The Icelandic artist, songwriter and producer lúpína embarked on her solo journey by releasing her dreamy Icelandic synth pop single ‘alein’ in autumn 2022. Since then, she has captivated audiences with her singles and her debut album 'ringluð', in early 2023, which will soon be followed by her upcoming sophomore album 'marglytta' or “jellyfish” in English. The album includes complex layers of synths, soundscapes and captivating lyrics. Marglytta is an ode to herself, allowing people to see through her and her emotions - just like a jellyfish. Lúpína's music is a fusion of Icelandic lyric-focused Scandi pop, where she explores the boundaries of pop music, blending different genres seamlessly. She brings a fresh perspective to Icelandic music, infusing it with global appeal while staying true to her roots. As she continues to evolve as an artist, her music promises to leave an indelible mark on the local and international music scene.
“I Hate Myself Because” is a garage punk musical project of the up-and-coming Ukrainian musician Maksym Semeniuk. Known by his transient "I Don't Dance" and fuzzy "I Feel Bad" Maksym tries to get rid of his tiresome reputation as the author of superficial just-a-bit-over-1-minute-long hits by playing them a little longer at concerts, great idea. Eccentric emotional vocals combined with rough guitars and constant promises of a full-length album - this is what you should expect from I Hate Myself Because. Since the project's inception, Maksym has already reached 50 million streams on digital platforms, which has helped him build a great audience from all over the world.
