  • Review: "PURPLE CLOUDS" - Moniah

    There are countless days where we go without being with our significant other and it can feel like forever. Being in their presence and feeling that connection Is quite possibly the best feeling in the world. While we are out living our dreams and creating a future for ourselves, they are always there to cheer us on. But that doesn’t take away from the fact that they aren’t with us, and they aren’t experiencing these chapters of life with us. Moniah’s latest track “PURPLE CLOUDS” is a fun and catchy track about missing your other half while also staying true to yourself and chasing your dreams. “PURPLE CLOUDS” is such a feel-good upbeat track with so many musical elements to it. I personally loved the upbeat drum tone the entire song had. Paired with these beats were the clapping rhythms which I thought added that soulful, groovy mood. Her vocals were also seriously outstanding. She went from powerful and bouncy with lyrics like “Purple clouds will bring me home“ and “Making rhymes to the beat and yeah I love it (love it).” It was such a vibe filled song and I for one couldn’t get enough.   Moniah is a singer/songwriter who is based in London, United Kingdom. She found her passion for creating music at a very young age and has since then made quite the name for herself. I found her music to be so powerful and uplifting but also so personal at the same time making her a unique artist. Her genre can be compared to R&B artists like Beyonce and Doja Cat while also adding pop elements here and there. “PURPLE CLOUDS” is just one of five great tracks on her latest EP titled “ANYWHERE BUT HERE.” I highly recommend giving her a listen and be sure to follow her socials below and follow along on her musical journey.

  • Review: "HEARTBREAK GETAWAY" - Sara King

    Sara King's "HEARTBREAK GETAWAY" is a journey with dazzling moments of self-discovery after a shattered romance. The best way to numb the pain, it seems, is to run from it. King sets a scene reminiscent of a New York City night, full of movement, mystery, and the promise of excitement. Each shining light, smoke break, dark street, and passing stranger distracts King from the lingering heartache. But the unfamiliarity of the big city is a reminder of why we're here—heartbreak. "No matter how far I go, I can't escape," King sings. It's a beautiful push and pull between the past that haunts us and the love that awaits on the other side of leaving the comfort zone. "HEARTBREAK GETAWAY" blends heartache, exploration, and glamor with the power of sound. Her lyrics strike a balance between catchy and poetic. King's warm voice adds a soft, ethereal essence to each word. The second verse moves like a movie montage. Adrenaline rises as the beat propels the thrilling narrative, like you're running by King's side through the experience. Echoes of nostalgia and elements of the '80s beam in the synthesizers. The shimmering arpeggio sprinkles sweetness over the bitter reason why King needs a ticket to get away. Sara King's music style revolves around a modern retro sound. She reveals that she has a range of contemporary and older influences, such as Lana Del Rey , The Marías, Patsy Cline , and Billie Holiday . In 2013, she started uploading covers to YouTube. Since then, she has built a large audience. In 2018, she released her debut album, HEAT, a romantic medley of indie pop she created with producer Luke Jr.. Her latest EP, Orchid, released in 2023, shows how she has continued to develop a soft, dreamy atmosphere mixed with retro elements. In addition to music, Sara King is a creative director for her clothing brand, Little Cowboy. Her range of creativity is evidence of her knowledge and expression of the vintage world.

  • Review: "Too Many Ways" - Lexi Faye

    In a new single titled “Too Many Ways”, rising singer songwriter Lexi Faye discusses her hardships with working through anxiety and depression. There are also overlapping themes of the struggles in everyone’s general lives, like grief and loss of friendship. Growing up in a society like ours, there are many ways to feel beat down and battered by the tests one endured. Faye’s song not only acknowledges these facts, but also finds a way to be uplifting and look for the silver linings. She realizes that although there are hardships, you must overcome what is thrown at you, because that is simply life. The soundscape is calming and slow, with a repetitive finger picked guitar line. The lack of overbearing instrumentals and vocals allows Faye’s message to shine through and truly hit home. Faye states that she started with the first line of this song, and then built the premise off of the question that she continuously asks herself. This track’s opening line is “Who knew there was more than one way to die / Broken hearts and backstabbing knives”. Starting strong with a tough subject, she gathers these ‘ways to die’ and lists many other harms in the world, and many things that have brought her down. However, she ends the chorus with the sentiment “You don't stop breathing by just saying goodbye”. A simple line, she acknowledges that, while it might feel like the end of the world, saying goodbye to someone else is not the end of your own life. The bridge truly hones in this idea, with these repeated two lines: “I wish someone told me / That breathing doesn't mean that you're living / I wish someone told me / That your heart doesn't have to stop beating” Seventeen year old singer-songwriter Lexi Faye may have only recently broken into the professional music world, but she is no stranger to the art behind it. Starting writing her own music at age fourteen, she has now honed her craft and found her groove and style. Based in Colorado, she traveled to Nashville to record this track and two others, which she says is no doubt the highlight of her career so far. “It was a dream come true,” she says. “These songs are everything I could ever want them to be.” Make sure to follow the social medias below to stay tuned for more music from Lexi Faye.

