YIPPIE-KI-YAY. (Feat. T-Pain) DELUSIONAL. RED FLAG. LOVE FOREVER. THE ONE. BOY CRAZY. GLOW. TOO HARD. CATHEDRAL. Kesha Rose Serbet was born on March 1st, 1987 in Los Angeles, California. She is an American singer and songwriter. Her first major success came in the form of a feature on Flo Rida’s track “Right Round” in 2009. Through her genius artistry and branding, she propelled herself to major success. Two of her albums reached number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart. She has had major advocacy work with the Time’s Up movement, standing in support of women who have been victims of sexual harassment.  FREEDOM. The beginning track for Kesha’s new album creates intrigue with a mysterious piano melody. Vocals enter with harmonies that echo beautifully. Tension rises in the instrumental as the lyrics begin. Kesha describes the freedom of letting go and feeling good after a hard time. The percussion picks up with a groovy bass underneath, creating an exciting beat with sassy vocals that drives the song towards the end. “FREEDOM.” is the perfect song to begin this album, as it builds excitement for what is to come. JOYRIDE. “JOYRIDE.” initiates with an exciting percussion rhythm and chord progression in the introduction. This song is all about freedom and messiness, and embracing one’s true desires even if it can be a little crass sometimes. The lyrics take pride in this way of life, encouraging others to join in the party. A techno sound is continuous throughout the entire track. “JOYRIDE.” is the perfect song for partying and embracing the fun in life’s messiness. YIPPIE-KI-YAY. (Feat. T-Pain) This track begins with heavy autotune on the vocals that is reminiscent of early 2000s Kesha. I grew up listening to her early songs, so this made me feel very nostalgic. This song is about embracing happiness and fun after and in spite of hard times. The rhythmic cadence of the lyrics is similar to many folk or country songs. For this reason, the song gives me a homey feel that reminds me of my hometown. The T-Pain verse continues on the established rhythm before transitioning into a new rap, presenting a variety of sounds and attitudes for listeners to enjoy. DELUSIONAL. “DELUSIONAL.” begins with a synth intro that has an exciting but almost melancholic feeling. This track features clear vocals over groovy drums and echoey synths. The lyrics are about the pain of letting someone drain you and finally getting the power to leave them. There’s a lot of strength in realizing one’s own worth, and this song embodies it with the lyrics and the instrumentals. The vocal harmonies on the chorus create a unique emotional impact. When you leave someone who is holding you back, you get the ability to grow into your full potential, noted with lyrics such as “watch me gettin’ hotter on your cheap TV”. RED FLAG. This next track begins with an echoey electric guitar and vocals that lie on top of the guitar while also being integrated into the sound cleanly. Sometimes you meet someone who is bad for you, but you don’t care. You want to lean into the intrigue of a red flag. That’s what these lyrics describe. Vocal harmonies and groovy drums in the chorus create a nostalgic feeling, creating the sense of youthful fun found in chaotic and wild connections. Sometimes you want something fun and exciting after being emotionally injured in serious commitment. LOVE FOREVER. “LOVE FOREVER.” begins with repetitive lyrics with an electronic tone. It is an extremely human experience to desire a dreamt love story, which is what the lyrics of this track want to describe. More importantly, wanting this beautiful connection with a particular person. This song is an emotional request, seen in the vulnerability presented in the more exposed nature of the vocals and thinner instrumentation in the pre-chorus. The verse on top of the guitar and drums have a summery feel, adding to the yearning while also creating a fun atm osphere. THE ONE. For the introduction for “THE ONE.”, there is a trumpet fanfare in the beginning that feels victorious, combining with synths that creates that signature Kesha sound. Through heartbreak, sometimes you are able to find solace in yourself. This song is about recognizing your own worth through devastating. The belting vocals on top of the trumpet fanfare and drums in the chorus create that victorious feeling, because being able to choose yourself above all is a victory. You stay with yourself for your entire life, so you need to find home in your own body and mind. This song presents this idea