"Boy" is the latest single from pop newcomer, Zerllia, released on March 14, 2025. The disco pop track is inspired by a culmination of her experiences in past relationships with people that often had this 'boy' mindset, and there really being this toxic infatuation. She channeled this frustration into an anthemic song, sassily clapping back at her exes for their behavior. For those who have their own stories about balancing love and self-preservation, this track is one that will resonate with you deeply. With a blend of snappy lyricism, danceable production, and bright vocals, "Boy" is a must-listen. The track kicks off with Zerllia singing about being in relationships with people who lied and cheated and lost her trust. In the earworming chorus, she rhetorically asks, "Why you gotta / Why you gotta / Why you gotta / Be a boy." As she puts it in this release, this 'boy' mindset can be toxic and manipulative. She gets candid about feeling hurt and like she was drowning, while also reclaiming her individualism. Blending electro-pop, R&B, and disco sounds, "Boy" is an engaging track that narrates Zerllia's journey from feeling so caught up in infatuation to recognizing that it wasn't really love. Zerllia is a rising pop artist from Sydney. She only put out her first track, "Ain't Going Home," in March of 2024. Her music tackles topics like love and self-discovery with multigenre-infused production and infectious pop hooks. Fans of other artists like Dua Lipa, Britney Spears, and The Weeknd will be drawn into Zerllia's bold approach to pop music.

Talie’s second single, “Midnight,” has been officially released. Written from what she believes to be her mother’s perspective, “Midnight” reflects on what Talie believes to be her mother’s experience raising two kids alone, with no family around to help. The frustration and the loneliness that comes from being tired of being put second pushes through in the first verse, however, when it comes to midnight, it’s the beginning of a new day. With hope that the old can change and not backing down from a fight, the hope that midnight will come and the day will start anew brings hope and the courage to keep fighting, even if you’re tired of it and want to give up. I really loved listening to Talie’s vocals throughout the song. She has a fantastic voice and really lets it shine, with the instrumentation adding more to the song rather than distracting from the lyrics or vocals, creating an effortless blend between the two that can be hard to achieve. Speaking of the instrumentation, the way that the music has been arranged shows the vibes of the song: frustration with circumstances yet not ready to give up quite yet. Not only that, but the music fits a late-night vibe that makes sense with the lyrics and the idea of meeting someone after midnight. “Midnight” really goes to show Talie’s potential as an artist, and with the effortless blend of her vocals and the music, “Midnight” shows that Talie is only going up from here. While this may only be her second single, Talie has been involved with music since she was young. Hailing from Pennsylvania, Talie grew up with music–she fondly remembers singing with her grandmother, who would accompany her on piano, finding her love of music through those bonding moments. These moments lead to her winning singing competitions, singing the national anthem at sold-out events, and playing leads in her school’s musicals. Taking the next step in her career, Talie released her first ever single, “ Forgot How to Feel , ” last year, and recently got her plaque for gaining over 100,000 subscribers on her YouTube, where she also does covers. You can keep up with Talie on her social media, linked down below. Written By Abby Mornhinweg FOLLOW TALIE: Instagram | Spotify  | TikTok  | Facebook  | YouTube

Cover art photoshoot director: Frank Lebon Lady Gaga is nothing less than an absolute icon and visionary, which is exactly why her newest album MAYHEM is a masterpiece. It debuted at number 1 in both the US and the UK, deservedly. Its a pop album that explores different subgenres in each track, which are more spellbinding than the last as you listen. T R A C K L I S T Disease Abracadabra Garden of Eden Perfect Celebrity Vanish Into You Killah (feat. Gesaffelstein) Zombieboy Lovedrug How Bad Do U Want Me Don't Call Tonight Shadow of a Man The Beast Blade of Grass Die With A Smile (with Bruno Mars) Lady Gaga has been a icon in the music industry for nearly twenty years. She was a breakout artist with her debut album The Fame , and since has sold out world tours and has shown everyone her endless talents, musical and acting wise, and her creativity and distinctiveness in the world of not just pop, but all kinds of music. She has countless hits and every album she releases is incredible. After The Fame , she released The Fame Monster and Born This Way , which skyrocketed her into becoming a music legend. She then released Artpop in 2013, yet another display of her talent and creativity. Since then, she has released two albums with jazz legend Tony Bennet, multiple soundtracks where she was the main artist featured, and Joanne and Chromatica . Disease MAYHEM  begins with “Disease”, which was the electrifying second single of the album that left everyone practically spellbound. You hit play on the single, which already shows Gaga laying on the hood of a car in the cover art, and just mere seconds into it, you’re hit with this powerful bass-heavy synth that’s played over and over. Then, Gaga’s impeccable and iconic voice drops in, and you immediately realize you’re about to listen to album of the year. Or maybe album of the decade. Century? The greatest ever? The lyrics are expertly written, and truly match the direction that the extraordinary production is going in.  