Enda Gallery Shares Stunning New EP ‘Liberation’

‘Liberation’ is the new EP by Irish artist Enda Gallery, a record of stunning intensity, beauty, and potency. It is a musical recollection of a journey undertaken by a skilful songwriter.

When Enda released his debut album ‘The Journey to Zero’ in April 2020, the Irish artist had already collaborated with the likes of Kid Simius, Dead Rabbit, Nobody’s Face and written/produced for Tolü Makay, Wilzee and Strange Boy. His history of producing and enabling these unconventional artists across many genres have gifted him the thoughtful capability to mix his skills, self-determination, and empathy with a mastery of his own presence inside of a song. This combination results in his ‘Liberation’ EP, which is a truly sincere and compassionate collection of songs filled with vigour and lushness.

On ‘Old Fashioned’, we are treated to the euphoric essence of Berlin – rapturous, blissful, and emotionally delicate all in the same breath. Enda Gallery sings over a pulsing clubland style piano loop “In the city of hoping, in the city of the fear/ In the city of floating, you make me want to be Old Fashioned”. It’s a love song to everything Enda Gallery has found in his secondary home in the German capital.

Enda Gallery is an artist with a real purpose, and that is to create beautiful and liberating art. He takes influence from genre-defying artists such as Frank Ocean and Prince – mixed with the deep sincerity of Sufjan Stevens, Alicia Keys and even Freddie Mercury. Through this sense of creative deliverance, we hear his truest realisations and experiences with songs such as ‘Super Raw’ and ‘This Is That Moment’. Marinated in flavours of soul, hip hop, techno, and gospel we are left with songs which peel back the layers of self-incrimination and personal disenfranchisement. The highly danceable title track ‘I Want Liberation’ is exemplary in showcasing Enda Gallery’s finesse for uplifting and gracious pop songs.

MIVA unveils a soft texture with an unexpected grit on latest release “Do You”

“Do You,” an alternative R&B track, evokes a compelling sense of motion, MIVA, one that finds itself comfortably between familiar textures and surprising production choices. The Montreal-based artist, producer, songwriter, and visual artist considers music part of a larger world where sound, fashion, and cinematic storytelling converge.

The production doesn’t want to stay still, not least through the saxophone, which gradually mutates into something like an electric guitar. It’s an odd detail that gives the arrangement an evolving character without detracting from its alternative R&B foundation. Vocal fry adds an unexpected metal influence to the track, adding some grit and tension below the softer textures.

MIVA allows different influences to coexist in the same space rather than being defined by a single, obvious musical direction. The result is a very identity-driven track, with a hypnotic rhythm, expressive vocals, and production choices that keep the listener on their toes throughout. “Do You” is a showcase of MIVA as an artist who is unafraid to explore the space between softness and intensity, offering an alternative R&B experience with its own character.

With “A New Frame of Mind” EP, We Told You So finds strength in loss, friendship, and change

Growth comes with loss, hard realizations, changing relationships, and the uncomfortable process of learning how to keep going when life refuses to slow down. That tension is central to “A New Frame of Mind” by We Told You So, an EP that draws from personal experience and turns it into a larger story of resilience, friendship, grief, independence, and the courage to start over.

Opening the EP is the track “Anchor in the Storm,” a particularly important, very personal tribute, written during a period of loss. This song is about how important the people in our lives are for keeping us anchored when our world feels shaky. Followed by “Echoes of Resilience,” which takes that sense of connection and extends it from the struggles of one individual to the struggles of others. The perspective is the frustration of seeing pain from afar but choosing to cling to hope.

Meanwhile, “Last for Long” ups the energy, celebrating friendships that endure tough seasons and stay when circumstances change. “Running Out of Time” is a reminder of the band’s DIY, small-town indie roots and the realization that you have to chase your dreams before the chance is gone. Next up is “Season of Change,” which is more introspective, exploring family, aging, and the inevitability of change as we grow older.

The EP’s French-language track, “Pas Besoin de Toé,” further links the record to We Told You So’s roots in Trois-Rivières, Québec, and also speaks to independence and the decision to cut toxic influences out of your life. From there, “Time to Rise” embodies the project’s essence, from individual struggle to collective action and self-belief.

Closing the EP is “My Last Verse,” which works through its pain to clarity. At the end, We Told You So is making a record about choosing what happens next. It’s gritty when it needs to be, introspective when it wants to be, and optimistic without being naive. The EP is based on the idea that moving on is an act of strength in itself.