beautifully. BOY CRAZY. This next track begins with an automatic voice chanting the lyrics, before transitioning into vocals that imitate the automated voice with audio effects and low, even tone over the pulsing percussion. This song jumps out to me because it talks about men in a similar way that songs have talked about women in the past. However, rather than sounding vengeful, it’s empowering. It is taking pride in sexuality. This song will no doubt raise heart rates and spirits of listeners everywhere. GLOW. “ GLOW.” has a retro sounding introduction and reminds me of old arcade games. These lyrics are about turning someone away once it is clear they’re not meant for you. This could be in their lifestyle, attitude, or actions. Furthermore, you are able to glow after leaving these connections as they truly hold you back from taking pride in your accomplishments and acknowledging your own worth. The percussion is pervasive in the entire song and ties the varying tones of the songs together in a tasteful way as Kesha experiments within her own genre. TOO HARD. This song is about feeling betrayed by someone you though would support you through anything. It’s about loving someone in spite of the pain because you cannot bring yourself to truly hate them. The low vocals feel vulnerable while also seeming a little resentful. Sometimes you want to heal someone, but it’s not enough, and they end up dragging you down with them. This song is repetitive in nature but no less moving. CATHEDRAL. “CATHEDRAL”. has a mellow introduction, contrasting the rest of the album while also calling back to the introductory track. Through beautiful celestial imagery and Kesha’s powerful vocals, this song describes coming back to yourself after experiencing pain and grief. Piano is the main backing track, creating a powerfully moving sound while vocal harmonies and string tones create a distinctly emotional experience. The ending chorus pulls in the electric sounds from the rest of the album as the lyrics describe turning outward energy that was being spent on partying and other people back inward and promoting healing and growth. My favorite track off of this album is, without a doubt, the ending song “CATHEDRAL.” This song carries a strong message to leave listeners with as they finish out the album while communicating it through beautiful imagery and strong lyricism. The instrumental is also incredibly stunning, combining a variety of aural tastes that tie together tastefully into one track. Kesha’s vocal and lyrical prowess are some of the most impressive and underrated in the industry and seeing her truly flex her abilities is incredibly moving and inspiring for listeners everywhere.

Grappling with the harsh reality of experiencing unrequited love, Gonzo Mendes has released his latest single, "Risk Looking Like A Fool." A personal track for the artist, Mendes shares, "I wrote this track about the real life experience of telling someone how you feel and not have it be reciprocated. Not just about being disappointed, but also being lied to when the other person can't be straightforward and clear about how they feel. I wrote it as it happened and it helped me process it, especially after turning it into an energetic positive sounding, upbeat indie pop song, despite the lyrics being about a tough experience." A stark contrast to the song's poignant narrative, Gonzo Mendes' "Risk Looking Like A Fool" is a peppy blend of pop-rock and indie-pop filled with a light-hearted, carefree attitude. The track's soundscape features a mix of compelling, rich instrumentals, driven by funky guitar riffs, grooving bass lines, and spunky beats that rival Tom Misch's "Red Moon." Complementing the single's masterful composition, Mendes delivers addictive melodies with finesse, showing off crisp, smooth vocals that convey the right amount of honesty and emotion about the artist's situation without letting the playful, refreshing mood slip away. Currently based in Seattle, Gonzo Mendes is an artist, songwriter, and producer originally from Portugal. He's a classically trained guitarist, later branching out into songwriting and production in his teenage years as he was involved with local bands and projects in the city of Porto. Mendes explores a variety of genres that range from soulful and beat driven to indie-folk songs, drawing inspiration from artists like Tom Misch, Jamie Cullum , FKJ , and Daniel Caesar. Aiming to build his platform, Mendes is releasing a new song every month and will be consistently performing live as he expands his audience.

