New Releases and Live Sets from Native James and Others

Native James, whose real name is Aaron James, released an EP titled Confessions of a Sinner last year and won the One to Watch award at the Independent Music Awards. During his 2025 Glastonbury set, he brought Double S and Professor Green on stage to perform the track Block (RR), and the trio subsequently reunited at the Download festival.

Wendy Eisenberg turned a track from their self-titled album released this year into a 37-minute drone piece. Swedish artist Matilda Tjäder created Shelf Life, an experimental pop album about a woman who collects items with the same expiration date, which began as a short story before turning into an opera. Additionally, Isaac Eiger co-wrote songs for Adéla, Frost Children, and Chanel Beads, while Hong Kong artist Kiana Li released a new album titled Great Jobs.
