  • Review: “Out to Get Us” - Anny Ogrezeanu

    I think it’s safe to say it’s been a long time since I’ve listened to a song I’ve resonated with as much as this one. “Out to Get Us” is the debut single by Anny Ogrezeanu, and is a ballad about the freedom to be yourself. Ogrezeanu is non-binary, and says that they wrote the song to highlight the absurdity of how people can feel threatened by change that has no impact on them whatsoever. I’m a lesbian, so I can relate to this completely. Ogrezeanu says they hope this song can resolve this issue once and for all, and I can only hope the same. It’s an incredible piece, with beautifully written lyrics that genuinely had me in tears by the end of it. When a song has such powerful lyrics like “Out to Get Us”, it’s important it also has some impactful instrumentals, as well. Thankfully, Ogrezeanu has us covered. The song opened with an almost orchestral sound with violins and a piano. Then, Ogrezeanu starts to sing. I genuinely began to tear up the second they opened their mouth. Ogrezeanu has an incredibly powerful voice that I think is perfect for a song like this. You can hear the emotion and desperation in their voice so clearly, something I find most artists struggle to do these days. Anny Ogrezeanu is a German-Romanian singer and songwriter, and as I said before, this is only their debut single. Incredible… I know! You may recognize Ogrezeanu as the 2022 winner of The Voice of Germany, an accomplishment they made after 5 unsuccessful attempts to get a spot on the show. Their cover of Calum Scott’s iconic “Run With Me” has over 3 million streams on Spotify to date, a cover that they actually got to re-record with Scott for the show! Ogrezeanu has always been vocal about their struggles, as well as their passions and values. I’m excited to see how else Ogrezeanu takes lessons and struggles from their life to turn them into art. “Out to Get Us” is streaming everywhere now, so go and listen today!

Doing so, I discovered the 5 gems of wisdom for health and happiness. ‘Beautiful Day’ is the soundtrack to self-discovery and joy." A powerful, uplifting anthem, "Beautiful Day (Healing House Version)" takes the commercial pop vibe of the original recording and artfully combines it with EDM to give the song an energizing, restoring soundscape. The track features dazzling synths, driving beats, electrifying melodies, and Posner's exhilarating vocals, propelling listeners out of the dark and into the light.

  • Review: "Fast" - Cole Jacob

    Live in the shoes of your past, present, and future with “Fast” from artist Cole Jacob. “Fast” details the love a parent feels for their child, going beyond the threshold of most “typical” pop-adjacent song descriptions. Starting off with light piano, the introduction to the song is heartfelt and beautifully personal. Jacob matches the tone of the piano exactly – his voice sounding almost like an instrument itself alongside delicately tapped piano keys. Beyond the first stage of the song, Jacob leans into detail-heavy lyrics dedicated to both his child and parents & children all around. This stage of the song highlights the overarching themes of “Fast”: growth; love; connection; family. Not only does this display the true nature of this lovable and lighthearted tune but additionally shows the talent & care Jacob put into making the track.  On top of bringing a real, defining topic to the table with “Fast”, Jacob includes lyrics that are both finely detailed and well-written. Examples of clever metaphors, such as Jacob representing the side of a road while his child, representing a moving car, passes him by are just one subject of proof that Jacob is a gifted songwriter with good heart & intention. Throughout the song, he mentions common themes that many parents experience but are not talked often about. Themes such as worrying about missing out on certain aspects of their child’s life, not doing enough, attempting not to take things for granted, etc., trouble him but also remind him to spend time with his child and savor that time with them. These are things that not only speak heavily to parents but additionally to people who do not have children – regardless, the nature of the song speaks for itself and can touch the heart of anyone. This song especially spoke to me through its use of pace along with Jacob’s lyrics, starting off with light piano and picking up to stronger vocals and bringing a more “floaty” and multi-layered instrumental experience. While love is not a difficult thing to depict, parent-child relationships are not often discussed as much as other kinds of connections – with “Fast”, you are thrown back & forth throughout time and reminded of love in all its forms. Cole Jacob is a singer-songwriter from Alberta, Canada. His music mainly includes a chill, relaxed vibe with heartfelt intent. Jacob is a Christian and holds faith close to his heart. Recently, Jacob became a father and has incorporated his experience as a parent into his music making process. Additionally, he channels his love for his wife into his song making and writes about the love from that relationship. Jacob released his first single, “Without Love”, in 2019 and put out his first album, “Neither Here Nor There”, in 2023. While his content has changed over time, he consistently creates songs from the heart that are made with pure intent and admiration for the people in his life.   Written By Madison Spies FOLLOW COLE JACOB: Instagram | Spotify  | TikTok  | Facebook  | YouTube

For "can't get it out," Meyer takes inspiration from Scandipop, dance, and indie pop artists like The 1975 and LÉON.

