Angele Lapp has released an outstanding new single titled “Toxic Boyfriend”, a heartfelt pop track that combines beautiful acoustic guitar melodies with deeply personal vocals and a polished pop production. From the very first note, the song draws listeners into an emotional journey filled with honesty, vulnerability, and unforgettable melodies.

Built around a warm acoustic foundation, “Toxic Boyfriend” showcases Angele’s expressive vocal performance as she tells the story of a complicated relationship and the emotional impact of loving someone who brings more pain than happiness. Her voice carries every emotion with sincerity, creating a powerful connection with the listener.

The production is equally impressive. The song flows effortlessly between intimate acoustic moments and sweeping orchestral arrangements. As the instrumentation expands into a full orchestral backdrop before returning to its infectious acoustic groove, the track creates a dynamic listening experience that is both moving and uplifting. The contrast between the difficult subject matter and the beautiful, soothing musical landscape makes the song even more compelling.

Although “Toxic Boyfriend” explores the reality of a toxic relationship, it is wrapped in a stunning pop sound that comforts the soul. The combination of memorable melodies, emotional storytelling, and cinematic production makes this one of Angele Lapp’s most captivating releases to date.

This hot new track is now featured on our A-List Playlist and will also receive daily airplay as a special POP POWERPLAY at 7:30 PM Pacific USA time for the next month.

Vas Michael returns with two standout new singles that highlight his flair for retro influenced pop and contemporary production finesse. The lead track Talk to Me arrives with an electronic synth 80s pulse, a driving bassline, crisp pop drums and a melody built for instant replay. The song carries echoes of Joe Jackson and Thomas Dolby while adding a Euro Pop Dance lift that keeps it bright, bouncy and highly memorable. There is even a subtle Jona Lewie quality in the way the hook burrows into your mind and stays there.

The second release, Stay, leans into a shimmering, dreamlike 80s inspired ballad format. Popping synth textures recall Yazoo or Pet Shop Boys, wrapped in glossy European pop production that feels both nostalgic and modern. Vas Michael’s smooth and recognisable vocal draws the listener into a warm atmosphere of airy pads and melodic arpeggios. The track plays like a romantic vignette set in a futuristic world, a synth pop poem with the cinematic glow of a Never Ending Story style moment.

Vas Michael is a singer songwriter who moves comfortably between slow burning ballads and upbeat dance pop. His music is shaped by strong melodic choices and lyrics that speak with depth and sincerity.

Both new singles are now featured on our A List Playlist and will be played daily as a special DOUBLE POP POWERPLAY at 9:30 AM Pacific USA time throughout the next month.

Dave Curl releases his latest single Empty, a dreamy and atmospheric track shaped by worldly slide-guitar textures, melodic whispered vocals reminiscent of Roger Waters, a Sting-like mood, and a soothing melody that relaxes the listener while carrying a subtle Snowy White vibe. Heartfelt, touching, and rooted in real human experience, the song gently pulls you into its world. Empty is now on our A-List Playlist and will be played daily as a special BALLAD POWERPLAY at 5 PM Pacific USA time for the next month.

Swiss singer-songwriter Dave Curl, born with English-Australian roots, has been crafting thoughtful folk-pop-rock since 2015. His music blends introspective lyrics with authentic melodic storytelling, connecting deeply through honesty and emotion. With more than 2 million streams and over 4,000 playlist features, his songs have reached listeners across the globe. He has played more than 300 shows, from intimate solo sets to dynamic duo performances, and continues to refine his expressive, heartfelt sound with each release.

His debut album Introducing (2021) was followed by the EPs Slave To Instinct and Hold Me Close, and in 2024 he released Lockdown – Seven Nations, a collaborative project uniting rap artists from around the world. Recent singles such as Don’t Talk Anymore, Running Wild, Riders, and Red Flag showcase his evolving sonic identity and emotional depth.

Now comes Empty, a hauntingly beautiful and melancholic acoustic rock song about burnout, disconnection, and the longing to escape. It captures the feeling of running endlessly in life’s rat race, chasing goals, losing touch with yourself, and realizing you’ve drifted far from what truly matters. Built around intimate vocals, raw acoustic guitar, and soft atmospheric layers, Empty unfolds with honesty and vulnerability. It serves both as a personal confession and a mirror for anyone who has ever felt drained by the pressure to keep going when there’s nothing left inside.

For fans of reflective and emotion-driven music—think Ben Howard, Damien Rice, or Kurt Vile—Empty blends melancholy and beauty into a sound that lingers long after the final chord fades. The single is set for release on November 13, 2025.

Just in — the moving new single “Living Without Hope” by Charlie Harris is officially on our A-List Playlist! This heartfelt track blends jangly guitar hooks with a beautifully honest vocal and melody, echoing the feel of classic R.E.M. and Neil Young — all with a South African twist.

Charlie Harris returns with a raw, authentic sound that feels timeless and real. No frills, just honest songwriting and music with heart.

Catch “Living Without Hope” playing every few hours, and as our POWERPLAY at 10:30 AM Pacific USA time, every day for the next month!

South African singer-songwriter Charlie Harris dives deep into raw emotion with his haunting new single, “Living Without Hope” — a track that captures the stillness and solitude of heartbreak.

Produced by longtime collaborator Robin Walsh, the 3-minute track is a sparse, slow-burning meditation on how sadness can quietly infiltrate our daily lives. Carried by Charlie’s intimate vocals and unfiltered songwriting, Living Without Hope doesn’t dress up the truth — it sits in it.

    “It’s a song to share how we all sometimes feel,” says Charlie. “That quiet ache when sadness and loneliness take over your every thought, and it feels like you’re living without any hope. I wanted to put that into words — not for sympathy, but for solidarity.”

Following his warmly received single When Are You Coming Home?, and the folk-rock optimism that defined his earlier albums Digital Dust Side A and B, this new track signals a shift toward a starker, more reflective sound. But Charlie’s signature touch remains: vulnerability, storytelling, and an emotional through-line that lingers long after the last note.

Based in Johannesburg, Charlie Harris has built a loyal following through his poetic songwriting, warm folk-rock energy, and ability to find the extraordinary in everyday emotion. His band, Keep Guessing Charlie, features musicians Andre Feldmann, Shaun Ruysenaar, Louise Cloete, and Frank Coerlin — though Living Without Hope marks one of Charlie’s most personal solo releases to date.

Stay tuned for more heartfelt music from Charlie Harris throughout 2025.
