Birmingham-based rapper M1llionz has just released his fresh new cut, “Regular Bag” – and it hasn’t disappointed.

Boasting her ethereal vocals and a hazy-toned backing, artist Abby Sage is making waves with her new cut, “Residing in the Sky”. An ode to the importance of self-love, the soft sounds of acoustic instrumentation and Abby’s Billie Eilish-esque sound culminate in a sorrowful soundscape. And, with the latest track having been picked straight from the artist’s upcoming EP “Fears of Yours & Mine”, it becomes all the more exciting.

Ending this week’s round-up on an uplifting note is the rising star Charlotte Jane with her shimmering track, “Loving The Light”. With her knack for crafting lyrics evident in her polished pop cuts, she instantly cements herself as one of the industry’s rising names.

When speaking on her latest release, the artist claimed, “I’m rarely one to write happy songs but this one came at a time where I desperately needed to look for the positives amongst everything that was going on in my life. It’s continued to serve as a reminder to me, through a lot of shit that’s happened since, that no matter how bad things get there’s always something to be grateful for. I listen to this song more than I ever have with anything I’ve released previously. I genuinely love jamming to it.”
