CHANDRA unveils a heartfelt sonic brilliance with its debut EP, “Lifted”
Bristol’s emerging pop-rock sensation CHANDRA, a dynamic quartet fronted by the charismatic Chandra Naiir, has recently unleashed its highly anticipated debut EP, “Lifted.” This masterpiece, recorded in Chandra’s personal studio, represents the band’s official foray to impact the music scene significantly. It embodies a rich tapestry of emotions, introspection, and celebration, delivering diverse sounds that seamlessly traverse the landscape of classic rock and pop influences infused with a timeless touch of soulful musical vibes. Drawing inspiration from legends like Bowie, The Beatles, and The Carpenters, CHANDRA infuses a fresh, invigorating twist to these classic influences, amalgamating them into something novel, innovative, and uplifting.
The EP “Lifted” comprises six intricately crafted tracks, all penned by CHANDRA, who co-produced the EP alongside Aaron Shawn and Elliot Vaughan. The EP kicks off with the impactful track “Smile (No Fox Gibbon),” a poignant appeal for love and humanity. The song features a compelling flute melody that immediately captures attention and encourages listeners to embrace empathy in a world that often undervalues these principles. This track effectively combines thought-provoking lyrics with an immersive musical backdrop, establishing the thematic direction for the rest of the album.
Following this, the EP progresses into the second track, “Pretty,” a triumphant anthem challenging societal norms on beauty standards and celebrating diversity while embracing their authentic selves. CHANDRA’s masterful storytelling continues with “I’ll Be There,” a track brimming with optimism and the enduring spirit of illumination amidst life’s chaotic darkness, offering a reassuring message of unity.
The EP’s fourth and titular track, “Lifted,” encapsulates the euphoria of life’s simple pleasures, creating vivid imagery of carefree days spent with loved ones. As the EP approaches its compelling conclusion, “Lighters To The Sky (EP Version)” and the finale track “Overload” invite listeners into introspective refresh soundscapes. Featuring guitar contributions from Dean McCreadie and mastered by Stephen Kerrison, “Lifted” is a must-listen for anyone craving introspective charm wrapped in a contemporary pop-rock package. Dive into this sonic exploration, and allow yourself to be Lifted.

The trapheaux gracefully glides over in new release “Marble Floors”
Trapheauxly’s latest release, “Marble Floors,” is a smooth, seductive single that combines clean, complex rap verses with melodic R&B. The song’s production, soulful vocal harmonies, and steady rhythmic pulse create a luxurious yet emotionally grounded atmosphere. All of these elements work together to create this atmosphere.
The most impressive aspect of it is the way it shifts from a catchy melodic hook to a rapid-fire delivery of the lyrics. One moment, “Marble Floors” is silky smooth, and the next, it is razor sharp. This contrast is what gives the musical its identity.
When it comes to lyrical concerns of intimacy, devotion, and elevated aesthetics, the image of marble floors appears, time and time again, as a symbol of elegance and emotional weight.

NIHLNØTHING unleashes increased tides on new release “ocean” Power
NIHLNØTHING’s latest release, “Ocean” is a powerful, immersive single that defies classification as heavy music. The track sounds huge, punishing, and emotionally complex, as the title promises, drawing on post-metal, alternative metal, sludge, groove metal, metalcore, and deathcore.
A sense of depth makes “ocean” appealing. The song balances atmosphere and intensity like a violent current under calm waters. This track has towering sonic weight and textured melodic darkness, suggesting it can go from hypnotic tension to explosive release in a heartbeat.
Genre DNA enables NIHLNØTHING to create something expansive. It has sludge, groove, metalcore urgency, and a post-metal mood that’s probably more than aggression. NIHLNØTHING excels in contrasting crushing weight with atmosphere, chaos with control, and brutality with reflection. Balance distinguishes loud from powerful music.
