Congratulations to pianist George Xiaoyuan Fu, who has won Gramophone's Concept Album Award for his album Colouring Book. The album is centred on richly detailed performances of Debussy’s Études, 12 pieces in two books that here frame a selection of 21st-century études, which build on Debussy’s own consolidation of the genre.
The Montreal-based artist blends folk intimacy and alt-pop glow on a slow-burning track about the ache of feeling like an afterthought.
With his genre-blending sound, Golden is redefining Colombia's contemporary music scene by weaving R&B and Afrobeats into a Latin sound that's distinctly his own. His array of global influences comes to life in this smooth performance of "Otra Nota."
Known as "El Amante" (The Lover), the Dominican artist from Jersey doesn’t just sing about love: he embodies it. "Ando y Busco" is a Latin R&B track that blends smooth melodies with seductive bilingual lyrics. The song tells a story of desire and pursuit, set against late-night moods, tinted windows, and passionate encounters. Its mix of Spanish and English creates an intimate yet playful atmosphere, where romantic tension meets urban sensuality.
Working with the likes of Matt Squire, LOUALLDAY, SameSame, Liam Kevany, Roger Alan Nichols & more to bring her stories to life, Emi Grace’s debut EP shows you the many sides of Emi, ranging from high-energy riffs to anthemic feels. The focus track Mr. Melodramatic is a sharp, alt-pop anthem unpacking the chaos of love with someone who thrives on drama. Punchy beats and cinematic textures meet biting, self-aware lyrics for a cathartic yet playful release.
‘Still Southern Playalistic - A COLORS SHOW’ is a breezy celebration of heritage, hustle, and unmistakable Southern spirit. Anchored by smooth guitar riffs, soulful basslines, and Dear Silas’s witty delivery, the track radiates charisma as his sharp lyricism blends humor, pride, and effortless flow. Vibrant and irresistible, this is perfect for funk-laced hip-hop and Southern soul playlists.
D.I.N.O.’s latest single reimagines the popular kids’ “brain break” game The Floor Is Lava with an energetic twist. Featuring all the D.I.N.O. characters, the track encourages movement, confidence, and fun through playful lyrics and upbeat rhythms. Designed to get children dancing and engaged, the release highlights D.I.N.O.’s signature mix of education and entertainment.
Agents Of Time return with “Baby”, featuring the evocative vocals of CERES. Renowned for their cinematic grooves and festival-ready sets, in 2025 alone, the duo have remixed Sonny Fodera, Swedish House Mafia, and played the MainStage at Tomorrowland. CERES brings serious weight of her own, having amassed over 500M streams, cementing her as one of dance music’s most in-demand voices. On “Baby”, they fuse hypnotic synths, raw emotion, and club-ready energy.
“How Dare You” by Jesse Clegg and Msaki, produced by Tresor and Batundi, is a striking exploration of emotional duality, the push and pull that exists between two people deeply connected yet, at times, in conflict. The song captures the raw tension of a relationship that oscillates between tenderness and turmoil, love and resistance. It’s a conversation between two hearts that can’t seem to let go, even when they clash.
