The song is an open admission of vulnerability, love, and the realization that the relationship wasn’t what she thought it would be. With her bold and honest lyricism, MAXINE continues to carve out her place in the music scene, defying conventions and pushing boundaries.
money! - Charli Lucas
Charli Lucas’s "money!" is the ultimate scream-in-your-car anthem for anyone who’s been stuck in a toxic relationship. The song is a metaphorical middle finger to every ex who wasted your time, reclaiming your independence and self-worth. Co-written with friends, "money!" is a departure from Charli’s usual catalogue, exploring new sounds and styles in a fun and collaborative process.
You still look good to me (EP)- Drew Wilson
'You still look good to me' by Drew Wilson is a love song that reminds listeners to focus on the simple things in life and love. Regardless of the ups and downs, this track is about appreciating what you have and who you love, making it the perfect song to help you feel happy and content. Drew Wilson isn’t afraid to blur genres, dabbling in everything from folk-pop to indie rock, alt-country, and beyond. As a top-liner for international EDM producers in his spare time, Drew’s diverse influences shine through in his music, creating songs that are both personal and relatable.
Loser - The Tullamarines
The Tullamarines’ latest single 'Loser' is a quirky take on the feeling of waiting—waiting for things to change, for solutions to fall into your lap, or for life to get better. The song pokes fun at these unproductive feelings, encouraging listeners to push them aside and go after what they want. Formed in an Adelaide jam room, The Tullamarines are a group of over-thinkers who bring their individual perspectives together to create a unique blend of indie-pop. With a sound that feels like being smacked over the head with a pillow while jumping on a bed of giddy pop, The Tullamarines deliver honesty and warmth with every track.
