Riding the wave of success from his recent EP “Popstar of Your Dreams,” rising pop sensation Kai Bosch shows no signs of slowing down. Instead of retreating to write new songs, he is driving forward with unwavering momentum. He unveils his compelling follow-up release, “Summer of Love.” This track not only further showcases his evolved music direction but also arrives at the perfect moment, coinciding with a sweltering heatwave. Thus making it a striking full-circle moment that amplifies its impact.

“I wrote ‘Summer Of Love” during last year’s heatwave,” Kai explains. “It was the beginning of a new relationship for me and suddenly everything felt like it had so much meaning and purpose. We spent the summer swimming in the lake district, cat-sitting in Amsterdam, drinking bottles of wine on my roof – it truly felt like I was back in my body and I wanted to make a song that would encapsulate that summer forever.” 

Evidently the universe seemed perfectly aligned as Kai dove into the creation of his latest wave of music. Drawing inspiration from moments of profound contentment, exhilarating joy, and sheer euphoria, he crafted melodies that resonate deeply. Each note and chord unfolds with an ease and fluidity. While his openhearted lyricism reflects authentic experiences and emotions, inviting listeners to connect with him on a personal level.

Kai Bosch’s audacious leap into the pop genre is proving to be a game changer. Suddenly, more ears are tuned in, and the momentum of praise for his work is gaining significant traction. It’s hardly surprising that his music is capturing widespread attention. It’s not just catchy, but also radiates an infectious energy coupled with an incredibly anthemic quality that resonates with listeners. His sound especially creates an inviting pocket of sunshine, reminding us of the joy and relief that music can bring in challenging times.

Listeners who may have initially been hesitant to delve into earlier Kai Bosch offerings, such as the emotional depth of “Tulips” and the eclectic vibe of “Spider“. Likeliest will find themselves more drawn in by these newer accessible tunes. The infectious energy and memorable choruses promise to resonate with fans of contemporary pop while still retaining the unique essence that defines Kai’s artistry.

Recently, her career has taken a particularly exhilarating leap, as she has shared the stage with pop powerhouse artists like Halsey and secondly Olivia Rodrigo during her recent summer concert at BST Hyde Park.

Following a sweltering hot weekend here in the UK, I found myself drawn to “Sweatbox,” the latest single from emerging pop artist Marlowe. It’s a timely track, capturing the spirit of the moment. However, Marlowe, originally from Venezuela but now making waves in London, doesn’t seem bothered by the weather at all. Interestingly, “Sweatbox” isn’t an anthem for climate activism or a commentary on the oppressive humidity that seems to be plaguing the UK. Instead, Marlowe opts for raw, confessional lyrics that delve into personal experiences, particularly the journey of living authentically in the public eye. In this track, they convey a yearning to shed inhibitions and celebrate love and affection within the vibrant atmosphere of a club setting.

“I feel drops of your sweat, see you staring at my mouth. Let other people watch, that’s why we’re not at our house”. the song lyrics express

Had it not been Pride Month, Marlowe would have undoubtedly released this track regardless, as its significance transcends Pride celebrations.The song embodies the vibrant spirit of the LGBTQ+ community, aligning seamlessly with pride themes of authentic living, self-expression, and the celebration of joy and love. This track is an undeniably addictive dance-pop anthem, filled with euphoric beats and catchy hooks that invite listeners to hit the dance floor. It brings to mind the infectious charm of Stephen (Tin Tin) Duffy‘s classic “Kiss Me,” with its playful melodies and upbeat rhythm. Moreover, it draws inspiration from the contemporary pop sounds of artists like Troye Sivan and Olly Alexander, highlighting Marlowe’s commitment to blending modern influences with timeless appeal. This release not only captivates the ear but also invites everyone to embrace their true selves on the dance floor.

This release is taken from Marlowe’s highly anticipated debut mini-album SUBMISSIVE, out on 29th August 2025 via Plant Pot Records.

“This whole project is a song cycle that explores the unravelling of a people-pleaser. It’s a testament to the defiance of societal rules, pressures, and expectations — things I grapple with every day.”

Furthermore, Marlowe declares…

This release represents more than just music; it’s a personal reckoning…

I am absolutely thrilled about this week’s standout release: “Je Ne Sais Quoi,” the debut track from London’s very own self-proclaimed “Pop Girlie Boy,” Stan Pratt. Now, I can already hear the questions: Doesn’t Kylie have a track with the same name? Is this a reimagining? The answer is a resounding no. Kylie recorded “Je ne sais pas pourquoi” for her iconic 1988 debut album “Kylie,” but these two tracks couldn’t be more different in sound and style. Kylie embodies that classic disco and dance-pop flair we all love, while Stan Pratt is here to push boundaries with his bold, maximalist pop infused with an alternative edge.

