Artist Jack Dean stuns with his latest release titled “Angel” – an embodiment of the rollercoaster that is balancing romance & life. Dean tells the story of an on again, off again relationship between himself and someone he refers to as “Angel”. He describes their relationship through using examples that paint a messy portrait of the pair, detailing how sweet nothings are said to brush aside the issues they face. Though, as messy as love can be, there is another side to the situation. As Dean states throughout “Angel” in moments that are purposely relaxed and drawn back, carving time for specific focus – “the love don’t die”. The interweaving of layers within this relationship is deep and profound, and Dean does not shy away from replicating that through both sound and lyricism. Though the romance in “Angel” may pose hard-pressed, difficult feelings, Dean fantastically created a track that well represents opposing, differing emotions while hooking listeners to tune into more. From the initial listen, “Angel” felt familiar to me – like a song lost from childhood. Dean’s voice has a classic pop charm to it, reminding me specifically of early 2000’s English pop. Though, far off from the distinct sound of this time period, “Angel” has instrumental qualities that stem from an earlier decade. The sound of the bass guitar seemingly draws direct inspiration from the 1980s, adding emphasis especially to the chorus with its low & funky strumming. Through details like this, “Angel” has a nostalgic sensation to it that draws listeners in delicately. Dean allows the song to breathe where it needs and puts emphasis & detail in areas where it counts, consistently switching to fit the lyrics and sticking by their meaning in sound. While this story may consist of struggle & confusion, it’s clear by its musical quality that “Angel” brings out the best feelings from listeners. Jack Dean is a 24-year-old producer, singer-songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist from the United Kingdom countryside. From early on in life, Dean’s family of musicians – especially his grandmother - inspired him to pursue music. From playing piano with his grandmother, to listening to metal music with his father, he has thrown himself into the art and hasn’t limited how he interacts with it. Dean has a wide-ranging and talent-filled background, working over the last few years as a producer & songwriter for other UK artists. In addition, Dean has amassed over 30 million views on Instagram Reels and TikTok through posting cover videos. Shortly after releasing his first EP, Dean was signed to the publishing company of Jamie Scott in 2022. Now, Dean has unveiled “Angel” – the second release off his debut album.   Written By Madison Spies FOLLOW JACK DEAN: Instagram | Spotify  | YouTube

There are times when the burdens of our days seem to paralyze us, leaving us stagnant in a puddle satiated with doubt and uncertainty– wondering to ourselves if we could ever make it out, and breathe again. The harrowing troubles we encounter can make us question whether our efforts to find a steady beat truly matter. Or, if all the fighting we’ve engaged in to free ourselves from the bedlam is futile. It’s a dragging weight that acts as a cloak over our shoulders, and yet, when we’re at our brink, something manages to excavate our body from the bottomless pit of an incessant struggle. They fill our lungs with a breath that manages to whisk away our worries, whilst offering us a moment to breathe. They catch us midfall, holding tightly onto our shaking hands that grapple for stability, our frenetic hearts that race, desperately trying to find a moment of tranquility. This love offers us the peace we are searching for, we can touch ground with their presence, offering comfort. “Touch Ground” by Zoë Ferris is a story, crafted into a beautiful tune, about being able to touch ground with the help of someone who washes away our unwavering worries that we find ourselves running from. With lyrics like “This week feels like coming up for air,” which denotes the significance this love has on Zoë’s presence, being liberated and placated from her struggles. Click here to listen to "Touch Ground"! The opening notes of this song evoke a sense of forlorn in me, the chords of the guitar pull at the tender strings of my heart, setting the tone almost immediately– that this song was going to be something that would serve as a warm embrace for those who offer a listening ear. Zoë’s voice constructs the song into its last finishing touches, utilizing the innate instrument of her melfilous voice to cast emotions into her listeners with such striking lyrics that not only manage to produce feelings, but tell a vehement story about extricating ourselves from the tight grasp of worry, falling into the arms of a love that ultimately frees us. I’d love to especially point out the fact that Zoë doesn’t particularly title this love. She doesn’t label it, nor does she objectify it. It allows us to tie a connection with this love ourselves. This love doesn’t have to be a person, either. It can be any little thing that helps us find our ground. It’s what makes the song so special, acting as an open hug for those who need comfort. Zoë Ferris, the artist behind such a beautifully crafted song, is a singer-songwriter based in Toronto. She resonates with genres like indie pop with a blend of raw and heartfelt lyrics that elicit painstaking thought and fervent emotion in her listeners. Zoë’s passion for music started rather early in her life, heavily inspired by her father. She found direction in his leading footsteps by the stories of his days back when he was in a band of his own. Since then, songwriting was something she utilized to navigate herself through the debacles of life, making music based on her experiences throughout her years as a young teenager. So far, Zoë has released two singles, “Touch Ground” along with her debut single titled “Pushing Daises” yet another song that can plant emotive sentiments deep within our hearts. As Zoë continues to grow her career as a talented musician, I can’t help but look forward to her future releases!

