New music this week from Myles Smith. “My Mess” comes from his upcoming album “My Mess, My Heart, My Life” out June 12th.
Myles shared a message about the song to his fans on Instagram, saying he’s been reading their messages and it’s been “a bit overwhelming in the most beautiful way.”
“This song was never about being the biggest or the loudest moment,” he says. “It was always meant to be an honest one. Something that brings you into the world of my album… properly. No filter, no pretending.”
He also said that he feels really lucky to have “the most incredible fan base in the world.”
He continued with “I’m still figuring things out. I still have my struggles. But you make me feel less alone in them. And that means more than I can ever explain. Thank you for letting this song be yours as much as it is mine.”
Myles’ album, My Mess. My Heart. My Life., comes out June 12th.
Alex Porat released “Kissing You” in June 2025 from her EP “Crushed!” A catchy anthem about the overwhelming, obsessive thoughts of a new crush.
OneRepublic is back with an uplifting, emotionally charged anthem that highlights the importance of love over materialistic pursuits. The music video captures the band in their element. To add to the excitement, the band has announced the release of their debut album “Dreaming Out Loud (Deluxe Edition) (from 2007) — available on vinyl for the first time ever. A special release not only celebrating their first album, that started their career — but it also features unreleased material.
Alex Sampson is known for turning his personal journal entries into the most relatable pop anthems. Alex describes his songwriting as a way for listeners to live through his experiences right alongside him. We’re getting a good taste of that raw honesty with the latest single “Misery” .
“One of his most energetic and emotionally charged releases to date, the track transforms the intensity of heartbreak into an anthemic release, capturing the push and pull of trying to move on from someone who still lingers in your thoughts.”