Abracadabra You know you’re listening to a Gaga classic when she name drops herself in the lyrics; but that’s not the only way you can tell why “Abracadabra” became so popular upon its release. Not only did she debut the song and choreographic masterpiece of a music video during a Grammy’s commercial break, but just listening to “Abracadabra” makes you feel like you’re floating through space and time. The beat that drops after each chorus is teased in the beginning of the song, which sounds like something you’d hear at a rave along with a flurry of colorful laser beamed lights coming at you in every direction. Overall, this song is nothing less than absolute perfection. Garden of Eden “I’m falling over in my nine-inch heels” is a lyric in the first verse of “Garden of Eden”, and immediately sets it in stone that this song is nothing other than fantastic. There is a synth incorporated throughout the song with the volume of its bass turned all the way up and sounds reminiscent of an electric guitar. Then it turns into a more dance and disco-esque beat during the chorus, which ends off with slightly-spoken word from Gaga with the line “I’ll t-t-take you to the Garden of Eden”, which she defines as time spent with someone for a very short amount of time. Additional note: Gaga belting “C’mon” during the bridge was so beautiful. Perfect Celebrity The fourth track of Mayhem  is “Perfect Celebrity”. Intertwined is a sci-fi-esque synth and a reverberated guitar in the production. Gaga’s vocals climb up octaves in the opening of the song, starting off low, and then getting significantly higher right before the chorus, and then becoming even more powerful during the hook. The lyrics tell the story of the “perfect celebrity”, something Gaga has explained in the past she has felt she had to be for many years. With all the attention she has received since 2008, and even before, her and many other celebrities have felt they need to fit into a mold, even if it damages their mental health. Vanish Into You More dance and disco can be found on “Vanish Into You”. Funky, upbeat guitar chords and transcendent synths make up the production, but not without Gaga’s vocals of perfection and immense talent. The way she easily switch octaves so effortlessly just shows she’s one the greatest singers. “Can I vanish into you?” feels like another way to say “I love you”. When you love someone so much you consider them your other half, and you feel like you’re both the same person. In the lyrics, Gaga explains how she’s living in the moment and that she can tell she has found the love of her life. Co-written by her fiancé Michael Polansky, this isn’t the only love letter on Mayhem . Killah (feat. Gesaffelstein) Another funky baseline is present on “Killah” featuring Gesaffelstein. The expression “La petite mort” is a summarization of the lyrics, and the line “I’ma be your full-time bedroom demon” tells you everything you need to know about this song. Another fun synth can be located on this song as well, unique and well thought out synths being a recurring theme on this album. This shows the certain pop and dance influence that have maintained on the album and how they have persisted so much, even only six tracks into MAYHEM . Particularly, “Killah” contains a mixture of genres, especially industrial rock, such as with the steampunk drums and bass guitar chords. Zombieboy The vibes from “Killah” make a seamless transition over to “Zombieboy”, except we are met with a very upbeat and fun production to carry this pop sound that has been curated within the album. This song is about meeting someone that you know is like no other. I think a song with the title “Zombieboy” with corresponding lyrics but having this 80s style of instrumentation is distinctly unique. Also, the songwriting, just like the rest of the album, is amazing and the use of metaphors for the lyrics of this track prove that. Gaga's vocals are astonishing, and it’s like she sings every line of the song differently, and the harmonies toward the end of the song are perfect. LoveDrug Metaphors are still being expertly executed in “LoveDrug”. Like the title, this track aptly is about being in love with someone so much it feels like you're addicted to a drug, and they are the drug. You just can’t get enough of this person, and you don’t even want to try to stop. However, this song goes deeper than just attraction. When you’ve been hurt in the past, and you finally find the right person that makes you feel safe and you know won't hurt you, you don’t want to let go of them. When they make you happy and don’t make you feel bad about the person you are, you just want to be by their side all the time. Love is very powerful in more ways than one. How Bad Do U Want Me “How Bad Do U Want Me” is Gaga showing a more vulnerable side to her romantic interest. They are attracted to what she is like