Entering my teenage years, when I turned thirteen, it felt different. Suddenly everything they said meant a lot to me; my choice in music, the colours I liked, the way I sat, the way my spectacles looked, my clothing, everything they said about my choices kind of started mattering. Then when I turned 14, I was even more into knowing what people thought about me, whether it was good, bad, or neutral, I took their opinions so that I could work on myself more, especially during my breakup era.

Rising indie-pop artist and songwriter Lila Holler returns with her most vulnerable release to date, “The Way I Am Now”, a haunting indie-pop confessional about love, insecurity, and the hope for unconditional acceptance.

Written during a period of personal struggle, the track finds Lila balancing themes of self-care, insecurity, and intimacy within a serious relationship.

Up-and-coming singer-songwriter Tanisha Deka has released her latest indie pop single "i'll never learn," out on all streaming platforms today, September 26th. The track explores the painful psychology of toxic attachment, with powerful lyrics like "I'd rather hate myself than not love you" that cut straight to the core of unhealthy relationship dynamics.

I can cry
But when you live to survive
I can only ever imagine it

Blood becomes a language
You learn to speak
To survive

i was a(u)n pulled trigger on your gun

you were too indifferent to shoot and too obsessed to simply let me run

so we hang on, half-there, half-gone

I spend hours waving goodbye.

It hurts, doesn't it?

The goodbye that breaks my fingers and my heart.

I wave 'bye' to every last person I've ever dated...

The stars gaze back, but there's no way for me to greet them.
