French-Congolese producer/DJ KARABA has announced her forthcoming Tides EP, set to arrive on May 23. The announcement arrives with her new single ‘Siren’ out now via ONErpm.
A mesmerizing dive into Tides, ‘Siren’ lures listeners into KARABA’s immersive world of Afro house rhythms and sultry electronic soundscapes. Evoking both the mythological mystique and raw power of its oceanic inspirations, ‘Siren’ seduces listeners with its elevated synthwork and stimulating sound design. ‘Siren’ joins ‘Dark Waters’ as the second single off KARABA’s upcoming EP and offers a glimpse into the depth of artistry woven throughout Tides.
“With ‘Siren’, I wanted to capture the feeling of being deep in the water—where I’ve finally found calmness and am moving with the flow rather than against it. The bridge is my favorite part, heavily inspired by my love for Daft Punk. I wanted to create something mystical, galactic, and yet somehow, hopeful.” – KARABA
Los Angeles psych-rock gurus Levitation Room are back today with their first release of the year, “It Happens All the Time.” Painting a dreamy image of a goddess-like woman while employing imagery of the celestial world, the band is excited to experiment with new techniques and stylings in their upcoming releases — Stream.
“We’ve tried recording this song several times before but hadn’t been able to capture the song’s essence until working with our friend Iggy at Savannah Studios,” shares lead guitarist Gabe Fernandez. “Julian first brought the song to the table quite fleshed out with changes and lyrics that evoked imagery of a starry night romance. My lead guitar draws from John Lennon’s Plastic Ono Band era with a heavy rotary effect that gives a feeling of warm waves throughout the song. It’s a different approach to our song structure, even exploring more chordal varieties at the end of it. After several studio attempts we finally got the dreamy sound we felt was the embodiment of the song.”

Kingston, NY via Charleston, South Carolina folk singer-songwriter Ginger Winn shares her intimate, cathartic “Not You“–a touching tribute to the artist’s late father, out everywhere now. Winn’s sophomore album Freeze Frame is due out June 13. On May 1, the artist and musician/producer A.J. Yorio (Michael Marcagi) will play live at Colony in Woodstock, NY with tickets on sale now here.
Plus, Winn shares a mental health-focused surprise EP Reflections out today. Written in the wake of losing her father, the three-track EP includes a heartfelt titled “To Dad” where the artist begins to process her immense grief. Included on the project is a cover of The Lumineers‘ “Gloria” that reimagines the original with Winn’s own personal touches.
Winn says, “Not You,” out today, “wrestles with a word difficult to say out loud – suicide. Especially about a loved one. I lost my own father to suicide this past Thanksgiving. We actually made the demo for this song over a year ago, before my own experiences, but I recorded it with A.J. Yorio in January and used it as a catharsis. I hope it helps others who have experienced the loss and resulting guilt, confusion, and pain associated with it.”
The forthcoming LP, Freeze Frame, produced and engineered by A.J. Yorio, sees Winn tackle the complexities of heavy topics like suicide, grief and anxiety. Recorded during a record snow storm in Cincinnati at Yorio’s home studio after globally touring with Michael Marcagi, the album came together naturally and the pair found their stride. Yorio reflects, “I had barely learned how to keep time on the drum kit, let alone learn how to record them correctly, when Matt Baione (Ginger’s co-writer) reached out and asked if I would want to get in the studio first-thing 2025 and make a record. My second son had just been born eight weeks earlier. When Ginger came in January we got snowed in for more than a week with record-breaking-flakes here in Cincinnati. Sharing my home and family with Ginger amidst the epic snowstorm felt like living in a really intriguing Netflix series. It was an utter blast.”
isitjosh, announced his highly anticipated debut album A Collection of Short Stories About the Heart set to be released May 30th. Along with the news, he released the introspective track “can’t take back.”
The new single is available to stream now, along with a visualizer.
“can’t take back” is an emotional and narratively driven pop-punk track exploring how hard it is to be in a long-distance relationship.
“When you’re 2,000 miles apart, small arguments can turn into something greater. You don’t get to hug them, look them in the eyes, and tell them you take it back. It doesn’t hit the same over a phone call,” shares isitjosh. “This song is about doing whatever it takes to make it better, even if it means jumping on the first plane out.”

Inspired by the highs and lows of youthful infatuation, the song channels the band’s signature blend of indie rock, alt-pop, and danceable grooves, drawing comparisons to acts like The 1975, Cage the Elephant, and The Killers. |

For the album, Sam collaborated with BRIT Award-winning UK producer Thom Lewis (Sam Fender), bringing him to New Jersey to immerse himself in the people and places that shaped his story.
