Swedish/American indie-pop duo Flora Cash releases “My Ex Would’ve Left By Now,” a melancholic track perfect for fans of sad pop, especially on a rainy day.
Cole Randall shares, “With ‘My Ex Would’ve Left By Now,’ we’re reflecting on the struggle to accept the care and patience of someone who stays, even when we feel unworthy. We aimed to capture the tension between recognizing our flaws and appreciating the rare love that endures despite them.”
After signing with Icons Creating Evil Art in 2015, Flora Cash earned nominations for Swedish Artist and Newcomer of the Year. Their full-length debut, Nothing Lasts Forever (And It’s Fine), was released in April 2017. Their breakthrough hit, “You’re Somebody Else,” topped alternative radio, went viral on TikTok, and achieved Platinum status in the US, along with multiple Gold and Platinum certifications worldwide.
Look out for Natalie Clark and her track “Iced Tea.” Reminiscent of Taylor Swift, this fun, quirky, breezy, and summery song is perfect for Spotify’s Dream Pop or Pop Up playlists.
“I wrote the song as summer was approaching, and I wanted to create a dreamy, summery world for people to escape to when they listened. I wanted the listener to feel that soothing, comforting, warm feeling on a summer’s day – laying on a beach or by a pool, sipping cold iced tea. Even if you can’t physically experience that, I wanted the song to still offer that feeling to you, to bring you some sunshine!”
Clark’s musical kicked off when Sir Richard Branson spontaneously requested her to perform while she was at the BBC Radio 1 Academy.

Keep an eye on Cole LC and his track “Marching on Together (feat. Deewaan).” Reminiscent of The Kid Laroi’s “Stay,” this uptempo banger brings all the good vibes.
At just 20 years old, Cole LC has made significant strides in a short amount of time, blending R&B, rap, and alternative pop into a fluid, melodious sound. Drawing inspiration from a diverse range of artists like Mike Skinner, Potter Payper, Mahalia, Lil Baby, and Ed Sheeran, Cole LC aims to be “unpredictable, but consistent,” working hard to learn from his musical heroes.
His talent hasn’t gone unnoticed, with support from BBC Radio 1’s Future Pop, 1Xtra’s DJ Target, GRM Daily, SBTV, and The Guardian. He’s also graced the stages of Reading & Leeds, Parklife, and Live at Leeds festivals, as well as completing a recent run of shows with ADMT and Tays.
Freedom Fry’s new track, “Sorry Situation Number Four,” is a standout release that blends the nostalgic vibes of The Beatles and Oasis with a modern indie-rock twist. The LA-based, French/American duo, Bruce Driscoll and Marie Seyrat, have crafted a dreamy, psychedelic sound that radiates carefree summer energy. With nonchalant vocals, fuzzy guitars, and lush electronics, this song is perfect for a laid-back day and could easily find its place on Spotify’s retro pop playlist. It’s their 6th single of the year, produced in their Los Angeles studio, and is a must-listen for fans of retro-inspired, psych-infused music.
