Michele Blasco reinterprets “Situazione Complicata” by Lucio Corsi
Some artists write songs to fill a playlist. Michele Blasco writes songs to fill the spaces people don’t talk about.

His lyrics…
PRÝNCESS — “Toys”: loud pop-rock, sharper message
PRÝNCESS enters like a lightning strike: raw, feminine, and unapologetically loud about who she is. Born in Manhattan and raised in Atlanta, she grew up inside the pulse of pop, rock, and R&B, shaped by icons like Michael Jackson and Prince. Self-taught and rooted early in the local church scene,…
Yosán Pereda — “El tonto”: soft Latin energy, heartbreak on repeat
Yosán Pereda writes the kind of songs that don’t chase perfection—they tell the truth. Born in Cuba and based in Lanzarote for the past decade, he carries both roots and road-dust in his music: warm Latin DNA, melodies that stay close, and a direct, human way of speaking about love…

ALIE: Turning Indie Pop-Rock Into Cinema You Can Hear

VGmates: Sydney’s Ethno-Fusion Collective Where Folk Meets the Future
Some bands “blend genres.” VGmates treat genres like ingredients—then cook something you’ve never tasted before. Based in Sydney, this Slavic-Australian six-piece moves in the orbit of folk / ethno-fusion, but the result doesn’t resemble traditional folk the way you expect it to. Their music feels handcrafted and cinematic at the…
Todd & Karen Turn Indie Pop Into a Smart, Restless Dancefloor
In a crowded indie-pop landscape where “quirky” is often just a filter, Todd & Karen land with something rarer: songs that feel genuinely alive. The duo—award-winning Norwegian singer-songwriter Øyvind Berge and classically trained Irish-Swiss musician Ina Verdi-Ruckstuhl—craft pop that’s melodic, slightly neurotic, and irresistibly danceable, with a knack for building…
