- Review: "Not Ready Yet" - Sean Magwire
Sean Magwire’s latest single “Not Ready Yet”, released November 22nd, is an all encompassing look at life and the human experience. Focusing on the negative aspects and yet finishing every verse with the sentiment that Magwire is not ready to leave it yet, he perfectly encapsulates the adult feeling of growing up. A gentle folk guitar, harmonica melody, and finger picking guides listeners through the song as Magwire sings about the fear of what comes after death, cards declining at the grocery store, and the lull of a boring nine to five job. Magwire’s tone of voice is similar to that of Train and Coldplay, and his perspective on life and the passage of time is certainly one that the three of them would agree on. The track starts with the light guitar chords, and a back and forth on Magwire’s perspective. He lists some frustrating aspects of the world around him, and then some positives, and settles with the mentality of, “Ain’t life a bitch, I want more / But I'm winning just by waking up in bed”. Throughout the song, Magwire takes listeners on a journey reflecting life itself. His lyrics are specific and heartfelt, and truly correlate to the thoughts in his own head- that life is tiring but there is so much more to see in the world. In the chorus, he sings, “But I'm so tired / Oh I’m tired/ But I'm not giving up, no I'm not ready yet / I’m so tired / Oh I’m tired / Of this goddamn mess”. Sean Magwire has spent his entire life surrounded by music. Hailing from Angola, Indiana, Magwire picked up a guitar at age 14, after his father introduced him to artists such as the Beatles and Simon & Garfukel. From 2012 to 2016, he was the main songwriter of The Lulabelles, and he collected accolades for work inside and outside of the band. Settling down in Massachusetts with his wife and two children, Magwire now focuses on sharing his love of music with others, and connecting to audiences around the world.

- Review: "Something I Wanted" - Frances Whitney
Frances Whitney has crafted the perfect love ballad that is directed at no one other than a past love and ourselves. In this song, we get a glimpse of reflection on a past relationship and choices we made. Ultimately, though, she says in the chorus, "And I knew by the light of the morning / Honey, you were just something I wanted." Suggesting that in hindsight, the person wasn't necessarily what she needed in life, and they weren't good for her in the long run. A few lines that help paint a picture of the way the artist's feels regarding the past choices and relationships include: "I'm getting out of the business of missing what's weighing me down," and, at the beginning, "No good love tastes like pain / And losing yourself is not a price worth paying / Don't know when but I'll get there somehow." We can feel the beginning stages of closure, and we witness the start of the healing process. "Something I Wanted" gives us an introspective mood. We look inward and inspect our own emotional state. The lyrics are universally relatable, which allows us to reflect on some of these things.

- Review: "Somebody Else" - Gabby Martin
"Somebody Else" by Gabby Martin is a soulful dive into feeling and sensation, exploring the complexities of being close with another person. Romantic intimacy can feel sacred, and when a relationship comes to an end there can be a very real fear of never experiencing something that feels as special again. This emotional track takes on those worries, and captures the heartache and doubts that loom over the idea of moving on after a breakup. Throughout the verses, I was captivated by the singular warmth of adoration as the lyrics carried words of touch and sensation with so much passion I could feel it. Contrasting these ideas, the chorus wonders about the possibility of ever feeling the same way about anyone moving forward. With its genuine, vulnerable uncertainty, this track will have you lost in feelings of closeness and loss. Piano starts this soft journey, moving through a narrative sound of intimacy. Gabby's vocals are intensely soulful, moving through the verse with gentle lows and a tone that makes the words seem to glow. Delving into the chorus, I was struck with a highly cerebral feeling as the layered high singing draws out a powerful sense of introspection. Electronic instrumentals fold in resonant chords and percussion, separating the stuck-in-your-head meaning of the chorus from the much more tangible sound and lyrics of the verse. Strings and percussion join in the second verse, with a looming feeling of romantic melancholy. Building the dizzy worries and confusion into the bridge of the song, immense guitar, percussion, and vocalizing make a roar of expression before closing the track with the beautiful gloom of Gabby's vocals. Gabby Martin is a UK-based artist with a soft, touching alt-pop vocal style and deeply moving lyricism. She has received support from BBC Introducing, and performed at various venues across the UK. Gabby performed at the music festival Live at Leeds in 2022, and has supported artists like Jono McCleery , Toby Sebastian , Conor Scott , and Billy Raffoul .
