In “That’s You”, Korean-born, London-based multidisciplinary artist Garzón Robie opens a shimmering portal into the ever-shifting terrain of selfhood. The track is a playful yet poignant interrogation of identity — a kaleidoscope of sound and language where minimalism meets dream pop, and sincerity walks hand-in-hand with absurdism.

Today, a new name enters the alt-pop lexicon — one not just heard, but felt. Meet RYLAI, the Seoul-born artist who arrives with more than just a debut single. With “Without You,” he opens a diary, lets it burn, and bottles the smoke. The track is equal parts memory and metamorphosis, laying bare a confession that is as emotionally layered as it is musically rich.

Dropped today as her second release of 2025, “Alibi” isn’t just a song; it’s a cinematic escape route for anyone who's ever chosen chaos over comfort, love over logic.