  • Review: "Dive" - Avamarie

    With so many thoughts about the what ifs in life it’s hard to not imagine what the outcome would be. Everyday a new thought about your career, your relationships and your life come into play. You ask yourself is this the right choice to be made right now? Will there be another opportunity like this or will I miss my chance? Will I regret doing or not doing something in a week or even five years from now? There is always something to be considered and there is always going to be something better to come. Avamarie released her brand new single “Dive” on April 8, 2025, which gives off the positive message to not think twice about whatever the opportunity or life changing event and simply go after it. *“Dive” is such a feel-good song with its funky tone mixed with pop elements. The song opens up with a fun upbeat rhythm before moving into her soft, euphoric vocals. One thing I would love to highlight on is the way she overlays her lyrics. You can hear her beautiful voice with its positive message but then come the layered vocals adding so much soul to the track. With lyrics like “Dive in cause this water’s different” and “Don’t let nothing cloud your vision no / Need you to focus.” This entire song was absolutely flawless in every possible way from the amazing vibe it gave off to its powerful filled lyrics right down to her gifted vocals.   Avamarie is a singer/songwriter from Rochester, New York. With her Italian roots she has always been surrounded by her huge family and their unwavering support in anything she did. While she is a musical artist, she is also an actress, model and dancer who grew up around the theater and dance realms. These very interests of hers since she was a little girl have shaped the woman she is today. They have given her the great confidence and outstanding energy to be able to release a song that is so vulnerable yet relatable such as “Dive.” Avamarie is such an inspiration and the meaning behind her latest single encompasses everything she is and more. I for one can’t wait to see what else this all around talented artist has in store for us next!

  • Review: "hotel" - Ana Kahan

    Situationships are very difficult to process. The romance shifting from hot to cold for seemingly no reason, putting in effort without seeing it reciprocated, and being treated as an option rather than “the one” is all undeniably painful. Ana Kahan creates a heartfelt story that is a true representation of these conflicting, overwhelming emotions that come with situationships in her song “hotel”. Even with all the negatives of a situationship, there are moments where the positive moments are strong enough to convince you to hold on to the relationship. A sudden influx of gifts, compliments, loving words and touches - its what you have always wanted from that person, and now that they've began to give what your heart has been craving, its hard for you to pull away from them again. Unfortunately, the reality tends to be that its not hard for them to pull away from you, especially when their affection only comes in limited quantities before disappearing again. This constant back and forth and internal debates of "do they?" or "don't they?" can truly alter how you feel as a person and how you navigate love. The lyric "You pay for dinner and wine and it's a delicate line. Is it love or just a hotel?" conveys these feelings and inner conflicting emotions perfectly. How can someone treat you so nicely, dote on you, and be affectionate only for you to realize it was a one sided, empty love when they walk away as if it all meant nothing? This is a question that can run through your mind as you listen to Ana Kahan's "hotel" and get reminded that you are not alone in this experience. Ana Kahan has a very distinct voice that has incredible range and variety. Her tone is very clear and full, making each lyric she enunciates easy to feel and understand. The background music and piano compliments Ana Kahan’s vocals throughout the song. There are also moments where there are echoes of Kahan’s voice in the background, which adds an almost ethereal vibe to the song that makes it feel as if you will float away with her vocals. The simplicity of the piano and the supporting music makes the power of Kahan’s vocals and powerful lyricism really shine through. It feels like a calm, Summer’s night drive with the windows down imbued into one amazing song. “hotel” ends similarly to how it began: with a question that Kahan seems to be trying desperately to understand throughout the length of the song. “hotel” is a very moving song. It is the type of song that you must listen to in silence while grasping the full meaning of every deep lyric. The silence will continue even once the song is over as you are left reflecting on your own experiences that Kahan conveys so beautifully through her song.  Los Angeles-born Ana Kahan is a vocalist and songwriter with music that is equally as powerful and inspiring as she is. While studying vocal performance at the Frost School of Music in Miami, Ana Kahan went through two difficult battles with cancer. The surgery left her with a paralyzed vocal cord, but after years of recovery and radiation, Ana Kahan reclaimed her voice with amazing resilience. Her passion for singing and music has never faded. Ana Kahan has dreamed of being a singer since she was very young. Now, she is re-emerging in the music scene to continue pursuing her unwavering passion for music.
