‘WHERE U R (angel with no feathers)’ Showcases FiFi Zhang’s Hyperpop Evolution

FiFi Zhang, the Shanghai-to-New York electronic music force, launched her new single ‘WHERE U R (angel with no feathers)’ on June 25, 2025, via her own Liquid Pearl imprint. She’s a one-woman powerhouse—producer, singer-songwriter, DJ, visual artist, and music engineer rolled into one. After her 2023 EP So Beautiful So Lonely turned heads and racked up over 2 million streams for its lead track, FiFi’s been a fixture at festivals like Head In The Clouds across continents and a staple in New York’s underground at venues like Elsewhere. Her latest drop cements her as a game-changer in the scene.

The track itself, ‘WHERE U R (angel with no feathers)’, is a hyperpop stunner—think crisp, quirky sound design layered with vocals that feel like they’re floating through a dream. “‘WHERE U R (angel with no feathers)’ is my 1999 apocalyptic dream – filled with fragile emotions and escapist sentiments,” FiFi explains, and it shows. She pulls from Drum ‘n’ Bass, UK Garage, and House, twisting them into a sound that’s equal parts vulnerable and expansive, perfect for late-night listens or cutting loose on the dancefloor.

Set to drop on June 27, the visualiser is where FiFi Zhang really flexes her creative muscle. Picture her suspended in a futuristic glow, draped in avant-garde threads by Rick Owens, Ann Demeulemeester, PerceptionF, and Sisio, with LED angel wings minus the feathers stealing the show. It’s not just a video—it’s a statement, tying her music to a visual narrative that’s as striking as her sound. FiFi’s proving she’s here to push boundaries, one beat and one frame at a time.

Pinwheel Valley’s ‘Werewolf’ Video Drops: A Raw Cry from the Margins

Pinwheel Valley unleashed their latest single, ‘Werewolf’, alongside a gripping music video on June 18th via Hot Soap Records. The band, spearheaded by Jordanian-Canadian frontman Qais Khoury, has stacked up over 2 million streams and landed spots in CLASH Magazine, NOTION, Earmilk, and Billboard Argentina, with airplay on BBC Radio London and BBC Radio Sheffield. Their track ‘Your Superman’ climbed to No. 13 on the US iTunes Alternative Chart, while videos for ‘Willow’ and ‘Abduction’ nabbed Best Music Video awards at the New York Film Awards and Vegas Movie Awards. This year, they inked a deal with Levantine Music for their EP Reverie, earned a Finalist nod in the International Acoustic Music Awards for ‘Counting On You’, and brought their live energy to stages like Fengaros Festival and Indie Week Toronto. Fusing Indie Soul, Alt-Rock, and Folktronica, Pinwheel Valley is cementing their place as a standout act in the alternative world.

The video for ‘Werewolf’ marks a bold step into AI-generated visuals, a move that hands artists like Qais Khoury the reins to their creative vision. Layered with stark piano and shimmering guitar textures, the track carries an emotional heft that mirrors the societal outcast Khoury channels in his lyrics. It’s a tool of empowerment, letting independent voices sidestep industry gatekeepers and shape their narratives—tying directly into the song’s theme of wrestling with neglect and inner turmoil. This leap into AI tech underscores Pinwheel Valley’s knack for blending innovation with raw, human storytelling, resonating with anyone who’s felt sidelined by the system.

‘Werewolf’ kicks off with brooding piano and fragile guitar lines, cradling Qais Khoury’s voice as it cuts deep. The song simmers into a slow-build glow, erupting in a chorus of sweeping melodies that ache with urgency. Think early 2000s Coldplay’s cinematic sweep, but spiked with a restless edge—an anthem for battling personal shadows. Khoury shared: “‘Werewolf’ is the closest thing I ever wrote to a Coldplay song. If you like early 2000s Coldplay albums, this single is right up your alley. ‘Werewolf‘ is about the average working-class man who feels like an outcast in society—a man who has developed an inescapable, uncontrollable urge to turn violent and destructive, much like a werewolf. This transformation is fueled by the ongoing neglect and mistreatment from those who have the power to help but choose not to. As a result, he’s caught in a constant struggle between the good and evil within himself.’

biskuwi and I’MMORTAL Team Up for Mesmerizing Melodic Techno Remix and Video

I’MMORTAL, the New York-born, London-based artist who stormed onto the scene with her 2023 debut single ‘Versace Spaceship’, has dropped a striking new music video for biskuwi’s Melodic Techno remix of her track ‘KILLED U IN A DREAM’. In just over a year, she’s unleashed five more singles, racked up over 250,000 Spotify streams, and earned nods from heavyweights like DJ Mag Spain, CLASH Magazine, and Wonderland Magazine. Teaming up with Stockholm’s biskuwi—a name backed by techno titans like Richie Hawtin and Solomun—this release marks another bold step in her journey as a visual artist, producer, and creative director.

This music video isn’t just a backdrop to the track; it’s a full-on celebration of performance as the beating heart of I’MMORTAL’s artistry. Here, she unveils her new persona, Madame Blue, a burlesque-inspired butterfly who commands the screen with every move. The visuals—laced with glitchy cuts and glowing orbs—pulse with energy as I’MMORTAL dances, her blue two-piece and silver Pleasers giving way to a stunning butterfly costume. Performance isn’t just decoration here; it’s the spark that ignites her evolution, turning the dark pop roots of the original track into something raw, liberated, and alive. It’s a middle finger to stillness, a reminder that movement can rewrite who you are.

In her own words, I’MMORTAL captures the soul of this project: “This visualizer is a dance performance video that represents my artistic metamorphosis, and the birth of a new artistic persona: Madame Blue. Madame Blue is a burlesque-inspired butterfly who emerged out of a cage and grew her wings through the power of dance. She expresses the power of femininity through movement, and ultimately represents my rediscovery for my love of performance.” That quote isn’t just a tagline—it’s the blueprint for the video. Performance becomes her rebellion, her rebirth, and her way of reclaiming a love she’d buried. With biskuwi’s remix driving the sound and Madame Blue stealing the spotlight, this release is I’MMORTAL shouting to the world: she’s not just back, she’s unstoppable.

Transcultural Artist Munsha Confronts Societal Pressures in THE FALL OF THE ASTRONAUTS

Munsha’s 10th studio album, THE FALL OF THE ASTRONAUTS, marks a significant step in her career, combining her skills as a composer and performer with a full-scale music theatre production. Behind the name Munsha is Daniela Lunelli, an artist with roots in both classical music and the punk DIY scene. Now working out of Berlin, she has built a reputation for crossing cultural and musical boundaries, performing all vocals and instrumentation herself in English and German for this release.

Watch here:

The album is directly linked to Alices Geschwister, a theatre piece that reworks Alice in Wonderland into a narrative set in a mental institution, tackling themes of compulsory psychiatric treatment. Spanning 14 tracks, THE FALL OF THE ASTRONAUTS was developed alongside the script, ensuring the music aligns with the story’s exploration of identity and societal pressures. This dual creation process highlights Munsha’s ability to integrate sound with narrative, offering a cohesive experience across both mediums.

In terms of sound, the album draws from a wide range of styles, incorporating elements like cello melodies, orchestral arrangements, and electronic textures. Munsha cites influences from artists such as Goldfrapp, Ryūichi Sakamoto, Klaus Nomi, and filmmaker David Lynch, which show up in the album’s cinematic quality and varied production. The result is a project that resists easy categorization, reflecting her aim to capture human diversity through music. For Munsha, THE FALL OF THE ASTRONAUTS is both a standalone work and a key component of a broader artistic statement, demonstrating her range and commitment to pushing creative limits.
