Scotland's Vistas returned last week with news of their second full length album. Coinciding with the announcement the band have also shared their latest single Stuck In Your Head'. Speaking about the album, frontman Prentice Robertson said: "It’s incredibly clichéd to call album two “the difficult second album” but I think that description really does ring true. When I sat down at the start of 2020 to try and write some new music there was so much uncertainty in my life. Our first record wasn’t released yet and I didn’t know how that would be received or where we would end up once it was out. As 2020 progressed it would be safe to say that this sense of uncertainty grew (for obvious reasons) and I think this is where the second album came from. Looking for some kind of answer is the common thread that runs through this album. On our debut, we focused on the transition from our teenage years into adulthood and on this album we asked the question: “now that you’re here, what it is that you want?”. All the tracks on this record look at something where uncertainty plays a large role and we felt the title ‘What Were You Hoping to Find?’ summed up the sentiment of the album as a whole. We ask a lot of questions across this album and I think it has helped us to answer them for ourselves." Take a listen for yourselves below. The new album What Were You Hoping To Find? Set for release 20 August 2021 via Believe.

London's Sad Boys Club returned last week with their nostalgic new single Can't Help Myself. Written about an existential crisis, the track's uplifting nature adds a new dynamic to what would be an otherwise less than joyous topic through infectious melodies and anthemic choruses. Speaking about 'Can't Help Myself’, frontman Jacob Wheldon says: "There have been periods that have felt so monotonous to us this year, we wanted to do something that fizzed and got us going about it, revelling in it, some manic melancholy".

Taken from her forthcoming new album 'Memory Girl' due out July 30th, last week saw Natalie McCool unveil her stunning new single Heaven. Built around an effervescent melody line, the track delivers a wholesome sound that's primed in pop perfected energy. Having first discovered her sound in 2014 through her single Dig It Out, it's been a pleasure to watch the unravelling developments and this latest effort adds another glowing mighty fine string to her bow. Speaking about the new album, she said, "Memory Girl is about childhood and adulthood. Songs that feel introspective. Songs about not having a voice, finding a voice, jealousy, love, loss and peace. It's about things that have left a deep mark on you one way or another, those moments from the past that hit you and knock you sideways, either making you laugh out loud or nearly die of embarrassment. It has a strong focus on the habits and mental state of myself and those very close to me. It's really close and introspective. It’s about discovering yourself, recognising what's good for you and what's not - it's about learning curves." Take a listen for yourselves below.
