As she prepares for a major breakthrough with her medical-themed new album, this fascinating latest excerpt finds Hannah examining the story of the “The Edinburgh Seven”.
The first group of matriculated undergraduate female students at any British university, The Edinburgh Seven studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh back in 1869. Though pioneering for their time, they were prevented from graduating and qualifying as doctors because of their gender – with an angry mob even gathering at the Surgeons’ Hall the following year to prevent them from sitting their anatomy exam. Delving into this turbulent chapter of history with a song of rage and resistance, Hannah echoes the period with a raw, pulsating piece of music. Of “The Edinburgh Seven”, Hannah says:
“Writing “The Edinburgh Seven” was my way of channeling the untold, fierce story of these incredible women into something that feels raw, alive, and rebellious. I wanted to capture their defiance in a sound that’s gritty and visceral—imagine Tarantino making a film about their journey, marching through a hostile crowd of men throwing dirt and hurling insults as they made their way down Nicholson Street to sit their anatomy exam. The song is swampy rock with a bite, reflecting their fight for a place in medicine when society tried to shut them out. In writing this, I wanted to give them a voice, honor their courage, and bring their story into the modern world with all the grit, determination, and swagger it deserves.”
Produced by Ed Harcourt, “The Edinburgh Seven” is a gritty, swampy rock anthem that brings the rebellious spirit of the first female medical graduates to life and channels the bold, trailblazing energy of these pioneering women who broke down barriers in 19th-century Scotland. Infusing a Tarantino-esque cinematic flair colliding via the defiance of these doctors, the resultant track is a powerful celebration of breaking through glass ceilings, delivered with swagger, grit, and unapologetic strength.

Television Skies is a New York City based duo blending infectious pop rock energy with a vintage, feel-good vibe. Known for their anthemic hooks, raw emotion, and rebellious spirit, they create songs that hit with both nostalgic intensity and punk rock heart. Television Skies is redefining alternative pop music on their own terms — staying true, and free from disguise. Inspired by artists like The 1975, Coldplay and Arctic Monkeys, the duo craft intoxicating songs that speak to universal themes of love, identity, and perseverance.
Their latest single “Time of My Life” showcases the duo’s ability to combine the anthemic energy of classic rock with the storytelling and emotion of alternative pop. Capturing a moment of recklessness, the track details when you’ve gone too far, and there’s no turning back. They share, “There is a strong through-line throughout our music that aims to inspire and draw out the limitless potential of our generation. Turning to a more rock based sound for our new project to try to capture the nostalgic yet hopeful look toward a better and brighter tomorrow. It’s desperate, vulnerable, and raw, a crash in slow motion. All you can do is hope that the people you love will remember your life with a smile. There’s beauty in the wreckage, a feeling that’s both tragic and euphoric.”
Sonically, “Time of My Life” balances motion and reflection. Its fast pace and driving percussion mirror the urgency of pushing forward in life, while the reflective lyrics emphasize its nostalgic tone. Working alongside Cass Dillon (Morgan Saint, Devora, Billy Joel), “Time of My Life” sees the band entering a fresh approach to their songwriting, delving into themes of searching—searching for meaning, searching for identity, searching for a place where we belong.
Television Skies add, “Time of My Life is about making mistakes, losing control, and still finding a reason to keep going. If it inspires someone to take a risk, to chase something they’ve been afraid to go after, or even just to let go of whatever’s been holding them back, then we’ve done our job. There’s a freedom in accepting that life is messy, that you don’t have to have everything figured out, and that sometimes the best thing you can do is just throw yourself into the moment. More than anything, we hope our music gives people that push—to live fully, to love sincerely, and to believe that no matter where they are, they can always find their way home.”
With millions of streams for their music to date and a rapidly growing fanbase, Television Skies are the hottest upcoming band for 2025, with “Time of My Life” out now!

After announcing his upcoming album REV, set for release on April 4, 2025, the artist behind the diamond-certified single “Shining Light” (+50M streams) unveils his brand-new release: “THE RISE”.
In contrast to previous releases “FAST CITY” and “IN MY BLOOD”, “THE RISE” sees Aime Simone reconnecting with his softness. Carried by ethereal synths and enveloping guitars, this electro-pop track unfolds as a gentle and comforting ballad. Opening the track Aime sings “I do not need to fake it, I do not need to try, it’s coming to me in the morning, it’s coming to me like the rise” in a heartfelt and vulnerable ode to living life authentically.
The Paris-born, singer-songwriter and producer recorded his debut album Say Yes, Say No in Berlin in his apartment, released independently in July 2020 – including the viral hit single “Shining Light” which raced to over 50M streams. The rising talent has spent most of his adult life between territories, with a creative process firmly rooted in countless travels from one country to another, each of them marking a
transitional moment in his life. This constant movement – both personal and geographical – has played a pivotal role in Aime’s choice of English as the language in which he could most freely express himself as an artist from his earliest compositions. Signed to Because Music (Christine and The Queens, SHY GIRL), and with over 1.6M dedicated monthly listeners on Spotify, his last album Oh Glory solidified Aime as a thrilling new name in the pop landscape.

It’s about navigating a complicated relationship. Whether with someone else or with yourself, there are two sides to the same story.”
Since making their debut over a decade ago, Paperwhite have captivated fans and tastemakers alike, earning praise from Billboard, Vice, and Buzzfeed, and securing spots on numerous Spotify editorial playlists.

Japanese female electronic artist SHIMA has released her new single ‘1807’ out now via Young Art Records.
An all-absorbent listening experience, ‘1807’ is a captivating original that beautifully blends SHIMA’s Japanese origins and melodic electronica stylings. Laden with silky flutes, atmospheric synths, and rhythmic percussion, ‘1807’ is crafted around a sampled Japanese folk song and seamlessly threads SHIMA’s two distinctive sonic influences. Showcasing the depth and ingenuity of her sound, ‘1807’ celebrates the clashing of cultures fans can expect throughout SHIMA’s ever-growing discography.
“‘1807’ samples a Japanese folk song that used to be sung by fishermen in the Hokkaido region of Japan, while they worked on their sailboats to catch cod fish. The regional dialect is unfortunately part of a shrinking culture that people are increasingly starting to realize the importance of preserving and keeping alive in the public consciousness. By combining this folk song with totally new influences and modern synth leads, I hope that in my own small way I can also contribute to keeping these cultures and traditions alive and evolving.” – SHIMA
