Jay Productions And Mars Unveil Epic Banger “5 to 9” From New EP
Rising UK musicians Jay Productions and Mars have teamed up for their brand-new EP, BIPOLAR, which is led by new single “5 to 9”. The single arrives with accompanying visuals directed by 1Time Productions and hosted on GRM Daily.
British rapper/songwriter Mars and producer/singer/songwriter Jay Productions have already had plenty of early success so far – their previous collaboration “Made It” was supported across UK radio and also featured on US rapper The Game’s mixtape End Games Vol. 3. Having been heavily supported by the likes of BBC Asian Network and BBC Radio 1, Jay Productions is quickly making a name for himself in the UK and international music scene. Another collaborative effort with Mars in 2021 (“We Ain’t The Same”) alongside Sukhraj and Ello S has already racked up hundreds of thousands of streams.
The two London-based talents are set to achieve even greater levels of success with the release of “5 to 9”, the lead single from BIPOLAR. The track speaks about their dedication and work ethic, which will surely be a fuel for inspiration and motivation among listeners. Elaborating further, Jay Productions says, “‘5 to 9’ is about achieving your goals no matter what it takes. It’s a spin off the word 9am-5pm as that’s the normal working hours but being an artist/producer, hours can be 5am-9pm sometimes. It’s a play on the words but at the same time it shows the truth behind constantly striving to work and reach our dreams.”
BIPOLAR features six tracks in total that span UK hip-hop, rap and drill and highlight their huge talents – from their clever punchlines, great penmanship and hard-hitting rap flows to Jay Productions’ versatile and dynamic productions. It’s clear they are both forces to be reckoned with and will be ones to watch out for in the UK scene and beyond over the next year as they continue to build on their growing momentum. “5 to 9” and the rest of BIPOLAR are available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/marsandjayproductions/bipolar.

Lana Crow turns challenges into a celebration with “Laugh With You”
“Laugh With You,” the latest single from Lana Crow, is a sincere rallying cry to embrace life in all its messy, beautiful mess. In the song, indie pop and alt-pop combine to deliver an emotional blow that feels both personal and universal.
“Laugh With You” feels like an instant connection, and Crow is telling you stories of hard times with a cozy, knowing smile. This song is as much about struggle as it is about how strong you are. It serves as a reminder that these struggles are simply what give us the strength to keep going, even when life is tough.
Crow encourages people to welcome them, create happiness in the cracks, and laugh even as the world gets heavy. The result is a song that delicately nudges you to love and embrace yourself. It is an anthem for anyone experiencing tough times who refuses to give up hope. Lana Crow continues to demonstrate her songwriting skills, both musically pleasing and emotionally rich, with “Laugh With You.”
It’s a reminder that it’s how we respond to tough times, rather than how they affect us, that’s key. With this song, not only does Crow provide us with music, but she also lets us know that sometimes a laugh is what we need to remember that there is always something to smile about and that, even when it feels like life has waged war against you, laughter can still be found.

Lisa Boostani creates a mesmerizing tidal realm in “Ocean”
Lisa Boostani’s “Ocean” takes you deep into a sensory world where body, spirit, and myth come together, beyond the surface of genre. Boostani makes a soundscape that is both ethereal and deeply human by combining the broad essence of psychedelic pop with the strong appeal of alternative rock.
Her voice rises as if it is coming from deep within her, shaped by emotion rather than action. She intentionally channels the intangible, turning weakness into strength rather than a source of pain, and “Ocean” tells people to get involved in this inner world, not just watch it. This release is an integral part of her first EP, “One,” which will come out in March 2026 and is based on love, sensuality, and unity.
If “Ocean” is any indication, the EP will show sensuality not as something pretty, but as a kind of spiritual intelligence, a way to know yourself by connecting with others. The song’s textures and structure have an aquatic quality, moving between clarity and delirium, rhythm and freedom. Its emotional focus is on immersion instead of resolution.
The striking quality of “Ocean” is the blend of the mystical worlds. Boostani understands that strength often shows up as gentleness and that deep feelings are better expressed through frequencies than words. She wants people to see consciousness as immediacy, sensation as truth, and openness as an undeniable strength.