"I Could Be Him" by Matthew Orgel is a song about wanting to be like someone else; seeing that they are perfect and wanting to be just like them. This could evolve from having a crush on someone and wanting to imitate that person so you can impress them, as per the line "He's got everything in check, and I'm a little bit obsessed". The lyrics may be written in the perspective of someone who easily gets lost in the crowd and is not as popular as the person they want to be - that is one of the main reasons why they want to be him. They want to be as popular as him so they can get his attention, something many people can relate to. The production and instrumentation of "I Could Be Him" is flawless and is part of a song perfect for a pool party or listening to on the radio while you're driving on the way there. It's so fun and Orgel also possess incredible vocals. His voice makes for the perfect pop song and "I Could Be Him" has great harmonies, octave switches, and melodies. The bass line makes the song very distinct and creatively produced. The main guitar chords are what makes the song so upbeat, and the fact that they change throughout the song really adds depth to the instrumentation. That and the sparkling synths also add to the summery essence the song radiates. Matthew Orgel is a musician, actor, and philanthropist from New York, and is based in Boston for the time being while he is a student at Berklee. Growing up, he had a passion for music and wanted to begin a career in it one day, a dream that came true in 2017 with the release of "Independence Day", a song from him and his brother Jacob, the two halves of The Great Perhaps . They have made music together, but Matthew makes solo music as well. He is very charitable, often donating the money he makes from music. Matthew Orgel is an amazing and very talented artist!

I was first introduced to The Lumineers when I was in middle and high school. And for years, after waiting for more releases, I figured the band was done releasing music. So imagine my surprise when I was scrolling on Spotify one day and was asked to pre-save their upcoming album... Automatic . I was so excited, and immediately asked to review this album when the time came. So, here we are. With 11 songs on its tracklist, Automatic has proven to be an incredible addition to The Lumineers' ever-growing repertoire. tracklist Same Old Song Asshole Strings Automatic You're All I Got Plasticine Ativan Keys on the Table Better Day Sunflowers So Long Like many, I first came to know The Lumineers from their hit song, "Ho Hey", off their debut self-titled album, which was released in 2012. Then, in 2016, the band released its next album, Cleopatra . One of the most recognizable songs, which resurfaces on TikTok every few months, is "Ophelia". But aside frome these two hits, The Lumineers have so many incredible hit songs. And now, with the release of Automatic , there are 11 more to praise. Same Old Song Kicking off this album is "Same Old Song", which can be translated to "SOS". The song is essentially a cry for help, and explores the story of a struggling artist seeking answers and assistance. The song even opens with the artist asking their mom to pay their rent and crash in their basement. I think this song set a certain standard for the rest of the album; it was incredible. This was definitely one of my favorite songs I listened to today, because, in a way, I can relate to a lot of its themes. Struggling to find your way in the world? Finances and living situations making you wonder if you'll ever be able to support yourself? I have dealt with all of that, so I think this song was an incredible start to this album. Asshole Next, we have "Asshole", a song a little more raw and personal than the previous. It's about how we're perceived by others. In this specific example, how previous partners may view the narrator as an asshole... and the narrator acknowledges this in the lyric "First we ever met / You thought I was an asshole / Probably correct / But I can see your shadow." When it comes to relationships, I find that I'm always judging how I could be perceived by others. I can have a deadpan attitude, and I'm not always the easiest to get along with. But that doesn't mean I necessarily want others to agree with that. I think this song explored that feeling extremely well. Strings As for the next song, "Strings", it's an instrumental transitionary piece, so I don't have anything to go in-depth on with that song. But I will say this: it may only be 30 seconds long, but it packs a punch, and I consider it a beautiful way to transition to the next set of songs on the album. Automatic "Automatic" is the titular song on this album, and absolutely broke my heart listening to it. It's a reflection of the past and how we operate automatically in our day-to-day lives. Sometimes, we fail to recognize the disconnect we feel if we follow these routines all our lives. The repeated lyric, "Oh, my lover, is it ever gonna be enough?", deeply resonates with my own life. The feeling that in my life, I'm working on autopilot, and have no clue if or when I'll ever break free of that cycle... it's heartbreaking, and I feel this song captured that feeling extremely well. You're All I Got/Keys on the table Next up, we have "You're All I Got", a song that I feel is less about a romantic partnership than that of the lifelong friendship of Wesley Schultz and Jerimiah Fraites. Sure, it can be taken in a romantic sense, but I really want to highlight this other point of view. Throughout the song, the narrator sings about feeling bored in the life they've lived, and simply wanting to go back to the way things were. But despite this, they've always had their closest friend, and they do not want to give that friendship up. I've had few friendships like this... but with the ones I do have, I know I will have those people in my life forever. Later in the album, there's "Keys on the Table". I wanted to cover these two songs together as they are directly connected in their meanings. If "You're All I Got" is about a lifelong friendship... "Keys on the Table" is about