With his new EP, Hope She Hears This, Tottenham’s breakout R&B talent Nippa offers an unfiltered journey through heartbreak, vulnerability, and self-discovery. This is what it means to share too much, too honestly—and why he’s choosing to do it anyway.

Nowhere does that hit harder than on ‘155 in Paris’, a track he almost cut from the EP entirely. “I didn’t want it on there. I fought it. That line—‘It’s you’—it scared the shit out of me. That’s not usually me. Usually I’m like, ‘fuck this, I’m good without it.’ This was different.”He pauses. “It was 1:55am in Paris, and I realised I cared. That this relationship mattered. That was the moment. And it was terrifying to admit.”It’s not the kind of thing he’s written before—and he knows it.

Years after breaking up, indie-pop four-piece The Walters discovered fame through a single viral hit. Their unexpected reunion has led to the album they always dreamed of releasing. When The Walters quietly dissolved in 2017, none of the band members could have predicted they'd find themselves at the heart of a viral sensation five years later. In fact, they'd barely spoken since their breakup.

Improvised music rarely survives beyond the moment but désert — a wordless, instinctive collaboration between Jean-Michel Blais and Lara Somogyi — refused to disappear, they tell Max Gayler. Captured in a single session surrounded by the expansive badlands of Joshua Tree, Jean-Michel Blais and Lara Somogyi's remarkable désert became an album only after the fact. It wasn’t supposed to be an album.

As a music journo you get sent a lot of music. A LOT. Sam's has really consumed me this past week. It's hypnotic, empty, stimulating, all the artsy fartsy adjectives. On top of that he's a really nice guy. Read about his life in music and what's coming next.

In his first-ever interview, Sam Beste unravels the emotional and political depth of Under a Familiar Sun, the new record from @thevernonspring, in conversation with @maxgayler https://t.co/cqfSeDyLtO

Joel's the first artist I've spoken to who broke out using social media. Honestly, I didn't know if the conversation would be more about engagement than emotion, but fuck me was I wrong. Joel is the real deal and cares more about moving people more than making them follow him.

From viral covers that dominate Booktok to world-building compositions that sell out tours, 23-year-old violinist Joel Sunny (@joelsvnny) has become an unlikely popstar without singing a single word, writes @maxgayler https://t.co/FpAKAhS18D https://t.co/YdS1HRN14O

I got to speak to @Mereba! Not going to gush too much on the timeline but I've been a fan for a long time and she was so stupidly kind. This new record of hers is going to turn heads too so reserve some time on valentine's day to get ahead of the curve.

With her second album The Breeze Grew a Fire, @Mereba leans into stories of kinship, resilience, and rebirth – but it's the warmth of her roots and the weight of her purpose that make the Alabama songwriter stand out, writes @maxgayler https://t.co/Xd36jiWq6y https://t.co/l9vUTUJtuP
