“i don’t like being left behind” opens in swirls and spirals, an ambient wash of synths that feel almost video game–esque. It is dreamy and atmospheric, yet it carries a pulse that instantly catches your attention. Leyla Ebrahimi’s voice enters with a softness that glows against the production. Even in these early moments, the track makes its intentions clear. This is indie alternative at its core, but it welcomes pop influences with open arms.

f you have not listened to Milahroy yet, we suggest adding him to your playlist right now. His new album, Give In To Let Go (The Falling), is the perfect introduction to an artist who’s stepping into his most honest, intentional, and emotionally charged era yet. What began as a tight and intimate EP has now evolved into a complete story with three new tracks that deepen the world he built back in June when we first featured him.

Sienna Spiro’s “Die on This Hill” begins with a quiet magnetism that feels instantly inviting. A single piano line opens the door and her voice steps in with striking richness. It is warm, resonant, and full of a clarity that draws you in immediately.

Kelly Reynolds, the rising New Jersey artist signed to Moto Records, opens 2025 with a single that feels like a deep breath and a gut punch all at once. “Ready Now” is her first release of the year, and if you love indie storytellers like Leith Ross or Madison Cunningham, she needs to be on your radar immediately. She has only been releasing music for a little over a year, but “Ready Now” shows an artist who already knows exactly what she wants to say. The track pulls you in

The singles “Landslide,” “Garbage,” and “West Coast” already hinted at what wa

SoundCheck recently caught up with Grammy-nominated artist, BJRNCK to discuss her highly-anticipated new album, due later this year. After stepping away for a much-needed creative reset, she’s returning with a project that’s both deeply personal and universal, infused with honesty and soul.

Louis Knight is a singer/songwriter that leaves you with something to carry. British-born and Philly-raised, he first caught attention on American Idol, but it’s the music that came after that’s carved out his place. His songs feel like late-night conversations, the ones you remember long after the lights go out.

SoundCheck Mag sat down with Leith Ross, and we couldn’t be more excited. With new projects on the horizon and her upcoming album, “I Can See The Future,” she gave us a glimpse into a future fans will want to be part of.
