Estella Dawn is a singer, songwriter, producer, and musician. She was born in New Zealand and lives in San Diego. She writes, records, and co-produces all of her music.

Her songs include “Detached,” “Hey Gina,” “514 Denim,” and “Big Enough.” She now returns with a new version of Chris Isaak’s “Wicked Game.” A lyric video comes with the release.

There isn’t a shortage of “Wicked Game” covers—it’s a long-standing song—but Estella gives it justice. She keeps it haunting and brings her own touch to it.

In this version, guitar and piano shape the sound. Estella sings lines like “I never dreamed that I’d meet somebody like you” and “What a wicked thing to do, to let me dream of you” with focus and care.

Watch out for the second release by Tori Lange, Meant to Last. It’s slightly more upbeat than her debut, Flowers, but maintains the overall theme—bursting with attitude reminiscent of Olivia Rodrigo’s early days.

She sings, “I’m ready to tear the page, I’m ready to rip it out — some things aren’t meant to last.” It’s a message about moving on: “It doesn’t matter if it’s a relationship, a job, or a chapter in life—some things just aren’t meant to last. Anyone can relate.”

Lange says, “Even when change is scary, it’s necessary to look ahead to the bright side.”

Tori Lange released her debut track Flowers, a mid-tempo song that blends alternative pop, Americana, and singer-songwriter styles. Recorded in Nashville, it features a steady rhythm and an easygoing vibe, making it a great fit for Spotify’s Good Vibes playlist.

Lange adds, “It only takes a small group of great friends to have a colorful life with them in it.”

Inspired by Orla Gartland, James Marriott, Arthur Hill, and Jorge Rivera-Herrans, 15-year-old Lange is a rising artist with a unique perspective. Born in Bonn, Germany, she has lived in Wiesbaden, Memphis, and London—drawing influence from each place to shape her musical style.

ZØYA, the Los Angeles-based, Belarus-born indie pop artist, returns with a striking double single release: Who Do You Think You Are? and Is It Real Now? (reprise). These songs are deeply connected—two sides of the same story—unpacking betrayal, the slow unraveling of trust, and the emotional echo that follows the collapse of a close relationship.

ZØYA is best in class when it comes to pop sensibility. With her dynamic vocal range and anthemic choruses, she crafts songs that cut deeper than typical pop fare—far from throwaway hooks, her work echoes the emotional resonance and ambition of artists like Lady Gaga.

Who Do You Think You Are? comes in sharp and direct, a bold confrontation wrapped in glistening production. Meanwhile, Is It Real Now? (reprise) is a quieter reckoning, a post-storm reflection that lingers. Together, they highlight ZØYA’s ability to thread narrative and emotion through both sonic punch and lyrical vulnerability.

These tracks are tailor-made for playlists like Pop Rising, Sad Pop, indie pop & chill, Fresh Finds, Tear Drop, and New Music Friday. Whether you’re processing your own fallout or just need to sit in the emotion, ZØYA’s got the soundtrack ready.

Watch out for Nuala and her new single Power, a striking blend of singer-songwriter storytelling and folk-pop sensibilities.

Nuala shares,“This one has been a long time coming. It’s probably the most heartfelt song that I have & I’m so glad to finally be putting it out into the world.”

Leicester-born singer-songwriter Nuala continues to carve out her space in the U.K. music scene. Known for her rich vocals, raw lyricism, and connection with live audiences, she’s taken stages at Glastonbury, Secret Garden Party, Boomtown, and more, while supporting acts like Newton Faulkner and Razorlight. In 2024 alone, she’s sold out headline shows in London and Bristol, proving her resonance runs deep with fans.

Beyond the acoustic world, Nuala has also made a name as one of the U.K.’s most in-demand feature vocalists. Under her dance alias **Nu-La**, she’s teamed up with CHANEY for Toolroom’s *Love Again* (over 20M streams), and continues her momentum with high-profile collabs on deck alongside Acraze, Sonny Fodera, Meduza, Camelphat, and Benny Benassi, following her signing to Insomniac Music Publishing in May 2024.

Power an ideal fit for playlists like ‘Acoustic Soul’, ‘Fresh Folk’, ‘Indie Pop Chillout’, ‘New Music Friday UK’, and Your Coffee Break. Whether it’s your first listen or your fifth, this one sticks with you.

Watch out for Carson Cruz and his new single, Be Your Destiny. A shimmering power-pop ballad that builds into anthemic chorus, Destiny hits all the right emotional chords—hope, longing, and that timeless ache for a love just out of reach.

Carson opens up about the inspiration behind the song:

“This song poured from my heart for someone truly special, someone just out of reach. Every encounter, I saw a glimmer of hope for a future together. While writing Destiny, I reflected on the universal longing for that one person. What seems impossible now might be destiny later.
We all experience love’s twists and turns—joy, sorrow, hope, and everything in between. Some hearts never forget that one person. Sometimes they become your future, sometimes they remain a cherished memory. But ultimately, only you and God know what the future holds. You never know—your Destiny might become your future.”

Now streaming on Spotify! Add Be Your Destiny to your playlists like Power Pop Rising, Heartfelt Hits, or Pop Ballads. This one’s for anyone who’s ever believed love might just find its way—against the odds.
