Samia has shared two more songs, 'Hole In A Frame' and 'Pants', from her upcoming new album 'Bloodless' out on April 25th.

About both tracks, Samia says: "I paired these tracks because they capture opposite instincts. 'Hole In A Frame' is about a fascination with disappearing and the power of absence. ‘Pants’ is about accepting a non-refundable self, social contexts and all.

Alexandra Savior returns with new song 'Unforgivable'.

Alexandra Savior has returned with new song 'Unforgivable' - the first new music to be released by Savior since her 2020 album, 'The Archer'.

About the song, Savior says: "We’ve all had experiences like this as women—it’s universal. I needed to write a song that was a mantra, so that I could stop blaming myself for experiences I’ve had where I was mistreated. I felt if I kept telling myself these things were unforgivable, maybe I would finally start to believe it myself."
