St. Vincent Delivers a Repetitive Reverie With 'Big Time Nothing'

American singer-songwriter St. Vincent has released another song as part of her new album, ‘All Born Screaming’.

The album cover depicts Anne Clark – the artist’s real name – on fire. Is this so that the artist could be reborn, like a phoenix, or some sort of performance art with respect to twisted current events?  Her new song ‘Big Time Nothing’ is about the empty stuff of city life and societal norms. 

The lyrics explore the conflict between conformity and individuality through clear instructions and contradictory commands. Each verse presents new directives: "Don't blink, don't wait / Don't walk, you're late”. 

Tessa and Friends Release The Brand-New Track 'no one's getting out unbroken (giving up my ghost)'

Following on from her previous release, 'I Think We All Going To Die', Tessa Forrest, now performing under the stage name Tessa and Friends, has released 'no one's getting out unbroken (giving up my ghost)', a track rich with contrast, blurring the lines between melancholy and buoyancy.

Tessa Forrest's solo indie-pop project, Tessa and Friends, sounds like a deeply personal endeavor, and it is. Her latest focus within ‘no one’s getting out unbroken (giving up my ghost)’ delves into themes of defeatism and the vulnerabilities that follow. This thematic focus adds a layer of authenticity and relatability, spilling her deepest thoughts within this track, bringing forth an intimate, raw experience for listeners to connect with her profound reflections together.

The Regrettes Are Back! (Temporarily)

On November 14th, 2023 The Regrettes announced their breakup through an Instagram post. The band stated they were going their separate ways to focus on solo projects. They played three sold-out farewell shows at the Fonda Theater in their hometown of Los Angeles. To fan's surprise they have released a brand new single. The track is titled ‘Something Magic’ for the Roku original series The Spiderwick Chronicles. 

The track opens up with a springy, energetic guitar riff. Then the track transitions into the pre-chorus. There is a slow and steady build drum up the pre-chorus that provides a satisfying decrescendo before we dive into the chorus—the springy guitar riff combined with the melodic rhythm of the bass. The track's lyrics are fun, sweet, and cut right to the chase. Chorus: “There’s something magic in the sky / And no one gets it like you do / There’s something magic in your eyes / And no one gets me like you do”.

Bad Nerves Delve into Indelicate Self-Exploration in ‘You Should Know By Now’

Never one to follow the rules, Essex-based band Bad Nerves continue to abandon convention in their latest track ‘You Should Know By Now’, an introspective track that abandons all caution. 

The track offers the final taste of their upcoming sophomore EP ‘Still Nervous’, which awaits release in late May, satiating the eager ears of their fanbase with their stereotypical lively sound. And, perhaps most astoundingly, it marks the outfit releasing a track longer than two minutes.

Pip Millett Deals with Self-Doubt in 'Better'

Following the release of her new EP ‘Tell Jimmy’, Pip Millett’s spanking new single is a powerful probe into feelings of insecurity and frustration. The song is a subjugation of raw emotions, effectively showing how the artist feels completely out of place. It is a soul song to the core, brimming with naked honesty that is refreshingly relatable.

In a trembling, vulnerable voice, her performance starts off with the words “A pip in every segment”. Intended to highlight the idea of something spoiled and unpleasant, you get the feeling of something personal and intentional. After all her name is Pip, and so she may be that bitter and hard obstruction in this beautiful, tender fruit of life.
