Same Room
Maren
Verified Artist
Maren
Maren is a European pop and deep house vocalist whose music blends emotional clarity with sleek, radio-ready production. Her sound is built on warm lead vocals, airy harmonies, bright Rhodes chords and subtle club energy, but what sets her apart is the writing. Instead of leaning on big dramatic gestures, she focuses on the smaller truths inside a relationship, the routines, pauses and unfinished conversations that often say more than the loud moments ever could. Her songs feel intimate and modern at the same time, polished enough for pop playlists but grounded in real-life detail.
On Same Room, Maren captures the strange comfort of a relationship that never fully breaks apart, no matter how many times it seems to end. The track wraps that feeling in a glossy 122 BPM deep house production, pairing a warm lead vocal with soft female harmonies and a hook that feels both uplifting and a little bittersweet. It is a strong example of her style, emotionally observant, melodically clean and effortlessly listenable, with a sense of maturity that gives the song lasting weight beneath its bright surface.
Same Room
Maren
You put your keys down like a question
I answer with the kettle on
Nine months of near-misses in a hallway
Nobody packing nobody gone
I could name the exit
I could find it in the dark
But something in the wiring
Keeps me right where you are
We keep ending up in the same room
Different city same weather same June
Say it's over then we say it too soon
We keep ending up in the same room
(same same same room)
(same same same room)
Your sister asks me if I'm happy
I tell her happy is not the word
It's more like knowing where the light switch is
When everything else has moved
I could name the exit
I could find it in the dark
But something in the wiring
Keeps me right where you are
We keep ending up in the same room
Different city same weather same June
Say it's over then we say it too soon
We keep ending up in the same room
Maybe love is not the lightning
Maybe love is the ground it hits
Maybe I have been holding out for something
When I already had this
We keep ending up in the same room
Different city same weather same June
Say it's over then we say it too soon
We keep ending up in the same room
(same same same room)
Say it's over then we say it too soon

Wake Up, Gary
Wrong Floor Cinema
Verified Artist
Wrong Floor Cinema
Wrong Floor Cinema is a four-piece alternative rock band formed in 2025 by Orson Vell, Marlow Pin, Crispin Dayrate, and Niles Weatherby. The group came together through a series of badly organized rehearsal-room bookings, after repeatedly being assigned the same basement studio by mistake. They kept the name Wrong Floor Cinema because it matched their shared taste for overlooked places, awkward situations, and things that feel slightly out of sequence.
Their music blends sharp pop-punk guitars, dry spoken-sung vocals, clipped rhythms, melodic bass lines, and an offbeat sense of humor. Although their sound draws heavily from 1990s alternative rock, they avoid straightforward nostalgia, mixing that influence with modern production, restrained arrangements, and lyrics built around mundane frustrations, social discomfort, bad timing, and small personal disasters.
Orson handles vocals and rhythm guitar, Marlow plays lead guitar, Crispin plays bass, and Niles is on drums. Together, they have built a reputation for tightly controlled live performances that still feel unpredictable, balancing catchy melodies with deadpan delivery and a slightly detached stage presence. Wrong Floor Cinema sounds like a band that arrived late, entered through the wrong door, and decided to stay anyway.
Wake Up, Gary
Wrong Floor Cinema
Gary’s got a corkboard on the bedroom wall
Red strings running from the big to the small
Says the moon’s a movie on a giant screen
“NASA hired Stanley back in ‘69” he’s keen
Won’t eat cereal with a barcode line
Reads expiration dates like secret signs
Says the pigeons blink in binary
Then whispers “Buddy… they’re watching me”
Every answer needs another question
Every fact becomes a new obsession
Wake up Gary what did you find?
Another secret hidden in your mind?
Lizard kings and laser skies
Birds with government eyes
Wake up Gary take a day off please
Not everything’s a global mystery
Maybe life is just… okay
But don’t tell Gary anyway
He says Elvis orders food at night
Bigfoot’s blurry on purpose right?
Paul was switched back in ‘64
“Look at the eyebrows!” — he’s got thirty more
Area Fifty-One’s a holiday camp
Atlantis powers every desk lamp
Chemtrails spell my middle name
And squirrels? “Yeah… they’re in the game”
Every headline proves his theory
Coffee makes him documentary
Wake up Gary what did you find?
Another secret hidden in your mind?
Lizard kings and laser skies
Birds with government eyes
Wake up Gary take a day off please
Not everything’s a global mystery
Maybe life is just… okay
But don’t tell Gary anyway
Yesterday he called at half past two
Said “I’ve got something huge for you!”
I held my breath… this must be big…
“They changed the shape… of Pringles lids”
…
He wasn’t joking
Wake up Gary what did you find?
Another rabbit hole to pass the time?
Flat Earth aliens secret files
He can talk for seventeen miles
Wake up Gary you’re one of a kind
You make conspiracy sound sublime
If the truth comes out one day
We’ll let Gary say “I told you mate!”

