Emerging pop artist Molly Stone returns with her latest single, “I Got You”, a playful and heartfelt tribute to friendship, loyalty, and the unfiltered joy of chosen family. Known for her signature blend of vulnerability and wit, described as “sweet voice, sharp tongue, unapologetically Molly”, Stone continues to carve out a distinctive space in contemporary pop, where emotional honesty meets sharp lyrical edge.
Her music has previously been recognised for balancing “sweetness and sass… distinctly her own,” as noted by Earmilk, a quality that is once again on full display in “I Got You”. The track leans into upbeat pop energy while holding space for sincerity, celebrating the “unhinged, crazy moments” shared between best friends, not just companions, but “partners in crime.”
Written during a session with writer Maddox Jones and producer/writer Dave Crawford of Plastic Tree Studios, the single came from Stone’s desire to honour the women in her life who have had a profound emotional impact on her.
“I wanted to write a love song for my best friends,” Stone explains. “My female friendships have been so amazing and impactful for me, and I just realised how special they really are. This song is my way of celebrating that — it’s fun, silly, and full of all the moments that make those relationships what they are.”
“I Got You” sits comfortably alongside influences and comparable artists such as Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter, Lily Allen, and Chappell Roan, while maintaining Stone’s unmistakable voice and perspective.
With its blend of humour, heart, and high-energy pop production, “I Got You” reinforces Molly Stone’s growing reputation as an artist who turns personal truth into universally relatable anthems; sharp, sincere, and unapologetically herself.

Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter ZK Jade continues to carve out her place in alternative pop with the release of her newest single, Good Lover; a moody, emotionally charged track exploring intimacy without attachment, attraction without vulnerability, and the blurred emotional lines of modern dating culture.
Blending cinematic dark pop production, sleek pop-R&B influences, and emotionally raw storytelling, Good Lover showcases ZK Jade’s signature ability to turn personal observation into deeply relatable songwriting. Written and co-produced alongside longtime creative collaborator and producer HILLOC, the track captures the internal conflict of falling for someone whose intimacy feels real, even when their emotional distance says otherwise.
“The song was inspired by watching people around me navigate relationships in today’s dating scene,” says ZK Jade. “It’s about the confusion of emotional closeness without true connection; when someone can move effortlessly from person to person while still making you feel special in the moment.”
Originally from a multicultural background rooted in Italian, Swiss, Eurasian, and British influences, ZK Jade’s upbringing across Europe and the United States has heavily shaped both her worldview and artistic identity. After spending much of her early life in Switzerland, she moved to Boston to pursue music professionally, where she met producer HILLOC during college. The two have spent years developing a sound that merges pop songwriting with darker sonic textures, cinematic production, disco-pop energy, and emotionally layered lyricism.
Following college, ZK Jade relocated to Atlanta for an internship opportunity that exposed her to both the creative opportunities and harsher realities of the music industry. Experiences involving manipulation, power dynamics, and unhealthy industry environments later became central themes in her songwriting. A subsequent move to Los Angeles marked another major turning point creatively and personally.
“LA pushed me into becoming more honest in my music,” she explains. “It made me less afraid to explore femininity, attraction, confidence, vulnerability, and identity in a very direct way.”
Those themes continue throughout her recent releases, which reflect sharp emotional awareness, candid storytelling, and a fearless approach to modern relationships and self-discovery. Drawing inspiration from artists like Tate McRae, Billie Eilish, and Dua Lipa, ZK Jade’s music lives at the intersection of Y2K-inspired pop, dark pop, alternative pop, disco pop, and Pop-R&B.
Alongside building her own artist project independently, ZK Jade has also established herself as a respected songwriter, collaborating on music for artists including R&B singer Sammie, Eurovision participant Lindita, and influencer and artist Soma Chaya.
Outside of music, ZK Jade values maintaining a grounded lifestyle, often finding inspiration through everyday experiences, dance classes, cooking, and observing human relationships in real life.
With Good Lover, ZK Jade continues to evolve into one of alternative pop’s most emotionally perceptive emerging voices; unafraid to explore the uncomfortable spaces between desire, vulnerability, power, and emotional self-protection.

After spending years writing songs largely shared only with family and close friends, Brian Elodi is finally opening the door to a much wider audience with the release of his debut full-length album.
The 13-track collection began as something deeply personal. Following the birth of his daughter, Brian Elodi decided to record and preserve a selection of songs he had accumulated over many years; a musical time capsule of sorts, created with the hope that she would always have something of her father’s to listen to.