Rising London-based pop artist, Allegra, expresses the intoxicating and fated power of human connection, where passion, intimacy, and love co-exist. Allegra’s cleverly titled single, "Wildfire," inspires audiences to live a life consumed by hope as opposed to fear. The original, symbolic, and heartfelt hit voices a reality built on the embracement of vulnerability. There is a raw and buzzing intimacy found in Allegra’s storytelling. Her stimulating and dynamic soundscape is brilliantly paired with brutally honest, simple, and charged lyrics, innately delivering a heightened sound that parallels the divided experience of chaos versus peace (fear vs courage). In this case, the balance relies on having faith in the development of interpersonal connections and accepting its impact. Emotional intimacy and its core embodiments design trust, communication, and resilience to be key factors in the speaker’s climatic and emotional journey. The song’s narrative is framed to follow an urgent speaker delivering a liberating message on unity. The speaker’s persuasive, yet confident tone, guides the tune to hold a unique take on the rapid and at times uncomfortable truth, behind all-consuming connections. Allegra’s innovative and witty wordplay with the title itself, “Wildfire,” explores the typical unbounded and rampant effect of devastating fires to instead represent free and united interpersonal connections. Because of this, the word wildfire is defined in a positive light, where intense feelings of passion and undoubted vulnerability are linked with a vigorous and sturdy sense of unity. Allegra’s rich and vivid sound, both in voice and track, successfully create an electrifying, thrilling, and fierce atmosphere enhanced by simple, yet layered storytelling.

The song’s introduction is grounded by Allegra’s soulful vocals. Every lyric feels lived and incredibly sincere. From the start, Allegra’s gripping storytelling shines: “We’re catchin’ eyes / So try not to blink / Like you’re readin’ my mind / Now we’re interlinked / Don’t be afraid / We’ll move like a flame.” The initial spark and link between both parties is established within seconds. There is a mutual understanding at play, where the connection’s energy carries so much force it simply can’t be ignored. This interpretation is manifested by the soundtrack’s controlled, yet staggering sound. Allegra’s instrumental track is composed of steady electronic synths that progress and evolve throughout time, and create a dreamy and infectious environment. As the song’s narrative progresses, so does its tame and controlled soundscape. You can feel the emotional momentum through the instrumental build up, where animated rhythms and vibrating beats, outpour a surge of vibrant energy. As a whole, Allegra’s lyrics intertwine imagery of wildfires, lighters, and twin flames to depict the depth of human connection, and overall, unity. It is truly breathtaking: “We could start a wildfire / You’re the match and I’m the lighter, lighter /…/ I’ll keep you safe / Like we’re twin flames.” By the end, Allegra solidifies her commanding and immersive artistic presence. The hit single will without a doubt leave audiences simultaneously awestruck, and longing for the chance to hit a buzzing dancefloor.  The UK-based pop artist, Allegra, has stamped herself as the next hit sound through her powerhouse vocals, engaging storytelling, and addicting pop-electric sound.

Photography: @saracorradoart “Vinegar and Honey (Written About Me)” is the newest single from Shelby Sanborn , a song about wanting closure from a past relationship. While it was short, it left an impact on the singer because it was during an important time in her life. Now, her ex is reaching out after years apart, which is causing her to consider getting back together with them. Sanborn recounts how the relationship went, and explains that there were good moments, but overall, she didn’t feel they were truly meant to be. This is making her unsure as to whether or not she should get back in touch with her ex; she may still have feelings, but she knows they’re incompatible. The tropical, sand between your toes, and warm sunny weather-esque production of “Vinegar and Honey (Written About Me)” is intertwined with elegance and class, which is exuded in the guitar chords and melodies. The song is primarily acoustic, with some synths, but not too much to overshadow the instrumentation. The overall sound is very lovely, and listening to the song feels like walking alongside the shore of a beach at sunset. This is supplemented by the drums, which add to the whole beachy vibe of “Vinegar and Honey (Written About Me)". Sanborn also has amazing vocals and provides fantastic harmonies throughout the single. Shelby Sanborn is a virtuoso music artist and actress from San Diego, California. She began singing and performing covers of songs at a young age, and as mentioned in the song, she studied music and songwriting at Berklee College. She began her music career in July 2018 with the release of her debut single “Desperately in Love”. In June 2019, she released her debut album Home Without a House . She has released other fantastic music in addition to her debuts and her new single, including the songs "Overcome", "Living in Winter", and "Chained to the Past".