This experience with overthinking is set against the backdrop of a danceable production. If you have ever kept your feelings to yourself because you just didn't know how to articulate it, this track will resonate with you. Rosalie Meijer, known professionally as Rosie Meyer, is a budding singer-songwriter from Overijssel, the Netherlands. Her first track, "Deep Down," released in September 2023.

  • Review: "Crying In The Bathroom" - june

    “Crying In The Bathroom” by june tugs on the heartstrings of listeners as the band dives into the delicate intricacies of insecurities and loneliness. The poignant track is centered around “that one friend who has 100 friends, and is always the last one to leave the party.” It explores the inner workings of that person’s mind and “what happens when the party’s over.” While the song is about a close friend, it takes insight from the similar struggles that one of the band members, Celine Svanbäck, has experienced. The emotional lyrics illustrate a person who is overwhelmed by life and sadness. They do anything to fill their time to push their feelings down. They are “only living for the weekend, only comfortable in crowds” because it distracts their mind from the pain. But once the party ends and “the fun is over and done,” they “end up crying in the bathroom.” This is a universal feeling that countless people experience daily. june beautifully encapsulates this with their poetic and vulnerable lyrics, helping listeners feel less alone in their solemn moments of loneliness and solitude. “Crying In The Bathroom” is the epitome of a winter song, fitting seamlessly on every cold-weather playlist. Alongside the melancholic lyrics, “Crying In The Bathroom” contains a somber soundscape to craft the perfect ballad. Svanbäck’s stunning vocals guide the listener through the track, lulling them into a sense of comfort. Her soft voice paired with the soothing instrumentation emphasizes the vulnerable atmosphere. The song begins with the chorus, utilizing only the vocals and an acoustic guitar, before the subtle beat kicks in for the first verse. This sets the stage for the captivating indie-pop soundscape. An additional acoustic guitar is added at the end of the second chorus, with a piano followed closely after. The song’s outro has an electric guitar that echos the vocal melodies, enhancing the angelic ambiance. Each additional instrument helps transform the lovely acoustic song into a powerful ballad.  “Crying In The Bathroom” is complemented by its visually stunning music video starring the animated versions of the band. The song illustrates the band members undergoing hardships, feeling lost and broken. The ending of the video depicts Svanbäck pulling her fellow band members out of the darkness and bringing them to light. Throughout the video, a dying potted plant in a pot is shown haunting them. At the end of the video, they bury the plant. This symbolizes that, in order to grow, you must bury the past. A plant cannot grow past the restraints of the pot, and will slowly die. This unique imagery stands out, showcasing that the band’s creativity expands beyond their music to their writing and storytelling, as well. june is an alt-pop band consisting of three friends: Celine Svanbäck, Jeppe London, and Laurtiz Emil Christiansen. The Danish trio provides a twist on creative ingenuity by conducting the band through their animated universe.

  • Review: "Something Special" - Neon Gru

    Photo Credit: Jamie Reibl at Tritone Productions "Something Special" by Neon Gru is an important reminder to listeners that life needs balance. The song feels like a conversation from one person to another as the speaker offers support and connection to their partner, who is getting swept up in their overwhelming and all-consuming pursuits. When your work is your passion, it can be hard not to let the stress or pressure from it seep into the other aspects of your life. This song asks to be let into the person's passions in a beautiful and comforting reach for connection. Lyrics like "tell me about your love" are a vulnerable and warm beacon of togetherness, and as these words are repeated throughout the song, you'll feel the safe space it creates. Spanning the depths of admiration, this track dotes on a love in its journey of support and affection. A freeing creative expression, this artistic track loops catchy chords, a bright beat, and expressive vocals into its message. Light instrumentals, twangy guitar, and ambient synth chords offer a cool lift into the unique atmosphere of this song.