What started as a modest recording project quickly evolved into something much more ambitious after he met Washington, D.C.-based studio owner, producer, and musician Ben. Their creative partnership transformed what was initially envisioned as a simple collection of demos into a richly layered album that blends intimate songwriting with thoughtful production and intriguing arrangements.
Drawing inspiration from artists such as Bon Iver, Iron and Wine, and The Lumineers, the album sits comfortably within the singer-songwriter and indie folk traditions while maintaining its own distinct voice. The songs are populated by exaggerated fictional characters and narratives that explore very real emotions; an approach Brian Elodi has embraced throughout nearly three decades of writing music.
Having spent his earlier years playing heavier music, he eventually found his way to acoustic guitars, understated arrangements, and a more conversational vocal style. The result is a record that feels lived-in, reflective, and unpretentious; one that values honesty over perfection and storytelling over spectacle.
Adding another personal touch to the project, the album artwork was painted and designed by his wife.
“My three-year-old daughter thinks I’m famous because that’s what I told her,” Brian Elodi jokes. “She sings the songs better than I do.”
Now, after years of creating music largely outside the public eye, Brian Elodi is sharing these songs with listeners for the first time.

For fans of Bon Iver, Iron and Wine, and The Lumineers, and thoughtful indie folk songwriting, this debut offers a collection of songs shaped by time, family, and the belief that some stories are worth preserving.
Following radio support from ABC Country Australia, ABC Radio, Triple J, and Radio Australia, Noble continues her breakthrough country-folk journey.
Dutch singer-songwriter Noble is entering an exciting new chapter in her career with the release of her latest single, “Ugly Heart,” an empowering and upbeat country anthem that showcases a bold new side of her artistry.
Born and raised in the Netherlands, Noble’s connection to music began long before she could explain it. Drawn to storytelling through song from an incredibly young age, she first stepped into the spotlight as a teenager when she reached the semi-finals of The Voice Kids Belgium. Since then, she has continued to develop her craft as both a songwriter and performer, steadily carving out her own unique artistic identity.
In 2022, Noble released her debut cinematic pop-rock album, Silence, featuring standout tracks “All I Wanted” and “Creeping,” which have accumulated more than 800,000 combined streams. As her songwriting evolved, she shifted toward a folk-pop sound with her EP True Calling, a deeply personal project that ultimately became the catalyst for discovering her true musical home in country and folk music.
On May 8, Noble introduced audiences to this new direction with “chasing space,” a dreamy country-folk single that served as the bridge into her evolving sound. The release received warm support from media outlets including Triple J, Lefuture Wave, Caesar Live N Loud.
Now, Noble follows that momentum with “Ugly Heart,” a spirited and unapologetic anthem about self-respect, boundaries, and rejecting superficiality.
“When I went into the studio with my producer Paul Aiden, we started with a blank canvas as we usually do,” says Noble. “I wanted to create something more upbeat and empowering. Paul started playing a guitar riff that I instantly loved, and before we knew it, we had the foundation of the song. While improvising melodies and lyrics, I found myself writing about setting boundaries and calling out people who value status and material things over genuine connection.”
Inspired in part by Louis Theroux’s documentary The Manosphere, “Ugly Heart” takes aim at toxic attitudes and the growing culture of performative masculinity.
“It’s a song that tells certain men that women aren’t interested in them because of money or power,” Noble explains. “Real connection comes from authenticity, empathy, and emotional depth. ‘Ugly Heart’ is about recognizing when someone lacks those qualities and walking away.”
Originally scheduled for release on June 12, the single’s launch was moved forward after an unexpected radio debut on ABC Country Australia on May 25. The decision quickly proved worthwhile, as “Ugly Heart” received additional support from ABC Radio, Triple J, and Radio Australia on May 30. Just days later, on June 1, Noble’s previous single “chasing space” also made its Triple J radio debut.
The transition into country music has been years in the making.
“When I made True Calling, I was searching for who I was both as a person and as an artist,” Noble reflects. “At the time, I thought I had found myself, but I was really just beginning the journey. Looking back now, I realize that project was helping me discover my true identity.”
The turning point came unexpectedly during a snowy Sunday afternoon in the Netherlands, when Noble wrote her first country song.