Unbreakable Rhythm
Amanda Lear
Verified Artist
Amanda Lear
Say 'Hallå' to Amanda Lear, the queen of dance beats hailing from Stockholm, Sweden. With her infectiously happy tunes and unapologetic love for the dance genre, she's made Swedes pause their ABBA records to tune in to her vibe.
Now, some musicians find their inspiration in love, others in heartbreak, but for Amanda, it's all in the meatballs. Yes, that's right, she swears by a hearty bowl of traditional Swedish meatballs before any recording session. She credits this peculiar routine for the untamed joy that bubbles up in songs like her renowned hit, "Unbreakable Rhythm".
As you listen to the exhuberant rhythms of Amanda's music, brace yourself. It's not just the catchy hooks that will make you tap your feet and bob your head, it's the incredibly positive energy that leaves you smiling, no matter what kind of day you've had. So, whether you're kick-starting a boujee house party or enduring a soul-draining commute, Amanda Lear has the tunes to keep your spirits up, your feet moving, and - for lack of a better word - the 'rytm' unbreakable.
Unbreakable Rhythm
Amanda Lear
Woke up in the shadow of night
Gotta keep my head up high
No tears no sign of fright
Underneath this endless sky
Facing battles with a smile
Every mile makes me wise
Every step takes a while
But I’ll soar above the lies
I am strong and unbreakable
Life’s a dance unshakable
Feel the beat I'm unchained
In this game I’ve remained
Through the storm and the rain
I found myself again
Not a moment spent in vain
I dance away the pain
I am strong and unbreakable
Life’s a dance unshakable
Feel the beat I'm unchained
In this game I’ve remained
Every heartbeat a new dawn
Mind so fierce moving on
I won’t break I won’t fall
Through it all I stand tall

What’s It Made Of?
LYA
Verified Artist
LYA
“If it doesn’t ask questions, it’s not music.”
LYA (pronounced “Lie-uh”) is a genre-defying artist from Berlin whose roots stretch from conservatory string quartets to the depths of fog-drenched warehouse raves. A classically trained violinist who once performed Vivaldi at age nine, she left formal music behind in her early 20s to pursue something more fractured, more real. What emerged was a sound as delicate as it is defiant—where harpsichords coexist with 2-step beats, and questions matter more than answers.
Her music exists in a liminal zone: somewhere between dance and disassociation, pop and poetry, cathedral and club. LYA often weaves spoken-word passages into her songs, transforming internal monologues into melodic mantras. Vocals—sometimes her own, sometimes spliced and AI-shifted—glide over textured layers of cello, muted synths, and ambient distortion. Think: if Imogen Heap grew up listening to Burial and wrote haikus in code.
LYA’s debut EP “Syntax of Sleep” was a quiet cult success among insomniac circles on Bandcamp, praised for its “introspective maximalism.” Her live sets, often accompanied by generative visuals and interactive lighting that reacts to audience movement, blur the line between concert and hallucination. She isn’t afraid of silence, nor of noise. Both, to her, are forms of rhythm.
LYA doesn’t write songs to explain. She writes them to wonder. “What’s It Made Of?”—her latest single via notfm—isn’t just a title. It’s a dare. A whisper in the hallway between thoughts. A reminder that meaning isn’t always the point.
What’s It Made Of?
LYA
Woke up in a sentence I don’t remember writing
(uhhh)
My name’s on the wall
but it’s spelled with a “Y” now
weird
I tried to fold the sunlight into thirds
but it keeps leaking through the creases
Like—
was that ever the point?
(Hey!)
Did we name the silence just to fill it?
A blue cup a red sock a key with no lock
Mom said dreams don’t rot
but I found mold on the corners of mine
(yeah uh-huh)
What’s it made of?
(Lie?)
What’s it made oooooof?
Is this glass or just slow ice?
(what’s the—yeah)
If I bite it will it crack or cry?
(Haha—cry?)
I asked the mirror but she blinked
Twice
My coat is full of exit signs
but none of them point north
I sleep in the hallway between thoughts—
and that’s fine
Or it was
(Was it?)
Someone keeps leaving me notes
in a handwriting I don't remember learning
“Simplify”
“Unwind”
“Don't trust the tulips”
What’s it made of?!
(don’t tell me it’s hope again)
What’s it maaaade of?!
If it’s love why’s it shaped like a chair leg?
If it’s truth
why does it taste like batteries?
Whoa whoa—
Don’t go there
Not now
(NOT NOW!)

