The new song released in October 2025 by Canadian singer-songwriter Allie X is a powerful work centered on the theme of reintegrating a self that has been crushed by the pressures of life and fragmented.

It delivers a message celebrating reconciliation with one’s own body, reflecting the deep introspection unique to an artist who has grappled with an autoimmune disease for many years.

The distinctive production—melding baroque-style classical instrumentation with contemporary electropop—is superb, creating a world where nostalgia and hope intersect.

This track is the second single from the forthcoming album “Happiness Is Going to Get You,” which will feature 12 songs, heightening anticipation for its release.

It’s a song I highly recommend to anyone who is facing themselves and striving to move forward.

Northlane, the metalcore/progressive metal band Australia is proud of, has earned international acclaim since their formation in 2009 with technical musicianship and experimental sound, steadily building their career with three ARIA Awards.

Scheduled for release in November 2025, the album “Node : Reloaded” is a 10th-anniversary rework of their classic “Node,” which topped the charts upon its 2015 release.

This track is a re-recorded version released as the lead single, newly mixed and mastered by Buster Odeholm, transforming it into a darker, more modern production.

While preserving the song structure that highlights the contrast between heavy verses and melodic choruses, the enhanced electronic textures revive the piece with a contemporary sonic palette.

It’s recommended not only for fans eager to experience the band’s evolution, but also for listeners seeking new possibilities in progressive metal.
