Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter and actor Winter Andrews released the third single “All That Glitters” from his upcoming debut album ’til the moon fades away on August 13, 2025, following “The Lovers” and “Wildfires.”

The EP will be released on November 21, 2025. It comprises 6 tracks, produced by Dave Thomas Jr, Winter Andrews, and Kari Kimmel.

The song was inspired by the early days of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and tells the story of a couple fleeing Mariupol and the choices made in times of crisis. It was written by Andrew Winter Gleckler and produced by Kari Kimmel, Dave Thomas Jr, and Winter Andrews.

Winter Andrews said:

“This song’s sort of a modern folk story. it’s from the perspective of a couple escaping from the city of Mariupol, which was destroyed in the early days of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.”

He added:

“I sat and picked up my guitar… letting words and melodies fall out. The chorus came right out and wrote itself in one take.”

“All That Glitters” could find placement on playlists such as Acoustic Hits, Folk Pop, Indie Folk, Singer-Songwriter Mix, and Fresh Folk. Andrews could also be a natural tour fit alongside artists including Hozier, Ben Howard, Dermot Kennedy, Gregory Alan Isakov, and Phoebe Bridgers.

Selina Gin releases Oh My Heart, a mid-tempo track that blends indie folk and bedroom pop with a chorus built for sing-along moments. The song fits naturally on Spotify playlists such as Indie Folk & Friends, Fresh Finds Indie, Bedroom Pop, Indie Pop Chill, and All New Indie.

Known as the lead singer of Danish trio Nelson Can, who released two albums and three EPs between 2012 and 2020, Selina now steps into a solo career. Her first single Deep Blue in 2021 marked the beginning of this new path, and she has since built momentum through shows and recognition in Denmark.

With Oh My Heart, Selina is positioned to tour with artists who connect across indie folk and bedroom pop audiences, including Phoebe Bridgers, Clairo, Lucy Dacus, Angel Olsen, and Maggie Rogers.

Global pop artist Shelita returns with her new single Fade, the second release from her forthcoming album Into the Depths (out August 29). The track sits comfortably alongside Spotify playlists such as Pop Rising, Indie Pop Chill, Fresh Finds Pop, and Chill Hits, offering a sound that bridges mainstream pop and reflective alt-pop.

Shelita’s story is as compelling as her music. While skydiving over the waters of Seychelles, a near-fatal accident left her with injuries that paused her career for years. That experience reshaped her outlook, infusing her songs with themes of impermanence and connection.

Fade, created with Bellringer and Lamar Van Sciver, is a meditation on fleeting relationships. The lyric, “This could be the last time we see each other. We fade out, we fade in, but come on in”, underlines the song’s message of presence and vulnerability. Shelita dedicates the single to her late father, grounding the track in personal meaning.

With over 20 million streams, previous Billboard and NPR coverage, and a Billboard Top 25 album, Shelita’s profile continues to grow. Her sound positions her to tour with artists like BANKS, FKA Twigs, Raye, Jessie Ware, and Tove Lo, performers who share her mix of electronic textures and intimate pop.