Built to Bend
Theo Ryan
Verified Artist
Theo Ryan
Theo Ryan came up through Amsterdam’s warehouse circuit in the mid-2010s, playing the kind of rooms where the same fifty people seemed to know every unreleased edit by heart. His first proper setup was a battered Nord Lead 2X bought second-hand from Key Music in 2014, paired with a borrowed TR-8 and a laptop that crashed often enough to become part of the ritual. A regular slot at Radion sharpened his instincts: tight verses, immediate hooks, and dance records built to carry emotion without losing momentum.
The turning point arrived in 2017 with a track he made for one specific night at Shelter. It was never meant to travel further, but a USB copy changed hands after the set and spent nearly two years circulating between DJs before Ryan finally released it himself. That slow-burn reputation became his calling card. Across a growing catalog, he has developed a clear identity around pulsing synth bass, bright arpeggios, hard-edged electronic drums, stacked harmonies, and a male vocal that can stay restrained in the verse before opening into a full-scale pop chorus.
“Built to Bend” fits that world without defining it. At 126 BPM, it turns pressure, setbacks, and stubborn self-possession into something unusually uplifting: not triumph without damage, but resilience with the dents still visible. Ryan’s records often live in that tension — bittersweet writing set against euphoric production, sharp enough for a club system but melodic enough to stay with you on the walk home. He remains a name better known by selectors, producers, and obsessive dance-pop listeners than by the wider public, which, for now, suits him perfectly.
Built to Bend
Theo Ryan
Prompt
Push all you want
I know what pressure does
I’ve had the ceiling come down slowly
Watched the plans fall out of line
Had my name crossed off the paper
More than once I still was mine
Every hard year left a measure
Every bad call changed the frame
I stopped asking to be spared it
I got better at the weight
I don’t need to stand like stone
I learned something stone won’t know
I was built to bend
Not built to break
Give me all the weight
I’ll change my shape
I can take the pull
I can take the strain
I don’t come back untouched
I come back changed
Built to bend
Built to bend
That’s why I’m here again
There were days I lost my footing
Times I nearly let it go
But the strongest thing I learned was
When to yield and when to hold
I don’t wear the damage proudly
I don’t hide it underneath
Every mark became a number
In the math that carried me
I don’t need to stand like stone
I learned something stone won’t know
I was built to bend
Not built to break
Give me all the weight
I’ll change my shape
I can take the pull
I can take the strain
I don’t come back untouched
I come back changed
Built to bend
Built to bend
That’s why I’m here again
Test the frame
Test the steel
See how much of me is real
Push it hard
Let it move
Strength is knowing when to give
I was built to bend
Not built to break
Every heavy hand
Just taught me what I take
I can take the pull
I can take the strain
