Gigi Malua peering deep into the mind
Out now is “Malua”, a new 5-track EP belatedly celebrating Gigi Malua’s name change – or rather: extension – from Gigi to Gigi Malua. The change was necessary, she felt, in order not to be confused any longer with the countless Gigis that apparently populate trash television. Signed to Universal Music, 25-year-old Gigi Malua began […]
Nemo Playing in the Arthouse
Out now via Universal Music is “Arthouse”, Nemo’s first album after their dazzling performance at the 2024 ESC finals. Having carried off the ESC trophy with the co-penned “The Code” (more than 100 million streams on Spotify alone), Nemo wisely took off time to move home towns twice (from Switzerland to London, first, then Paris) […]
Glooriously Sung by Amaya
Amaya Gloor – a new name signed to Universal, and here’s her debut EP, entitled “Unfinished”. “Unfinished”, when the singer/songwriter has barely set off on her career? Well, judging from the strength of this six-track song collection, it is absolutely certain we will hear plenty more from this 22-year-old from the Bernese mountains. Singing in […]
EAZ Moving up in the World
Zurich rapper EAZ releases his latest five-track EP via Universal. The title “Penthouse 32”, is a reference to EAZ’s debut album, which was called “Apartment 32”.

The Gardener & The Tree Find The „silver lining“
Much-travelled singer/songwriter/rock outfit The Gardener & The Tree return to the fray with a new EP, “silver lining”. Out via Universal Music, the four-track selection introduces a new line-up. Big choruses, big feelings – and one massive big voice, that, in a nutshell, is The Gardener & The Tree. Formed in small Northern Swiss town […]
“Waves” of Argyle
Out now is “Waves”, a new 5-track EP on Universal Records from the singer-songwriter, Argyle. Blessed by the sort of slightly-hoarse voice that simultaneously suggests a colourful past, a yearning libido, and little-boy-lostness, Argyle’s songs are cut from a similar melodic cloth as those of fellow-Scot Lewis Capaldi, Dermot Kennedy or George Ezra. As the […]

Jeans for Jesus with new cut!
Three years ago, their last album hit the top 20. There is every hope that with “19xx_2xxx” (aka “nineteen hundred, two thousand”) Jeans for Jesus will go one (or two) better. “19xx_2xxx” was released internationally by Universal on 24 January. For Stephan Eicher, who supports Jeans for Jesus on the French version of the single „1900 […]
