​Sometimes the hardest part of goodbye is waiting for someone to finally say the words.

​​

Mercy lives in those final moments of a relationship, where heartbreak collides with the desperate need for honesty and closure.

​​

Rather than soften the ending, Tones and I pleads for it directly — if the love is really gone, say it,

even if hearing it hurts.

​​

Raw, vulnerable and emotionally charged, it captures the strange cruelty of uncertainty when sometimes the most merciful thing someone can give us is the truth.

What do you do when the person you still need has already started moving on?

 

Regret runs beneath the bright indie-folk warmth here, with Ally Row looking backwards at a love that couldn't be held onto and wondering what might have made things different.

 

There's no easy answer — just longing for another chance that may never come.

 

Adeline turns that ache into something surprisingly buoyant: a lovesick farewell for the ones we wish we'd had more time with.

WHERE HAVE YOU GONE

- NiickC -

Silence can create a thousand answers when the one person we need to hear from isn't responding.

 

Repeated calls and unanswered questions gradually give way to confusion, isolation and a mind beginning to spiral.

 

NiickC keeps the writing deliberately direct, allowing that repeated question — where have you gone? — to become increasingly desperate as the track unfolds.

 

There's an unsettling simplicity to it: not knowing what's happened can become its own kind of heartbreak.

SaWaDiKa

- LISA -

Confidence doesn't exactly knock politely before entering the room here.

 

Thai identity, global success and pure swagger collide over a hard-hitting beat as LISA celebrates exactly who she is and where she comes from.

 

Bangkok references sit alongside the luxury and bravado, turning the track into both a flex and a homecoming.

 

Bold, playful and completely unapologetic, SaWaDiKa arrives with one message: there she goes — and she's making damn sure you notice.

DADA

- Drax Project -

Growing up has a funny way of quietly changing what success

looks like.

 

Closed clubs, moving closer to family and slowing life down set the scene before one tiny new nickname changes everything.

 

Drax Project captures the exhaustion, missed moments and overwhelming joy of early fatherhood without losing the warmth and playfulness that makes it feel celebratory.

 

DADA is a beautifully simple reminder that purpose can arrive somewhere you never expected to find it.

NOT I

- Corrella -

There comes a point when staying quiet becomes its own kind of surrender.

 

Driven by heavy reggae energy and a relentless chant of refusal, Corrella pushes back against lies, pressure and those who expect people to simply fall into line.

 

The world around them may be unstable, but the response is resolute: stand up, question what you're being told and don't surrender what you believe.

 

Not I is resistance distilled into two words — simple, forceful and made to be shouted back.

LSD (LOVE, SEX & DIAMONDS)

- VANITY -

Why settle for affection when you can demand the whole damn jewellery store?

 

Love, sex, money and beauty become currency in a world where desire is transactional and excess is never quite excessive enough.

 

VANITY leans gleefully into a spoiled, seductive persona who knows exactly what people want from her — and exactly what she can get in return.

 

Flashy, provocative and dripping with attitude, LSD turns unapologetic vanity into part of the performance.

SLICK

- Victony -

Some tracks aren't interested in slowing down long enough to explain themselves.

 

Victony packs flirtation, luxury and effortless swagger into a breezy Afrobeats groove

built to move.

 

The repeated hook does most of the heavy lifting, while the verses flash through attraction, nightlife and confident excess without overstaying

their welcome.

 

Short, smooth and ridiculously infectious, SLICK is pure vibe —

and sometimes that's more than enough.

CHEESY

- Lachy Dods -

Saying “I love you” should be simple — until you're standing in front of someone who actually matters.

 

Lachy leans into the awkward, messy sweetness of romance, where being late, getting things wrong and wondering whether someone believes you all sit alongside genuine affection.

 

There's an old-school sincerity underneath it, without pretending love itself is ever quite that tidy.

 

Cheesy embraces the cringe of wearing your heart on your sleeve — because some things are worth saying anyway.

MISS UNIVERSE

- The Arcade Lights -

Beauty, status and designer bags don't necessarily make someone quite the catch everyone else thinks they are.

 

Behind the champagne, shopping sprees and carefully maintained image, perfection starts looking increasingly performative — and the relationship increasingly transactional.

 

Sharp, sarcastic and deliberately bitchy, Miss Universe happily knocks the crown off

its pedestal.

LITTLE BABY

- VIKA & LINDA -

A new life arrives carrying more than just the hopes of those waiting to meet them.

 

Heritage, ancestry and love flow through this beautiful welcome to a child entering the world, with Tongan language and tradition grounding its message of strength, kindness and belonging.

 

The generations that came before aren't simply remembered — they're part of what will carry that child forward.

 

Tender but full of life, Little Baby feels less like a lullaby and more like a blessing.

- Mark Wilkinson -

How do you say goodbye when an entire life was built around

being two?

 

Familiar songs and ordinary places become reminders, while letting go feels impossible when someone was your comfort, protection and constant companion.

 

Grief lives alongside the frightening question of how to begin again alone.

 

Tender and devastating, Goodbye captures the ache of a love that ended far too soon.