  • Review: "Epitome" - Edie Yvonne

    Once again, artist Edie Yvonne has created an instant pop anthem with her latest single, “Epitome.” The song explores the challenges of trying to manage a difficult relationship with someone who is hard to understand. The song is incredibly personal, and for someone of her age, it’s incredibly well executed. Even though “Epitome” is an introspective emotional track, it’s still so fun with its spunky nature. The song blends multiple elements, from the classic dance synths to the distorted guitars. All of this paired with Edie Yonne’s angelic voice creates the adventurous harmony that is “Epitome.” The song is introduced to us with the use of some 80s synth which certainly adds color to this painting. Edie Yvonne has such a sweet voice, but her words carry an edge to them as they express the strain of the relationship and how trying to understand the other person feels impossible. A really cool aspect of this track is how the distorted guitars contract Yvonne’s voice, which in a way could be alluding to the complications of this relationship. Her voice especially shines during the chorus as she shows off the control she has over it. Another really interesting artistic choice by Yvonne is for her to sing the second verse in Spanish. It takes you by surprise for a second, but the outcome is great. All these elements come together so well to create the dance-pop anthem that is “Epitome.” Edie Yvonne is an artist based in Los Angeles who has been releasing music for the past two years. Not only is she a talented musician, but she is also an actress who has worked on several short films. Over the span of her career, she has cultivated many fans and now has over 2,000 monthly listeners on Spotify. “Epitome” marks the celebration of Yvonne’s 16th birthday and for someone so young she is incredibly talented, which makes her such an exciting artist. With “Epitome” Edie Yvonne is able to portray how far she’s come as a young artist and how she will only continue to rise high.

  • Review: "Floating out of Water" - Alicia Campbell

    It’s easy to get caught in the waves of life’s oceans. All you really have to do to get out of it is remember how to swim– kick your legs and propel yourself back to land. Yet, we tend to get caught in the tumult anyways, and Alicia Campbell’s debut single “Floating out of Water” is a quiet conversation on how we float out into that watery body, becoming stuck in the uncertain spaces between figuring out our own identities and being the person we want to be. With loving guitar and tender piano, this track is a tender and earnest take on our journeys toward discovering ourselves. The waters might be rough, but we’ll get there eventually. To learn how to swim, we first have to take those initial steps into the water and learn how to float. If you like Phoebe Bridgers, indie folk, or any other sound in either of those veins, you’re going to adore “Floating out of Water”. I know I did the moment I heard the first beat, listening to this shy guitar slowly gathering its confidence in the gentle minutes the track plays. The instrumentals aren’t very crowded– in fact, they’re fairly sparse, with a guitar, light percussion, and piano– but I felt that this little fact added so much to the song’s overall message. There’s a solitude, almost loneliness, that follows the lyrics. Considering that the track is about not knowing who you are, and the beginnings of floating away due to it, it is a rather apt way to illustrate that isolated feeling we get when we’re not sure who or what we’re meant to be. Campbell’s vocals help to enhance this as well, twining the soundscape together with her soft and melodic voice. I think we’ve all been through either losing our identity, or not knowing it in the first place, which makes “Floating out of Water” a track that will make you feel connected, seen. There’s a line that goes, “It’s not me but it’s who I’m wanting to be / Is she there? She’s calling me”, and you can really feel the echoes of the narrator’s voice, wondering where her sense of self is, calling out to her. I loved how the song ended with this gradual swell of the instrumentals, before cutting out entirely; such a poetic way to end the track, as if to say that we will stop floating away eventually to find our footing. Alicia Campbell is an actor, singer, and songwriter. Inspired by nature and moments both beautiful and bittersweet, Campbell’s burgeoning musical career is influenced by these soft feelings. Her style is a combination between folk, indie, and pop, culminating in soundscapes that are reminiscent of artists such as Phoebe Bridgers, The Staves, and Jasmine Jethwa. In addition to her solo music, she has also created Savana Glacial’s pre-show music for New York’s 2019 Fringe Festival, as well as working in collaboration with "Postcards from Invisible Journeys" for their audio art piece "This too is an experience of the heart" to create the accompanying music. “Floating out of Water” is her debut single, released October of this year. Following that is her debut EP “Bathing in Watercolor”, of which “Floating out of Water” is the first track. For those who like that relaxing folksy style, you’ll definitely want to keep an eye on Alicia Campbell! Written By Alexa Leung FOLLOW ALICIA CAMPBELL: Instagram | Spotify  | Apple Music  | Website

