Leonie Persch’s “Code Blue” is an anthem of loss, love and renewal
Pop artist Leonie Persch is back with her second single, “Code Blue,” a bittersweet ballad that encapsulates the delicate threshold when something you’ve fought for ceases to draw breath. Its raw lyricism and emotive vocal delivery firmly establish Persch as a new voice in pop that you should be paying attention to.
“Code Blue” was initially written as a song about lost love, but it has become so much more. The track is about the regrettable truth of what it means to leave behind relationships, dreams, and even former selves that no longer suit you, even if it breaks you apart. It’s about what you have to sacrifice when you’re too big for something still worth fighting for.
That title, taken from the medical term for a state of emergency when life is in danger, becomes a potent metaphor. It’s where you have to end up, but if there were another way, perhaps through the back door or on a trapeze wire, Persch would have found it. This theme takes on even stronger overtones when considered in light of Persch’s journey. After finding success playing at the biggest EDM clubs in Berlin as Bonny Lauren and EVIE, she made a bold decision to leave her established career behind and relocate to Los Angeles.
On “Code Blue,” she reintroduces herself to the world not just as a writer and vocalist, but as the artist she has always aspired to be. Her voice, alternately strong and fragile, draws you into the emotional heart of the song. The production reflects that duality, fragile tunes carry the verses, then open into aching choruses that underscore the heartbreak of goodbye but suggest that dawn will follow.
“Code Blue” is more than a pop ballad. It is a tale of self-discovery, growth, and perseverance, a reminder that endings often give rise to new beginnings. For music lovers craving tracks that are intensely personal yet widely relatable, Leonie Persch is emerging as an artist to watch.

Loris Tils brings funk energy to life with “IKKI”
Loris Tils comes out swinging with “IKKI,” a single that comes with energy and musicianship right from the opening note. Borne on the unmistakable thump of Minneapolis Funk, the song surges forward with a groove that feels impressively designed and still wildly alive.
“IKKI” is a naughty conversation between slap bass and guitar, and the two instruments impressively craft around each other with both precision and flair, building a high-octane rhythm section that feels as tight as it is explosive.
The magic of “IKKI” is this tension, relentless discipline balanced by acrobats of daring improvisation. The energy never overwhelms the groove. Instead, it expands on it, making this song a celebration of rhythm, creativity, and instrumental chemistry.

Glass Mansions turn a possible goodbye into “SUNSETTING”
Glass Mansions return with “SUNSETTING,” a new single that came together during some uncertain times for the project. What began as a mini farewell to music turned out to be among the band’s most authentic and openhearted efforts yet.
The back story of the song’s creation feels almost cinematic. The day the decision was made to quit music altogether, a message came through from some big-time music executive who had heard about the band’s first Ep and wanted to collaborate. The band had agreed to share unreleased demos on request, though they hadn’t prepared any. That urgency caused a combustion of creativity that would shape the song’s trajectory.
“SUNSETTING” was written, tracked, and recorded in a home studio with scratch vocals in roughly two hours. What could have been a thrown-together demo became a surprise breakthrough. Confronted with the prospect of delivering just one last song, the writing became rather reflective, what would you say if it were your final creative curtain call.
“SUNSETTING,” produced by Zack Odom and Kenneth Mount alongside Orb Studios’ Taylor Webb, captures the urgency of its origin story but colors it with a new reflective emotional depth. The upshot is a song that feels at once improvisational and profound, an affirmation that, sometimes, when we think we’re reaching the end of something, it’s actually only setting in motion the most powerful of new starts.
