Rachel Swain – Old Familiar Way

Good evening, everyone! I didn’t expect this song “Old Familiar Way” by Rachel Swain to stick with me the way it did. I really loved every second and found myself singing the chorus a few hours later. There’s something unique…

Moonroof – Massachusetts

I’ve been keeping up with this band Moonroof for a while now, so this wasn’t a random listen for me. It was more like checking in on a band I already trust a lot. I remember writing about them last…

Maya Lumen – Maynard’s Song

I didn’t read anything about “Maynard’s Song” before hitting play which I’m glad about now. It’s the kind of track that works better when you just let it sit with you. It stays soft the whole time. No sudden shifts,…

theophilia – Big Bang

Swedish writer and producer theophilia just dropped “Big Bang” a 10-track album that doesn’t sit still for long. I played it through once, then ended up going back almost immediately. Not because I missed something, but because it felt different…

Varshana – Mystic Ringing

Varshana just landed on my radar with her amazing new single “Mystic Ringing”. I put it on last night without really expecting that groove to stick the way it did. It’s got that easy reggae bounce, but it doesn’t feel…

Shane Revers just landed on my radar with his new release “Inside Room 17”. I didn’t sit down with this record planning to write anything. It was one of those late-night listens where you just press play and see what…

“People Pleaser” by Katie Belle slipped into my playlist recently. It didn’t take long before I realized it was the kind of pop track that stays with you which I was looking for. Not because it’s flashy or over the…

Lilia Asha – Gaslighted

I just discovered this new masterpiece. “Gaslighted” by Lilia Asha is a soft pop song and carries a lot of feeling inside it. The arrangement is mostly acoustic so it leaves space for the story to sit in the center.…

Magdi Aboul-Kheir – Slow Heat

Magdi Aboul-Kheir’s new album “Slow Heat” runs for almost an hour (50min) and it’s the kind of record that calmly fills the room while you sit there letting it unfold. 10 instrumental pieces move at their own pace and the…

June The Destroyer – Hurry

I ended up playing this amazing album “Hurry” late at night with the lights low and my phone face down on the desk. It’s the right way to hear it. This album carries a lot of thoughts about living in…

Sutlej – Let Me Out

I discovered Sutlej a few days ago while digging through new releases and I’m honestly glad I clicked on this one. Some bands try the grunge sound but smooth it out too much. That’s not the case here. Their new…

Debbie M – Hold On To

Debbie M just landed on my radar with a new single called “Hold On To”. It’s a soft and emotional pop song that will get you stuck on constant repeat. The song opens with calm piano and her voice right…
