LYVIA's Honey, I'm Home!

Nottingham-born soul-pop artist LYVIA returns with her highly anticipated mixtape Honey, I’m Home!, a fearless and deeply personal collection that showcases her evolution as one of the UK’s most exciting new voices. Blending raw vulnerability with playful confidence, the 11-track project features fan favorites like “Trippin” and “Flight With My Ex” alongside new standouts including the empowering lead single “Monday2Sunday,” a breezy R&B celebration of women in all their forms. With its mix of tender confessionals and bold pop experimentation, Honey, I’m Home! captures LYVIA’s signature blend of spoken-word storytelling and soul-drenched melodies. The release follows her sold-out UK headline tour and a standout summer on major festival stages.

Bella Litsa's "Passion Plug"

Brooklyn-based artist Bella Litsa has announced her debut album Drasticism, arriving February 20 via Records Man, Records, alongside the release of her sweeping new single “Passion Plug.” The track, driven by lush instrumentation and Litsa’s haunting, operatic vocals, captures the feverish rush of longing and the impossibility of letting go. Its accompanying music video, directed by Fiona Kane and choreographed by Anna Wittenberg, intertwines Litsa’s passion for dance with striking visual storytelling inspired by Bob Fosse and Martha Graham. With early praise from Ones To Watch and Mindies, Litsa continues to establish herself as one of New York’s most intriguing new voices, blending baroque pop, dreamlike Americana, and cinematic intensity. “Passion Plug” offers a stunning preview of Drasticism’s emotional depth — a record that promises to explore the beauty and chaos of living life, and love, drastically.

Blondshell's "Arms" (feat. Gigi Perez)

Blondshell has shared her new single “Arms (feat. Gigi Perez)”, the first offering from her forthcoming companion album Another Picture, out November 14 via Partisan. A tender reimagining of one of her most powerful tracks from If You Asked For A Picture, the new version replaces sludgy guitars with warm acoustics, allowing Blondshell and Perez’s intertwined harmonies to shine. Their vocals — at once fragile and fierce — transform the song’s exploration of emotional labor and power dynamics into something newly intimate. The release arrives alongside the announcement of Another Picture, which will feature new Blondshell material, live versions, and reinterpretations by artists including Conor Oberst, Samia, Folk Bitch Trio, and John Glacier. Following a summer of sold-out shows across the U.S. and Europe, Blondshell will return to the road this November before making her Coachella debut and heading to Australia in 2026.

Kali Uchis' Sincerely: P.S.

Kali Uchis has unveiled Sincerely: P.S., the deluxe edition of her acclaimed fifth studio album Sincerely, out now via Capitol Records. The expanded project adds five new songs to her most personal record yet, including the ethereal new single “Pretty Promises” featuring Mariah The Scientist. The release follows the grand finale of Uchis’ sold-out Sincerely,arena tour, which included performances at the Intuit Dome, Madison Square Garden, and the Kia Forum, with surprise guests like SZA, Tyler, The Creator, Peso Pluma, and Steve Lacy. The deluxe arrives after Uchis’ emotional Tonight Showperformance of “Cry about it!” featuring Ravyn Lenae — one of two new duets exclusive to Sincerely: P.S. — and continues the album’s exploration of love, motherhood, and self-healing. Executive-produced and written by Uchis herself, the original Sincerely, debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and was praised by Rolling Stone as “a vulnerable meditation on motherhood and memory.”
