Single Review: The Plot by ÊMIA

 "The Plot" by ÊMIA is a fresh and fun song that's a welcome break from today's sad, stripped-down pop. Instead of being all about heartbreak, it's a groovy and nostalgic track that's perfect for a late-night drive.

The song's beat is cinematic and layered, and it pulls you into ÊMIA's story about a whirlwind three-day reunion and a messy first kiss. The main idea is about embracing the chaos of love and life, and loving someone "for the plot"—which is a unique and relatable twist. It’s got that cool, youthful energy you hear in music from artists like Olivia Rodrigo or Charli XCX.

This single is from her upcoming debut album, Conversations We Were Supposed to Have, and it's an exciting preview. "The Plot" shows that ÊMIA isn't just following trends—she's creating her own lane with smart, ambitious pop music. It's a sign that she's an artist to watch.

Artist Interview: Meiia

Image
With a sound that effortlessly fuses soul, pop, and funk, Australian artist Meiia is quickly carving out her place in the alt-pop world. Her upcoming single “Boys Like You” channels sharp-witted lyricism, bold grooves, and emotional honesty, all delivered with her signature vocal sass. In this interview, Meiia opens up about being ghosted (again), the thrill of collaboration, and what it means to find empowerment in hindsight. We caught up with her to talk about her creative process, growing up surrounded by stellar music, and the realities of navigating the music industry with humor, resilience, and a whole lot of heart. Tori: What inspired the creation of your upcoming single "Boys Like You," and what message do you hope listeners take away from the song? Meiia: This song was so fun to make! The topic, however, not so fun. The meaning behind it really came from being ghosted so many times for literally no reason at all. And then, like actual clockwork—they would always come...

Artist Interview: Shallo

  Meet SHALLO, the Dublin-based duo composed of Shawn and Willow, blending alternative rock and metal with high-energy live performances. In this interview, they share the story behind their music, their creative process, and what's next for the band. Tori: Congrats on your new single “Betrayal”! Can you tell us about the story behind it and how it came together? Shawn: It began with me having an initial idea for most of the song. I knew what I wanted the lyrical theme to be, and the riffs and melodies followed that. Most of our songs begin with that anyway, and I record it all into my computer and send it off to Willow. Willow: When I got the first draft of the song, one of the first ideas I had was in the bridge. The original version that Shawn sent me did not have any vocals for the bridge, just the riff. Shawn straight up told me "Do something here". This gave me the space to come up with the bridge vocal part that thematically fit the song. Tori: What was the inspir...
