Female artists rule today’s edition of Weekly5 with overwhelming anthems, addictive grooves, exceptional melodies, experimental approaches, and haunting intimacy.

Mary Middlefield
Will you read my mind?

After the exquisite opulence of Bite Me, Mary Middlefield delivers again an absolutely stunning piece of art: Will you read my mind? flows smoothly into a larger-than-life, even flamboyant anthem without being overly pushy. This one smells like timelessness.

Duxius
Don’t Look (feat. Konrad Słoka)

Polish artist Edyta Rogowska-Żak, aka Duxius, collaborated with Konrad Słoka to create Don’t Look, hooking you immediately with its addictive groove and urge. Brilliantly playful guitars meet an unstoppable drive. This one pushes you ahead.

Negative White will host this track’s video premiere next Tuesday. Stay tuned!

Soft Loft
Pop Up

What can I still say about Soft Loft? They’re on an impeccable creative high, proving it once more with their new EP, Modern Roses, and the track Pop Up. Atmospheric, perfectly balanced, and played with sophisticated confidence. This one breaths perfection.

Solong
Happy Songs

Somewhere between art-pop, the craft of a singer-songwriter, and jazz influences roams Happy Songs by Swiss artist Solong. An air of restraint and softness—a whisper of experimentation— embraces this bold and meandering composition. This one takes time to bloom.

Tara Nome Doyle
Bad Days

Sparse and hauntingly intimate is Bad Days, a piercing love song by Tara Nome Doyle. „Bad days never felt this good before. When I’m down, you join me on the floor.“ The strings only add to the emotional drama conveyed by Doyle’s vocals. This one makes your heart bleed.
