Alanna A. Love has released her first single, “Running Away” — an honest and reflective song about the temptation to leave problems behind by starting over somewhere new. The track combines a pop edge with thoughtful lyrics, drawing from Allana’s wide range of musical influences, including Taylor Swift, Gracie Abrams, Linkin Park, Calvin Harris, Rihanna, Coldplay, and Billie Eilish.

In Alanna’s words: “I wrote this song because sometimes I feel like life is easier when you start somewhere fresh. It’s fun and you get to meet new people. There are no expectations on who you have to be and you feel free. However, as you get to know people and they get to know you, the problems you thought you left behind start to come back. Your fear and anxiety start up again. Then you start to wonder if it would just be easier to run away again. This song is honestly about that cycle. About how tempting it is to avoid the hard stuff in life. It’s not brave. It’s not pretty. But it’s real.”

“Running Away” would fit well on playlists like Fresh Finds, Sad Bops, Indie Pop Chillout, Pop Right Now, Life Sucks, Sad Hour, Alternative Beats, and Young & Free. It’s a track that feels personal but relatable, especially for anyone who’s faced the urge to start over while knowing the past can follow you anywhere.

Rising artist Jaya Kellogg just dropped her infectious debut single, “Background Noise”, and it’s already proving she’s the kind of voice that lingers long after the music stops. The track is uptempo, a little dancey, and channels early Dua Lipa energy while carving out a style that’s entirely her own. Built on pulsing beats and sleek synth layers, “Background Noise” blends late-night yearning with a confident, hook-heavy chorus: “I can hear my voice, in the back of your mind, I’m your background noise, I’m your sweetest crime.” It’s the kind of pop earworm that makes you want to roll down the car windows and scream-sing the lines: “I can see my name on the tip of your tongue, I can’t say the same, why does it feel so wrong?”

With a debut this strong, it’s easy to picture “Background Noise” sliding  into Spotify playlists like Pop Rising, Fresh Finds: Pop, Dance Pop Hits, Indie Pop & Chill, It’s a Bop, and Young & Free. It’s a track that feels equally at home on late-night drives, Friday night pre-games, or solo bedroom dance sessions.

If you’re wondering who Jaya should share a stage with, imagine her on tour with names like Tate McRae, Mimi Webb, Fletcher, RAYE, Chappell Roan, Reneé Rapp, or Gracie Abrams — artists who, like Jaya, know how to fuse emotion and energy into something magnetic. Whether she’s headlining her own neon-lit club show or opening for pop’s next big name, Jaya Kellogg’s debut single proves she’s not just part of the soundtrack — she is the background noise you can’t stop humming.

Independent electro-pop artist ZØYA returns with her latest single, “I’m Good” — a bold, empowering mid-tempo track with attitude that draws from personal heartbreak and hard-won self-worth. Known for blending emotional depth with polished production, ZØYA uses real-life experiences as creative fuel. This time, the story centers around a deceptive relationship that ultimately sparked her growth. “I’m Good” isn’t a breakup ballad — it’s a confident send-off and a personal anthem of strength.

The track follows a string of releases including “Who Do You Think You Are?,” “It’s Alright,” and “THIS IS THE END.” Sonically, “I’m Good” weaves electro-pop with soul, echoing influences from ZØYA’s gospel roots while staying grounded in modern, synth-driven production.

Born in Pinsk, Belarus and raised in Columbus, Ohio, ZØYA’s musical journey started early—writing songs at age 6, recording her first album at 13, and training in classical piano and choir. Her work is both deeply spiritual and unmistakably contemporary.

“I’m Good” would sit comfortably on Spotify playlists like Indie Pop, Electro Pop Chill, Sad Girl Starter Pack, Fresh Finds Pop, Confidence Boost, and Women of Indie. Fans of artists like Tove Lo, Rina Sawayama, Jessie Ware, Allie X, Vérité, and Caroline Polachek will find something to love in ZØYA’s fearless, genre-bending style. She’d be a perfect fit touring alongside any of them

“Move Down Lover” blends elements of pop, rock, and R&B, exploring the push and pull between control and attraction.

The song would feel at home on Spotify playlists like Pop Rising, Fresh Finds, Indie R&B, Chill Pop, Women of Pop, and Alternative R&B. In terms of live performance, Estella would be a strong match touring alongside artists such as Bishop Briggs, BANKS, Meg Myers, St. Vincent, ZZ Ward, or Joy Crookes.
