Sophie Lilah — Busy Being in Love

Sophie Lilah’s debut album Busy Being in Love is out now. Off the back of successful singles, ‘Cold Water’s Warm,’ ‘DHMA,’ and ‘Pretend’ this record really proves Sophie’s songwriting prowess. Plenty of soaring refrains and interesting vocal harmony across the record. There’s a nice organic live band feel to the performance and recording.

Sophie Lilah — Cold Water's Warm

Sophie Lilah releases ‘Cold Water’s Warm’ today. It’s the third in a string of epic singles leading to the debut album Busy Being in Love.

As with the whole record there’s an organic, mid-fi feel to the tone and texture of this tune. The song writing really shines, with orchestra and arrangement choices feeling really natural.

‘Cold Water’s Warm’ hits Apple Music New Music Daily Playlist (Sept 22nd), Grassroots Earworm Fresh Out The Gate Playlist (Sept 22nd), and Triple J Home and Hosed (Sept 23rd).

Gap Year — Slow Here

Gap Year are back with a belter, the ‘Slow Here’ single is out now on Blue Grey Pink.

As always, I dig the tight drum kit, balanced arrangements and orchestration, and really personal, approachable vocal.

This hit the RTRFM Sound Selection for the week of September 9th, 2025, and was the most played track on RTRFM in September.
