HAWXX are Anna, Hannah, Jess and Iman, a group of women based in London but hailing from Greece, Wales, England and Bahrain. They bring a unique taste of powerful social commentary wrapped in heavy rock tunes in their new single, "Death of silence".
Inspired by the Me Too movement, the band comments that the song "means the death of shame. Shame has deeply shaped us as a society and erodes our capacity for real systemic change. To fight and speak out against those that silence us creates a movement and momentum that is contagious. Nothing can stop it. This is a song of solidarity, a song about finding the power in our voice, our words instead of our collective shame and fear".

Norwegian singer Emma Steinbakken comes solo! Her new single is "Sorry", a contemporary pop track with intense beats and a nostalgic underlying feeling.
As Emma explained, the song is "about a relationship with my ex. He's a great guy who instantly fell in love with me when we first met. I had a crush on him, but I wasn't smitten by him despite him being funny, handsome and very kind. My mum thought he was gorgeous, all my friends loved him, everyone around me wanted us to be a couple, which resulted in me feeling guilty. I secretly hoped that I was gradually going to be in love with him, but it didn't happen. To get rid of the crippling feeling of guilt, but also to clarify why I had to end our fling, I wrote 'Sorry'".
