Kat explains:
"This is the first song we truly wrote as a band. Daniel and John were laying down this sick bass line/beat at practice and it really blossomed from there. It felt like a road trip song. Lyrically I tried to highlight the importance of escaping how bad the world can be by going on a trip, soaking up time with your friends, maybe ride the wave of a psychedelic to hopefully be
reminded of what's good and try to exist as an active citizen without the constant state of
doomsday. A necessary recharge."

Coming from Portsmouth, talented singer-songwriter Harvey Jay Dodgson releases his latest alt-indie track.
Having played at several shows this year including The Great Escape and the Isle of Wight Festival, Harvey is full speed ahead to reaching new heights. 'You Belong To Me' comes after his previous EP, 'Oxygen' in which he worked together with Michael Smith, known for his work with Wolf Alice and Anteros at RYP Studios.
Pulling focus at his distinct indie soundscape, 'You Belong To Me' is just Harvey and his guitar which cements the power of his music. With an emotional side to this song, we witness a love story but perhaps an unconventional one. In his own words;
“’You Belong To Me' is my ode to music. Originally written in an afternoon before a gig in an
attempt to break up the set towards the end, it captivated the audience with its acoustic vibe,
and its simplicity makes it very easy to sing along to. I loved how this song I wrote about my
feelings towards music made people interact with music itself, and therefore I decided to
record and release it for people who feel the same way. Music has been a part of my life
from the very beginning, so thank you music - you belong to me.”
In no time, we feel Harvey Jay Dodgson will be an effortless voice of a generation.

Having just played at Glastonbury 2022 and her previous track 'When It Was Chaotic' (produced by Grammy-nominated producer, Will Hicks known for working with Ed Sheeran), being played on UK Love Island. She is weaving her way through some top career highlights, whilst still only being young.
Starting to write songs from the age of 12, Emilia has a lot of personal passion for her music. 'Same For Me' is a production of perseverance, filled with blissful beats and captivating chords, Emilia's strong vocals open the track. This song is about the people who know you the most, who would do the same for you when times are low?
Emilia says; “Someone very close to my heart inspired me to write ‘Same For Me’. The song is about supporting the ones you love at their lowest moments, even by taking on the simplest of errands, and knowing that they’d do the same for you. My person has constantly done this for me, and that is something I’ll forever be grateful for.”
Emilia also dropped a music video alongside the single release. Focused on one of the first lines in the track "I wake you up with a coffee..." , we follow Emilia around several locations whilst her being centre shot with a cup of coffee. A visual representation of how far you'd go for someone who would do that for you.
Speaking on the track, Emilia mentions; "Shooting in multi-locations, we used it as a visual metaphor for the whole song. Tom director and I had a lot of fun shooting this one, although, it was definitely more technical than it looks!”
