“All The Other Kids” by CMON CMON drops a heartfelt ode to youthful nostalgic triumph
UK producer James Brown has wonderfully elucidated the Belgian quartet CMON CMON’s polished yet dynamic sound in their latest single, “All The Other Kids.” This song exemplifies their signature style, seamlessly blending lush melodies with a sense of intimacy. It creates an uplifting anthem of power pop brilliance that connects generations through its universality of youthful dreams and ordinary aspirations.

Recorded in the Netherlands and mixed in London, the track possesses an analog charm; mastered by Carl Saff, it wraps the entire composition in a timeless, expansive sonic landscape. This is a true testament to the international collaboration behind it.
What truly stands out about “All The Other Kids” is its poignant emotional storytelling. It explores teenage hopeful dreams from the perspectives of a starry-eyed 16-year-old and a reflective 46-year-old, bridging the innocence of youth with the wisdom that comes with experience. The juxtaposition of these viewpoints transforms the song into an emotional time capsule, where every lyric mirrors our hopes and regrets.
CMON CMON’s powerful delivery shines through as the upbeat guitar sounds swell into a euphoric crescendo: even the most ordinary dreams are worth cherishing. With the upcoming EP ‘Headwind’ promising to be a significant hit, “All The Other Kids” offers a memorable starting point that resonates with listeners of all ages.

Sofi Vonn creates cinematic intimacy with her captivating single “Selfish”
Sofi Vonn builds on the atmospheric exploration of her second EP, “Lucky with a Side of Depression,” by immersing you in a deep blend of nighttime feelings and electro-pop. “Selfish” was made in London with up-and-coming producer Malthus, and it captures the EP’s dreamy central theme.
Vonn’s take on pop is always deep and makes you think about yourself, and “Selfish” sums up the struggle between wanting to protect your heart and wanting to be recognized. The song takes you to a softly lit world of thought without making it louder. “Selfish” derives its power from restraint rather than loud rhythms or theatrical hooks.
Sofi Vonn shows that electronic pop can be deep, soulful, and emotional while still being classy. The single fits perfectly into the EP’s emotional framework, where longing meets awareness, desire meets consequence, and beauty meets pain. It’s late-night realism wrapped in dream-pop, and Vonn seems like the perfect person to represent this mix.
“Selfish” is a voice trying to be real, both with other people and, maybe more difficult, with itself. Vonn turns complicated things into simple ones, and in “Selfish,” Sofi Vonn shows that the modern pop scene still has room for subtlety, emotional depth, and authenticity that isn’t too flashy but still makes a big difference.