  • Review: "Same Blood" - Mim Jensen

    I’ve always been a firm believer that family doesn’t always have to be blood. Sometimes the ones we are related to by DNA can treat us so poorly and make us feel invaluable. It’s really about the ones you find along the way who care for you and respect you. Mim Jensen shared her new single “Same Blood” capturing her experience. Will McGillivray produced this song to have that indie pop rock feel with guitar textures and an almost constant drum beat. Mim Jensens vocals are full of vulnerability and emotion and sit beautifully on top of all the melodic layers. This song makes you want to bop your head while simultaneously crying on your bedroom floor. As someone who sees the world differently from family members and feels secluded from it, I resonated with the lyrics from the first listen. “All you do is push my boundaries, when all you had to do was love me.” Family is supposed to love each other, it’s what everyone says, but how can you hold space in your heart for the family that goes against everything you are. Mim Jensen reminds us that it’s okay to not love those with the same blood and if separating yourself from them is what you need to do, then do it. “We may have the same blood, but that don’t make a difference to me.” “Same Blood” hits such a deep part of me that sat alone with these feelings for so long. Music is meant to be related to and I am thanking Mim Jensen for this masterpiece that I’m sure a lot of us understand all too well. Mim Jensen is a Aotearoa/New Zealand based singer-songwriter. Taking the emotional aspects of rock n’ roll and blending it into her own sound, she has performed at many festivals and headlined incredible shows. She released her debut single “Germaphobe” back in 2022 which became a huge viral success and inspired her to keep going. She followed it up with two other singles, “Pause Button” and “The Colour Blue,” in 2023. Mim also released her debut EP “Emotional Affair” in 2023. After taking time to write, record and tour, she is now prepping for the release of her next EP, “Shadow Of The Gift.” She writes from her own personal experiences with heartbreak and moments of self reflection. “Same Blood” is our first glimpse into what this EP will be and I can’t wait to hear the rest.

