We look forward to our new music roundups every week, and we hope you do too. The releases were so solid this week, we could hardly wait to share them with you. This week, we bring you a variety of styles, from Ben Platt’s stripped-back ‘Andrew’ to Caity Baser’s charismatic 14-track Still Learning. Whatever you’re in to, we promise you’ll love something on this list. Let’s get into it!
Big Special – ‘Butcher’s Bin’
Big Special are angry at the world in ‘Butcher’s Bin.’ Their aim as they look forward to their debut album, Postindustrial Hometown Blues, is to be the voice of the working class. And they definitely managed it with this song! Their thoughts are unfiltered as they desperately fight for a broken world.

Holly Humberstone – Work In Progress
We dove right into this one, and we’ve been obsessed with Holly Humberstone’s work in progress all week. It’s nothing short of the honesty that we’ve come to expect from Holly. But she’s not letting the sometimes-harsh reality keep her down. We’ve loved the jazzy ‘Down Swinging’ and the dreamlike ‘Work In Progress,’ but letting her vocals and songwriting shine in ‘Easy Tiger’ makes it our standout of the EP.

Caity Baser – Still Learning
Caity Baser’s Still Learning is our favorite confident, energetic project we’ve gotten in a while. If you haven’t heard of Caity yet, be sure that you will soon. She’s got everything she needs to be UK’s next big pop star! In Still Learning, Caity is not afraid to speak her mind. Our favorites are ‘Showgirl’ and ‘Oh Well.’ But if you’re looking to have some fun, you can’t go wrong with any of Caity’s songs!

Ben Platt- ‘Andrew’
If you’re looking for an acoustic yearning song, this is the pick for you. It doesn’t get more personal than this music video, which shows the innocence and heartbreak of young, queer love. No matter your age, we’ve all been through a crush on someone who wanted nothing more than friendship. Right? Anyway, Ben sure knows what that’s like. And he describes it perfectly.
