1. Ruby Gill – Some Kind Of Control
Here’s the latest one from the Joburg-born, Naarm-based pianist, guitarist and singer-songwriter.

With co-writes and assistance from friends and icons, including Paul Kelly, Gordi, Lisa Mitchell and Benjamin Francis Leftwich, our longtime gave rediscovers their joy in making music with long-awaited EP, RAGE AND ALL ITS FRIENDS.
3. Billie Marten – Crown
Another of our favourite artists has announced her debut Australia and NZ tour. To coincide with the tour announcement, she has shared a new live-recorded single.
4. Evie Irie – Laila
Recorded in Sydney, this new track has seen Evie team up with ARIA-winning producer Eric J. Dubowsky (Flume, St. Vincent).
5. Foley – Heartstrings

6. Geoffrey O’Connor – Let’s Make Love Feel Good Again
This is the second taste of Geoffrey’s forthcoming and much-anticipated album, I Love What We Do, set for release on February 14th.
7. Veronica D’Souza – A Mountain
Veronica is an Indian/East African/Danish independent producer and songwriter, with a feminist, multicultural, and artistic approach to music and the world.
8. Blue Foundation – As I Moved On (Live at the Royal Danish Theatre 2024)
Recorded at a sold-out Royal Danish Theatre show earlier this year, this song is about refusing to be “stuck in your machine” and finding the courage to break free from a restrictive relationship or system.
9. iyah may – Karmageddon
The controversy surrounding this new single comes from her manager ending their contract over a lyric in the song that Iyah refuses to change. “I won’t dilute my art and what I believe in. No chance.
These lyrics are from a real and deep part of me and if it means being polarising then so be it. I’ll do it on my own if I have to.”
10. Salty – Cut U Off
The clip was directed and edited by Salty along with Zara Dimmock, who also put together the choreography.
