Welcome to Homegrown's New Music Round-Up, the ultimate destination for discovering the week's hottest releases across all genres. Each week, we curate a handpicked and homegrown selection of fresh sounds. This week features drum & bass, pop, and much more.

one7two by Shantam

Bleep by Shantam is a 5-track EP that pays homage to a diverse lineage of genre-agnostic producers. Born in New Delhi, Shantam fearlessly experiments with a range of music styles, creating a fuzzy, delightfully weird, and energetically eclectic sound. Drawing inspiration from IDM, Drum n Bass, and Breaks, the EP features manic audio chopping, caffeinated drum work, and a symphony of instruments. Shantam's tracks blend melodic phrases and simple bass lines with angular and frenetic drum energy, resulting in a unique and compelling musical experience.

Plenty by Kayan

Indie-pop singer-songwriter Kayan concludes the year with her sixth single of 2023, titled Plenty. This latest release is a resonant anthem to the complexities of 'adulting', transcending mere melody to offer a soulful narrative on life's transient relationships. Evolving her signature pop vibe, the song features layered harmonies that provide a comforting embrace to listeners. Kayan skillfully paints a poignant picture of gracefully shedding connections while moving forward in life through this magnetic and introspective track.

Mehrma by The PropheC

Indo-Canadian singer, songwriter, and record producer The PropheC releases his much-awaited music album Midnight Paradise. Following a four-year hiatus since his last studio album, the artist returns to redefine his legendary "senti" sound, encapsulating the essence of love and profound sentimentality in every beat. This Punjabi masterpiece comprises 12 soul-stirring tracks, each embodying The PropheC's trademark heartfelt melodies and evocative verses that resonate deep within the soul.

Phoenix by Tanya Shanker

Tanya Shanker, the 17-year-old singer-songwriter, is known in the music scene for her powerful and passionate blend of pop and rock. Her new single Phoenix combines anthemic choruses with delicate piano motifs, serving as an ode to fighters worldwide who turn their tragedies into inspiration. Centred around themes of resilience and overcoming challenges, 'Phoenix' uses the metaphor of the mythical bird to illustrate bouncing back from obstacles and never giving up in the face of adversity.