that friendship hitting a breaking point. It suggests the potential end of the friendship, and the worry that the other person is ready to give it up. We've all had friendships that have come to an end, but you worry that you feel invaluable to the other person. I feel this is perfectly represented in the lyrics, "Would you sell me out / At the first chance you get?", and, "And honestly, I feel ashamed to breathe / I can't believe we lost to the machine" Plasticine I'll be honest... I had no idea what plasticine was before listening to this song. But from what I was able to gather, it's the British word for a putty-like modeling clay. And now, listening to the lyrics behind "Plasticine", it makes infinitely more sense. From what I can interpret, the song is about changing who you are for others, and molding yourself to be someone you are not. We have all felt the pressure to conform to societal norms at some point in our lives... but by doing so, you lose what makes you special... you! Because how can you be authentic and unique if you change who you are to be like everyone else? It's a problem I've dealt with my whole life, even today, so I connected with this song a lot. Ativan Again, I had no clue what Ativan was until today. According to the Mayo Clinic, Ativan is a prescription drug used to help calm the mind and ease anxiety, like Xanax. Based on that, I can guess this song is about the allure of the drug, and how the narrator feels called to use it. Just check out this lyric from the chorus, "f I can't make you happy, then nobody can / Then nobody can, your sweet Ativan." It's almost as if the narrator feels that they will never feel normal unless he takes this drug. Addiction is not a new concept for the band, but I'll admit, I haven't really listened to a song that covers that theme like this one in a while, and I think it's very well done. Better Day With three songs left on this album, we now come to "Better Day"! At just under three minutes in length, the song is the perfect representation of today's society, and how we live in this chronically online universe, only existing to those when we like, comment, and share what we find on the internet. When things get rough, we want an escape from our reality... so we go online and drown ourselves in content that makes us forget about our day-to-day lives. The song even touches on the political side of our lives, with mentions of rubber bullets and pepper spray, weapons used often in protests and riots. The song repeats "Dreamin' of a better day"... and aren't we all? Sunflowers The penultimate song on this album is "Sunflowers", and it's another instrumental transition piece, preparing us for the album to come to an end. Personally, I liked how this album had these instrumentals to break up the tracks... some of the themes would have given me whiplash with how they move from theme to theme, so I'm glad we got another transitional piece to enjoy before diving into this final song. So Long Finally, we have come to the last song on this incredible album. "So Long" was released alongside "You're All I Got" ahead of the album's release, and covers themes of isolation and melancholy. Obviously, the band could have named the song "So Long" as a way to signify the end of the album... but I feel it has a deeper meaning than that. As someone who has suffered from depression for most of my life, I clocked immediately that numb feeling it gave off, and the fear of change that could lead you to a deeper state of dissonance. It was incredible, and, in many ways, the perfect ending to a perfect album. Overall, I seriously loved this album. I feel it was beautifully written, and was the perfect way to ring in the next phase of the band's history. I think of all of the songs, "So Long" and "You're All I Got" are two songs that stuck with me the most, though every song on the album was unique in its own way. I don't know if The Lumineers will be releasing another album in the future, but I hope they do, because they still have a lot of talent to share with the world. If you haven't had a chance to check out Automatic yet, be sure to do so now! The album is streaming everywhere, and trust me... you're going to love it.

Uncertainty is a feeling that sits in your chest. It begins tying a knot until it is so tight that you’re immobile, unable to walk steadily. That feeling is beautifully illustrated in Simon Erics’ “Black Water”. With lyrics such as “Now we’re walking on black water / It was when we lost the ground / I lived to say life can’t hold me down”, Erics relays the experience of feeling unsettled and unsupported as one navigates through difficult moments. Black water itself is shrouded in mystery, as you cannot see what is beneath the surface or how deep it goes. To cross these bodies of water produces unsettling feelings, as does any moment in life that holds no absolutes. Erics paints a vulnerable depiction of this feeling in his work, using lyrics as his paint and his acoustic guitar as a brush.  This song has an almost cinematic quality. The virtuosity in the opening guitar automatically creates an intense atmosphere. The drumbeat creates momentum that drives the piece forward, thus adding to the tumultuous feeling that the guitar builds. The entire work is tied together with the introduction of Erics’ vocals. His voice is raw and emotional, while demonstrating clear technique and proficiency in his instrument. The balancing act of maintaining tone, texture, and musicianship while performing in a vulnerable and authentic manner is difficult to manage, but Simon Erics continues to present artistry unlike any other. Simon Erics is a composer and songwriter from Sweden. His style defies genres and expectations by combining elements of popular music and the style commonly associated with country songs. He is a member of NI MUSIC GROUP that is based in Los Angeles, California. He’s done a number of collaborations throughout his time in the industry, such as with Grammy-nominated artist Lazarusman and Marc Benjamin. He is signed to Warner music and his album “Waiting For The Sun” earned platinum status.