“I completely fell in love with it,” she says. “After that, I told my producer I wanted to explore country music. I started listening to artists like Kacey Musgraves, Shania Twain, and Ella Langley, and it felt like an entirely new world opened up. For the first time, I feel completely aligned with who I am and the music I love creating.”
With “chasing space” and “Ugly Heart,” Noble is establishing herself as a fresh new voice in contemporary country-folk, combining heartfelt storytelling, emotional honesty, and modern country influences into a sound that feels both authentic and exciting.
ARTIST BIO Noble is a Dutch singer-songwriter whose passion for storytelling through music has shaped her artistic journey from an early age. Following her semi-final run on The Voice Kids Belgium, she developed a distinctive songwriting voice that led to the release of her debut album Silence and later the folk-pop EP True Calling. Now embracing country-folk music, Noble is entering a new era defined by authenticity, powerful storytelling, and a deep connection to the music she was always meant to create.
A powerful celebration of self-reclamation, queer identity, feminine rage, healing, and empowerment through the immersive world of shamanic pop.
Swiss queer singer-songwriter Mané announces the release of her highly anticipated second project, The Goddess in the Room, arriving June 2, 2026, via Livana Music. Blending haunting electronic pop with ritualistic shamanic elements, the nine-track album invites listeners on a transformative journey of self-discovery, healing, and radical empowerment.
Following years of artistic evolution, personal transformation, and a growing reputation as one of Switzerland’s most distinctive emerging voices, Mané has crafted an album that feels both deeply intimate and universally resonant. Drawing inspiration from artists such as AURORA, Eivør, Billie Eilish, Kiki Rockwell, and Roniit, The Goddess in the Room introduces a sound she defines as “shamanic pop”—a genre where atmospheric electronic production meets ancestral rhythms, intuitive songwriting, and the grounding pulse of the shamanic drum.
“At its heart, this album is about remembering who we are beneath the conditioning, the fear, and the expectations placed upon us,” says Mané. “It’s about reclaiming our bodies, our voices, our intuition, our identities, and our power. The Goddess is not someone we need to become—she is someone we have always been.”
Across nine powerful tracks, The Goddess in the Room follows the symbolic journey of The Goddess as she awakens to her own strength. Along the way, she reclaims her body and her rights, embraces her queerness, confronts inherited trauma, honors her ancestors, and dismantles the systems that seek to silence her. Ultimately, she discovers that the validation and power she sought externally had been within her all along.
The album explores themes that have become central to Mané’s artistic identity, including bodily autonomy, feminism, LGBTQ+ rights, mental health, ancestral healing, spirituality, and self-acceptance. It balances moments of fierce resistance with celebration, sensuality, vulnerability, and joy.
While Mané first emerged through a more conventional pop sound, several periods of burnout prompted a profound reassessment of her relationship with music and mental health. During this time, she discovered the shamanic drum, an instrument that would fundamentally reshape her creative process and artistic vision.
The result is a sonic universe where emotionally charged vocals intertwine with atmospheric synths, ritualistic percussion, and intuitive soundscapes. Each release within the project extends beyond music alone, becoming part of a larger immersive world of visuals, symbolism, ceremony, and community-centered experiences.
“Everything I create is designed to help people reconnect with what feels sacred within themselves,” Mané explains. “I want listeners to feel seen, heard, loved, and empowered—to celebrate their uniqueness, trust their intuition, and remember their own inner wisdom.”
Since 2014, Mané has performed extensively throughout Switzerland and internationally, appearing at renowned venues and festivals including Montreux Jazz Festival, Southbank Centre (London), Hotel Café (Los Angeles), and Threshold Festival (Liverpool). She has shared stages across Europe during a tour with Marzella, with performances in Paris, Berlin, and Amsterdam.
Her debut EP, Before the Storm, was fully crowdfunded by her audience and produced by Meya Music, whose credits include Slimane and Florent Pagny. The release received significant radio support across French-speaking Switzerland, earning airplay on Option Musique, LFM, One FM, Rhône FM, and Radio Swiss Pop. It also secured Mané a place among the Top 15 finalists of the prestigious Demotape Clinic at m4music.
Additional career milestones include serving as the lead voice of Coop Switzerland’s nationwide Christmas campaign, being shortlisted among finalists for Switzerland’s Eurovision Song Contest selection, releasing the mental health-focused single High On Flowers, launching a companion podcast supporting womxn artists, and performing once again at Montreux Jazz Festival in 2024.
In 2025, Mané signed with Zurich-based label Livana Music and was selected for Proxima, the artist development program at Les Docks.
