Felix Dobrev
It's rainy outside snowing outside
And pour me in ice cold water swell my chest
To make me hard to weep to lie to lie
But I will find another route
Yeah

And use to call me mad as bad as you could
But hush

But make after now it's easy for me finally
Seems that I never felt you love me truly anyway
For now you recognize the sound
The sound is good
For now you recognize the light
The source of the light
(Uh) (uh)
(Ah)
(Ah)

Wasn't long ago I tried to change for ya
But my spirit wouldn't bend
So I clipped your wings and your balloon burst
And now you're back again
You came like a lamb and left like a lion
Couldn't stick to the deal
But my pencil-thin skin has thickened since then
I don't care how you feel
You called my bluff and left me stranded
Like a lighthouse with no light
So I sent up a flare
And I was saved
Now I don't care if you care
You came like a lamb and left like a lion
Couldn't stick to the deal
But my pencil-thin skin has thickened since then
I don't care how you feel
Now I don't care if you care
You came like a lamb and left like a lion
Couldn't stick to the deal
But my pencil-thin skin has thickened since then
I don't care how you feel

Mile By Mile
Donna Cool
Tank half full windows down
Dust in the back road leaving town
Big sky pulling on my sleeve
Got a map got a song got you with me
Mile by mile we shake it loose
Yellow line running under our shoes
Heart to heart let the world go by
We’re making a home out of open sky
Happy road happy road
Keep on rolling let it go
Happy road happy road
We were born to drive it slow
(oh-oh) Happy road
(oh-oh) Happy road
Gas station coffee paper cups
Laughing so hard that we can’t stop
Sticky hands on the steering wheel
Every little turn feels real feels real
Mile by mile we shake it loose
Yellow line running under our shoes
Heart to heart let the world go by
We’re making a home out of open sky
Happy road happy road
Keep on rolling let it go
Happy road happy road
We were born to drive it slow
(oh-oh) Happy road
(oh-oh) Happy road
If the rain comes down we’ll dance through it
If the map folds up we’ll laugh and miss
Nothing behind us nothing to prove
Just this road and me and you
Happy road happy road
Keep on rolling let it go
Happy road happy road
We were born to drive it slow
Happy road happy road
Every mile is ours to hold
(oh-oh) Happy road
(oh-oh) Happy road

Raindrops In Ruby
Nico Laurent
Verified Artist
Nico Laurent
Hailing from the sprawling city of Chicago, known for its gusty winds and hearty deep-dish pizzas, the one and only Nico Laurent has been making waves in the musical landscape with his undeniable talent and contagious energy. Born to an imaginative mother who weaved narratives that enchanted Nico's world and a meticulous father whose precision for constructing circuit boards was only matched by his love for the blues. You could say Nico was born to rhythm, melody, and a healthy dose of storytelling. He began his magical sonic journey right there, in the sweet-spot between abstraction and engineering, affectionately known as creativity.
That journey led Nico to pen one of his most notable songs, "I'm Not The One," a tune that dances delightfully between heartbreak and hope, two relatable sides for many of his listeners. His songs mirror his life - filled with textures and nuances - which are as electrifyingly real as the Chicago skyline during a lightning storm. Perhaps it's his mother's storytelling gift that makes his lyrics so compelling, or his father's keen sense for balance that keeps his melodies ringing in your ear long after the song ends. Or maybe, just maybe, it's that cheeky grin of his that makes you think he might know a secret or two about life's grand design. Whatever the case, it's hard to resist the magnetic pull of Nico Laurent and his ever-evolving sound.
Equal parts witty word-spinner and evocative tunesmith, Nico proves that the apple doesn't fall far from the metaphoric tree (and by the sound of it, this apple picked up a guitar on its way down). Nico remembers sitting between piles of books and heaps of cables as a kid, writing stories about robot musicians or sketching out designs for flying guitars, and that imaginative spirit still fuels his music today. So, buckle in and hold onto your hat (the wind in Chicago doesn’t mess around, you know), because Nico Laurent is just getting started, and this is one ride you won't want to miss.
Raindrops In Ruby
Nico Laurent
Follow the footprints of centuries
Lost in the fields of she always ran
Carving out all of the treasuries
We read alone in the rain
Why does it sound so much worse in the morning?
Cry out the letters she sent when we met at that place
Why'd you make me wait when I knew you were wrong?
There she goes
I've known love
And love constantly goes
And if I leave everything open
I'm constantly closed
I can't leave anyone hangin'
But yet I still hang like a post
Feels like she moves in slow motion
I can't let 'er down 'cause she's already gone
Want her around
But I know that would be so wrong
There's so much to see in the world
Why does it sound so much worse in the morning?
Cry out the letters she sent when we met at that place
Why'd you make me wait when I knew you were wrong?
There she goes
Caught in the middle of something again
Why do I mention whenever I can?
Unlock the moment of rubies and stains
Looking to find when the love met the rain
Locked in an image as clear as the rain
Lookin' to find through eternity

