J.J. Chamberlain – “Thoughts”
Based in York, this British singer and songwriter is no stranger to the music scene. He is the lead vocalist and guitarist of the band Box Time, as well as playing lead guitar for Love Barons. As a solo artist he’s proved to be a gifted storyteller. He performed at local bars like Cat In The Wall and supported the American grunge band MammaBear on their UK tour. Inspired by bands like The Beatles, Creedence Clearwater Revival and The Smiths, he released his debut single “Eyeballs” in 2024.
Having taken many years to write, his new single tries to capture the grief following the devastating loss of his close friend and bandmate Lanfranco Ganglione to suicide in 2012. Blending the intense lyrics with a 90s rock melody, the vivid song is meant to inspire those who might be struggling too. With an imposing percussion by Takashi Takemura, colorful bass line and rousing guitar riffs weaving this anthemic tune together, it’s his airy, emotive vocals that will gently touch your heart.

Beth McKenzie – “She’s Finally Lost It!”
Hailing from Manchester, this British singer and songwriter began playing music and training classically in the flute from the age of 8. With songwriting acting as an outlet during her teenage years, she created a blend of 00s British pop nostalgia with refreshing Gen Z transparency. With support from BBC Introducing and Under The Radar and inspired by artists ranging from Chappell Roan and Paloma Faith to Lily Allen and Gracie Abrams, she debuted with “Memory Wipe” in 2021.
Steeped in an expressive honesty, her new single tells the tale of power abuse in the music industry and the turmoil this inflicts on artists. Realizing that the story is sombre, she counter-balanced the dark lyrics with an upbeat pop sound. Starting with a soft synth, the track gently ascends, adding more body as it goes, before reaching the bouncy pinnacle in the chorus. With a catchy beat, delicious melodic chaos and her hypnotic vocals, this vibrant tune is filled with resilience.
