You could find “One In Million” on Spotify playlists like Pop Rising, Fresh Finds, and Summer Hits.

Ella Vaillancourt could tour with artists such as Olivia Rodrigo, Conan Gray, Tate McRae, and mxmtoon.

Valerie Forgione returns with her project Lovina Falls and a new song called “Light and Low”, released on Friday, June 13. The track blends electronic elements with harpsichord and steady rhythm. Later that night, Lovina Falls will play at Deep Cuts in Medford with The Daylilies and RoseR.

The song explores moving through change and letting go of old ideas. Forgione says: “‘Light and Low’ is about recognizing that as time goes on, it’s ok to let go of old and ‘historic thinking’ to create a new path through and out of the Thicket of Now. It’s about knowing that when things change, the path is not predestined. Change the change. Move with conviction, but head gracefully into the unknown, light and low.”

Lovina Falls began in 2023 with the album Calculating the Angle of Our Descent, written and produced by Forgione. She plays piano, synths, guitar, bass, organ, and drums on the recordings. The project has drawn comparisons to Fiona Apple, Bat For Lashes, Charlotte Gainsbourg, and Elastica.

Before Lovina Falls, Forgione was the lead singer of Mistle Thrush, a Boston band that played with The Strokes, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Spiritualized, Sonic Youth, Lush, and Slowdive. The band received local recognition and national press and appeared on television soundtracks.

In 2024, Lovina Falls became a live band. They performed in the Rock and Roll Rumble and opened for The Chameleons. A new album is scheduled for release in September 2025.

You can hear Lovina Falls on Spotify playlists like Dream Pop Essentials, Indie Rock Road Trip, and Fresh Finds.

Lovina Falls could tour with artists such as Blonde Redhead, Alela Diane, Torres, Warpaint, Sharon Van Etten, or Marissa Nadler.

New Zealand-born, San Diego-base  artist Estella Dawn releases her version of The 1975’s “Somebody Else”.

Estella is a singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist. She writes, records, and produces all of her music. Her sound blends singer-songwriter structure with indie and alternative pop elements.

In the past year, her music has reached over 8 million streams and has been featured on Spotify’s New Pop Picks, Young & Free, and The Drip.

“I’ve always loved how vulnerable ‘Somebody Else’ feels—like a wound that hasn’t quite healed,” Estella shares.

“I wanted to lean into that ache, but give it a darker edge, like the moment where sadness turns into self-preservation.”

“It’s not about copying the original—it’s about translating it through my own lens. I kept asking, what does this heartbreak sound like when it’s colder? When it burns slower? That’s what I wanted to capture.”

This version builds on pulsing synths and steady percussion. Estella breaks the song down and rebuilds it through her own process.

This is not just a cover. It is her version. Simple. Clear. Hers.

Charlie McDonald returns with his second single, “Time”, following his debut, “You Broke Me.” The song was inspired by a personal moment when he found old photos of a friend who died in a car accident nine years ago. This discovery brought back feelings of loss and fading memories, which shaped the track’s emotional core.

At 26, Charlie lives between London and Paris. His music explores connection, loss, longing, and other complex feelings, using pop and R&B sounds to tell stories. His voice is quiet but strong, drawing listeners in with honest delivery.

“Time” fits well on Spotify playlists like Cinematic Pop, Sad Indie, Alternative R&B, and Soulful Pop. On tour, Charlie could share the stage with artists like James Blake, Labrinth, Dermot Kennedy, Rhys Lewis, Sampha, or Michael Kiwanuka.

About the song:
“I wrote problems. in February 2025 late at night. It’s basically a list of my problems in song form. I had just made a new friend who shared a lot of the same stuff as me, and for the first time I felt like talking about it took the weight away. It made me stop seeing it as something wrong with me. I brought the demo to Kaity Rae, and she helped shape it into what it is now. Songwriting is how I explain myself. I hope people hear this and feel understood.”
