Arran Sym Unveils Fascinating New Single “Fire on Me”
Rising artist, producer and multi-instrumentalist Arran Sym, who hails from Scotland and is now based in Japan, has debuted his new single, “Fire on Me”, which is taken from his forthcoming album, Beauty Valley, due for release on 26th November. Having spent the last few years building his résumé as a producer and working with artists from all around the world, Arran is now making strides as an artist in his own right following the release of his debut EP, 1000 Micrograms of Love, last year. “Fire on Me” looks set to continue his rise and marks him out as one to watch.
Having been around music since his early days in Scotland, Arran showcases his full range of talent on “Fire on Me”, with the track perfectly highlighting his versatility as a producer. Although previously spending a lot of time producing for various hip-hop artists, “Fire on Me” is an alternative lo-fi dark pop song. Stepping outside the box, the atmospheric track commands attention from the opening seconds, standing out with its hypnotic instrumental, catchy melodies and Arran’s captivating vocal performance.
Speaking further on the release, Arran says, “The song is about a girl being unsure of what she wants and me gaining the self-confidence to not accept the energy and pressure that she is putting on me. It was a song that was created in a moment of flow state. I started with the main synth bassline and drums and then added some guitars and vocal harmonies.
“When I made the instrumental, I was just inspired to freestyle some vocals and the result was basically the entire song coming from the first take. The song was created in a very short space of time, maybe an hour or two. Then I spent some time tweaking and crafting it on and off over the following weeks.”
A triple threat who can do it all, it’s clear Arran Sym has a huge future ahead of him as a singer, songwriter and producer, so he will most certainly be one to pay close attention to over the next year and beyond. And with a growing list of production credits for other artists under his belt and more new music of his own lined up for release, he has no plans of slowing down anytime soon. “Fire on Me” is available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/arransym/fire-on-me.

Roxy Rawson Finds Light in the Shadows with “I Found a Place in the Woods”
Music is very sacred because it can convey both pain and peace simultaneously. Roxy Rawson‘s new single, “I Found a Place in the Woods,” does just that. This haunting, ethereal masterpiece by well-known composer Jherek Bischoff is out now on November 7th. It’s an emotional landscape made up of solitude, strength, and quiet rebirth. Roxy Rawson transforms folklore into a deeply personal story about her own journey through divorce and starting anew, inspired by the fairy tale “The Three Ravens.” The song takes you to a magical place where loss and healing meet, where grief slowly gives way to hope under the cover of old trees.
Bischoff’s production is both rich and delicate. It layers Rawson’s angelic voice over haunting strings and textures that seem to breathe with life. The song has an organic stillness to it, like being in the woods after a storm, when all you can hear is the rustling of leaves and the sound of your own heartbeat. Roxy’s voice is both weak and strong, like sunlight coming through branches after a long night. Every lyric feels like it was meant to be, and every pause makes you think. It’s the sound of finding yourself again in nature’s quiet embrace, a moment of giving up that turns into a song of survival.
Rawson doesn’t just give you a melody with “I Found a Place in the Woods.” She provides a safe place for you to go. It’s the kind of song that sticks with you long after it ends, like a memory of finding peace in the middle of chaos. This song is one of Roxy Rawson’s most personal and mighty works to date. It’s perfect for fans of ethereal storytelling, cinematic folk, and emotional honesty. It reminds us that beauty can flourish even in the face of loss, and that sometimes healing begins with simply finding a quiet place to be.
