Valentin Henning-Relapse
With addictive hooks and a thorough understanding of pop, valentin Henning is back with another single. Relapse is a return to an addiction, encased in this sugary treat of a pop song.

Brooke has brought some lovely music to us over the years, and her cover versions bring a different perspective with a tint of a new shade.

Francesca Monte-Mistakes
The synth led and bled single will make an emotive connection with you almost instantly. Francesca Monte has a way of navigating through pop with some brilliance, and that is what her song creates. It is a current of emotion, attempting to mask the pain of mistakes and the incoming regret. Yet, the song flows with a dynamism that is characteristic to her voice. Being the wearer of multiple hats, she also makes an echo towards her brilliant production work to create a song that bleeds her style through and through. Listen to her latest here:
Patrick Lawrence-Forever Home
With his characteristic songwriting and emotive melody lines, Patrick returns with a beautiful acoustic number. This one especially hits close to home for those with a person that they love. It is a selfless act of expression, and Patrick creates the wind of change that shows love in a new light. It is an incredible admission with such simple lyrics and a complicated contagion of hearts. You can hear the simplicity mask how brilliant the composition is overall. This is one of Patrick’s greatest compositions, listen to the song here with us:
Ubu-Static(feat. Hannah Saunders)
Ubu is the collaboration between Mattia Mercuriali and Marco Trinchillo. It creates a lot of complex layers that adds other character styles from other musicians as well. IN this single, Hannah Saunders joins the team to create an avant-garde, Bohemian number. It has some beautiful composition parts that drive in the essence of melodies with minimal distractions. It is a complete and holistic composition that has simpler percussion parts and the spotlight falls on the vocals and lyrics. Though it transcends the elements of pop, there is a groove that makes us return to the root melody, for the final addiction. Listen to the song here:
