London’s rising artist Solum returns with a powerful new single, “Circles”, released on August 5th, 2025. Known for his ability to craft deeply personal soundscapes, Solum once again demonstrates his gift for transforming raw emotion into music that resonates far beyond the boundaries of his recording space.
“Circles” is a track that feels both intimate and explosive. Written and recorded in the solitude of his own room, the single thrives on vulnerability and unfiltered expression. What emerges is a song that captures the endless loop of toxic relationships, the push and pull of heartbreak, and the frustration of falling into familiar patterns despite knowing the inevitable outcome. The title itself is telling, relationships that turn back on themselves, repeating old mistakes until exhaustion becomes part of the routine.
Musically, Solum pushes his sound into new territory. Drawing influence from the rocky edge of modern alternative voices while maintaining his own distinct identity, the production is stripped back in places yet layered with distorted textures and emotionally charged vocals. The grit in his voice mirrors the pain of the story he tells, while his lyrical delivery strikes a careful balance between clarity and rawness. Nothing feels overpolished here, every imperfection is intentional, every crack in the vocal performance is part of the emotional weight that defines the song.
At its core, “Circles” is more than a heartbreak anthem. It is a statement of artistic honesty, a snapshot of Solum’s ongoing journey as a musician unafraid to embrace discomfort and channel it into sound. His willingness to lean into themes of vulnerability and repetition not only makes the track relatable but also elevates it as a piece of storytelling.
As the release makes its way into the world, “Circles” serves as a bold step forward for Solum, showcasing an artist who is unafraid to merge personal truth with sonic experimentation. This is not just another single, it is a reminder that some of the most powerful art comes from the most private of spaces.