I don’t come back untouched
I come back changed
Built to bend
Built to bend
You’ll find me here again
Not untouched
Not the same
Still here41:["$""$L51"null{"clip":{"status":"complete""title":"Built to Bend""play_count":1"upvote_count":0"allow_comments":true"is_verified":false"id":"d99e4864-6ac8-473f-ab11-d86eeb4abfc5""entity_type":"song_schema""video_url":"""audio_url":"https://studio-apiprodsunocom/api/forbidden""media_urls":[{"url":"https://d2lwuy8qc234o3cloudfrontnet/1/clip/d99e4864-6ac8-473f-ab11-d86eeb4abfc5m4a""content_type":"m4a-opus""delivery":"progressive""encoding":"100"}]"image_url":"https://cdn2sunoai/image_d99e4864-6ac8-473f-ab11-d86eeb4abfc5jpeg""image_large_url":"https://cdn2sunoai/image_large_d99e4864-6ac8-473f-ab11-d86eeb4abfc5jpeg""major_model_version":"v55""model_name":"chirp-fenix""metadata":{"tags":"electro-pop anthem male vokal 126 BPM commanding male belt controlled verse phrasing huge melodic chorus layered female harmonies arpeggiated synth lead deep pulsing synth bass wide synth chords sharp syncopated synth stabs electronic drum programming four-on-the-floor kick pre-chorus lift stripped-down bridge bright chorus lift polished pop compression stereo wideness clean modern master 2010s pop sheen""prompt":"$52""type":"gen""duration":23092"refund_credits":false"stream":true"make_instrumental":false"control_sliders":{"style_weight":049}"can_remix":true"is_remix":false"priority":10"has_stem":false"uses_latest_model":false"model_badges":{"songcard":{"display_name":"V55""light":{"text_color":"A3A3A3"}"dark":{"text_color":"A3A3A3"}}"songrow":{"display_name":"V55""light":{"text_color":"A3A3A3"}"dark":{"text_color":"A3A3A3"}}}"image_config":{"use_image_config_template":true"id":"camcorder""default_cover_style":"brand_refresh"}"is_mumble":false}"is_liked":false"user_id":"8910b987-5626-41da-bd52-799bb4207013""display_name":"heworx""handle":"heworx""is_handle_updated":true"avatar_image_url":"https://cdn2sunoai/4ce45482-fba4-4eb1-b1a7-9e1ecb546663jpeg""is_trashed":false"is_hidden":false"created_at":"2026-08-15T06:03:32462Z""is_public":false"is_persona_root":false"is_following_creator":false"albums":[]"ownership":{"ownership_reason":"subscribed"}"explicit":false"comment_count":0"flag_count":0"display_tags":"electro-pop pop""is_contest_clip":false"has_hook":false"batch_index":0"action_config":{"actions":[{"action_type":"add_to_playlist""disabled":false"visible":true}{"action_type":"like_song""disabled":false"visible":true}{"action_type":"share_song""disabled":false"visible":true}{"action_type":"dislike_song""disabled":false"visible":true}{"action_type":"report_song""disabled":false"visible":true}{"action_type":"remove_from_playlist""disabled":false"visible":true}{"action_type":"play_next""disabled":false"visible":true}{"action_type":"add_to_queue""disabled":false"visible":true}{"action_type":"remix_extend""disabled":false"visible":true}{"action_type":"remix_cover""disabled":false"visible":true}{"action_type":"remix_reuse_style""disabled":false"visible":true}]}}"persona":null"clipHistoryIds":[]"time":"$undefined""sharer":null}]

