London-born folk artist Seth Tabatznik unveiled his latest single, ‘Let Go Of Fear’, on December 12th, 2025 through Moth Music (Mother Of The Heart). Hot on the heels of his recent singles ‘Shining For Love’ and ‘Choose To Be Alive’, both championed by tastemakers like CLASH Magazine and EARMILK prove Seth’s star is rising fast. Since his debut in 2024, he has already surpassed 100,000 streams and counting. His live shows have quickly become must-see events, with sold-out performances at Boschendal Estate in Cape Town and Green Note in London’s Camden. With a second album on the horizon for 2026, Seth Tabatznik is carving out his place as a standout voice in the Indie Folk scene.

Seth’s journey from the heart of London to the wild beauty of South Africa’s Western Cape mountains shapes every note he plays. His acoustic folk and medicine music pulse with a deep respect for the earth, blending soulful harmonies and honest lyrics that connect ancient wisdom with a fresh, modern spirit. Guided by mentor Nick Mulvey and inspired by his guitar teacher Rainer Scheurenbrand, Seth crafts songs that are both a reflection of his personal path and a spiritual exploration. Fans of Bon Iver, Novo Amor, and Sleeping At Last will find themselves drawn into his next release.

‘Let Go of Fear’ marks a wintry shift from the guitar-driven indie folk of Seth’s earlier singles. Expansive yet close, the track drifts on lush strings and shimmering piano, while Seth’s gentle vocals hover above, quietly beckoning listeners to release their fears.

Seth shared: “Let Go of Fear is a cover of a Nick Barber song: Heart’s Mystery. Its a song I fell in love with and adopted over the last few years; as passed onto me by my guitar teacher Rainer Scheurenbrand. I’ve sang this song round the world, in ceremonies, in singing circles and at festivals as an audience singalong and am grateful to be sharing this personalised recorded studio version.”

Jairic Unleashes n=40: An Epic Fusion of Hip-Hop and Cinematic Sound

With n=40 now released, Jairic reveals just how far a self-driven vision can travel. Born in Detroit and now creating from Cannes, he was shaped by a family steeped in music and began producing hip-hop for local acts before forging a sound that fuses raw storytelling with the grandeur of vintage rock, classic funk, and cinematic scores. His latest work has drawn early praise from Wonderland Magazine, NOTION, CLASH Magazine, EARMILK, and NPR stations, while his live shows have lit up venues like Château Les Alouettes, Villa Balbiano, and the Paris premiere of Azur. Nearly two million streams later, each new track sketches a world that feels both refined and deeply rooted.

Across eight tracks, n=40 finds Jairic sharpening his sonic identity. The production pulses with crisp drums and thick basslines, carving out room for lyrics that hit hard yet stay honest. At its heart is ‘Yolo 2 Yoga’, a song that erupts from jittery beats into a surge of energy. In the video, directed by Vansh Luthra, Jairic journeys through his younger selves, confronting growth head-on instead of letting it slip by unnoticed.

The song captures the EP’s broader spirit. ‘Yolo 2 Yoga’ works as its ignition point, pushing the record toward a space where resolve becomes its own kind of propulsion. Jairic had this to say: “n=40 isn’t midlife. It’s mid-war. I’ve spent my life building things that last—this album is no different. The music, the visuals, the moves—I’m making every second count.”

n=40 EP Tracklist:

1. Antagonist (Intro)
2. Mitt Rock Me
3. Yolo 2 Yoga
4. Young, Old, Short & Tall
5. Don’t Let Me Put A Track On You
6. UDK WTF I Am
7. Stick Figaro
8. Still AF Gospel

Plain Mister Smith Unleashes Loudest Single Yet: ‘Andy Warhol’ Out Now

December 2nd saw the release of ‘Andy Warhol’, the latest single from Plain Mister Smith on Amelia Recordings/Symphonic and the third taste of an album slated for spring 2026. Anyone who followed Canadian darkwave in the late ’80s and ’90s already knows him as the guitarist from Moev, one of the country’s crucial electronic acts. These days he holds down a chair as cellist in the Vancouver Philharmonic Orchestra, but the solo work under his Plain Mister Smith name is where the real shape-shifting happens. NPR Music, CLASH, Wonderland, Under The Radar, Earmilk, NOTION, METAL, and a growing list of others have all backed the project hard, drawn to the way he flips between introspective folk and full-on psych-rock without ever sounding forced.

The new track is pure electric charge. Leeroy Stagger delivers the lead vocal with a rasp that makes every line feel like a barstool confession, while Krystle Dos Santos answers back with soul-drenched harmonies that float above the fray. Hooky guitar riffs slice through a rhythm section that locks in and pushes forward, nodding at the open-road shimmer of War on Drugs and the loose genius of Pavement while staying unmistakably his own. The lyrics dissect that gap between projected cool and inner wreckage, classic Plain Mister Smith territory, only this time wrapped in amps turned to eight.

Plain Mister Smith revealed: “I met Andy Warhol many years ago at the New Music Seminar in New York. He was pretty chill and serene or seemed that way. He was quoted to have said “So What this, So What that”? which is about the most Zen thing you could ever say. ‘Andy Warhol’ the song, is about trying to be super Soto Zen, trying to be cool and so nothing phases you but really, you’re just a chaotic mess of a human, no matter what you do…….”

Watch Jairic Go Full Duality in ‘Young, Old, Short & Tall’ Video

Out now via Rich Air Music, Jairic‘s ‘Young, Old, Short & Tall‘ lands as the hard-hitting closer before his n = 40 EP hits December 5. The Detroit-raised, Cannes-based artist stays fully self-reliant—writing, rapping, and producing everything himself—which has stacked almost 2 million streams and earned props from Wonderland Magazine, NOTION, CLASH Magazine, EARMILK, and airplay on NPR Music. His palette mixes Nas-level wordplay and Wu-Tang density with Detroit rawness, funk grooves, ’60s rock punch, and moody film-score vibes, making him a natural pull for anyone locked into 21 Savage, Young Thug, Playboi Carti, or A$AP Mob territory.

Sonically, it grabs you quick with an earworm refrain, then Jairic’s precise, high-energy bars ride a beat that opens sharp and energetic before the distortion creeps in heavier, adding that chaotic swell under the finesse.

Watch ‘Young, Old, Short & Tall’:

The Bastien Leblanc-directed video steals the show though—Jairic owns a massive, extravagant mansion, dancing fluidly and firing off witty bars in opulent rooms that drip wealth. That polished excess slams against the track’s gritty core, visually mapping his journey from underground Detroit to European high society; the contrast feels intentional and loaded, every shot reinforcing the tension between street roots and current elevation in a way that elevates the whole release.

Jairic shared: “There are so many beautiful people in the world—and then there’s a ton of hate and doubt. Be strong. Keep forging and let the fire burn inside. There are a thousand reasons to stop—forget them.“
