Tommy Marsh channels heartbreak and chaos on I Don’t Want Your Love, a gritty anthem of rejection and resilience. Drawing loose inspiration from TLC’s iconic No Scrubs, the track flips heartbreak into power, carrying a raw and unfiltered edge that makes it unmistakably his own.
Featuringcollaborator Tommyyterror, the song thrives on its dual energy — Marsh’s blend of grit and melody balanced by Tommyyterror’s striking verse, which was penned in the aftermath of real-life pain. Together, they create a push-and-pull dynamic that feels both confrontational and cathartic.
At its core, I Don’t Want Your Love is a punchy ode to emotional detachment. Instead of romanticizing heartbreak, Marsh leans into the chaos, refusing to sugarcoat the messiness of letting go.
Tommy Marsh is currently preparing to release his debut album Marshland on September 12.
Marshland is an experimental journey of self-discovery — like walking on thin ice, never knowing if the ground beneath you will hold. It’s driven by uncertainty and anxiety, carved out of raw emotions and reflections that reveal pain and suffering but also rebirth, resilience, and the reminder that fear can transform into strength when you face it head-on.

We had the chance to talk to Australian duo HeyHolly to celebrate the release of their latest single “Glitter”
Congratulations on the release of your new song Glitter! Glitter is described as raw and unapologetic—what was going through your minds while writing and recording it? The last 2 years have been a roller coaster to say the least. Being around other individuals and seeing their struggles with toxicity while also balancing our own personal problems we wanted to shine light on how this can ultimately make us better people and hold it in a positive light instead of allowing it to swallow us whole.
Was there a particular experience or moment that inspired the message behind Glitter? I guess it is pretty personal looking back at glitter. The time that it was written. The experiences we were having then and also I think it’s a collection of different experiences from over the years. For me (Bryce) most definitely this is targeted towards a more recent and personal experience that had happened over the last couple years and this in a way was a therapy writing session and something I felt we needed to release. For Cruise I think he is fantastic when it comes to observation. He manages to pull inspiration and create art from stories. Whether they’re real life experiences for other individuals or fantasy film and tv. He just knows how to tap in and use that to his advantage.
The track feels like a rebirth—how did it feel emotionally to release this one compared to your earlier songs? This is something we have sat on for a while now. Generally when it comes to making music. You sit in a studio session and make what you think is a masterpiece , pour your heart into it, take it away and love it until you hate it. We have felt that way with most of our songs and demo syndrome is a real thing. For GLITTER it wasn’t like that. There was still this undying love for it after months and months of sitting on it. It feels amazing to finally have it out there and hopefully people feel the same way about it as we do.
How would you describe your individual roles in HeyHolly—Cruise as the vocalist and Bryce as the rapper? How do those elements come together when writing a song? I guess we are very different with what we deliver but also complimentary to each other at the same time. I think the dynamic of our voices jell really well together while offering different things. Cruise has a strong voice and often this soft angelic tone to it that I enjoy. I think it’s comforting, I think it’s easy listening and something people engage with. Not to mention his parts are always so catchy. For myself. Story telling has always been a big part of my life. I find it comforting and quite easy to write. Where I sometimes lack communication and finding the right words at the right times I find it way easier to sit and pour my heart into a pad and pen. Or more so these days iphone notes. I don’t think my rap voice is confrontational, it’s not aggressive, it’s not loud and obnoxious and whether it comes across this way to the listener or not but my lyrics have a lot of meaning behind them.
Since your debut in 2022, you’ve played WOMADelaide and supported WOMBAT—what’s been your most surreal moment so far? Both of them have been unreal. We have been so blessed to have a great team and could not have done it without Bianca from Renegade, our friends and family, the listeners and the two of us by each other’s side. WOMAD was an incredible experience and bringing in such an unexpected large crowd meant the world to us. Having strangers wait around after the show just to tell us how much they enjoyed our set and wanting photos is something we will never forget.
If you could collaborate with any artist—local or international—who would it be and why? Okay now we are getting into the hard questions. For Cruise I’m sure if it’s Dead or alive. Mac Miller or Matt Corby would be his go to. Mac is truly a songbird of a generation when you think about it. In terms of his creativity he is unmatched and also very versatile. The type of artist you could listen to day in and day out and still pick up on new things on the same song you have heard a million times. Corby is incredible. Rainbow valley would have to be one of the greatest albums to come out of Australia. That man’s voice is truly out of this world.
