Mareya Shows Her Boldest Side on the ‘Glitter Tears’ EP

      A cathartic EP from the alt-pop artist…

      Mareya dazzles with her impactful new EP, ‘Glitter Tears.’

      Now available, her bold songwriting sees Mareya channeling influences from her alt icons, with hints of Avril Lavigne and Paramore resonating in her dynamic pop sound.

      This six-track collection allows Mareya to express unyielding honesty, brimming with rebellious feminine energy.

      She pours her soul into each note, explaining: “I was revealing the illusion that it feels safer to hide behind the facade of beauty rather than exposing your internal struggles…”

      The recording sessions took Mareya to new heights, with the standout track ‘Ugly’ highlighting the fragility in her voice. She reflects:

      “Creating this EP was as cathartic as it was challenging. During the recording of the ballad ‘Ugly’, there were moments when I had to pause and take breaks because I would start crying. The last lyric of the song was captured from one of those instances. Some songs felt like a time capsule holding the emotional weight I was submerged in. That’s one of the reasons I named it ‘Glitter Tears’.”

      “The final track on the EP represents the reclaiming of power and truth that follows.”

      A thrilling journey, ‘Glitter Tears’ may very well be the highlight from this emerging alt-pop talent.

Skye Newman has released her new single ‘Lonely Girl’.

The UK singer has had an outstanding year, having recently sold out the KOKO venue in London after just a few releases. Anticipated to be a major force in 2026, the South London artist wraps up her breakout year with this new track.

‘Lonely Girl’ is available now and was first previewed as an exclusive on a recent Rinse FM show, where Skye spoke with Maya Jama.

Co-written by Skye Newman, Boo, and Luis Navidad, the song explores an age-gap romance while questioning why men often shy away from taking responsibility.

The lyrics aim to hold individuals accountable for their actions and are rooted in personal experience—Skye Newman’s emotive vocals convey deep sincerity and conviction.

She remarks…

The song addresses men who exploit their power by manipulating young girls, taking advantage of their innocence and vulnerability. I feel there isn't enough awareness around the issue of older men forming relationships with school girls, especially given that the age difference can seem inconsequential since women mature earlier than men. This is not acceptable! Young people require both advocates and knowledge. It's crucial to educate them about how predatory behavior may initially appear flattering, as this is the tactic to keep them engaged, allowing these predators to exert control. THIS IS ABUSE! That’s precisely why they target young, innocent children. We need to start acknowledging this for what it truly is.

Every girl I know, myself included, has been approached by much older men while still too young to comprehend the situation. I’ve seen friends become susceptible to such advances, and no girl should have to endure that. Often, it's only when you're older that you recognize just how troubling it really is. Let's ensure that young girls don’t have to wait until they are 30 and traumatized to realize this. If you or someone you know is in this situation, please help them escape.
