Joint 1 – Wolf Alice – Bloom Baby Bloom
A fiery, defiant track that marks their return and sets the stage for their album The Clearing. It’s both a comeback statement and a record that balances grit with beauty.

Joint 1 – Cliffords – Bittersweet
“Bittersweet” is such a sharp little emotional blade, a song about looking back at your own coming‑of‑age mistakes and realising you’ve turned them into folklore.

3 – Blondshell – T & A
A brilliant song that explores romantic and sexual tension, where attraction is complicated by drinking, vulnerability, and emotional conflict.

4 – Horsepower – Are You Blushing
It’s a tender, indie-pop song that captures the awkwardness and vulnerability of attraction, framed in poetic fragments and understated instrumentation.

5 – Nicole Miglis – Autograph
Flew completely under the radar, but it is a magnificent record. It’s a mission statement to establish her solo voice, balancing experimental daring with emotional honesty.

6 – Soda Blonde – Dream Big
Not normally one for live albums or orchestral reworkings. However, this is magnificently epic. The whole record bursts out of the speakers, grabs you and refuses to let go

7 – Lorde – What Was That
Lead single from her magical studio album Virgin, released in April. Cemented her place as one of the few pop artists who can turn personal disorientation into a universal anthem.
