Lauren Presley releases her new single Trade Secrets, a pop track with grungy rock edges that recalls early Avril Lavigne. The song combines guitars, heavy drums, and bold vocals while telling her first story about love.

Originally from Texas and now based in Nashville, Lauren has grown with her EP Hanging In The Balance and viral single People Leave, gaining millions of streams and features on playlists like Fresh Finds Pop and SoundCloud’s Shine Pop. Trade Secrets continues her rise and fits naturally with Spotify playlists such as Fresh Finds Pop, Pop Rising, young & free, Teen Beats, and All New Rock.

Komanii has released his new project Last Days of Summer, a four-track EP that blends Afrobeats, House, and Hip-Hop. Born in Nairobi and now based in London, he continues to shape his identity as a writer, producer, and engineer who takes full control of his creative process. His path started with the EP Niko Tayari in 2018 and grew through singles such as Habibi Cafe, Try Understand, TWENDE, HURRA, 254, and Back To You. He has also collaborated on tracks like “Gala” with Ayon Mukherji and Elrim, showing his ability to move between styles and scenes.

Last Days of Summer builds on this foundation and expands his catalog with music that connects to multiple audiences. The EP reflects Komanii’s ongoing link between Africa, the UK, and the US, pulling from influences like Chance the Rapper, Childish Gambino, and J. Cole while adding his own production approach. Beyond performance, he mixes and masters his own songs, creates visuals for tracks such as Roll’in, and produces for other artists, reinforcing his independent direction.

With its mix of Afrobeats rhythms, house grooves, and hip-hop flows, the project is positioned for placement on playlists such as African Heat, Alté Cruise, Fresh Finds Hip-Hop, Fresh Finds Afrobeats, New Music Friday UK, and Just Dropped, giving Komanii a lane that spans both emerging and established listener bases.

Natalie Shay releases her uptempo pop single “Do u relate?”, a track that channels the restless energy of moving from one chapter of life into the next. With quick-fire vocals, full-band drive, and a saxophone hook, the song captures the same kind of momentum listeners found in Harry Styles’ “As It Was.”

Already a festival regular with sets at Reading, Latitude, and Isle of Wight, Shay is now touring Europe with Saint Motel before headlining O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire.

“Do u relate?” sits comfortably in Spotify playlists like New Music Friday, Fresh Finds Pop, Pop Rising, Just Good Music, Indie Pop, Indie Waves, and Feel-Good Indie Pop.

Estella Dawn’s “I Like It Rough” flips judgment into fuel. She takes every insult and turns it into a weapon, building strength from friction and resistance. The verses cut sharp with her wordplay, while the hook makes defiance sound like survival. Dawn lays it out raw: she won’t shrink, she won’t soften, and she thrives where others expect her to break. It’s the stance of an underdog who refuses to stay small, pulling listeners into a fight that feels personal and unfiltered. The single sits right in the lane of Spotify playlists like Pop Rising, Fresh Finds Pop, Fierce Femmes, New Music Friday, Women of Pop, Anti Pop, Indie Pop & Chill, and Alternative Pop Picks.

Angela Chambers drops her new mid-tempo, haunting pop track The Key, blending dark textures with an ethereal vocal performance that lingers long after the first listen. The single arrives with a striking music video that explores toxic love, power dynamics, and self-liberation. The visuals depict a femme fatale robotic AI character who loses herself in a manipulative relationship before reclaiming her identity, breaking her chains, and escaping into a futuristic version of her true self. With its hypnotic vibe, the song feels at home on playlists like Pop Rising, Indie Pop Chillout, All New Indie, and Sad Pop, while fans of Banks, FKA twigs, Caroline Polachek, Grimes, and Lana Del Rey will connect instantly. The Key is both a bold artistic statement and a haunting reminder of resilience.
