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.

Carson Cruz has released his new single, Private Fool, now streaming on Spotify. The mid-tempo track tells the story of being in love with someone who doesn’t care, yet keeps the attention going through teasing and mixed signals. The lyrics describe the frustration of being made a fool of, while still being unable to walk away from the situation. It’s about wishful thinking in a one-sided relationship that will never happen. Private Fool would fit well on playlists like Chill Pop, Pop Rising, Fresh Finds Pop, Heartbreak Pop, Indie Pop & Chill, Late Night Vibes, and Bedroom Pop. Carson would also be a good match to tour with artists such as Lauv, Jeremy Zucker, Alexander 23, Chelsea Cutler, Conan Gray, Troye Sivan, and Gracie Abrams. The song is direct, relatable, and adds another strong release to Carson Cruz’s catalog.

Sassy Grace releases her new single “There Is Hope,” recorded in Nashville. Blending country and pop, the track centers on the uplifting theme of resilience. “There is a hope for the pain,” she sings, anchoring the song’s message about finding strength through struggle.

Listeners who enjoy artists such as Kelsea Ballerini, Maren Morris, Kacey Musgraves, and Carly Pearce will find familiar ground in Sassy Grace’s sound. “There Is Hope” could fit on playlists including Pop Country, Hot Country, Fresh Finds Country, Today’s Top Hits, and Country Pop Mix.
