As summer 2025 hits its peak it feels like everyone is taking advantage of the sizzling temperatures and radiant sunshine. Certainly when it comes to musicians and pop artists alike there is a plentiful supply of anthems that evoke the hot and energizing feelings associated with the season. For example, British club-pop rising star Samira is vying for a piece of the action herself sharing, “Cardio“. (The first focus track from her upcoming sophomore EP).

Building on the impressive foundation of her debut EP “Dancefloors & Drama Vol1.” Enables Samira to boldly continue her exploration of dynamic dancefloor anthems that resonate with her audience. Subsequently, her music uniquely blends infectious beats with emotionally charged narratives. Where these often illuminate with intricate themes of modern dating and the rollercoaster of romance. In the captivating introductory track of her highly anticipated second EP, Samira ramps up the energy, dialling it to eleven. With a pulsating electronic dance track that combines driving rhythms and provocative lyrics, ensuring an exhilarating experience that will undoubtedly set dancefloors ablaze and leave listeners wanting more.

Incorporating a pulsating and dynamic bassline, Samira, in collaboration with the producers Jonny Parry and Hotel Torino, immerses listeners in a rich tapestry of club aesthetics. They skillfully blend techno-inspired synths with the energetic rhythms of electro dance. Thus significantly creating a soundscape that not only captivates but also compels movement on the dance floor. Furthermore, the intricate layers of this composition beautifully complement the lyrical narrative of “Cardio.” All of which revolves around a fiercely empowered woman who possesses the self-assurance to challenge her suitor’s stamina, in the heat of a dancefloor battle. This song becomes a celebration of confidence and strength in the modern social landscape.

Everything’s falling into place for Samira to become the next dance pop icon. Above all, a cocktail of electrifying dancefloor-filling pop, an independent yet relatable attitude, and a striking visual aesthetic stands out as a powerful proposition. Subsequently, those traits have been distilled to perfection with the release of her new single “Cardio“.

It’s no surprise that Kim Petras is set to perform at PRIDE events this summer, as her presence has become a staple of these celebrations. It would truly feel incomplete without her as a headliner or at least part of the lineup. This summer presents an excellent opportunity for this pop powerhouse to not only thrill fans with her extensive repertoire of beloved hits but also to introduce fresh material. Given the hints about her time in the studio, it was therefore, highly likely she may debut some new tracks. When she first released “POLO,” fans were pleasantly surprised to see her embrace a full-on club-ready, EDM sound, showcasing her evolving artistry.

Following the much-anticipated unveiling, Bunheads have become fervently enthusiastic about the track “POLO,” but their excitement doesn’t stop there. A significant number of fans have been vocal about their desire for Kim to share another electrifying track, “Freak It,” which recently featured in her sets. It’s easy to understand why this bass-heavy club anthem has the Bunheads buzzing with excitement. Notably, the infectious energy and powerful beats are perfect for a lively night out. Moreover, the influence of last summer’s “BRAT” effect has carried over. As we see its impact resonating with some of pop’s leading ladies, including the vibrant Kesha, who is similarly riding a wave of popularity this summer. And now it appears Kim is also hopping on this trend. Either way the embrace of electrifying electro by such artists is creating a thrilling atmosphere in the current music scene.

Speaking of “Freak It”, Kim says…

“I miss the chaos and joy of artists like LMFAO and Avicii, and honestly, I just want to lose my mind at clubs this summer listening to this song. The fans yelling at me to release it basically did me a favor. God was definitely in the studio that day.”

Currently, collaborations with the dynamic duo Frost Children are creating a significant buzz in the music industry. Their exceptional talent in hyper-pop production has played a pivotal role in shaping Babymorocco‘s debut album, “Amour.” An album that has not only received critical acclaim from music reviewers but has also captured the hearts of fans, establishing a strong presence in the genre. Similarly, the Frost Children make an impression for Kim’s “Freak It,” which delivers an electrifying surge of synth-pop energy. This song perfectly blends vibrant, pulsating synths with a backdrop of frenetic bass beats, creating an exhilarating listening experience.

I think we can assume the era that follows next shall be Kim’s boldest yet.

Georgia‘s recent decision to wipe her Instagram grid undoubtedly heightened my anticipation for new music from the talented multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter. Coupled with her intriguing teaser clips featuring Olly Alexander, it’s clear she’s brewing something exciting in the studio. While a quieter phase after the release of her “Euphoric” album in 2023 was expected. The electrifying response at her headline gig at Colour Factory in London similarly proves that her fans are ravenous for more. Therefore, some two years on, feels like a pivotal moment to unleash a wave of fresh, dynamic music that her audience craves!

It would be downright surprising for Georgia to start a new chapter without delivering an irresistible bop. Namely since this a hallmark of her artistry as a dynamic multi-talented creator. With her latest release, “Wanna Play,” she not only meets but surpasses these high expectations. This electrifying track bursts with infectious melodies and sharp, engaging lyrics. Undeniably the soundscape firmly captures the attention of both her devoted fanbase and critics eager to celebrate her evolution.

Talking about the track, Georgia says: “I wrote this song at a complete crossroads in my life, which is why I stuck with the 160bpm! It’s a fast tempo punk-electro song, inspired by early Knife songs & 80’s Depeche Mode bass-lines. It’s a bit of fun really, I wanted to explore my love for synths again!”

