Today, Plain Mister Smith has unleashed his new single ‘Miss Sunshine’ through Amelia Records/Symphonic. This track kicks off a series of singles paving the way for his 2026 album drop. Once the guitarist for Canadian darkwave outfit Moev, he’s also a cellist with the Vancouver Philharmonic Orchestra, bringing a layered edge to his indie-folk craft. His sound has caught the ears of heavy-hitters like CLASH Magazine, NOTION, Under The Radar, Earmilk, METAL, Noctis Mag, and Atwood Mag, marking him as a name to watch in the indie scene.

‘Miss Sunshine’ is a tight, heartfelt cut that pairs breezy guitar hooks with a solid drum groove, courtesy of John Raham, all polished up in the mix by Chris Perry. It’s got that indie-folk charm with echoes of Pixies’ raw energy, Tame Impala’s dreamy sway, Death Cab for Cutie’s quiet depth, and The Beatles’ timeless hooks. The track digs into empathy and admiration for someone being unfairly treated, with a flicker of romance in the air—delivered through Plain Mister Smith’s warm, earnest vocals.

Plain Mister Smith shared: “If you’ve ever worked with the loveliest person in the world and found them mercilessly taken advantage of by fellow workers, then you’ll know a ‘Miss Sunshine’, or you may even have a crush on her.” That line sums up the track’s soul—a light yet emotional ride that’s as relatable as it is listenable.

UK-based indie folk standout Finnegan Tui dropped his latest single, ‘Fuel on the Fire’, via Eywa Music Ltd on January 17, 2025, and it’s already making waves. With 7.7 million streams racked up across platforms and regular spins on BBC Radio 6 and BBC Introducing South West, Tui’s carved out a solid rep as a must-hear voice in the scene. He’s clocked serious miles touring Europe, backing FINK for over 30 dates and opening for acts like RY X, Cosmo Sheldrake, and Junodream. Festival slots at Secret Garden Party, Boomtown, and Shambala, plus a confirmed gig at Kernowfornia Festival this September, show he’s no stranger to big stages. Add collabs with heavy hitters like Charlie Andrew and Matt Lawrence, nods from outlets like The Guardian and CLASH Magazine, a sync in Walker Independence, and sold-out nights at Omeara, La Boule Noire, and Lark, and you’ve got an artist on a steep upward climb.

The track itself, ‘Fuel on the Fire’, is a slow-burn gem produced by Jasper Trim and mixed by Andrew Scheps. It kicks off with sparse acoustic guitar, giving Tui’s vocals, deep, raw, and brimming with soul, room to breathe. The arrangement builds steadily, layering in pulsing beats, mournful strings, and atmospheric touches before hitting a choral climax that’s got real weight, blending folk roots with a widescreen vibe.

Finnegan Tui shared: “‘Fuel On The Fire’ explores the poignant theme of no longer recognizing a loved one, yet it ultimately offers a message of redemption. It feels like a phoenix rising from the ashes, mirroring my own journey from loneliness to joy. I hope this song resonates with listeners, offering them light and strength in their own challenges.”

‘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.

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.
