In The Spotlight

Pedro Santos – “Should Have Known Better”

Born in Portugal, this Caversham-based singer-songwriter relocated to the UK at 5 years old. Fascinated by music from a young age, he joined the LUSO Academy. As a teenager he used TikTok and Instagram to hone his musical skills. He made his first career move as a member of the band Here At Last. Since going solo he’s played festivals like BST Hyde Park and venues like Paradiso in Amsterdam. Inspired by Coldplay, Hozier and Tom Odell, he debuted with “Someone I Don’t Know” in 2025.

Singing about the frustration of falling back into toxic, yet familiar habits, his new single reflects on a decision to return to vices that are ultimately harmful. Lyrically exploring the challenging move to break free of those unhealthy shackles, this song is a high-energy, anthemic pop groove. With pulsating percussion, wall-of-sound synths and classic pop dynamics, it’s his emotion-filled, soaring vocals that will guide you through the pain of heartbreak towards a peaceful future.

Thalassa – “Petting Pantry”

Based in Bangkok, this Thai singer-songwriter was born into a diverse heritage of Spanish, French and Hong Kong roots. She began training in classical music and opera at just 4 years old. By the age of 8, she was performing in operas and musicals on stage. She’s proficient on piano, guitar, bass and flute, and studied at the Rangsit University’s College of Music. She performed at local venues such as Decommune. Inspired by artists like Clairo and beabadoobee, she debuted with “Hey Girl” in 2020.

Inspired by the movie “When Harry Met Sally”, her new single explores the bittersweet frustration of getting stuck in the friend zone with someone you have feelings for. Blending retro jazz-pop with modern indie-pop, this lively song gives a contemporary twist to some delicious vintage vibes. Giving the feel of a live band, it’s the syncopated drums, bright organic keys and cheerful guitars that raise our spirits. And with her bright, honey-sweet vocals, this bouncy groove is an absolute joy.