It is no coincidence that “Wanna Play,” Georgia’s latest single, is strategically placed during the vibrant festival season. (Notably a time when music enthusiasts flock to outdoor events and artists actively showcase their talents). Traditionally, this period sees Georgia fully immersed in her own performances across major music festivals,. Where she moreover, captivates audiences with her dynamic energy and unique sound.

However, this year marks a change. A statement from Georgia confirms she is hosting an intimate live event at London’s AnotherLand on the 25th of July. This exclusive gathering will feature her performing a brand-new live set. Additionally, attendees can look forward to a lineup of talented guest DJs who will complement the evening with their own distinct mixes. Namely culminating in an unforgettable night, offering a unique opportunity for fans to experience Georgia’s artistry up close in a more personal setting.

When it comes to must-have summer releases, the debut EP from Tears & Gearz is undeniably at the forefront. The moment I discovered that Bentley Robles and Zee Machine were joining forces as a pop duo under their Tears & Gearz tour banner, I anticipated they would deliver some of the most exhilarating and delightfully campy pop music of the season. After unveiling their catchy singles “Delusional” and “George Michael,” they’ve truly culminated their creative journey with the brilliant debut EP “Father Figure Fantasy.” They’ve more than proven us right!

Referencing this collaboration as a glitter-drenched lovechild of The 1975, Wham!, and queer heartbreak on the dancefloor. They certainly live up to the brief. Above all, this duo embodies an electrifying vision. Featuring the self-proclaimed Ugly Crier Bentley Robles and the magnetic singer-songwriter Zee Machine (whose talent for crafting evocative queer love songs is utterly mesmerising). The EP is a must-listen collection of heartbreak pop anthems, expertly infused with lush, immersive pop soundscapes. Drawing inspiration from the legendary songwriting of George Michael. Evidently, they deliver a striking musical experience that profoundly resonates and leaves a lasting impression.

They delve into the emotional turmoil of rekindling relationships with an ex. For example, often circling back to past connections despite knowing the heartbreak they might bring. The refusal to accept the finality of breaking up reveals a complex blend of hope and nostalgia. In their quest for closure, they even indulge in a desire for bitter, twisted revenge against those who have wronged them. Notably crafting elaborate fantasies of retribution. The EP’s heartbreak concept breaks off for the ultimate anthem for queers grappling with a Daddy crush. “Father Figure Fantasy” inspiration “George Michael,” delivers realism with a thirsty checklist of favoured attributes. Thus, the EP celebrates both the thrill and the pain of love’s chaotic dance.

With their latest release, Bentley and Zee raise the bar for queer pop, building on their successful collaborations “See Me Naked” and “Anyone But Him.” This new music powerfully showcases narratives from a gay perspective, embodying a vibrant celebration of equality and joy. Above all, it’s an undeniable triumph and a bold statement of expression and pride for the LGBTQI community!

Likewise she could have easily concentrated on her burgeoning modelling career, where she’s already attracting significant attention.

It’s quite unusual for Sean Smith to keep us waiting all summer without releasing a fresh dance-pop track. However, this year he’s breaking the mould by getting ahead of the season. Just as we prepare to pack our sunscreen and flip-flops for our summer getaways, the former Same Difference singer gifts us with the empowering anthem “Feel This Love.” In a time when current events weigh heavily on our hearts, this notably inclusive song feels incredibly timely. Above all infusing us with an uplifting and joyous energy that’s sure to resonate with listeners everywhere.

What I truly admire about this track is its universally relatable narrative. The deliberate absence of gender references allows the lyricism to maintain a beautifully ambiguous quality. Thus inviting anyone, regardless of their background, to see themselves in the story being told. This song is not just a collection of sweet melodies. It’s a heartfelt journey through the intoxicating experience of love. That artfully captures the blissful, euphoric feeling of being head over heels. Moreover, the evocative imagery and emotional depth in the lyrics create a connection that resonates in an instant.

Of the track Sean adds…

“Feel this Love” is a pure dopamine hit that is set around the feeling of excitement when meeting your special someone, knowing that it will be a significant relationship that will change the course of your destiny. So add it to your playlist, turn it up, get out in the sun and pour a G&T!”

At the moment, there’s a select group of emerging artists whose every new track fills me with excitement, and Nieri stands out prominently among them. His music not only captures my attention but also demonstrates remarkable growth and sophistication with each release. Following the impressive reception of his EPs, “Starshine” and “Flow State,” which showcased his unique blend of electronic and indie sounds, Nieri continued to impress with his recent single “People Pleaser.” This track perfectly encapsulates his knack for catchy melodies and thoughtful lyrics, further cementing his position in the music scene.

Now, he has thrilling news for his fans: a debut album is on its way, promising to delve even deeper into his artistic vision. Just this week, he released “Architecture,” the sophomore focus track from the forthcoming album, and it brilliantly showcases his evolving sound and lyrical depth. With each release, Nieri is proving to be a formidable force in the music world, and I can’t wait to see where he goes next.

Despite my long-standing admiration for everything Nieri releases musically, he has truly raised the bar with “Architecture.” From the very first listen, the track fills me with an exhilarating excitement unlike anything I’ve felt before. This song is infused with an infectious groove and inescapable funky beats that draw you in from the outset. Each time I play it, I find myself unable to resist swaying my body to its pulsating dance rhythms. Moreover, Nieri’s falsetto shines brilliantly in this piece, showcasing particularly divine vocal moments that elevate the overall experience.

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…
