Curve +1 is a four-track EP dropped in October 2025 by Murda Masa, the genius producer from Guernsey, via the independent label Pond Recordings.
Closing out the record, this track is a floor-focused banger that distills the raw energy of rave and electroclash into a minimal framework.
Its ebb and flow—driven by looping handclaps, filtered vocal chops, and a throbbing sub-bass—is engineered precisely for those hands-in-the-air moments in the club.
Directed by The Reids, the music video leaves a strong impression with close-ups of interlacing hands on the dancefloor, emphasizing the intimacy of dance and its tactile quality.
Situated as a direct extension of the previous album Curve 1, which made a bold return to rave aesthetics, this song showcases a new frontier for Murda Masa that prioritizes the body’s immediate reaction on the floor.
I Don’t Speak FrenchNEW!Rose Gray

Singer-songwriter Rose Gray, who honed her club sensibilities on East London dance floors and channels them into razor-sharp pop songs, released her debut album “Louder, Please” in January 2025 and unveiled a new track in October from the deluxe edition, “A Little Louder, Please (Deluxe).” Co-written with Justin Tranter, the song is a dance-pop number that portrays a night where two people who meet in a Paris hotel lobby are drawn to each other across a language barrier.
Set to a four-on-the-floor beat, it conveys an intimate promise—“I have words I speak only for you”—with sleek house textures intertwining exquisitely with a luscious melody.
The music video, featuring Lucas Bravo from the film Emily in Paris, has also generated buzz; its cinematic depiction of nighttime Paris richly expands the world of the song.

South African singer Tyla, who gained worldwide attention with her Grammy-winning hit “Water,” has released a new single in October 2025.

Centered on the theme of “luxury brands as proof of love,” it goes beyond mere materialism to assert a powerful demand that one’s partner recognize her self-worth.
The song is co-produced by Ian Kirkpatrick—known for his work with Dua Lipa and Selena Gomez—and Afrobeats luminary P2J.
Balancing instant dancefloor appeal with a sense of luxury, it stands as a definitive statement of late-2020s world pop.

The lyrics delve into deep emotions, beautifully harmonizing with a soundscape that reinterprets early-2000s nostalgia through a contemporary lens.
The vocal timbre—reminiscent of Caroline Polachek—is captivating, making this a perfect piece for nighttime drives or quiet introspection.

As a leading figure in French disco based in Paris, L’Impératrice has long captivated listeners with exquisite sounds rooted in the golden era of the ’70s and ’80s.
In 2024, vocalist Flore Benguigui departed, and the band welcomed Maud Ferron.
This milestone track, created under the new lineup, was released in October 2025.
Its title means “chrysalis,” and the image of awakening—breaking out of the shell to take flight—runs throughout the piece.
The fusion of a theme symbolizing the band’s rebirth and transformation with a characteristically nu-disco, groovy track makes it a fitting opening to a new chapter.
Starting in November, the band will embark on its first-ever Asia tour, so if you’re into French pop, be sure to check them out.
