Teaming up vocalist Raizel Gonzales (of Woes fame) and producer Ian Lee (AKA eelnai), R&B duo nkei present a tasteful and emotionally potent take on the genre with their heartbreaking debut single, No. 

On their return, St47tic flex witty lyricism and a truculent attitude over woozy trap production. Yet, despite Altior Potentia meaning “Higher Power” in Latin, the track unfortunately doesn’t transcend its more derivative tendencies.

Nothing Lasts Forever is a sentimental ode to the transient nature of things. With its searing guitar leads, understated keys, and airtight rhythms, they lean deeper into their last album's refined aesthetics - in short, Kyoto Protocol sound as good as they’ve ever had.

Whack is a far cry from BGourd’s previous releases, and an even wilder left-field foray compared to anything else Singaporean rap has to offer. But it’s a genre-bending experiment that works with its infectious energy that is more than enough to convince even the biggest naysayers.

It’s the producer’s juggling between Don’t Feel The Bass’s elements that make it truly dynamic – a puppet master of the dancefloor, it’s exciting to think what’s in store for us on his upcoming debut EP, and even more so his live sets in a post-pandemic world.

Up-and-comers GOK$ and Kenzo’s Mood Swings present an invigorating, if not slightly overambitious EP full of vague vignettes exploring conflicting confidence and self-doubt

By paving new sonic horizons through looking back, Super Flower Scene reveals a path perhaps indicative for Winona Dryver’s way forward.

Very much in line with the Mitski-influenced colour of kotoji’s previous singles, the single builds upon the artistic narrative established in her “Prequel Era” – detailing heartbreak, doubt, and self-destruction.

A dazzlingly enjoyable debut, Tangent bands together two artists from starkly different musical backgrounds in an experimental affair that reaps the best of what both artists have to offer.

Going all out with a keen pop sensibility, dense vocal arrangements, and head-bopping trap rhythms, Chriskris’ debut is an inspired take on soulful R&B-tinged hip-hop.

Microchip Terror’s undated sound fills the imagination with the terrors of a System Shock-esque world – with B-movie body horror and haunted Nintendo cartridges alike.

Honey, Baby is a jangle anthem that soars. Even when robbed of the opportunity to play at SXSW, Grrrl Gang ignore their bummer in Honey, Baby’s fun, lively absurdity.

With his emotional vulnerability, husky production choices, and a unique delivery, mary sue brings you falling down insomnia’s rabbit hole with him.

Alt-rap collective Unknown Radicals make their return with a thumping tribute to pre-pandemic club-going that doesn’t shy away from partying’s seedier and more unpleasant sides. Much like a night of getting smashed, it’s as exhilarating as it is nasty.

An ode to unrequited love, Lover’s Dream sees Saints Amongst Sinners instil their signature youthful introspection with a heady immediacy.

It feels like (Feel Like) Dancing Alone suffers from an inherent stylistic clash between the two artists present, with the Lim and Houg not able to reconcile how their individual musical sensibilities may work together, leading to something that sounds half-baked and uninspired for the most part.

Despite leaning strongly on his influences, Persephone’s Garden definitely establishes P_NEDA as having his own strong voice and identity within Singaporean rap, and it’s heartening to see yet another hip-hop artist bring his own fresh and distinct sound to the table.

There’s a good song in whirring’s if you’d have me – but its overall underwhelming production and odd stylistic choices vocally leave much more to be desired.

Opus Renegade raps of betrayal and retribution, as he balances the merciful mantras of his upbringing with the violence he intends to inflict on those who have wronged him.

In a refreshing departure from what seemed like a safe, by the numbers, and very on brand pop-rock, Can’t Seem to Get Anything is a solid groovy rebound for Singapore’s favourite indie rock darlings.