Finding time for yourself is the most important thing you can do for yourself. As we get older, and more responsibilities come into our life we tend to neglect so many things. We stop doing the things we love like our hobbies, and we disconnect from those that are closest to us. But, most importantly we lose ourselves by not taking the time to do those things that we enjoy so much. An hour or even a day to just sit and reconnect with us is the best gift we can do for ourselves. Latti Patterson released her latest single on June 20, 2025, titled “A Feeling That I’ll Never Forget.” A song that reminds us not to be afraid of ourselves and have faith that we can overcome anything life throws at us.   “A Feeling That I’ll Never Forget” opens with such a nostalgic rhythm. It reminded me of hope and new beginnings which I absolutely loved. Her voice was also super happy and cheerful which made the mood of the song so amazing. I couldn’t get enough of this track from the lyrics to the message. It was all around fantastic. I also loved the steady instrumentals throughout it made the song so familiar and homey. I almost immediately added this song to my everyday vibes playlist as it brings about so much joy.   Latti Patterson is a singer/songwriter from Bakersfield, California. She started releasing music back in 2023 with her first single titled “I Want You.” Since then, she has released regularly making sure each of her songs resonate with anyone who listens. While she creates her own songs she also produced, recorded and mixed her latest track “A Feeling That I’ll Never Forget.” If you haven’t already listened to this wonderful song, I highly recommend you doing so.

The pressure to create the traditional “nuclear family” can hit hard, but with added pressure of figuring out your future in a same sex couple can make it feel nearly impossible. Philine’s latest song “ten years time” details this struggle, but inevitably concludes that life is hard enough to work through, so thinking of all of the negatives in the future takes away from all of the positives right now. She reminds herself that even if their future family does not look the same as everyone else's, at least she gets to love her wife truly and fully, and enjoy the time that they have together. She says, “It’s a gentle reassurance that life will work itself out, serving as a reminder to live in the present rather than getting lost in uncertainty.” “Ten years time” has a simplistic soundscape, with a slight electric guitar and drum beats growing with her voice as she carries along through her story. The first verse discusses their conversations about kids and marriage, who would carry the baby and whether or not to legally marry. Despite these disagreements, in the chorus she sings, “Forget about ten years time / Forget about down the line / Focus on the feeling that you can’t resist / The future’s full of reasons that you can’t predict, oh”. In the outro, the soundscape grows for a second until it explodes, emphasizing the message philine brings forth as she repeats the lyrics sung in the chorus. Her voice is simple and heartfelt, leaving the lyrics here to tell the story for her. Philine is from a small town in the Netherlands, and grew up with music playing a large part of her childhood. Her mother instilled her love for this artform in her, being a kindergarten aged music teacher and constantly playing the guitar around the house. Her music has turned into a way to get her own thoughts out of her head and into real life, and listeners love her authenticity and ability to put feelings into words. She says, “During the writing process, I spent a lot of time inside of my brain. I have a huge imagination, and I’m a big overthinker. I tend to live in fantasy more than reality. I get so caught up with how I perceive things and my almost movie like version of life.” Make sure to follow the social medias below to stay tuned for more music from philine.

Loving someone is such a beautiful thing and getting to experience life with them is even better. But somewhere along the way you lose sight of what is going on around you. All of those memories seem to flash right before you as the world we live in is ever changing. While it may be a difficult time to go through, having that connection will keep the love and feelings the same.   “Homeland” begins with the most beautiful melody I have ever heard. I was immediately hooked from the very first few seconds. Her vocals were so passionate and powerful at every possible second. I also absolutely loved the lyrics with lines like “How do I grieve a future from my dreams?” and “Forget the borders, the troubles and the pain.” Everything about this track seemed so fresh and raw I simply could not get enough of it. The track also gave off such a hopeful mood with its steady beats and soft instrumentals.   The talented artist Farrah is a British Iranian singer/songwriter.