To celebrate the release of The Goddess in the Room, Mané will perform special launch concerts at:
June 3, 2026 — Les Docks, Lausanne, Switzerland June 5, 2026 — The Waiting Room, London, United Kingdom
Performing alongside HEMU Lausanne graduates Gwen Buord (electronic drums) and Mathieu Nuzzo (keyboards), Mané’s live show combines electronic pop performance with ritualistic shamanic drum elements, creating an immersive experience that is both emotionally powerful and deeply personal.

Norwegian alt-pop artist MIIA steps into a striking new chapter with her latest single, “Necessary Evil,” a dark, emotionally charged track that merges her cinematic vocal identity with a fresh, club-driven electronic sound. Known for her raw, haunting voice and deeply introspective songwriting, MIIA now channels that intensity into the late-night pulse of a dance-pop / UK garage crossover, with speed garage, and bassline.
Produced by Joachim Rygg (JR), the same collaborator behind her global breakout hit “Dynasty”, and mixed by legendary engineer Spike Stent, “Necessary Evil” captures the tension between vulnerability and strength, desire and self-respect. Built on skittering 2-step drums, punchy sub-bass, airy pads, and bright chopped vocal textures, the track is both euphoric and emotionally unfiltered.
Lyrically, “Necessary Evil” explores the courage it takes to choose honesty over comfort. It speaks to those pivotal moments where the right decision feels difficult, misunderstood, or even painful, but ultimately necessary for growth. It’s a song rooted in emotional truth, set against the hypnotic energy of the club.
The release marks a significant evolution for MIIA, bridging her atmospheric pop roots with a more uptempo, dancefloor-oriented sound. While her music has long resonated for its emotional depth, “Necessary Evil” introduces a new dimension, one designed for late-night playlists, dance radio, and immersive live experiences.
MIIA first rose to international prominence at just 17 years old with her debut single “Dynasty.” Premiering on Billboard in 2016, the track quickly gained global traction, landing on Spotify’s New Music Friday and climbing to #2 on the United States Viral 50 chart. Within 23 days, it surpassed one million streams, and nearly a decade later, it continues to resonate with audiences worldwide, now averaging approximately 200,000 daily streams and surpassing 300 million total plays.
Over the past two years, MIIA has been crafting her highly anticipated debut album, “Huldra,” set for release in Summer 2026. Named after the mystical forest spirit from Scandinavian folklore, the album draws on themes of self-love, freedom, and the shedding of shame. It invites listeners, especially women, to embrace complexity, emotional depth, and imperfection, celebrating what it means to feel deeply and live unapologetically.
At the heart of MIIA’s artistry is her close relationship with her audience, whom she calls her “Beautiful Creatures.” Through daily interactions across social media, livestreams, and direct messages, she has cultivated a deeply connected community, one that embraces duality, vulnerability, and authenticity. Her artistic universe is a safe, inclusive space where contradictions coexist and emotional honesty is encouraged.
“‘Necessary Evil’ feels like a defining moment for MIIA; it’s where her emotional depth collides with a bold, club-ready sound. It’s honest, it’s vulnerable, and it marks the start of a powerful new chapter in her artistry,” shares music publicist Danielle Holian, Decent Music PR.
With “Necessary Evil,” MIIA signals not only a sonic shift but the beginning of a powerful new era, one that expands her sound while staying rooted in the emotional core that first captivated listeners around the world.

A genre-blending collection inspired by rock and roll legends, personal reflection, and the inevitability of transformation
Singer-songwriter Katie Dauson proudly announces the release of her eighth studio album, Change, a vibrant and eclectic collection of songs that explores transformation, self-reflection, love, and the power of embracing life’s uncertainties.
Hailing from Richmond Hill, Ontario, Katie Dauson has built a dynamic career as an independent artist whose music has been featured in notable publications including Earmilk, Tinnitist, and Sonic Sisters Magazine. A familiar presence throughout Toronto’s music scene, Dauson has performed at notable venues while carving out a path that emphasizes artistic sophistication and musical growth beyond traditional pub culture.
Produced and engineered once again by longtime collaborator James Nickle, Change showcases Dauson’s evolving artistry through an inspired blend of pop, rockabilly, classic rock and roll, folk influences, and heartfelt balladry.
“This whole album is about change, and being able to accept and deal with the consequences of all the changes around us,” says Dauson.
