Peter Gabriel – “I Belong To The Sky”
Peter Gabriel has released a new song. It's called “I Belong To The Sky” and is the new taste of “o/i”, the album expected by the end of the year. The song was initially conceived during the “i/o” sessions, released in 2023, but has only now been completed. The British musician himself considers it special: “It's one of my favorite songs ever.”
Charlie XCX – “Wink Wink”
Less than a month after the release of the new album “Music, Fashion, Film”, scheduled for July 24, Charli XCX has released the new single “Wink Wink”, accompanied by the related official video clip.
Surprisingly announced just an hour before release, the song comes with a video directed by Aidan Zamiri. In the film, the British singer moves between countryside landscapes and scenes of everyday life: she picks and eats strawberries in a field, cleans large windows and walks on rooftops, while singing about having left the image of the “bad girl” behind.

PJ Harvey – “Voyager”
PJ Harvey returns with new music and opens a new chapter in his artistic journey. The English singer-songwriter released “Voyager”, a song inspired by the historic Voyager 1 and 2 probes launched by NASA in 1977 and still traveling in interstellar space today. Accompanying the release is a video directed by physicist, television commentator and musician Brian Cox, who played a decisive role in the birth of the project. The song was already in development as part of the material for PJ Harvey's next album when Cox asked her for input on his “Emergence” show. From that comparison emerged the idea of connecting the song to the Voyager probes and their signals sent towards Earth.
Julia Holter – “Fantasy”
Two years after “Something In The Room She Moves”, Julia Holter has announced the new album “Materia”, out on August 21st via Domino Recording Company. The album is presented as a complementary work to the previous one and anticipated by the single “Fantasy”, already available together with a video clip directed by Dicky Bahto. Speaking about the song, Holter said that it was the most complex piece of the entire project: “This song, which gives the impression of voluntary abandonment, was actually the most laborious on the album. It required over a year of work and numerous transformations. I love this contradiction.” The artist described “Fantasy” as a dancing and almost evocative piece, however crossed by a subtle tension: “Among the momentum of the daydream there is the line 'blink at the light and hope to survive', because even fantasizing can be disturbing in a fascist state. I was looking for the right rhythm, bright but not naive”.

Editors – “The Rush”
The Editors are back with a new album. The band led by Tom Smith will release “Surface, Echo & Sound” on October 30th, the British band's eighth studio work and first recording chapter after “EBM” in 2022. Accompanying the announcement also comes the single “The Rush”, available together with a video clip shot in Tokyo and directed by Henry Ehara (see below).
Chelsea Wolfe – “Death Is Not The End”

The Californian singer-songwriter and musician will perform on Saturday 12 December at the Live Club in Trezzo sull'Adda, just outside Milan, accompanied by the British multi-instrumentalist AA Williams as special guests.
The announcement comes alongside the release of new music. Wolfe has in fact shared the single “Death Is Not The End”, one of the first pieces of the project that will lead to his ninth studio album.