Interestingly, I see a parallel between Stan and the current alt-pop sensation Chloe Qisha, who holds a degree in psychology. Stan brings a unique twist of his own, boasting a degree in neuroscience. (Surprised? I certainly was!). This combination of academic prowess and musical talent is sure to create something truly unique.

Describing the debut offering “Je Ne Sais Quoi,” the song is playful and upbeat albeit notably brimming with a vibrant, cool and thought-provoking narrative, teeming with tongue-in-cheek lyricism.

“I wrote it about a certain category of male narcissist, and at the start of the song, I allude to the way he’s been shaped by his upbringing.” Though the track’s protagonist was “treasured like an angel from the skies”, he’s now “dancing with the devil just to bring you down a level” – in other words, precisely the kind of bad boy who’s tough to resist,” Stan explains.

Stan’s deep love for 80s synth-pop infuses his music with a nostalgic yet fresh vibe that truly resonates with me. While I’m not aware of him covering any of Kylie’s tracks. I can confidently say that his rendition of Bronski Beat’s “Smalltown Boy” is a must-listen (check it out here). It’s a brilliant interpretation that showcases his unique style!

When exploring new music and emerging artists, I always trust my instincts. In this case, I can’t help but feel an overwhelming sense of excitement about Stan Pratt. I genuinely believe I’m in for the long haul with his sound. If you’re a fan of Charli XCX, MARINA, Alfie Templeman, or Conan Gray, then I have no doubt you’ll find yourself equally captivated by Stan Pratt.

Allow me to introduce you to CRUZEJUDE, a talented queer indie-pop artist from the East Midlands who has just released an absolutely captivating new track titled “Falling For You.” He recently reached out to share the song, but to be honest, the message was brief. Although, this left me eager to dive right into the music. As soon as I pressed play, I was instantly enveloped in the lush, dreamy melodies and smooth vibes. At once, completely transported by the experience. As an introduction, this was truly the best way to engage with CRUZEJUDE’s unique and evocative artistry.

This song beautifully weaves an intimate and dreamy atmosphere that draws you in from the very first note. The vocals carry a distinct indie-pop aesthetic, showcasing soft harmonies and an inviting tone that instantly captivates the listener. The combination of the airy vocal style and the lush, melodic soundscape reminds me of an intriguing fusion between Clairo‘s ethereal qualities and Blood Orange‘s smooth, groove-infused sound.

It’s the kind of track that feels just right on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Perfect for lounging around with a cup of tea or soaking in the sun. The soft, reflective lyrics explore the bittersweet experience of falling for someone who is emotionally unavailable. All while conveying a powerful, heartfelt message about recognizing and embracing your own self-worth. This depth adds a layer of relatability, making the song not just enjoyable but also a source of comfort for anyone navigating similar feelings.

After diving into his social media, I discovered that he’s not only an exceptional musician but also a professional dancer. He has toured with Girls Aloud, shared the stage with Sabrina Carpenter, and made a striking appearance at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest as a backup dancer for Malta’s Miriana Conte, electrifying the audience with the cheeky anthem “Serving.”

His musical persona, CRUZEJUDE, is equally striking, showcasing a diverse and captivating selection of tracks on his Spotify that underline his extraordinary versatility. His vocal skills are slick and commanding, truly setting him apart in the competitive music landscape. I felt it is imperative that I feature him as an emerging artist on the blog. Thus highlighting his remarkable talent and undoubtedly driving up some engagement for his musical art.

As readers of EQ Music Blog are well aware, we have a particular liking for Nordic pop artists. A vibrant genre that has been the focal point of many features on our blog. From Sigrid‘s electrifying energy to Dagny‘s catchy melodies, and MØ‘s dynamic soundscapes to Moyka‘s ethereal vocals.

IVY is not only developing a distinctive sound in the alt-pop genre. She is also setting herself apart from other artists in the Nordic pop scene with her vibrant and anthemic power-pop style. In her artistic journey, she has transitioned from her previously sweet and alluring vocal delivery, which resonated with DJs, producers, and live audiences during various collaborations in the electronic and club music space. Which her most recent collaboration with Tungevaag on the track “The Night” highlights. Additionally, the bold, sing-speak approach she employs in “Let My Hair Down” represents a dramatic change. Moreover, making IVY nearly unrecognizable compared to her earlier pop music endeavours. Yet, above all showcasing her ability to evolve as an artist.