For Bryce. I think we all know it would be Sticky Fingers. Even having the lads come in to collaborate on a writing session and lay down instrumentals would be insane but actually having Dylan Frost on a Chorus would be a dream come true. Every release they have is a front to back listen with no skips. I also think Dominic Fike would be an awesome artist to collaborate with. His music makes me feel good.
What message do you hope people take away when they listen to your music, especially Glitter? If you smile, laugh, cry or just get in your feelings in general when listening to any of our songs then that’s the best thing we could have ever hoped for. We just want people to feel something. It’s cool to create music that bangs and just has a good beat but to be able to make the listener actually feel emotions. That’s what we want. Dont take life seriously. Have a laugh, have a drink to our music with friends, have a cry. Feelings are a part of the human experience and we believe music is the best feeling of all time.
Still I Don’t Regretcaptures the pain of loving someone you knew would break your heart — but choosing to love them anyway. It’s about holding onto hope, falling deeper despite the warning signs, and facing the heartbreak you saw coming. In the end, it’s a reflection on growth, gratitude, and not regretting a love that taught you who you want to be.

“Glitter” by HeyHolly is about walking away from what no longer serves you and stepping into who you’re meant to be. It’s raw, reflective, and unapologetic — a reminder that sometimes distance is the first step toward growth. Leave the mess behind. Find your shine again.
HeyHolly is the real deal—born from over a decade of friendship and forged through hard times. Cruise and Bryce met back in Year 6, and in 2021, after years of talking about chasing music, they finally pulled the trigger. Bryce had just come out of a brutal five-year relationship, and music became the outlet.
Cruise sings. Bryce raps. One night, Cruise dropped a beat with a wild hook, Bryce jumped on it, and they knew they had something special.
Since their debut in 2022, HeyHolly has made serious moves—supporting WOMBAT in Adelaide, hitting the stage at WOMADelaide 2025, landing international press, and scoring their first national radio play on CADA with K-Sera.
Yung Van’s latest single ft. SadBoyProlific, Honest, delivers an unfiltered, emotional gut-punch, capturing the fragile balance of love on the verge of collapse. The track feels like a confessional—a desperate plea to save something slipping through your fingers. It’s raw, vulnerable, and beautifully bittersweet, offering listeners a glimpse into the emotional turbulence of a relationship at its breaking point.
Co-written with VITO during a visit to Terre Haute, IN, Honest holds a special place in Yung Van’s creative journey. What started as a single moment of candid expression evolved into the cornerstone for the upcoming album, Haunted Hearts. The song sets the tone for what’s to come, exploring themes of love, loss, and the lingering echoes of past relationships.
Songwriter and Record Label owner yung van has carved his own path in the underground music scene, captivating listeners with raw vulnerability and unapologetic authenticity. Based in Denver, this alternative singer-songwriter has earned a fiercely loyal fanbase, not just through his heartfelt lyrics, but by staying true to his unfiltered self on social media.
After the underground success of his 2017 hit, “I waited on you, you never came,” yung van built on that momentum with his 2023 album “don’t change the channel,” featuring standout collaborations from artists like guardin, demxntia, and Dion Dugas. Now, he’s gearing up for the release of his highly anticipated new album, “Haunted Hearts,” set to drop in 2025, this project promises to push the limits of genre, showcasing yung van’s bold evolution as an artist.
Last week we spoke to Tommy Marsh about the release of his latest single Ladies, we got to chance to talk to him about the release and his music.
Congratulations on the release of “Ladies”. It feels like a very personal track. Can you share more about the journey that inspired this song? The song came to me when I was trying to get back into my roots by using my singing voice, and rap voice combined. I was listening to Justin Timberlake’s album FutureSex/LoveSounds, which gave me some inspiration.
The song reflects on self-awareness and self-love. What do these concepts mean to you, and how have they transformed your outlook on life and relationships? After going through some self reflection and overcoming the pain of losing someone I thought would be with me forever, I’ve realised that it’s okay to be on your own and you don’t need somebody in your life to rely on all the time. Of course a time will come where it works out, but it can’t be a main drive of self motivation.
You’ve been writing music since you were nine. What first inspired you to pick up the pen and start creating music at such a young age? I’ve been surrounded by music my whole life and always loved to create things it didn’t really matter what it was I’ve always been into making stuff. Song writing came naturally, although I struggled to play instruments, I always liked to sing and use my voice, I found it was my best instrument.
