On rotation this week is the brand new single from the multi-award-winning pop star and actor, Will Young. The British talent has released the new track, “Falling Deep” and it’s a euphoric slice of bold 80s-esque pop. The songwriter is gearing up to release his ninth studio record Light It Up on August 9th and he’s also embarking on a 50-date UK tour from September to November. Rising Canadian artist Blair Lee has shared her sophomore EP, Limbo. The EP boasts six fantastic alt-pop tracks with breezy vocals, poetic lyricism, and slick production.

Next up, the songwriter and producer duo, HONNE, are back. Andy Clutterbuck and James Hatcher have shared the track, “Imaginary”, their first release of the year. It’s uplifting, full of pristine production, and strings. Thematically, it tells the story of when Andy first met his wife back in college, it’s a heartwarming and soulful release. Nxdia has dropped the angsty new single, “Jennifer’s Body”. It’s seriously addictive thanks to the track’s pop-punk melodies and effortlessly cool vocals. Nxdia pays homage to the 2009 cult-classic horror flick of the same name which stars actor Megan Fox. It also explores a toxic ‘situationship’. Keep an eye on this artist.