Flip That City
Minerva Sound
Verified Artist
Minerva Sound
Minerva Sound is a five-piece from Bristol, UK, blending glossy disco-pop, neo-soul harmonies, and tight live grooves. The lineup: Malik Rhodes (lead vocal), Tyrone Ellis (vocal/MC), Owen Calder (guitar/bass), Emily Price (vocal/keys), and producer Felix Dunn (drum machines, synths, arrangements). Born out of late-night jam sessions and warehouse sets, they forged a sound that marries hook-heavy choruses with rhythmic precision and rich vocal stacks.
Their debut single, “Flip That City,” captures the group’s signature pulse: rubbery bass, syncopated organ stabs, hand-clap drive, and call-and-response vocals that snap into a euphoric refrain. Lyrically, it zooms in on urban momentum—small choices, quick turns, and the thrill of switching lanes—delivered with swagger and a live-band spark.
Available exclusively on Filodyo, Minerva Sound is poised to turn venues into dance floors across the UK and beyond—one chorus, one groove, one flipped skyline at a time.
Flip That City
Minerva Sound
Flip it flip it come alive
Turn the dial feel the vibe
City’s pulse jumping high
We don’t stop—we multiply
Smoke in the air bass hits the ground
Feet in the crowd hearts pound around
Spotlight flicks beat rides the sound
Hands in the air lost then found
Shout with me let the rhythm ride
No more still—in this groove we hide
Flip the night on its neon edge
On our mark—pledge to the ledge
Flip that city flip it higher (Hey!)
Flip that city beat the fire (Hey!)
Flip that city where we belong (Yeah!)
Flip that city dance along (Yeah!)
Streetlight jumps when the bass drops low
Crowd moves as the speakers blow
Every step locks into sky-high flow
One more wave—ready set go
Shout with me let the rhythm ride
No more still—in this groove we hide
Flip the night on its neon edge
On our mark—pledge to the ledge
Flip that city flip it higher (Hey!)
Flip that city beat the fire (Hey!)
Flip that city where we belong (Yeah!)

Strong City Woman
Viktoria Klein
Verified Artist
Viktoria Klein
Meet Viktoria Klein - the voice that's spreading joy across the alternative music scene with her infectious killer hooks and luminous personality. With her hit track "Strong City Woman" tearing up playlists, she's quickly becoming an essential fixture in the world of independent music.
Viktoria's journey to alt-pop goddess was anything but ordinary. As the story goes, she used to croon to sheep in her grandma's Yorkshire farm, using a pitchfork as a microphone- the sheep sure as hell didn't mind the free gig! This unorthodox "tour" harnessed her melodious chops, and the rolling English countryside became the stage where she honed what is now touted as "cripplingly delightful" tunes.
Klein's music mourns none and pleases many. Her "happy" mode of operation disguises the edgy undertone of her sound, striking a perfect chord between sunny optimism and biting realism. Listening to her tunes, you'll feel like you've been let in on a secret club - the kind that serves tequila at breakfast and sees exposed brick as the height of interior design. Each strum, every beat feels like Viktoria is sharing a personal punch-line; you practically hear her ironic chuckle as you navigate her audial landscape.
It’s near impossible to walk away from a Viktoria Klein track without a spring in your step or, at the very least, a glazed look of contentment. The alternative scene may be awash with talent but no one quite offers the Viktoria Klein experience – a merry romanticism that leaves heartache outside the nightclub door, making sure your ears are filled with nothing but good times. Watch out world, there’s a new 'Strong City Woman' in town!
Strong City Woman
Viktoria Klein
Closet full of dancing shoes God knows
Probably got the same tattoo somewhere
Dark roots on her light blue born with
Fire in the eyes like you but rules
There are rocks made from paper and
Statues that move
And there’s nothing wrong in her world
If she says it’s true
There are dove feathered angels
without wings who fly she let them
And a strong city woman
who can’t be confined not loveless
In six weeks there’s a new routine mapped out
Confetti and the sacred dark marked down
Fire is a cleansing bark without rules
You are starting in your light blue fire
Dancing over quicksand tides right now
In the light of your eyes
You’re about to delve in
Let yourself feel power
Your love is wealth you’re flying
You can’t be made outlawed
The city that you built
didn’t need doors in the first place
Use the grass in the fields
out there for your campsite
Maybe later you’ll be needed
back on the home base
Walls don’t mean anything
under the birdlines
Strong woman can’t be confined not loveless

