Chloey Indica – “Scared of Me”

Chloey Indica’s latest single, “Scared of Me” hits that raw nerve we all know too well, like when someone brushes off your feelings and makes you seem like the problem. It’s indie rock-pop with bite and heart, built around the moment you finally stop holding back and let the truth spill out. Honest, emotional, and just a little fiery, the song feels like a late-night journal entry turned anthem. It’s the latest peek at Chloey’s upcoming album ‘Things I Shouldn’t Say’ which drops early next year.. Seattle-born and now based in Nashville, Chloey Indica has been writing and singing her whole life, but she’s only recently stepped fully into her sound, vulnerable, real, and unapologetically her. With a growing TikTok following of over 280k, she’s building her community through every lyric as she aims to connect, heal, and remind listeners that their feelings are valid.

Outpost Drive – “Die For You”

Outpost Drive’s latest single, “Die For You,” is a hauntingly intimate dive into the raw duality of love, the storm and the stillness, the ache and the surrender. Co-written with acclaimed producer duo Jim Eliot and Jemima Stilwell (Ellie Goulding’s Halcyon), the song captures the beautiful tension at the heart of deep connection. With lyrics that weave stormy imagery and spiritual dualities, the song unfolds like a love letter scrawled in the middle of a hurricane. The married duo behind Outpost Drive, Willow and Mary Bragg Robinson, is a genre-blending force where the English countryside meets Southern soul. Mary’s warm, honey-dipped vocals carry the richness of her Alabama roots, while Willow brings emotional depth and grit with his powerful vocals and guitar work. Together, they’ve built a sound that feels timeless and lived-in, shaped by the places and stories that raised them.

Goodvibes Sound – “Park Sports”

Goodvibes Sound’s new single “Park Sports” is a breezy, nostalgic feel-good track that channels the carefree energy of sunny afternoons and retro skate sessions. With groovy basslines and shimmering synths, the song feels like a modern nod to the golden age of indie psych-pop and post-disco. This song aptly juxtaposes a bright upbeat sound with a touch of urban melancholy and longing for a simpler time when life was just running around in the park on a sunny day. Building on the dreamy, psychedelic pop they showcased in their debut album ‘The Institute’, the London-based duo Goodvibes Sound has a knack for crafting music that’s both personal and universally uplifting. This song is the third release in a steady run of singles, building momentum toward their anticipated second album Sunset City due out later this year.

REYKO – ‘IRRATIONAL’

REYKO’s new album ‘IRRATIONAL’ explores the complexities of human emotion and serves as a soundtrack to life’s quiet moments. The combination of Soleil’s dreamy vocals and Igor’s dynamic production, pulls listeners in for a retro “Dancing On My Own” features a stinging square synth lead straight out of the 80’s new wave scene. In contrast, “By Your Side” is slow and stripped down (yet still bathed in their signature reverb), with a “togetherness” theme all too familiar in the sync world. The London-based duo, made up of Spaniards Soleil and Igor, have built a reputation for their infectious melodies and genre-bending style, mixing psychedelia, indie rock, and electronica into something distinctly their own. They’re also no stranger to the sync industry as they’ve received placements in Freeform’s ‘Cruel Summer’, and ‘Élite’ or ‘Toy Boy’ on Netflix.
