Bea – Safety Net

This work, released in September 2024 by Bee and Her Business, a rising pop artist from the UK, is a piece of modern pop characterized by light, buoyant sonics and sharp wordplay.

The lyrics—both humorous and biting—clearly convey a resolve to move past a period of dependence on a partner and regain personal strength, showcasing Bee and Her Business’s distinctive charm to the fullest.

Released ahead of a large-scale tour this fall, it’s a highly recommended track for anyone looking to reexamine their own worth.

The GiverChappell Roan

Chappell Roan – The Giver (Official Lyric Video)

Chappell Roan, known as a transgender singer.

Her song The Giver, released in March 2025, is one of her signature tracks.

While she mainly excels in genres like synth-pop and dark pop, this work features a gentler melody with a somewhat country-like feel.

The vocal range spans from mid1 F# to high E, which is fairly wide, but since there are almost no ad-libs aside from some embellishments in the final arrangement, it’s relatively approachable to sing.
