1. “Heritage Listed” – Mikayla Pasterfield
Starting off strong is “Heritage Listed,” a nostalgic single by Australian singer-songwriter Mikayla Pasterfield. Amidst soaring vocals and uplifting acoustic lines, the track highlights the reality of leaving a beloved hometown for new opportunities. “So when I go and move away / And I find all the things I’ve chased / When I start feeling out of place / I know I’ll come back to stay,” she sings. If you’re looking for that extra push out of your comfort zone, or simply missing home a little extra, this track is for you.
2. “I Drove All Night” – Cemetery Skyline
Rock band Cemetery Skyline have released “I Drove All Night,” a riveting rendition of Cyndi Lauper’s 1989 hit. With passion-infused lyrics of manically driving all night to meet a lover, the cover features driving percussion hits, electrifying guitar riffs and 80’s-esque keys. Looking for a new soundtrack for tonight’s late night drive? You won’t want to miss out on this gothic new track. Looking ahead, check out a Cemetery Skyline performance at a venue near you!

Listen to the new release on Richman’s debut album, COYOTE, out today.
4. “Breakdown” – Clara Joy
In an intimate blend of honest songwriting, tender vocals and warm acoustic lines, New York City-based singer-songwriter Clara Joy shares “Breakdown.” The song opens with introspective spoken word, asking listeners to reflect on childhood experiences. “When was the last time you truly felt exhilarated and free?” Joy probes.