* I quit by HAIM via haimofficial.com HAIM just released their highly anticipated fourth studio album, I quit. The project contains a flawless 15-track run that immediately reels in listeners from the very first note. The album's lead singles, such as "Relationships" and "Down to be wrong," gave listeners a taste of what the project would hold – a mix of the band's iconic sound and a fresh take on the alt-rock genre. With the release of I quit , HAIM rightfully earned their way as one of my top favorite releases of 2025. TRACK LIST Gone All over me Relationships Down to be wrong Take me back Love you right The farm Lucky stars Million Years Everybody's trying to figure me out Try to feel my pain Spinning Cry Blood on the street Now it's time BIO HAIM is an American rock band based in Los Angeles. The band is composed of three sisters, Este (vocals and bass guitar), Danielle (lead vocals, guitar, and drums), and Alana (vocals, guitars, and keyboards). All three members are proficient in more instruments than what they are well-known for, showing their well-rounded artistry and talent. They grew up in a musical family, playing instruments from a young age in the cover band, Rockinhaim, fronted by their parents. In 2005, Este and Danielle performed with the pop group, Valli Girls, before forming a band with their youngest sister in 2007. Since then, they have made massive waves in the industry, headlining successful tours for each album, opening for big names such as Taylor Swift (1989 World Tour, The Eras Tour), Florence and the Machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Rihanna, and earning several Grammy Award nominations, including for Best New Artist at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards and Album of the Year at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards. HAIM is hitting the road to promote I quit -- make sure you buy your tickets today! Gone HAIM kicks off their album with the unique alt-rock anthem, “Gone.” The track was the last song the band wrote for the album and the result of wanting a flawless introduction to the project, which was executed to perfection. The song blends the sounds of both modern and classic rock, soul, and blues. The lyrics explore the freedom of leaving an unhealthy relationship and embracing being true to oneself. The song emulates the band’s carefree attitude, setting the stage for the immaculate album. All over me The album instantly changes its tune with the second track. “All Over Me” is a sensual song about yearning to be with someone. The lyrics pair well with the sultry rock sound as the narrator admits to their muse her deepest desire. She tells them, “I want you all over me.” She doesn’t care if it's their lover’s bed or her floor – she just wants to be with them in the most intimate moments. Relationships “Relationships” is the lead single from the album, propelling fans into the band’s latest era. The song delves into the intricacies of relationships, feeling frustrated in the never-ending cycle of love and loss. The simple hook ingeniously wraps up the entire message with the line: “I think I’m in love, but I can’t stand fuckin’ relationships.” Despite the exhausting storyline, the track contains an insanely catchy melody that ensures “Relationships” plays on repeat in the listener’s mind. Down to be wrong “Down to be wrong” is a sultry track with soothing vocals and bluesy soundscapes. Danielle’s stunning voice immediately lulls the listener into the song, kicking off with the infectious chorus. The track instantly became one of my favorites the moment it was released. The lyrics share the story of the bitter end of a relationship, where the narrator recognizes the sacrifices they have made to make it work. But in the end, their subject never did the same. So, while the narrator walks away, their muse says they are wrong to leave. But they are “down to be wrong // don’t need to be right,” if it means they are choosing what is best for them. Take me back The album picks back up with the infectious track, “Take me back.” The instrumentation creates a bouncy, lively atmosphere that emulates the perfect summer soundtrack.  The song is a nostalgic trip to the past, exploring their high school experiences and reminiscing on the memories – the good and the bad. The brutally honest verses that expose the gritty realities contrast with the energetic “take me back” choruses. The song provides a unique perspective on the intricacies of growing up. Love you right Don’t let the joyful, folksy soundscape of “Love you right” fool you. The whimsical track may consist of lively energy, but the lyrics are far from it. The song explores the narrator's inability to love their partner right. No matter what she does, she is unable to fully commit to treating them in the way they want. She finds herself conflicted and stuck in this push-and-pull relationship. The bouncy folk-rock soundscape complements Danielle’s earthy voice, making it one of the best songs on the album. The farm “The farm” maintains the folksy soundscape with the raw vocals and an acoustic guitar-led melody. The track’s Americana-influenced instrumentation matches the title well, the genre being associated with farms. It is what makes HAIM so refreshing, because their music is truly art that takes inspiration from all genres and lives. The song shares the sad ending to a relationship, where Danielle tells her ex: “So we could keep on tryin’ // Or we could sell the farm // Just buy me out.” This imagery evokes the dilemma of the couple – keep fighting even though there’s no use, or give up and move on from their