“I’m working on convincing myself that if something I release doesn’t perform as expected, it’s not my fault. I make music because it makes me feel good. After all, I like sharing pieces of myself with others. But expecting too much takes away the spontaneity,” states Ludovica Massidda— or Luvi!, for those who follow her music — as we catch up about her newly released single, ‘Su Tinder’.

Concluding her GUTS World Tour this month, Olivia Rodrigo brought her best pop-rock princess energy to her two rescheduled Manchester tour dates at the Co-op Live arena.

It’s Sabrina’s world, and we’re all just living in it. With an all-women-led lineup, Sabrina Carpenter’s second headlining day at BST Hyde Park felt like a fun, carefree, heart-shaped night out with 65,000 of your besties.

Do you remember your first heartbreak? You certainly do, but if you don’t, pop princess Olivia Rodrigo will make sure to remind you, and so will all of her mates.

Irish quartet Florence Road have recently released their debut EP ‘Fall Back’, a new 5-track indie-rock project. The group, formed by four childhood best friends from Wicklow, Ireland, who found community via the posting of covers on TikTok, has steadily become a much-beloved act over the past few months. ‘Fall Back’ is the combination of this palpable love and the group’s immense talent.

With the words “I’m a real bad girl but a real good kisser,” Reneé Rapp ushered in her new era with breathy talk-singing, classically trashy-pop lyrics, and a catchy beat, supported by intense electric guitar. 

Lido Festival’s first edition in London has rooted itself as a daring and fun new edition to the UK summer festival landscape. Giving headlining artists the space, opportunity, and time to curate cohesive and genre-aligned lineups shows that when the status quo is shaken up, magic happens - until next year!

Miley Cyrus’ newest studio album, Something Beautiful, released this past May, marks an evolution in the singer’s artistry, blending sonic experimentation with personal lyricism. Exploring themes of love, loss, healing and transformation, this new body of work is accompanied by a visual film that demonstrates there is beauty amidst the chaos.

The second day of LIDO Festival was living proof that if you look closely at the world around you, you’ll likely find a reason to lose yourself to dance. Oh, and of course, that despite rain or shine, London will never hang up its dancing shoes.

After the storm comes a calm, or rather, after a dreary winter, comes festival season. Summer festivals have officially kicked off this month, and there's a new kid on the block – LIDO Festival. Held in Victoria Park, the 2-weekend festival is already making waves in the UK music festival scene.
