“BLAME” marks a significant turning point in Bailey’s career. With its energetic beats and poignant lyrics, it flips the narrative of rejection, transforming it into an impressive rhythm. This release kicks off what Bailey describes as a comeback era, filled with authenticity and a slate of new music set for 2026.

In her own words, Bailey Coats explains, “’BLAME’ is what happens when you turn a rejection into a dance record. It started as a topline that got passed on by Revealed Recordings in the Netherlands — fast forward five years, and I brought it back to life with fresh energy, new production, and a lot more attitude. It’s electro-pop meets redemption arc — the kind of track that makes you want to move and root for the comeback.”

Fans can expect more from Bailey Coats as she continues to evolve as an artist, embracing her journey and sharing her stories through her music. Whether you are a long-time listener or just discovering her sound, “BLAME” is a compelling introduction to her new chapter.

Sienna Melgoza is kicking off 2025 with undeniable momentum. Her new single, “Hate It When I See Ya,” dives headfirst into the emotional chaos that follows a breakup — that weird mix of longing, regret, and relief that hits when you least expect it.

The track leans into alt-pop textures, smooth R&B undertones, and Sienna’s trademark vulnerability. It’s melodic yet moody — the kind of song you’d find slipping seamlessly into playlists like “sad girl starter pack,” “Alt Pop Chill,” “Heartbreak Pop,” or “New Music Friday.”

Lyrically, “Hate It When I See Ya” captures that push-and-pull feeling Sienna describes as “an emotional tug-of-war.” It’s a song that moves through every post-relationship emotion — missing someone, resenting them, then finally realizing it’s time to let go. The storytelling is raw, the delivery is effortless, and the melody stays with you long after it ends.

Behind the scenes, the song was crafted by an all-star team including Caleb Hulin, Aaron Brohman, Ashley Mehta, Mat Mainhard, and Dale Becker — a lineup that’s also worked with SZA, Billie Eilish, Avril Lavigne, and Demi Lovato. The result? A lush, radio-ready production that balances polish with heart.

Sienna continues to prove she’s not just another name in alt-pop — she’s an artist with real emotional gravity. Tracks like “stitched on my tongue” and “differently now” have already built her reputation for honesty and introspection, and “Hate It When I See Ya” only solidifies that.

With over 28,000 monthly listeners and growing, Sienna Melgoza is quickly becoming one of the most authentic new voices to watch in 2025.