on the outside, and as she puts it, a “bad girl”, which represents the passion in their relationship. However, she wants them to know she is also a “good girl”, someone who is in touch with romance and wants to do typical things in a relationship - essentially, romantic things a “bad girl” may not want to do or may not seem like she wants to do. Gaga is telling this person that they need to love every side of her, and not just the one they were initially attracted to. She needs to be with someone that knows the importance of a relationship and romantic gestures. Don't Call Tonight In “Don’t Call Tonight”, Gaga is trying to pull away once and for all from a toxic relationship. This person doesn’t treat her like she should be treated, and she recognizes this. She is stuck in a cycle that she wants to get out of, where she thinks she’s being loved and then is being mistreated interchangeably. While it has been difficult for her to remove herself from this relationship, she knows it can end if this person leaves her alone. She has to let go of this person in order for her to live her life, which involves this person letting go of her, too. She loves someone who doesn’t love her back, and for the cycle to end, the relationship needs to end as well. Shadow Of a Man Being a woman in any industry definitely has its hardships, as most are run and dominated by men. It seems like they are able to call the shots, while women have to hide in the background. Gaga, however, pushed past this, and was able to overcome ostracization and rampant misogyny in the music industry, an industry where men are constantly favored and praised, while women receive endless amounts of hate and criticism. She didn’t let anything stop her from achieving her dreams and rising to success. No matter how hard she’s been pushed down, she’s always been able to get right back up and do what she wants and what she loves. The Beast “The Beast” opens with a very unique production style. A classic 90s beat is drowned out by an 808, which intensifies in the chorus. When drums are added in, its like it becomes its own synth, which was a very creative and original idea by those who produced this track. Then, suddenly, an electric guitar appears, and the song turns into this powerful showstopping ballad. It sounds like an organ, which makes you feel like you’re watching Phantom of the Opera . Sonically, the production truly feels like you’re seeing “The Beast” come to life. This can’t be done without another display of Gaga’s insane vocal range, and overall insane vocal talent. Blade Of Grass The penultimate track is “Blade of Grass”, which starts out as a piano ballad. Then, once the chorus starts, the strums of a guitar are introduced. In the second verse, the powerful drums we’ve heard before are brought back. In the second chorus, a wobbling synth is added to the production. The production builds upon itself as the song advances, one of my favorite types of production styles, as well as many others' favorite. Although this isn’t the final track, it definitely makes sense why the track was placed toward the end of the album. “Blade of Grass”, musically and lyrically, is the hero receiving a triumphant victory. Overall, it’s a very beautiful song with a gorgeous melody. Die With A Smile (with Bruno Mars) We have reached the end of MAYHEM , and the last track is the album’s first single that has took over the world ever since it was released. The guitar ballad and declaration of true love with Gaga and Bruno Mars shows that two of the some of the most talented musicians and singers should have collaborated on a song years ago, and there’s every reason this track became as internationally acclaimed as it did. “Die With A Smile” is a “'till death do us part” love letter that expresses a never-ending unbreakable connection between two soulmates. Realizing you love someone so much that you can’t be apart or it would break you. Like I said before, this is album of the year, and in my opinion, one of the greatest of all time. This album is absolute perfection. I have been a little monster since 2008, and even though I was only four, I knew what an icon was, and I could tell it was Lady Gaga. Seventeen years later, and that has still never changed, and definitely not now. Every time I listen to this album, which has already been a lot of times, I can't help but freak out. The production, the vocals, the lyrics - everything is just 10/10, no notes. Lady Gaga is a legend and MAYHEM only adds to that.

When you think you’ve found the person you want to be with forever, it’s hard to let them go. Relationships are all consuming and “blissful ignorance” by Natalie Barth explores that even though a relationship is over, she chooses to stay oblivious and naive as a way of coping with the breakup. Instead of creating new memories with her ex, she’s holding on to what they had. The song opens with “Sitting on the floor, sharing takeout in our apartment/ Never felt secure with anyone before we started” which gives us an insight as to what their relationship looked like. "Every garden had a rose” is a lyric that represents optimism. There’s a famous saying that “every garden has its thorn” but Natalie’s lyrics contradict it. She’s saying that there’s a rose in every garden which shows that she can find the beauty in everything.