You’ve played to packed venues following your festival debut. What has been your favourite memory from performing live this year? My favourite live performance this year would of been playing at kickback brewery in aldinga because it’s the closest to home I’ve been able to perform and I got to perform for so many people who hadn’t heard me before.
If you could collaborate with any artist, who would it be and why? realistically I would say either Barkaa or Nerve, because I feel very passionate about indigenous rights and would love to contribute by spreading their messages in music, Barkaa has been a big inspiration for me over the last two years. I would love to collaborate with Nerve because he is an amazing producer and never misses on a beat.

We had a chance to chat with Natasha Bianca about her latest single Flex
Hey Natasha, congratulations on the release of your new single Flex! “Flex” is a bold track calling out the superficial online lifestyles and the obsession with validation. What inspired you to write this song?
Thank you so much! The inspiration came from personal observations of how social media can often promote superficiality and a constant need for validation, which can be damaging to mental health. I felt like calling everyone out in this song from the boys club, to internet trolls, online appearances, to anyone running my name trying to tear me down. It’s my anthem to state IM HERE! Im THAT bitch, nothing or NO ONE is going to stop me. It’s very sassy but empowering.
In “Flex,” you address internet trolls and the boys club. How important is it for you to use your music as a platform to challenge these societal issues?
For me, it is incredibly important to utilize my platform to speak on these topics, as I’ve experienced them firsthand. While I’ve learned to identify and manage situations involving internet trolls and the boys club mentality, not everyone has the tools or resilience to do so. For many in the industry or anyone online facing similar challenges, it can be difficult to navigate these situations, which can significantly impact self-esteem and mental health. Through my music, I’m hoping to provide a voice for those who may feel silenced or marginalized. I want to empower listeners, helping them to recognize their own strength and resilience, and encourage others to stand up against negativity and discrimination.
Your latest releases carry strong messages of empowerment and resilience. How do your personal experiences shape the music you create?
I believe I was entering a new era of Natasha Bianca where I didn’t want to sing anymore heartbreak sad songs. Don’t get me wrong I still love a good Rnb sad song and I might one day release a whole sad girl album, but at my current point in my life I wanted to focus on up-tempo hype music that makes you want to dance, move and feel good. When I’m feeling down I love to listen to music that hypes me up and reminds me I AM that bitch!! For example Megan the Stallion, Doja Cat and BIA are all icons I listen to on repeat who give that energy. I wanted FLEX to give my audience that same empowering energy, reminding them of their worth and resilience.
What advice would you give to young, aspiring female artists who look up to you and want to make their mark in the music industry?
To keep going!! It’s a marathon and not a sprint. There can be so many disheartening moments in this industry that make you want to give up, but you just need to keep striving for the end goal – no matter what that may be. Listen to yourself and your intuition, speak up and be confident with your voice. It needs to be heard!
Being included in the Listen Out 23 lineup alongside big names like Ice Spice and Lil Uzi Vert is a huge accomplishment. What was the experience like?
It was the most incredible experience of my life to date. I still watch back at videos and think “that’s me?”. It was the biggest crowd I’ve performed in front of and they gave me so much energy. The biggest highlight was teaching the crowd the lyrics to one of my unreleased singles so when I started performing they all were all screaming my lyrics and its forever embedded into my memory.
Looking ahead, what are some of your goals and aspirations for the next phase of your career? Are there any new collaborations or projects on the horizon?
I have my debut EP centered around female empowerment that is set to be released later this year that I’m extremely excited about. I’ve been performing all the songs on the project in my live shows and the crowd response so far has been amazing so I’m very excited to introduce it to the rest of the world. Hoping we’ll be able to include a tour in soon also.
Reflecting on your career so far, what has been the most rewarding aspect of your journey as an artist?
No matter how much I love the stage and performing connecting with people, the most rewarding aspect as an artist is when I receive a dm from a fan expressing their love of my music, or how much they connected with one of my songs. It’s truly the most heartwarming feeling to know someone can feel their own experiences and emotions through my music. Another super rewarding aspect in my career is looking back from when I started and knowing I’ve achieved everything in my career thus far on my own independently. The music industry is a scary world, and navigating through it is even more terrifying. But being able to collaborate with some amazing creatives in Australia and building a team from the ground up is probably one of the most self-rewarding moments as an independent artist.
Is there any message or final thought you’d like to share with your fans and the listeners who have supported you along the way?
All my supporters have played such a significant role in my career and I love they’re along for the journey. Keep being YOU and remember, you’re THAT bitch!! New music soon…
