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.

Nick has written with Iain Archer (James Bay, Snow Patrol) and Matty Benbrook (Paolo Nutini, Dido). His music aligns with artists such as Ben Howard, Dermot Kennedy, Vance Joy, and Tom Odell, making him a fit to tour with Lewis Capaldi or George Ezra.

San Diego-based, New Zealand-born Estella Dawn unveils a haunting, genre-bending reimagining of Bon Iver’s “Skinny Love”—a track that proves she’s in a season of artistic reinvention. Known for her original work blending pop, soul, hip-hop, and rock, Estella’s recent releases have shown her different side—fearlessly taking on iconic songs and reshaping them into something entirely her own.

On “Skinny Love,” Estella infuses the folk heartbreak anthem with dark pop intensity, weaving bold piano chords, atmospheric synths, and sleek electro beats into a cinematic soundscape. Her raw, commanding vocals carry the familiar lines—“Come on skinny love just last the year”—with fresh urgency, capturing both vulnerability and strength. The moody, textured production makes it a perfect fit for playlists like Dark Pop, Sad Indie, and Atmospheric Pop, while her genre-blending edge would feel right at home on Fresh Finds Pop or All New Indie.

Malachi Mize has released his debut single, “Until Next Time” — a heartfelt mid-tempo track that stirs up memories while offering comfort, faith, and hope to the brokenhearted. Malachi shares, “It’s about my dad and any other people that have lost their loved ones — that it’s never goodbye for them. Even though it’s sad to lose a loved one, you will see them again, so it’s always just ‘until next time’ when you see them in heaven.” A fitting reminder of Philippians 4:13: “I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.”

With its heartfelt message and uplifting tone, “Until Next Time” would fit seamlessly on Christian and inspirational Spotify playlists like Christian Hits, Faith & Family, Worship Now, Acoustic Worship, Contemporary Christian, Praise & Worship, Morning Devotions, and Songs of Comfort. Its mix of warmth, hope, and faith makes it a natural pairing for live shows alongside artists like Matthew West, Casting Crowns, Zach Williams, MercyMe, Chris Tomlin, Tauren Wells, Lauren Daigle, Danny Gokey, for KING & COUNTRY, and Brandon Lake.
