brings her signature emotional intensity to “Wild Horse.” Her vocals soar with controlled power, layered over a steady build that feels dramatic yet grounded. There is longing in the delivery, but also resilience. It feels cinematic and heartfelt, the kind of track that leans fully into emotion without holding back.
JAIME FRENCH – The Hunter
It is giving Celtic folk song meets pop. “The Hunter” blends earthy, almost mystical melodies with contemporary production. There is a storytelling quality that makes it feel timeless, like something passed down through generations but reimagined for a modern audience. The fusion of folk elements with pop structure creates a sound that feels both rooted and fresh.
Lara Buchanan – Gold
“Gold” is deeply melancholic and personal. Lara Buchanan leans into raw lyricism, especially in the line, “so yeah it stings cause I did get out, but my soul still roams around my hometown.” That sentiment captures the complicated feeling of leaving somewhere physically while still being emotionally tied to it. The production allows the vulnerability to remain front and centre.
RAYE – Nightingale Lane
A pure vocal moment. “Nightingale Lane” highlights RAYE’s storytelling ability and vocal control. The lyrics pull you in and keep you engaged, unfolding almost like a personal confession. The stripped back approach places her voice at the forefront, creating an intimate atmosphere that feels intentional and powerful.
Sydney Rose & Tom Odell – Over
“Over” is melancholic and softly sung, a collaboration where the vocals mix so delicately they almost feel inseparable. The stripped back production enhances the quiet sadness running through the track. It is tender and understated, relying on subtle emotion rather than dramatic crescendos, and that softness is exactly what makes it linger.