Back to Me
Her Name Was Frequency
Back to Me
Her Name Was Frequency
First step in
No need to rush
Heartbeat syncs
With every hush
I forgot how the sky looked at noon
How my name feels in an empty room
I gave my light to borrowed hands
Now I’m done with second plans
No more echo
No delay
I found my voice
It wants to stay
I came back to me
Like sun through a cloud
Not asking for space
Just dancing out loud
No more halfway
No more maybe
I came back to me
And I’m not leaving lately
Mirror smiles without the doubt
I learned how to move without burning out
No more waiting to feel free
I don’t need permission to be
No more shadows
I don't bend
This is where
I start again
I came back to me
Like sun through a cloud
Not asking for space
Just dancing out loud
No more halfway
No more maybe
I came back to me
And I’m not leaving lately
I was never gone
Just out of range
But now I’m tuned
To my own change
I came back to me
Where I always begin
This time I stay
This time I win
No more waiting
No more maybe
I came back to me
And I’m not leaving lately

Sweaty Eddie
Luna Vespera
Verified Artist
Luna Vespera
Luna Vespera is a vibrant songstress hailing from the cobblestone streets of Paris, where she relocated from her native Lithuania due to her husband's engineering endeavors. Nothing spells "for better, for worse" like swapping the charm of Lithuanian landscapes for the lights of the Eiffel Tower. She's made a name for herself in the music industry, not just by gracing the city of love with her sound, but also through her amazing work with Filodyo – her sponsoring record label. As they say, even in Paris, show business is still business, which Luna handles beautifully in her Parisian serenade.
Known for her unique blend of melodic soundscapes, Luna's craft expands beyond just being a songbird. She's a veritable jack-of-all-trades, with a love for electronic digital audio workstations – think of her as a musical Da Vinci, blending art, technology, and a bit of joie de vivre. In fact, voice acting artist is another feather in her beret - a talent that adds an extra layer of richness to her music. If being a multi-talented songstress was a sport, Luna would undoubtedly be in the world league.
One of Luna Vespera's most popular hits is the contagiously rhythmic "Sweaty Eddie." Just like its name might suggest, the track delivers a charismatic, dance-infused anthem that gets listeners energized - and possibly a little sweaty. With its irresistible beats and Luna's honeyed voice, it's a firm favorite on Paris's lively music scene, and certainly, a defining element of Luna's growing musical legacy.
So, there you have it – Luna Vespera. The name to know in the Parisian music scene; an enchanting songstress with the charm of the old world and the pulse of the new. Stay tuned for the release of her next electronic ballad. Bonne écoute!

Wow

It goes a long way
I've just been livin' it
Riskin' it all
Had a vision I was gonna come up swingin' it
Kissin' goodbye
Won't you switch up for me
Envision this for a minute
Get the grin off your cheek
I'm tired of listenin'
But I'm clappin' along
When you're so kind to me
Glad to meet you
You're so kind
I saw the stone wall crumblin'
I saw the main stage settlin' down

Stop for me now
Servin' a turn

Take it in stride as it passes
Drop the pretenses
As the world relapses
Misunderstandings
Up in the attic
Pick it up
Pick it up
Carry it tall now
Oh my
Have we ever met before? I swear that I know it
Could I have a little bit more? I've gotten to know you quite well
I can see it comin' on
Now you're convinced

The Heartbeaters
Verified Artist
The Heartbeaters
Meet the Heartbeaters, an endearingly nonchalant pair treading the pop-smeared pavements of our music scene. They add a sparkling new spin on that familiar pop fizz you just can't help but sip on.
Hailing from Humorsville, USA, the Heartbeaters are two blokes who serve pop tunes home-cooked with southern charm and laden with joy-generating particles. Their infectious melodies, cheekily described as "heart-pop", will likely enter your circulatory system and induce spontaneous toe-tapping, head-bopping, or whatever physical exercise tickles your fancy. Here's a personal favorite - try saying no to a track titled "Wired" without grinning like a Cheshire cat in a yarn warehouse. See? Impossible.
These chaps have a talent for injecting delight into your audio diet. They've got this 'happy virus' so potent that it makes the Grinch seem like your average party bouncer. The Heartbeaters, remember the name. They're the talented two-piece likely to prescribe you a daily dosage of dulcet euphoria and leave you craving for refills. Trust us, their sound is habit-forming.
Wittier than your average stand-up comedian, with tracks more contagious than your common cold, The Heartbeaters are two lads weaving infectious tunes thereby proving that not all heroes wear capes - some might just sport heart-shaped sunglasses and bass guitars.
Wired
The Heartbeaters
City’s alive but it’s running on fumes
Dreams stitched together in rented rooms
Eyes on the prize but the cost is steep
Promises made that we’ll never keep
Hours turn to minutes they slip through our hands
We’re building a kingdom on shifting sands
Caught in the rhythm can’t break away
Tomorrow’s a stranger but we’re here today
We’re wired to the sound of a restless beat
Living for the rush on these crowded streets
Hearts on fire but the glow won’t last
Running from shadows of a fractured past
Neon signs hum like a warning bell
Each broken dream another tale to tell
Feet keep moving though the road’s worn thin
Lost in a race we were born to win
Hours turn to minutes they slip through our hands
We’re building a kingdom on shifting sands
Caught in the rhythm can’t break away
Tomorrow’s a stranger but we’re here today
We’re wired to the sound of a restless beat
Living for the rush on these crowded streets
Hearts on fire but the glow won’t last
Running from shadows of a fractured past
And maybe one day we’ll find the line
Where chaos turns into the divine
But for now we’re the sparks that fly
Burning too fast to question why
We’re wired to the sound of a restless beat
Living for the rush on these crowded streets
Hearts on fire but the glow won’t last
Running from shadows of a fractured past
Fading echoes in the city’s hum
Chasing the pulse of what we’ll become

