Artists — This One’s for You: Submission Rules (Yes, They Matter)

Want your song played next Saturday? Submit. Follow the rules. Seriously. Too many promising tracks get bounced for tiny missteps — the number one offence is not having an active BlueSky account. If you’re serious about being heard, get your socials in order and follow the submission checklist to the letter.

jclr;’s evocative new single «Not so Secret Anymore» joins this week’s LGBTQ Music Chart «Outed On Friday!» playlist, further cementing the queer South African narrative artist as a master of world‑building through sound.

mags — «Apricot Jam»

mags’s shimmering new single «Apricot Jam» has been added to this week’s LGBTQ Music Chart «Outed On Friday!» playlist, offering another glimpse into the Copenhagen‑based artist’s universe of intimate, emotionally charged electro‑pop. A coffee‑drinking, pasta‑cooking, living‑room‑dancing New Yorker at heart, mags channels the chaos and curiosity of her mid‑twenties into songs that turn feelings into sonic memories. Her sound sits somewhere between the deeply personal and the quietly epic — electronic Scandi‑pop with a painfully honest lyrical edge. Since releasing her debut EP conversations she had with herself in 2019 and her self‑titled debut album in 2020, mags has carved out a space defined by vulnerability, reflection, and melodic clarity. Apricot Jam continues that journey, inviting listeners into a world where every emotion is captured, examined, and transformed into something beautifully resonant.