relationship. Lucky stars After the heart-wrenching songs, HAIM picks up the mood with an optimistic track about exciting beginnings. The song's bright instrumentation pairs well with the lyrics, instantly boosting the listener’s spirits. Danielle’s infectious voice sings sweet lines such as “You were down to change your plans // You found me in a foreign land // Picked me up when I was down // Yeah, honey, I was stranded.” This person has brought the narrator out of the darkness, just like the song changed the atmosphere of the album. Million years “Million years” continues the positive energy with a psychedelic soundscape and a wonderous ode to the muse – Alana’s sisters. No matter what, the three of them have two built-in best friends who are always there for each other. Just like they are there for her, she will always have their backs. She tells them: “I’ll carry you on my back // Even if it takes a million years.” The beautiful message can be dedicated to anyone in your life who has your unconditional support – familial, romantic, or platonic. Everybody's trying to figure me out Danielle has revealed that “Everybody’s trying to figure me out” was written after experiencing a panic attack after tour. As someone who suffers from anxiety and has had her fair share of panic attacks, the song resonates deeply with me. At the end of the chorus, they sing: “I lost count of the ticking clocks, baby // And I can’t feel my lungs.” This imagery describes what a panic attack feels like – you lose control of your breathing, and time seems to simultaneously slow down and speed up. Everything is in disarray, and you feel like you will not make it out alive. The song’s outro takes this feeling and reassures the listener – “you think you’re gonna die, but you’re not gonna die.” When someone is in the midst of a panic attack, they often fear that their heart is going to give out and they are experiencing death. But they aren’t. HAIM effortlessly encapsulates this feeling and makes their audience feel less alone. Try to feel my pain “Try to feel my pain” returns to the common theme of inevitable heartbreak. The alt-rock song shares the story of a relationship that the narrator no longer feels happy in. The love has fizzled out, and maybe it was never truly there, but the couple lets it continue despite knowing it should end. In the chorus, they state: “I’ll hide away my pain // I'll try to hide my pain // But I don’t know which way.” They are working their best to keep their emotions bottled up, but know the truth will come out in the end. Spinning “Spinning” is a very unique track in that it is the very first song in which Alana led vocals. The track was the result of a brand-new relationship that had her stomach full of butterflies and her eyes full of stars. Quickly after, the relationship ended, and Alana’s partner never even knew the song was written about him. However, the sweet track filled with lyrics of blooming love continues to live on forever – and isn’t that what music is really all about? Preserving memories for all to enjoy. Cry Similar to the previous track, “Cry” is the first track that Este sings lead on. The song explores the ending of the bass player-turned-lead singer’s five-year-long relationship. Her stunning vocals lull the listener in with the heavenly intro as she sings, “And I just cry, cry, cry // And I don’t know why // And I just cry.” Then, the production suddenly switches to the electrifying soft rock soundscape that contains both pop and country influences, providing something for everyone. With the introduction of Este’s talented, and underappreciated, vocals and the genre-blending soundscape, “Cry” instantly became one of my favorite tracks on I quit. Blood on the street “Blood on the street” is a stunning ballad that reminds me of Chris Stapleton's country hit “Tennessee Whiskey” – but with more sick guitar riffs. The steady drum beat and mesmerizing strings soothe listeners and make them fall in love with the band all over again. Each sister leads a verse, giving Este and Alana more time to shine. About the song, the band says the track is a “fuck you for fucking me over” to people who have done them wrong. The well-rounded track showcases each of the artists’ talents – vocal and instrumental – making it perhaps the best song on the album. Now it's time HAIM closes out the album with the fiery track, “Now it’s time.” The song starts with a sick intro that immediately draws in the listener and makes them intrigued by what’s to come. The distorted guitar and steady drumbeat feel reminiscent of Alanis Morrisette, despite the track interpolating U2’s “Numb” guitar riff. The chill atmosphere coincides with the song’s message, as the band puts the stories told through I quit  to bed. They close the album with the lyric, “I never gave two fucks anyway.” This concludes the project by revealing to their muses that while there is a whole album about them, they have moved on. This ingenious conclusion is a brilliant example of HAIM’s underrated songwriting talent and proves they are one of the best rock bands of this generation. I quit by HAIM is an incredibly well-rounded alt-rock album that has something for everyone. With Danielle's sultry vocals, Este's deep basslines, and Alana's sick guitar riffs, the project highlights the individual talent of each sister. Together, they complement one another and truly create art that is timeless and unforgettable. This is even more apparent in their live performances, and if you are able to attend their upcoming tour, do it. You will be mesmerized by their commanding stage presence and stunning talent.
