‘Truth or Dare’ – Ninå

With ‘Truth or Dare’, Ninå has released one of those tracks that doesn’t need to shout for attention because its tension burns in the subtext. Since its release, the song has been circulating in the playlists of those who are stuck between the healing phase and ‘maybe I’ll try again’. The production is clean but not polished – a modern pop-soul hybrid with enough edge to stand out in the scene. Ninå’s vocals feel like a close-up: vulnerable, but with that underlying determination that only comes from having given too much before. ‘Truth or Dare’ captures that moment when dating feels like a gamble again. A track for everyone who doesn’t hide their scars, but keeps moving forward.

“Maschinist” – Klang Fatal

Klang Fatal legen mit “Maschinist” einen Electropop‑Track vor, der sich – gerade weil er seine Dunkelheit nicht ausstellt, sondern präzise dosiert – wie ein kleines Studiostück über Kontrolle und Kontrollverlust anhört. Während klare Beats und kühle Synths eine fast mechanische Ordnung herstellen, schiebt sich eine subtile Selbstironie dazwischen, die den Song davor bewahrt, in reiner Strenge zu erstarren und ihm stattdessen eine fast essayistische Leichtigkeit verleiht. Dass der Sound an die 80er erinnert, wirkt weniger wie Nostalgie als wie ein bewusst gesetzter Verweis auf eine Ära, in der Maschinenästhetik und Emotion erstmals offen kollidierten. “Maschinist” bewegt sich genau in diesem Spannungsfeld: tanzbar, aber reflektiert; dunkel, aber nie pathetisch. Ein Stück, das mehr denkt, als es auf den ersten Blick tanzt.

‘Interstellar’ – Lazer Boomerang

With ‘Interstellar’, Lazer Boomerang once again opens his personal window to the cosmos – and invites everyone to step through. The Swiss synthwave tinkerer transforms his fascination with the vastness of space into a track that drives rhythmically, glows melancholically and at the same time carries that quiet grandeur that is otherwise only known from sci-fi films. ‘Interstellar’ feels like a soundtrack for night-time star drives: sometimes distant and floating, sometimes intimate and almost vulnerable. The synths pulsate like distant galaxies, while the groove pulls you inexorably forward. In the end, the song feels less like a single track and more like a small, cinematic expedition – a piece of synthwave that not only tells of the universe, but makes it audible.

‘Forever Care Too Much, Don’t Care For Much To Do’ – Legacy of Lovers

Legacy of Lovers return with ‘Forever Care Too Much, Don’t Care For Much To Do’ and deliver a track that deliberately eludes any clear interpretation. Instead of imposing a narrative, the band opens up a space where you can decide for yourself how deeply you want to dive in. Ryne D. Trevlon refuses to offer any explanation – an almost radical move in an age where everything is immediately categorised, explained and algorithmically sorted. The lyric video follows the same logic: all words visible at once, no guidance, no tempo, just freedom. Musically, the song oscillates between emotional tension and casual detachment, without ever claiming which of the two prevails. ‘Forever Care Too Much, Don’t Care For Much To Do’ is not a statement, but a state of being – a modern track that doesn’t want to be understood, but experienced.
