Loving by Foam~Star is a bittersweet ballad about lost love. As much as Loving is wistful, it has bittersweet elements that make you smile even as your heart aches. The nostalgic tone set against Foam~Star’s mellow vocals and acoustic instrumentation makes you long for simpler times. The tune used for the ballad is primarily pleasing and memorable, the lyrics are reflective of lost love, simple and yet beautiful. And, the composition of instrumentals on the song is divine. It’s not surprising Loving was recorded with a live band in the studio. Loving is the debut single from Foam~Star, which consists of Charles Bradbury (vocals, guitar, songwriting) and a large…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hYMMEKPrtk Eve Minor drops hard bars on Vibing a genre-bending track. On Vibing, Eve mixes trap beats, dubstep elements, and metal guitars to create a unique sound as she lets loose quick, rude, and witty bars. She is breaking every code in the genre rule book. Her willingness to cross the lines makes her desirable and appealing to watch. Eve Minor goes hard on Vibing  – she is a beast on the mic and a girl of many talents as she produces, engineers, and writes her own tracks. She delivers with confidence and sass. We’re looking forward to Eve Minor’s…

Gold by Rosalie is a powerful metaphor for life where nothing is ever truly broken. Rosalie sings about her trials, hardship, and healing on the backdrop of hauntingly and somber piano keys. She weaves her vocals carefully around the mellow instrumentals gently guiding us to the chorus to elevate spirits. Gold is the second song release on her double-single project called Alchemy. Rosalie drew inspiration for Gold from Kintsugi, a Japanese method for repairing broken pottery with a special lacquer mixed with gold. It is the idea of embracing flaws, and imperfections, to create an even more powerful, beautiful piece…

‘Coming Home’ by Tablefox plays out like a movie script, and you do not want it to end. The song begins with guitars blasting power chords, but it’s the catchy melody that instantly grabs your attention. It sounds like a song played in a movie when sparks fly for the first time between two characters. The song is about two people from opposite ends of the ideological spectrum connecting and having a thing. However, rather than their difference tearing them far apart, it only draws them closer together. Directors should get ideas for a movie script after listening to ‘Coming…

Rowlette’s Letters is a tale of lost friendships. It narrates the tale of a lost friendship in the form of a beautifully written prose, albeit as an indie-pop ballad. The gentle guitar joined by soft piano, and light bass provides the perfect template for the vocals. It helps convey the intimacy of the message and allows the lyrics to shine. The chorus is sweet and beautifully sung by Rowlette in her own unique style. “I wrote this song about a friend of mine that I hadn’t heard from in a while. We were always those kind of friends who could…

WIFEY by YourBoyMars Ft. Adrian Dzvuke is a banger. The afro-swing inspired song will get you dancing in no time. YourBoyMars, the 18-year-old Eritrean artist from Perth, Australia, lays catchy rhythmic vocals on African and Caribbean inspired instrumentals. YourBoyMars’ partnership with Adrian Dzvuke works as the two combine effortlessly, with each dropping catchy rap verses. The hook on WIFEY is sic, I could listen to it solely without the rap.

Shiloh, by Julia Church, resonates within. She possesses a unique ability to create highly emotive songs with meaning. We premiered her debut single Square 1 in 2019, which we greatly admired. And now Shiloh, the reflective mood set by the piano is a backdrop to her lyrics which are gentle and delicate. It accentuates her vocals, immersing you deep in the music, allowing you to absorb the message and intention of Shiloh.  “Shiloh” means place of peace. Shiloh is about my complex relationship with self-worth and making peace with who I am, in order to love someone else.” – Julia Church…

SLIM MUCHO drops gems on ‘SINCERELY MUCHO’ for whoever is smart enough to listen. On the backdrop of a nostalgic beat that could have been from the late ’90s, with crisps and incisive lyrics, he takes you through different phases of life joy, pain, regret, and desire. SLIM starts with a message about race issues in society, and he also speaks about the lack of loyalty in general. However, he also goes on to shout out those in his life who have his back. His cadence is calm and not aggressive, and his words clear and simple. SLIM MUCHO keeps…
