While 2025 is just beginning to kick off for most people, singer Tinashe is already opening the new year with a bang. 

During the winter of 2023/2024, Dixon returned to a Cornish recording studio with producer Rich Stockley. The collaboration resulted in ‘Solace,’ a track that masterfully captures the essence of finding calm amid chaos. It's an almost meditative experience, characterised by its off-kilter rhythm that draws listeners into a hypnotic state.

Music tempo plays a pivotal role in shaping decision-making speed. Fast-paced music often accelerates decisions and pushes players toward quicker moves that can skew impulsive. On the other hand, slower tracks encourage deliberate choices that give players a chance to evaluate options more thoroughly.

Following their headline stint on the recent Dork Hype List Tour, the hugely tipped Welly have announced their Seaside Tour for April and May, which will follow the release of their debut LP Big In The Suburbs on 21 March.