“This era is about trusting my instincts—creatively, emotionally, and physically,” IVY shares. “I’m not overthinking it. I’m letting it be loud, sexy, and unapologetic.”

The visuals are vibrant and dynamic, delivering an empowering attitude that exudes confidence and strength.

I have to say, my excitement for the emerging girl band Say Now has skyrocketed recently. I genuinely believe they’re a hot tip for 2025/2026. Amelia, YSSY, and Maddie not only shine in their appearance but also deliver music that truly stands out. To be frank, their performances are nothing short of mesmerising; they captivate the audience with a unique energy. Watching these talented ladies evolve with each release is a delight, as they radiate something truly special.

Following their sold-out debut headline show at Camden Assembly, it feels like they’re on the cusp of unveiling some thrilling announcements. Namely, potentially another EP and, fingers crossed, some tour dates in particular. Above all, these girls deserve to showcase their infectious 2000s RnB pop sound at major festivals and events like the Capital Summer Time Ball. They’re certainly on the rise!

Nowhere is their RnB pop mastery more evident than in their latest hit, “Brick by Brick“. Solidifying their status as the most sought-after girl group today. Co-written with Gil Lewis and Mae Muller and produced by Maestro. This captivating siren song serves as a powerful commentary on toxic relationships. They boldly address their ex’s new partner, by exposing his deceitful nature. Furthermore urging her not to be swayed by his charming façade. Revealing the truth behind the manipulation. They boldly assert that they were the ones who shaped him into the person he is today.

“Brick By Brick” is a song that’s very personal to us. It’s a warning to the next girls who date our exes to not be fooled into thinking that they’re amazing. And that they wouldn’t be the way they are now if we hadn’t taught them how!”

After the overwhelming response to the “Can’t Keep A Beat” music video, the girls are back with an impressively choreographed dance routine for “Brick by Brick.” They are truly honing their skills in this style of music video.

After a captivating and charismatic performance at the EQ Music new artist showcase last year. I have been eagerly anticipating the follow-up music releases from the exceptionally talented independent pop multi-hyphenate Emmett Daly. Recognizing that Emmett balances his passionate pursuit of music alongside a demanding career as a doctor. It was clear that the period of waiting for new music would be an inevitable yet worthwhile journey. Simply because the performance at our EQ Music showcase was a testament to his stellar command of musicianship. Moreover, showcasing his unique blend of pop sensibilities and emotive lyrics. Above all, I had no doubt that when the day arrived for his new music release, it would, not only meet but exceed my expectations. Thus proving that the wait was indeed worth every moment.

Following an electrifying guest appearance with Una Healy (formerly of The Saturdays and his mentor from The Voice of Ireland) at the Mighty Hoopla in May. Where they enthralled audiences with their duet of “The Giver,” the latest track by Chappell Roan, Emmett saw a golden opportunity to reignite his music career. This moment not only elevated his profile but also set the stage for a powerful reconnection with his artistry thus fuelling anticipation for “Pharaoh,” Emmett’s highly anticipated first release of 2025.

This captivating track thrives on a haunting soundscape that amplifies the brooding atmosphere established in his 2024 release, “Cold Fire.” In “Pharaoh,” Emmett masterfully showcases his poetic lyrical prowess, overflowing with vivid imagery and deep emotion. The narrative reveals his intent to shield himself from the anguish inflicted by a lover’s betrayal. He perceives a troubling entanglement that threatens their relationship’s integrity, and Emmett is resolute in his commitment to protect himself from the fallout of such dishonourable behaviour.

“Darling you lost your halo. So please keep away. Cuz I’m guarding my heart like a pharaoh and now you know, yeah you know.”

In his stunning directorial debut, Emmett captivates audiences with his debut music video. He embraces a cinematic aesthetic that immerses viewers in a vast desert landscape. As he navigates this poignant setting, Emmett delves deep into his struggles, emerging from the experience with newfound strength and wisdom. The clip is equally visually epic as it is masterfully impressive. It begs the question is there anything Emmett cannot turn his hand to? Make no mistake, Emmett Daly has musicianship, musicality and performance in abundance. And like me, you really should start picking up on him.
