Moldovan singer-songwriter Catalina Cara sees new life on ‘What a Feeling’

Hailing from Chișinău, Catalina Cara has accomplished a lot in her young life. The Moldovan singer – formally known as Cătălina Cărăus – debuted her first single at just 15 years of age. By 17 she’d made a leap and left her homeland for Britain where she landed several roles as an actress. Fast-forward to present-day, and the singer-songwriter, who also carries the flag for Romania, has found herself everywhere from the Electric Castle festival in Cluj to the pages of Elle.

Pilar Victora returns, energized by new single ‘Mi Vida’

Nearly a year since her last release, Argentine-American Pilar Victoria has emerged from the quiet with a new single in hand. Picking up where she left off with Grammy-winning producer Happy Perez, “Mi Vida” is a slow-burning ode to the dull but consuming ache that often comes with long-distance love. “Don’t go to sleep, just talk to me. Just one more thing, baby don’t dream,” she sings in the pre-chorus, the song’s lone English stanza.

Holland’s 45ACIDBABIES get spunky on new album ‘Paint The World Pink’

Aself-proclaimed “multidisciplinary collective,” Dutch group 45ACIDBABIES are back with their 12-track sophomore LP “Paint The World Pink.” As bubbly as it is crunchy, the quartet leans into individuality and nonconformism, which rings true not just lyrically, but production-wise as well. Led by the focal single “Running In2 U” the album lurches from a sharp palette of sounds that includes hallmarks of indie rock, pop, funk, disco, and more.

Long Island teenager Camryn Quinlan looks forward with ‘ex-box’

After kicking things off in the back half of 2024, pop singer-songwriter Camryn Quinlan is gearing up for 2025 with release of her latest, “ex-box.” Centered around her powerful vocal, it’s a fruit of her tandem with Icelandic producer Baldvin Hlynsson, who’s also produced the rest of her discography to date. “ex-box” is about “the box of cards, gifts, jewelry, movie tickets, and other sentiments that came from” an ex-lover, says the teenager, who hails from NYC. With a foursome of published singles now under her belt, and a massive social media following to boot, the Long Islander could be one to watch in coming years.

Interleaving elements of soul, pop, electronic, jazz, and indie, TAMMIE’s METAMORPHOSIS is just what its title suggests – a brief sonic journey that is both transformative and steadfast.

Modulated guitars, haunting pianos and pocketed drums are aplenty on what TAMMIE describes as a chronicle of spirituality.