We Had A Better Tim...
Max Donovan
Verified Artist
Max Donovan
Max Donovan is a Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter known for his soulful melodies and evocative storytelling. Born into the heart of Hollywood, Max was surrounded by the entertainment industry from a young age. His father, a dedicated sound and lighting technician named Michael Donovan, spent his life behind the scenes, setting up the intricate systems that brought movies to life. His mother, Elena Pierce, is a seasoned actress who has appeared in several supporting roles in both film and television, adding a touch of on-screen magic to his upbringing.
Growing up amidst the hustle and bustle of film sets, Max developed a deep appreciation for the arts. While his father's tales of the golden days of Hollywood fascinated him, it was the emotional resonance of music that truly captured his heart.
Encouraged by his parents, he began exploring various instruments and writing songs during his teenage years. His family's blend of technical expertise and artistic flair inspired Max to create music that is both thoughtfully composed and deeply personal.
Max's debut single, "We Had A Better Time," is a heartfelt homage to the stories his father shared about the past. The song blends nostalgic lyrics with contemporary acoustic sounds, reflecting on simpler times and the enduring bonds of family.
The track has garnered attention for its sincerity and relatability, marking Max as a promising new voice in the music scene. When he's not in the studio, you might catch Max performing at local venues across LA, carrying on his family's legacy in the entertainment world.
We Had A Better Time (ft Jason Harper)
Max Donovan
I remember LA streets
Cruisin' down Sunset in the haze
Back when life was so sweet
Golden days living through a craze
Music played through the night
We were young felt so right
Those years were gold
Bright and bold
Now stories told
Hearts grown cold
We had a better time (yeah better time!)
When the world was free (world was free)
Now they’ve crossed the line (crossed the line)
What do we see? (do we see)
A city lost in misery (misery)
Neon signs and wild dreams
We were kings we ruled the scene
Now it’s not what it seems
Lost the spark the soul the sheen
People now chase empty gold
Trade their hearts lose their hold
Those years were gold
Bright and bold
Now stories told
Hearts grown cold
We had a better time (yeah better time!)
When the world was free (world was free)
Now they’ve crossed the line (crossed the line)
What do we see? (do we see)
A city lost in misery (misery)
Yearning for the
Golden days
Those years were gold
Bright and bold
Now stories told
Hearts grown cold
Back then the city had a pulse
a rhythm and a beat
Fast cars big dreams
livin' life on repeat
From the Walk of Fame
to the Venice Beach sands
Every corner every block
magic in our hands
Skateboards on the boulevard
neon lights aglow
Fashion trends music bends
the energy would flow
We were rebels in the night
no chains could hold us back
Now it's shadows of the past
memories we lack
Chasing paper losing soul
where did passion go?
Grit and glory now just stories
lost in hollow glow
Once a city full of life
now it's just a ghost
Echoes of the laughter
it's the past we miss the most
We had a better time (yeah better time!)
When the world was free (world was free)
Now they’ve crossed the line (crossed the line)
What do we see? (do we see)
A city lost in misery (misery)
We had a better time (yeah better time!)
When the world was free (world was free)
Now they’ve crossed the line (crossed the line)
What do we see? (do we see)
A city lost in misery (misery)