Left Me Dancing
Velvet Tax
You left me crying
But I came back dancing
Mm
I came back dancing
You took the keys
But not the door
You took your coat
But not the storm
I kept the dress
You never liked
Put on my heels
And killed the lights
You thought I’d call
You thought I’d break
You thought my heart
Would learn your name
But I found myself
At half past two
In a crowded room
Not missing you
I let the mirror see me
With my makeup running
Then I wiped it clean
Like I saw you coming
You were the lesson
I was the flame
You left the woman
But she changed her name
You left me lonely
Left me hurting
Left me standing in the rain
Now I’m moving
Now I’m burning
Now I’m dancing through the pain
You don’t get to hold me
When I’m finally free
You don’t get the old me
She don’t answer for me
You left me crying
But I came back dancing
You left me dying
But I came back dancing
Da-da-da-dancing
I came back dancing
Da-da-da-dancing
I came back dancing
I saw your friends
They looked surprised
Like I should hide
Like I should cry
I smiled so sweet
They looked away
I guess revenge
Can wear a face
No angry texts
No midnight scene
No begging you
To come to me
I changed the song
I changed the room
I changed the girl
Who waited for you
I let the mirror see me
With my heart wide open
Then I sewed it up
With a little gold thread
You were the reason
I hit the ground
But I’m the reason
I’m rising now
You left me lonely
Left me hurting
Left me standing in the rain
Now I’m moving
Now I’m burning
Now I’m dancing through the pain
You don’t get to hold me
When I’m finally free
You don’t get the old me
She don’t answer for me
You left me crying
But I came back dancing
You left me dying
But I came back dancing
Da-da-da-dancing
I came back dancing
Da-da-da-dancing
I came back dancing
I was a house with the windows open
You were the match in a careless hand
I was the girl who kept forgiving
Now I’m the woman you can’t command
I don’t hate you
That’s too easy
I don’t need you
That’s the twist
I don’t want you
To come save me
I just want you
To see this
You left me lonely
Left me hurting
Left me standing in the rain
Now I’m moving
Now I’m burning
Now I’m dancing through the pain
You don’t get to hold me
When I’m finally free
You don’t get the old me
She don’t answer for me
You left me crying
But I came back dancing
You left me dying
But I came back dancing
You left me lonely
But I came back shining
You left me broken
But I came back diamond
You left me crying
But I came back dancing
Da-da-da-dancing
I came back dancing

And when the night falls

In a sundress (Ooh)
Dancin' with the moonlight (Ah)
Can't get enough
Let's fall in love
We're all just a summer fling
Who cares if it ends?
We're here for the ride
One last goodbye
Mm-mm
We're all just a summer fling
And even when it ends
We're here for the ride
One last goodbye

Glass of Love
Harper Quinn
I'm feeling selfish
Seeing myself through your wreckage
Chivalry forgetting its relics
It's only confusing
Such dramatic illusion
You've got me making like Cupid
Your eyes are aiming at me
Baby
We're an endangered species
I can't do this to you
I can't bring you down too when I fall down there
I can't bring you down
I can't bring you down too with me when I feel this way
I mean
I don't know what's wrong with me
Like
I just have to do this
I don't know why
I just have to
Lead filled glass of love
It's gotta go
It's gotta go
Go slow
Way down
It's gonna go
On muddy waters
Drip out-ter
Be water
Oh
Blood of my mother's tears
Make seas of love on this ground
Through overwater
Bears doubt and fog
Where do we go?
Get up
Lead filled glass of love
It's gotta go
It's gotta go
Go slow
Way down
It's gonna go
If you are companion
It's R
Not safe where you're standing with me
You are one of the mansions of Mars
In a bar through the stars that I see
If you are companion
It's R
Not safe where you're standing with me
You are one of the mansions of Mars
In a bar through the stars that I see

Told me I’d regret it — guess I forgot
Living like a risk you never got
I’ve been spinning hours into peace
While you watch from your retreat
You sip on rules I drink the rain
You dress your truth in borrowed shame
I’m not the one who’s stuck in place
You paint your fear across my face
But I don’t flinch I don’t explain
I dance through thunder sing through pain
You call it chaos — I call it mine
You hold your breath and wait for grace
I jump first I don't brace
Maps never knew my way
Still I find more than you say
You sip on rules I drink the rain
You dress your truth in borrowed shame
I’m not the one who’s stuck in place
You paint your fear across my face
But I don’t flinch I don’t explain
I dance through thunder sing through pain
You call it chaos — I call it mine
Maybe I’m too much for your quiet
But I’m a riot you won’t forget
Keep your calm and curated days
I’ll be gone in brighter ways

From de dirt we wear de crown
Heartbeat strong we feel de vibe

Dis de way we always fly!
Da da dara dat dat da
Move yuh body shake yuh wah!
Da da dara hey hey ha
Dance till morning don’t say nah!
