Ger Carriere is stepping into a lighter, more expansive corner of her sound with her latest single, “Honeybees,” the first glimpse of her upcoming EP.

There’s a moment in “BEAUTY TEARS” where everything just seems to hover: the beat, the voice, the emotion. Like the song is deciding whether to break apart or lift off. Amidst this tension GAB SAFA finds her footing and builds a track that moves through feeling.
On paper, the elements are familiar: synth driven production, a steady electronic pulse and vocals that leans into intimacy. But what Safa does with those elements feels more considered than most. Working with producers Myya Lal and Keandra Lal, she creates a sound that’s as interested in space as it is in impact. The quieter moments are not filler. They are where the song breathes, where it gathers itself before pushing forwards once again.

Imagine if the ghost of a late 90’s basement rehearsal got trapped inside an overheating hard drive, only to re-emerge years later carrying every ounce of modern frustration, burnout and emotional static with it. That’s the energy Animals in Denial channels on “We’re Dangerous,” a track that feels raw enough to fall apart at any second but somehow holds itself together through sheer conviction.

The song arrives loud, layered and unapologetically crowded with guitars stacked on top of each other until they blur into texture, vocals pushed close enough to feel uncomfortable, rhythms stripped down to their bare essentials. It doesn’t sound polished so much as it has survived life. Continue reading
