"interested" by Nina Cobham

Bilingual singer-songwriter, Nina Cobham, delicately mixes Spanish with English on smooth new number "interested". Written during lockdown last year when Nina was back at her parents' house, she explained: "It’s about the insecurities I have about boring people, exaggerated by the fear that isolation was going to really affect my communication with friends because I already struggled pre-lockdown to respond to messages."

"Love Potion" by Ralph

Ralph's new single "Love Potion" is a disco-driven tune inspired by the movie 'Midsommar'. "I kept thinking about this one scene where the cult women create a love potion to woo the male protagonist...and soon I was deep in a google hole of "history of love potions"" Ralph explained.

"Testosterone" by Grace Davies

"More Than a Friend" by GIRLI

GIRLI has dropped a relatable new track about unrequited love for a friend, but of course the sonics go hard. "I wrote this song about crushing hard on a girl who didn’t want me back.
