Alice Phoebe Lou’s latest single, “Better,” released on November 8, 2024, is a testament to her evolving artistry and ability to craft intimate, reflective music. With its rich, analog-inspired production and thoughtful lyrics, “Better” feels like a modern-day ode to the smooth textures of 1970s vinyl, yet it remains entirely in step with the current indie music landscape.
Natalie Clark’s “Nothing Left to Lose” marks a return to her acoustic roots, yet it never feels small. Instead, it’s a track that swells with emotion and urgency, capturing the very essence of confronting fear and anxiety. Co-produced with Todd Spadafore, the song strips back the production layers that defined her recent work, letting Clark’s agile vocals take center stage. And it’s in that vocal delivery—raw, vulnerable, yet undeniably powerful—that the song finds its true heart.
Kylie Rothfield’s “The Barrel” is a gentle gut-punch of a song—a slow-burner that takes its time to cut through the noise and land somewhere deep. It’s indie pop with a soul, borrowing from R&B’s emotional playbook and infusing it with something both timeless and incredibly of-the-moment. Co-written with a team that has their fingerprints on everything from Chapell Roan to Kelly Clarkson, the song is an exploration of exhaustion—the kind that comes from being stuck in the same cycles, in life, in love, in feeling like you’ve settled for less than you deserve.
Kylie Rothfield’s latest single, Never Loved Somebody, takes indie pop and infuses it with the timeless feel of 70s soft rock, a combination that feels as refreshing as it is emotionally evocative.

Rusty Reid’s Head to Heart feels like a personal manifesto, wrapped in folk-country charm, and delivered with the reflective wisdom of a troubadour who’s been around long enough to offer genuine insight. With its remix released in 2024, this album presents a more polished sound, inviting listeners to engage with its philosophical depth while enjoying the enhanced clarity and smoothness of its production. The title track, “Head to Heart,” embodies the heart of this project—both musically and thematically.
Tessa Lee’s “Mountains” is the kind of track that captures the restless spirit of adventure with an effortless charm. There’s something in the song’s laid-back, infectious energy that makes it feel like a soundtrack to a journey—whether you’re on the open road or simply daydreaming about being there. With riffs that stick in your head, a guitar solo that blazes through the mix, and sweet harmonies, it’s a song that feels light but carries just enough weight to linger.
Shaun Bartlett’s “I Threw A Stone – 2019 demo” carries a quiet confidence, wrapped in its simplicity. The track feels intimate, built around a soft piano progression and Bartlett’s calming vocal delivery. There’s something in the phrasing, the melody especially, that recalls the reflective tones of Coldplay, but it never feels derivative. Instead, it captures a certain universality in its approach to melody and space.
