Emma Tea – Why Should We Be Friends?

If you’re into tracks that blend diverse sounds and genres, Emma Tea’s latest release, why should we be friends? is sure to captivate you. What starts with an infectious drum ‘n’ bass energy quickly unfolds into a multifaceted experience, incorporating elements of hyper-pop and a rich array ofinstrumentation. This track doesn’t just stick to one lane, making it a must-listen for those who crave music that goes beyond the ordinary.

EDA NIVES – MAD

From the very first beat, EDA NIVES delivers a track that instantly captivates. MAD stands out with its unique production, infectious beats, and EDA’s playful vocals, making it the kind of song that lingers in your head long after it ends—just like it has for me.

Dopamine Slot Machine – Extra Credit

At AAA Backstage, we’re all about fun indie pop, and Dopamine Slot Machine’s latest track, Extra Credit, nails it. This quirky, feel-good song is impossible not to enjoy, with its experimental pop elements making it one of the most intriguing listens you’ll come across this week.

DEDPAN – YOU’RE GONE

AAA favourites, DEDPAN return with another high-energy banger, You’re Gone. Packed with gritty guitars, pounding drums, and a fiery vocal delivery, this fast-paced jam is two minutes of pure adrenaline. It’s a hit around the office, and we’re sure if edgy punk id your thing, you’ll love it too.

Mathilde Anne – Mr Bystander

Mathilde Anne’s Mr Bystande is perfect if you’re drawn to moodier tracks. Tackling the theme of calling out bad behavior instead of being a passive bystander, the song flows from mellow moments to an anthemic crescendo. It’s a vibe perfect for any empowering playlist.

Carmon – Blood On My Hands

Carmon’s latest track, Blood On My Hands, continues to showcase her signature moody style. Like her previous releases, it exudes sophistication. Despite its gentle tones, the song delivers a powerful impact—a beautiful piece from a talented songwriter, we love and we think you will too!

 

All these tracks and more are added to our Weekly Catch Spotify and Apple Music playlists. So if you want an easy option where you just push and play and shuffle away, we’ve got you!
