“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.

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.

Fresh on the scene, Huddersfield based indie quartet Long Island are set to make huge waves this summer playing numerous festivals including Truck, Y Not & Isle of Wight and have released their new single “sweet song” just in time for you to be obsessed for when summer comes around. 

Lucy Dacus writes music for people who are told their whole lives that they think and feel too much, too big, or too deeply. And she doesn’t just see them, she’s one of them. That’s what makes her so great.

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.
