Tired

This song vividly yet tenderly captures the difficulty of taking steps into a loving relationship after brutal behaviour from others has destroyed your sense of self. In a powerful blow to the heart, To Be Known offers the hope that everyone can learn to be valued and seen even if life has taught them otherwise until now.

Producer: Phil Saatchi

Bite Me!

To Be Known

Deflating doll
Bouncing around
In every direction
I'm fine
Gasping for air
I'm running out
I am slowly running out
I'm fine

Sometimes I want to explode
Into a million pieces
Sometimes I want to explode
Into a million pieces

Will you glue me
Will you glue me back
Together
Together
Will you glue me
Will you glue me back
Together
Together
Together
Will you glue me
Will you glue me back
Together

I'm fine

Sad yet inspirational, this anti-bullying anthem combines acoustic guitar with orchestral strings in an epic singersongwriter style. Born from Amelie's experience of being bullied at school, she hopes to raise awareness of the issue, and inspire others who have been or are going through tough times.

Made It Through (Unplugged Remix)

'Tabula Rasa' explores the the itch to shake off the past and start again with a blank slate. It's the third single from Bethany's upcoming EP The Story I Breathe.

I don't want no clone
I don't want no shadow me
I don't want no clone baby

Hoping that I'm wrong
I am not the enemy
I don't want you to see

I hear the clock is ticking fast
I feel your heart is breaking down
I will not fall into your trap Alright
D.N.A. is calling out alright

He's got my eyes, he's got my smile
Test tube honey happy child
Growing slowly in denial
Feeding from my woman's life

I don't want no clone
I don't want no shadow me
I don't want no clone baby

Hoping that I'm wrong
I am not the enemy
I don't want you to see me

Hailing from the island nation of Singapore, London-based alternative rock band Coming Up Roses forge a sound that is distinctively familiar - yet you can’t quite put your finger on.

Having relocated from Singapore to the UK in late 2022, their move is footnoted by the release of new single “Utopia Reimagined: These Corners”. Produced by Joshua Rumble (Florence Welch, Black Country New Road) and mixed by Caesar Edmunds (Foals, Beach House), the sprawling track showcases a band in its ascendancy.

Led by singer-bassist Emily Sera, the group has emerged as one of the most promising acts out of Southeast Asia owing to their dynamic live shows and heartfelt lyrical themes. In addition to tours in Taiwan and Indonesia, the band have played festivals such as Canadian Music Week, Fred Perry Subculture and The Alex Blake Charlie Sessions. To date, the band has released 2 EPs, debut effort Waters (2018) and sophomore EP Everything Is (2022).

Despite the bittersweet nature of leaving their lives behind in Singapore, Coming Up Roses are ready to embark on their new adventure.