It’s an emotional song with acoustic elements serving as the foundation of the track. An interesting producing choice is the other sounds and effects used in the making of the song. It gives the song a new feel, and it’s something I haven’t heard in many acoustic tracks. It definitely makes this song stand out. Natalie is a very talented singer. She’s able to convey her emotions perfectly through her singing. Natalie Barth is a singer-songwriter from North Carolina.

In the era of Billie Eillish, Olivia Rodrigo and other "sad girl pop" artists comes Vitalia and her song "Insecure." This is a song for the people who can't help overthinking or spiraling when it comes to love. What adds the most emotional depth in this song is how Vitalia is speaking on these traits as well as being in a toxic relationship. Vitalia reaches into the hearts of listeners at the beginning of every verse with lyrics lik e "I know she's just a friend, but..." using this as a way to show how she spirals by picturing her current partner with another person. Vitalia brings realistic and honest writing to pop music with an emotional intensity that any listener would be able to relate to. In the beginning of "Insecure," viewers are introduced to Vitalia's idea of overthinking right from the get-go. She whispers over the music "You're not good enough" and "You're better off without him" amplifying how much she's living in her head with these ideas. The music at the top feels eerie as if something is lurking beside us as we listen but it quickly turns into a synthetic emotional pop song. What Vitalia brings to the table that feels different from other artists in this genre is the upmost raw honesty in her lyrics. The mood of this song exudes intense jealousy over a fun pop beat that makes it an emotional rollercoaster from start to finish. Vitalia is a Ukranian-Canadian singer-songwriter and actress who has come a long way from her start at just six years old. She claims that her sound is ever-evolving, which some artists really tend to strive for but might have a hard time executing - something that Vitalia isn't afraid of comitting to. With music that is a blend of pop, alternative and rock, she is comitted to pushing her boundaries to what her music can do. Her first ever EP is set to release in April 2025 diving into themes of love, longing and self-reflection. She's also already doing the groundwork for an album with the vibes for a "hot girl summer."

Get lost in the beautiful unknown with the vivacious pop-dance track “Blue Light” by artist Laila. “Blue Light” takes listeners on a journey through a cautionary tale that details both the confusion and awe behind a thrilling, young relationship. Laila dives into the story headfirst, laying out the relationship from start to finish from the moment “Blue Light” begins playing. Meeting at a time when she feels courageous & curious, Laila describes meeting someone who she once had a fun connection with and is now left grieving the relationship. Although she acknowledges that some of the choices she made with this person were mistakes, ultimately, she is left on her own to figure out how to prevent something like that happening to her again moving forward. While “Blue Light” includes unfortunate circumstances, the song overall reminds me of a feeling of lightheartedness & ease that comes with the summer season. Carefree and whimsical in nature, the track urges you to dance and serves as a gentle reminder to trust your gut. “Blue Light” embodies a common, persistent issue in society – people not stepping up for others when they need to. While Laila recognizes that this connection is not rooted in something serious, the partner being spoken about in “Blue Light” consistently leaves her on her own and only pays attention to her when it benefits them. This behavior is unfortunately very recognizable in society today and Laila’s emotion in this song, alongside the dance-pop sound of “Blue Light”, makes the track exactly how it should be. Similar to young relationships, “Blue Light” explores difference and leaves you wondering what’s next as you’re listening to it. While it’s a fun, energetic piece of pop music, it delves into subject matter that is below the surface. Laila beautifully displays how a relationship, even if two people aren’t committed to one another and/or are just “having fun”, needs to have proper communication and trust in the other person. This aspect not only sets “Blue Light” apart from “pop break up” songs, but additionally shows her personality and ability to dive into emotion while writing. Laila Kharouba is a bisexual actress, singer, and songwriter of Palestinian-Canadian descent. Finding passion for acting at an early age, Laila started performing in a professional musical theatre in Toronto, Canada by age 13. Upon graduating from the Queen’s University Dan School of Drama & Music, Laila focused solely on acting. Following her graduation, she went on to star across from Sex and the City’s Kim Catrall in the Netflix TV series “Glamorous”.