The album opens with its title track, “Change,” a song that transformed alongside Dauson’s own creative process. Initially conceived as an acoustic folk piece, the track evolved into a pop and synth-inspired anthem that ultimately became both the album’s title track and opening statement.
Throughout Change, Dauson draws inspiration from an impressive range of musical influences and vinyl discoveries. “You Say You Want Me” channels modern rockabilly energy inspired by Blondie’s Parallel Lines, while “Life in a Day Dream” blends 1960s-style rock and roll with influences from The Lovin’ Spoonful and Hall & Oates, inspired in part by Hall & Oates’ “You Make My Dreams Come True.”
Dauson’s love for classic instrumentation shines on “Saxophone Fever Blues,” a tribute to the expressive power of saxophone-driven rock and roll inspired by Fats Domino and his legendary live performances. Meanwhile, “We Could Go Dancing,” written during a late-night bout of insomnia, delivers a heartfelt rock ballad influenced by Bob Seger’s Against the Wind.
The album continues its stylistic journey with “Sing the Blues Away,” an uplifting sing-along inspired by The Marshall Tucker Band, and “Ballad of Medusa and Olivar,” a reworked and deeply personal song shaped by the songwriting traditions of Bob Dylan and Electric Light Orchestra, centered on themes of love and redemption.
On “I’m Feelin’ Groovy,” Dauson embraces the spirit of 1960s rock and roll with a celebration of music and joy, while “Lay Me Down” offers an intimate acoustic love ballad born from a moment of emotional vulnerability and inspired by classic Beatles songwriting.
Closing the album is “Mamma Bear Shuffle,” a playful, Dylan-inspired finale sparked by Blonde on Blonde and designed to leave listeners on an energetic and unexpected high note.
With Change, Katie Dauson continues to push her creative boundaries while staying rooted in the timeless musical influences that shape her sound. The result is an album that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly personal; an honest reflection on change itself and the resilience required to navigate it.

French singer-songwriter Sylvain Zebo returns with his latest single, “Test,” a sophisticated and atmospheric track that merges French Pop and Pop Rock influences with introspective lyricism and cinematic textures.
Drawing comparisons to iconic French artists such as Alain Bashung, Marc Lavoine, and Etienne Daho, “Test” showcases Zebo’s signature fusion of poetic songwriting, emotional nuance, and refined production.
Built around shimmering synths and a hypnotic chorus guitar riff, “Test” evolved organically during the creative process. “I composed the synth parts with the piano, but it was when I found the guitar riff for the chorus that everything became fluid and ethereal,” explains Zebo. “The lyrics were added later, reflecting on the ups and downs of life, passions, feelings, and love, along with our often dehumanized experiences.”
Entirely self-produced, the single highlights Sylvain Zebo’s multifaceted artistry. He serves as producer, songwriter, arranger, and sound engineer, crafting a deeply personal soundscape that feels both intimate and expansive.
Sylvain Zebo is a singer-songwriter rooted in the tradition of French lyric-driven chanson. Martinican by heritage, he was born in Madagascar before growing up in Lescar near Pau in the south of France. Inspired in his youth by Neil Young and Georges Brassens, he learned guitar and went on to perform in various rock and blues bands while developing his own songwriting voice.
After moving to Paris, he fully committed himself to music, studying singing and piano while performing live with guitar and vocals. His debut album, “Consacre Moi,” was recorded near Cincinnati in 2010 with acclaimed American musicians and financed through the pioneering fan-supported platform Sellaband.
Over the years, Zebo has continued to evolve artistically while maintaining full creative independence. His albums “Masque” (2013), “Longitudinal” (2016), “Fortunes” (2019), and “Enveloppe” (2023) have explored acoustic songwriting, sophisticated pop textures, and emotionally charged atmospheres. Since 2018, he has also performed regularly in Montreal alongside renowned Canadian musicians.
With “Test,” Sylvain Zebo once again delivers a song that is both elegant and emotionally resonant — a modern French pop statement balancing vulnerability, melody, and sonic sophistication.
“Test” is available now on all streaming platforms.

Intimate songwriting, evocative storytelling and growing streaming success position Jonah as a compelling new voice in contemporary UK folk music.
With a growing catalogue of heartfelt songs and an expanding audience, eighteen year old, UK singer-songwriter Jonah Connock is emerging as one of the most promising new voices in the modern folk landscape. His debut album, I Kept Your Secret, Saoirse, has already garnered almost 11,000 streams and attracted more than 2,400 monthly listeners on Spotify, reflecting a growing connection with audiences drawn to honest, emotionally resonant songwriting.
