TRACK OF THE DAY: EYELAR - THINK LIKE A MAN

Iranian-born, Dutch raised and London bases rising artist Eyelar has released her powerful, patriarchy-defying latest single 'Think Like A Man' showcasing why we all need to be paying attention.

The track follows Eyelar’s previous single ‘Till You Hate Me’ and is similarly bold in its dynamic energy whilst retaining an irresistible penchant for pop melodies that continue to define Eyelar’s artistry. Speaking about the track, Eyelar says:

‘Think Like a Man is a song that I needed to write for a long time, especially as a female singer/ songwriter in the music industry, but also as an Iranian woman. The song kind of wrote itself when I was in the studio with a female producer and writer, which is quite rare in the music industry. The song is about being tired of oppression, but it wouldn't be an Eyelar song without the cheeky tone to the lyrics’

Spending her younger years honing her songwriting skills, Eyelar takes influence from the likes of Madonna, Nirvana, and Paramore - which can be clearly heard throughout her music.

Establishing herself as one of the leading names in the new wave of alt-pop artists coming out of the UK, Eyelar has found herself working with some of the most exciting names from the likes of Charlie XCX to Demi Lovato, and her latest feature on the man of the moment Fred Again's latest album 'Actual Life 3'.

With all this under her belt already, 2023 is set to see her grow even more as an act we all need to be locked into.

LATEST FEATURES

DIGITAL COVER 003: LEGZDINA

On a crisp morning in Shoreditch, Legzdina brought the bold energy that defines her music and style. She discussed her debut EP, Celestial Girl and Her Milky Way, a fearless mix of drum’n’bass, sung-rap, and poetic storytelling. The project captures her journey as an artist forging her own path. In conversation, she reflected on the personal stories shaping her music, her community-focused open-mic series Say It Back, and her drive to inspire through art. With ethereal vocals and experimental production, she’s pushing boundaries while eyeing her next milestone - representing Latvia at Eurovision -all while staying true to her belief in individuality and connection.

DIGITAL COVER 002: FLIPTRIX

This album tells a story, and hearing the tales that led to its formation from Fliptrix himself was an honour. We caught up with the charismatic artist shortly before the release of ‘Dragonfly’, to discuss his father, the current state of UK Rap, psychedelics, social media & more.

DIGITAL COVER 001: CLOUD X

In the midst of their planning of this year’s festival, we sat down with Ben Cross and David Dabieh of Cloud X to discuss the business of live music events, the UK government, South London and their future plans, perhaps surmised when Dabieh explained; "One thing about Cloud X is that we didn't have this big plan, we just kept trying to be free".
