RxL World Share New Winter Anthem “Winter Time”
UK duo RxL World have returned with their brand-new single, “Winter Time”. The rising Londoners have been going from strength to strength since arriving on the scene in 2019 and have had an impressive momentum-building 2021 with hits such as “Magnums”, paving the way for “Winter Time”, which is set to be their biggest release yet.
As the winter approaches, the track couldn’t be better timed. With a mellow production intertwined with smooth rap flows and gorgeous silky vocals in the chorus, the track continues RxL World’s brand of combining rap and R&B with an afro-twist inspired by their African descents – Reece is Ghanaian and Lorenzo is Angolan. Combining all of these elements makes for a truly fascinating listen that has captured audiences early on.
Speaking further on the new release, RxL World say, “‘Winter Time’ is about escaping the dark and cold of the winter time and going somewhere hot with your bae. There is never a better time to go on a sunshine holiday than the winter time. We came across the beat whilst we were in the studio finishing off another song and we really liked it. On the way home whilst the beat was playing, Reece wrote a banging verse and Lorenzo came up with the hook but didn’t think it would be right for him to sing it, so we drafted in the help of our friend Selz, who was able to bring the magic and bring the chorus to life.”
With catchy melodies, clever punchlines and a vibrant energy that they bring to each release, it’s clear RxL World have a bright future, with “Winter Time” decisively marking the pair out as ones to watch. “Winter Time” is available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://bfan.link/winter-time.

“Hell has frozen over” finds Sarina choosing peace over being understood
Sarina’s new track, “Hell has frozen over,” explores the less dramatic, more complicated moment of reaching the end of the road, being gaslit, ignored, rejected, and painfully lonely. It translates the emotional burnout into a rock-pop context that’s easy to understand.
“Hell has frozen over” focuses on the decision to step away, instead of explaining, defending, or seeking understanding from people who refuse to listen. The rock foundation gives it the right weight, the pop influence makes it accessible, and the focus stays on the emotional message.
Sarina’s art is the struggle of loss and being strong in yourself. It’s about understanding that protecting your peace is more important than being understood. And that’s the emotional balance that gives the release its character so that the subject matter has relevance beyond a particular circumstance.
“Hell has frozen over“ is a relief from the burden of carrying on a debate that will never be resolved. Sarina turns an experience of isolation into a statement about boundaries, resilience, and the choice not to get caught in the same cycle. The result is a record that’s at its best when it’s being true to what it feels like to finally be free from whatever has been holding you down.

Girlhood finds summer warmth and quiet freedom on “Lemon Aid”
“Lemon Aid“ is a warm indie-pop ballad from Girlhood that finds comfort in the ordinary and weaves in a sense of release. This song is about surrendering to the moment, finding space to breathe, and letting a little lightness back in. This reflective core is surprising, given the warm summer-night feel of the track, hinting at a moment of emotional rebalancing.
Singer-songwriter Natalie Holmes has a tender personality and fronts the slow-burning “Lemon Aid.” The production supports that softness, keeping the song’s gentle mood and intimate direction front and center. Beneath the comfort is a thoughtful examination of pressure, transition, and the need to pause.
The song’s link to the streets of Stroud offers yet another layer of art to the work. Familiar places can mean something when life feels uncertain, and the emotional scene involves storefronts, parks, cafes, and leafy, winding streets. “Lemon Aid“ searches for beauty in everyday places and rituals, finding still moments that mean something without getting carried away.
The track is the first release of Girlhood’s forthcoming album, “This Will Make Sense In The End,” a more reflective chapter with hope at its heart. “Lemon Aid” is about softness, conjuring a space where dancing, wandering, and just existing can feel like a cure. It’s an unleashing of small observations and soft emotional movement and a clear indication of the thoughtful direction that Girlhood is heading next.