Blending introspective lyricism with contemporary indie textures, Jonah’s music explores themes of connection, loss, resilience and hope. His songs are built around expressive guitar work, understated arrangements and a vocal delivery that favours nuance over volume, creating an intimate listening experience where storytelling takes centre stage.
“With a voice that invites you closer and warm, expressive guitar work, Jonah’s songs unfold with a quiet confidence, blending reflective storytelling with melodies that feel both intimate and timeless.”
In live performance, Jonah creates an atmosphere where songs are allowed to breathe, drawing audiences into carefully crafted narratives through stripped-back arrangements and deeply personal songwriting.
The album marks a significant milestone in Jonah’s artistic journey, bringing together eight carefully crafted tracks that trace his development as a songwriter while capturing the emotional depth that has become his signature.
Tracklist
Letter to You
Bones
Black Dress
Tongue-Tied
Fly Away
I Hope That I Don’t Fall in Love with You
Half-Awake
Clandestine
Reflecting on the release, Jonah says, “It’s a surreal feeling to be releasing music and announcing my first studio album. Writing and recording involves a lot of hard work. There are days when you don’t think the song is ever going to take shape or your voice just can’t make the notes. My notebooks are full of half-written lyrics and ideas that may never make it off the page. Working with Adam and Lawrence Purnell to produce the album was amazing – heading into the studio, I thought my songs were finished, but every session bought learning and laughter – and their ideas really helped elevate the songs. I hope you love listening as much as I loved making the album.”
The collection opens with “Letter to You,” the first song Jonah ever wrote, born from a challenge set by his guitar teacher and ultimately becoming the catalyst for the album itself. Across the record, listeners encounter deeply personal reflections, from the poignant vulnerability of “Bones” to the atmospheric storytelling of “Black Dress” and the confessional intimacy of “Half-Awake.”
The influence of Cornwall’s dramatic coastline runs throughout the album, with its shifting tides, storms and seascapes informing both imagery and mood. These settings provide a backdrop for songs that balance melancholy and hope, creating a body of work that feels both personal and universally relatable.
The album closes with “Clandestine,” a song Jonah describes as being about “time passed and the feeling of perpetual possibility”, a fitting conclusion to a debut that looks back with reflection while firmly setting its sights on the future.
As I Kept Your Secret, Saoirse continues to find new listeners, Jonah Connock is establishing himself as an artist whose understated approach and emotional honesty offer a refreshing perspective within contemporary folk music.

Danish producer FAVNA returns with his latest single, “Not A Dream,” a deeply emotive and immersive entry into the world of dreamy progressive house. Known for crafting atmospheric soundscapes that balance introspection with subtle dancefloor energy, FAVNA continues to refine his signature sound; one rooted in warmth, texture, and emotional clarity.
“Not A Dream” was conceived over a series of warm summer nights, driven by the intention to create something immediate and emotionally direct. Inspired by the stripped-back, hook-focused approach of contemporary melodic house, the track centers around a reimagined vocal, treated not as a traditional topline, but as an instrument in itself. Carefully reshaped and harmonically refined, the vocal drifts through the track with a soft, intimate presence.
The production process began quickly, capturing an initial spark of inspiration, before evolving through detailed refinement. The result is a track that preserves its original feeling while gaining depth and nuance, sitting delicately between nostalgia and clarity. Every element revolves around a singular emotional core, allowing listeners to experience both stillness and movement within the same sonic space.
FAVNA’s music has steadily gained recognition within the melodic and progressive house scene, earning support from respected artists and platforms. His releases have been featured on internationally renowned radio shows and have accumulated over 700,000 streams across platforms. With a sound that blends warm analog textures, subtle dub influences, and melancholic undertones, FAVNA continues to carve out a distinct identity; one that exists somewhere between late-night solitude and understated club moments.
Beyond production, FAVNA maintains a cohesive artistic vision, pairing his sonic output with a consistent visual identity inspired by nature, nighttime atmospheres, and introspective moods. He is also the curator behind the “Dream Circuit” playlist series, spotlighting emerging and established artists within the melodic and progressive electronic space.
With “Not A Dream,” FAVNA invites listeners into a space where emotion leads and sound follows; an understated yet powerful addition to the evolving landscape of melodic electronic music.
