Produced by Andrea Tripodi (Bambole di pezza, Adriano Celentano,Gianluca Grignani) and mastered by Stefan Brown at Abbey Road Studios (Revok Records in-house engineer collaborator with Detroit tech-house labels; vinyl mastering for Berlin’s Subverted Records), ‘Bye’ brings more of the evocative, catchy yet edgy sound which makes Marta Vega such a compelling newcomer.

Distorted, boxy distortion flavours the melodic vocals which create a compelling breakup narrative over the driving instrumentation. Punchy drums, fuzzy guitar tones and glitching production create a high octane yet commercially minded soundscape, balancing its pop elements with Vega’s fuzzy alt-rock sensibilities.

Talking about the recording of the track, Marta Vega explains: “‘Bye’ was written in just a few hours, and it really captured the emotions I was living through in that moment — the anger, the sense of loss, but also the urge to break free. I actually wrote the lyrics when I was in the bathroom at the studio, just scribbling down what I was feeling. My grandma had just passed away, and it almost felt like a spiritual power was guiding me in the writing that day.

“At the time I was listening to a lot of Lil Peep and XXXTentacion, and that definitely influenced the way I delivered the vocals — raw, direct, almost like letting the words spill out. The post-punk drums gave it this restless drive, and together ‘Bye’ felt like unlocking something mysterious that had always been inside me.”

A self-described “lesbian grunge soul”, Marta’s music is both emotionally raw and irresistibly melodic, carving out a space where grunge grit meets pop vulnerability. Another example of the haunting, hook-heavy guitar led sound which has seen her quickly establish herself as one to watch, ‘Chemtrials’ captures the Avril Lavigne meets Wolf Alice; rock-pop meets atmospheric-indie which stylises Vega’s sound.

Produced by Andrea Tripodi (Bambole di pezza, Adriano Celentano,Gianluca Grignani) and mastered by Stefan Brown at Abbey Road Studios, the track brings fuzzy bass, tight drums and elegant reverb drenched guitar lines under Vega’s distortion tinted, effortlessly charismatic vocals, affecting and melodic vocals.

Talking about the recording of the track, Marta Vega explains: “‘Chemtrails’ is definitely my ‘fuck off’ track. It’s about leaving behind the weight of someone who just drains you, and finally saying: I’m done, I’m out.

“The lyrics came from that headspace where you’re angry but also liberated – forgetting their face, ignoring their words, and choosing your own road instead. For me, ‘Chemtrails’ became a symbol of that escape, of driving out into the blue, far away from their chaos. It’s not about looking back, it’s about breaking free.”

A self-described “lesbian grunge soul”, Marta’s music is both emotionally raw and irresistibly melodic, carving out a space where grunge grit meets pop vulnerability. Drawing comparisons to the likes of Girl In Red, Garbage, Hole, and Wolf Alice with an undertone of Stevie Nicks, Marta Vega is already earmarked as one to watch.

Produced by Andrea Tripodi (Adriano Celentano, Biagio Antonacci, and Gianluca Grignani), ‘Bruised’ brings a tight soundscape of gritty guitar work, tight drums and warming bass under the radiant lead vocals. As the track grows through layers of subtle synth, piano and beautifully placed vocal harmonies, the track blossoms into an expansive chorus, before closing in a wall of fuzzy guitar tones and emotive lead vocals.

Talking about the recording of the track, Marta Vega explains: “A lot of the sounds from the original demo of ‘Bruised’ just stuck—we didn’t want to overwork it. Most of the verse vocals were done in one take, and we ended up keeping that original recording because it just felt real. That dark, moody synth sound is actually a piano we messed with—pitched it down, reversed it, added some distortion. It gave the whole track this kind of haunted vibe that we loved.”