  • EP Review: "Everything in Between" - Jess Casinelli

    American/Italian Singer-Songwriter and Multi-Instrumentalist, Jess Casinelli has released her first ever EP, "Everything in Between", capturing all very different moments and stories from her life within the past five years. The only real theme connecting each track is that there is none.. they're all just a part of "Everything in Between". - Jess TRACKLIST November Time Machine Over and Over Basketball in Bed The Way She Looks At You Jess Casinelli was raised in Stamford, Connecticut but is now based in Los Angeles, California. She stepped out into the online spotlight 4 years ago, starting with posting covers and live performances on her YouTube channel and social media pages. She officially released her first ever original single in 2021, titled "Panic". Since then, she's been consistently releasing original songs throughout the years, now with a total of fourteen singles, and spends a lot of her time performing live. Now, she has finally released her debut EP, featuring five tracks which include two brand new songs. Jess Casinelli is a stand out artist for many reasons, but she is known for her unconventional and very personal songwriting tactics, relatability, and unique vocals. "Everything in Between" the EP is the newest edition to Jess's discography to highlight all of these traits that make her the beloved singer and songwriter she is. Let's get into these tracks. November We start off this EP with "November", a sorrowful but stunning piano ballad. Accompanied by just keys, and an eerie, airy production effect, Jess sings with passion and pain behind her tone. "November" is about how a certain time of year can bring back memories that you don't want to think about. Those memories then cause you to fall back into the feelings you were dealing with at the time; in this case, it was heartbreak and self-destruction. The lyrics in this song tell a story so deeply painful, and I encourage you to pay attention to them in detail while you listen, but really, the last phrase about sums it all up. "Just one bad day could last for a week, sometimes a whole month sucks, but November has always fucked me up". The way the song ends gives you chills down your spine, with it's haunting atmosphere. Time Machine Next we have "Time Machine", a ballad-esque nostalgic pop/rock song that is so filled to the brim with cathartic emotion that it almost sounds like it could be part of a musical theatre show finale, or at least a perfect closing song for a rock concert. Once you reach the chanting moment at the end, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. "Time Machine" is about meeting that perfect person you'd never ever want to lose, but you know that life is full of unexpected twists and turns and no matter what promises are made, you never know what can happen. You can't help but have that anxiety in the back of your mind that the person you want to spend you life with might change their mind one day; and all you can hope for is that they don't - but Jess sing's about how if they do, she hope's to god there's a time machine so that she can go back in time to get this person back, even if she has to build it herself. Over and Over "Over and Over" was the final single release in anticipation of Jess's EP. Just a fair warning, grab the tissues on this one! Not only did it bring a tear to my eye, but by the end my whole body was in chills and covered in goosebumps. Jess considers this to be her most personal song yet, one that wasn't easy to share but needed to be, which is understandably so. Although it's a very vulnerable and personal song for Jess, she wrote it in a way that isn't meant to give away too much of her own life. She wants her listeners to take it and connect their own story, so that they don't feel alone. The gist of the lyrics are reflecting on a childhood trauma, something that could've possibly changed the chemistry of who you are forever but you'll never actually know for sure. You find yourself wondering if your life was different back then, if you'd be a different person now. Not only that, but that pain that was inflicted on you as a child, still comes back to haunt you today as an adult. It's not fair that now you have to go your whole life completely controlled by this negative force. "Over and Over" is a tragically stunning song, with piano, orchestral strings, and gentle vocal harmony embellishments filling the air. The song starts with an addicting piano riff, and throughout the song you'll hear rhythm changes and dynamic shifts that move with the complicated emotions. Once we near the end, the song takes a moment of silence, before returning to that same piano riff it began with. Basketball in Bed "Basketball in Bed" was the first single released from this EP. It's a fun little pop/rock love song about how the things your partner loves gives you comfort when you're away from them. In this song's case, it's basketball, FIFA, tequila and meditation videos. Jess sings about putting on basketball games in bed when her partner is away, and falling asleep to the announcer's voice because she's starting to get used to hearing it, and even starting to like these things as well. The instrumentation in "Basketball in Bed" feels so real and raw, like a teenage band playing straight out of their garage in the early 2000's. It feels and sounds as passionate and genuine as music can get. One of my favorite moments is the interlude right before the last chorus, where you can hear a basketball game playing in the background while a gorgeous guitar solo flow overtop. It adds the perfect touch to really bring this song to life. The Way She Looks At You We bring the EP to a close with the leading focus track, "The Way She Looks At You", which features a music video! This song is about when there's someone else after your man, and it's too close for comfort. He promises you that he would never pursue this other woman, but you can't help but wonder in the back of your mind if he wasn't with you, would he? These jealous thoughts and crippling anxieties are enough to give anyone a heart attack. All you want is to have safety and security in your relationship, but because of this other woman who clearly has a thing for him, you're constantly on high alert. "The Way She Looks At You" has a retro feel, with an 80's pop/rock groove and tone with multiple electric guitars and a simple drum beat. For the majority of the song, Jess sings in annoyance and anger towards her partner about this other woman, but once we reach the end, her tone switches to more of a pleading confidence that they can work it out as she changes up the final chorus lyrics. Even though Jess Casinelli has been releasing music for a few years now, she is only just getting started. With the "Everything in Between" EP, she's taking the next step in showing this world what she's got. She is hands down one of the most unique artists I've had the pleasure of listening to, and that's saying a lot considering the thousands of people I've heard as a music blogger. She is a master lyricist; a storyteller that knows how to draw you in from the very first word and keep you captivated until the very last. Her voice is so incredibly unique; she is literally singing with all of her heart and soul and you can hear it in her tone. She's so expressive and theatrical. The best way I can describe her voice is like musical theatre in it's rebellious era. I love how every song on this EP has it's own sound and story, completely separating themselves from each other as individual experiences; that way you can really fully immerse yourself into every different emotion as Jess intended for listeners to do. After all, there is no connecting story here as Jess said, it's just "Everything in Between". If you enjoyed this EP, make sure to dive into the rest of Jess's discography and give her a follow on her socials below to see what's yet to come!
