Change and growth are interchangeable. Sometimes to get by all you have to do is try. Try to accept the new phenomenon’s in your life and change how you react to the newness in your life. There’s a vicious cycle surrounding change that’s laced with fear. “I’m Trying” by Izzy Woodland is a song about giving yourself grace to better your life moving forward from a difficult time. Change is never easy. You might feel like you’re walking on eggshells and waiting for the moment they crack, but change is finding the desire to come up with a solution for the hurt and pain you’re experiencing. There’s a lot of metaphors and imagery in this song. For example, when Izzy sings that she’ll be “quiet as a mouse so that I don’t irrevocably cause a scene” describes her feelings of being afraid to use her voice to its full potential because she does not want to cross anyone. She doesn’t want to be a problem or cause any sort of commotion. Through the song, Izzy realizes that change is intimidating but it’s only necessary to grow and move forward. It’s a big step to move into the unknown and not know the outcome. It shows that strength will always overpower weakness, but it might take some time to find the strength within yourself. Izzy wants to feel things. She wants to “raise my hand up to the sky and paint the color blue”, which can symbolize her desire and longing to be free and how that will allow her to be more open with herself and the world around her. Produced by Jack Gilbert “I’m Trying” is a song that shows how change and growth impact each other. This song carries the weight of emotional vulnerability and is told through a personal narrative. The song is an acoustic track with a folk and indie feel to it. The guitar serves as a foundation that Izzy’s vocals build upon. Izzy’s voice is soft and it’s easy to hear her convey her emotions based on how she sings. Lyrically, this song proves that Izzy can take a personal experience and make it relatable. It also shows her emotional depth and ability to use creative metaphors and symbols through her music. Izzy described “I’m Trying” as a love song to yourself, and after listening I certainly agree. Izzy Woodland is a British indie singer. Izzy’s been described by BBC Radio Kent’s Abbie McCarthy as an “indie pop star”. Izzy is relatively new to the music scene but has been a musician from a very young age. She learned how to play the guitar and write songs since she was young and developed her talent as she got older. She debuted her first single “Lay Down” in July 2023. Besides “Lay Down” and “I’m Trying” she also has two other singles “Parenthesis” which came out in 2023 and “Crossroads” which came out in 2025. “Parenthesis” was featured on the ‘BBC Introducing’ show on BBC Radio Kent in January 2024.

Shot by: @dani_ofthewoods "Hypocrite" is the newest single from Allison Park , its lyrics aptly defining the song's title. Park describes how it can be easy to make fun of others or criticize what they do or what kind of person they are without fully understanding their situation, but its not okay to do this. "Hypocrite" is the song that matches with the phrase "when you point at someone, three fingers point back at you". Park and her sister, Dani, also implement other expressions in the songwriting, including, "And what's that dish best served cold?", alluding to revenge; this is just one of the ways in which they are both great lyricists. A piano ballad, dark pop, and modern jazz all come together to create the sound of "Hypocrite". Immersive bass has its moments alongside powerful string arrangements and hi-hats that fit with the tempo of the song, and then increase in tempo as it continues. "Hypocrite" becomes more powerful in regards to its production style and overall vibe as it advances. Park has a fantastic voice and sings perfectly for this baroque-inspired single. There are also amazing drum fills in the latter half of the song. Dani was the producer as well, along with Cole Phillips, and they did an amazing job. The songs sounds like it could be played over James Bond taking out a villain in a movie installment for the series.

Tate McRae stuns with her third studio album, “So Close To What,” offering sexy, vivacious tracks in addition to raw, vulnerable content, showing a new side to the pop princess. The 21-year-old Canadian star sets her eyes on new sights with her third record, allowing her sound to transform in edge and maturity. Blending her wide-ranged dance ability with both truthful and electrifying lyrics, she has been compared to stars like Britney Spears while contributing content and a personality that stays entirely true to what she wants to create. McRae holds nothing back in her third album, utilizing reflections of early 2000’s dance pop material in her music while making personal, bold statements showing mastery of the pop genre and grasping the ears of listeners.  TRACK LIST Miss possessive 2 hands Revolving door bloodonmyhands (feat. Flo Milli) Dear god Purple lace bra Sports car Signs I know love (feat. The Kid LAROI) Like I do It's ok I'm ok No I'm not in love Means I care Greenlight Nostalgia Miss possessive The title track, “Miss Possessive,” also the name of McRae’s upcoming tour, kicks off the album with a bang. The first line, “No, seriously, get your hands off my man,” a sound bite precisely placed to introduce the album, perfectly details what fans are in store for. McRae has been known for her sexy, danceable tracks but “Miss Possessive” displays a different side of her through its declarative nature. This track shows a mature, confident side of Tate that additionally draws listeners into the album. While that phrase is, in itself, a bold statement to make, McRae follows through with the sound of “Miss Possessive”. Similar to her attitude, the song’s beat is hard-hitting and filled with passion, showing why the track was picked to additionally be the name of her tour.  2 hands “2 Hands”, the second track on “So Close To What” and second single to be released before the album’s drop, makes the transition from track 1 to track 2 smooth and subtle. While incredibly different songs in sound, “2 Hands” continues on a similar attitude from the first track. Again, the need for physical touch is emphasized by McRae to her partner as it was in “Miss Possessive”. Lyrics such as, “Just your two hands on me, like my life needs savin’”, not only shows the level of desire McRae feels toward this other person but additionally details that this connection goes beyond simply wanting something. “2 Hands”, while delving into the more sexual side of this connection, ultimately keeps listeners having fun while letting on the extent of this relationship.  Revolving door Exchanging a sexy, danceable vibe to lean into raw emotion, McRae brings in “Revolving door” for the third track off “So Close To What”. “Revolving door” entails a relationship that McRae is trying to let go of while navigating the highs & lows of entering adulthood. Lines such as, “I work so much, can’t be reminded,” and, “I need a minute”, show both a vulnerable side of McRae and wonderfully represents how difficult it can be to make things work, like relationships, while figuring yourself out at a young age. The visual representation of the name itself, a revolving door, brings layers to how difficult it’s been for her to let go of this relationship and, additionally, is telling of how much time she’s lost to this person in place of taking care of herself.  bloodonmyhands (feat. Flo Milli) Shifting to a different, cunning mindset - track four, titled “bloodonmyhands” featuring rapper Flo Milli, strays far from the nature of the first three tracks. Much similar to where the relationship between McRae and this other person leaves off, “bloodonmyhands” details McRae’s time after making the decision to leave her former partner. McRae references her intense pride and ability to leave, a detail that feels like a direct reference to “Revolving door”. Both in McRae and Milli’s verses throughout the track, it’s incredibly apparent that the decision to leave this person was for the best. To dance “like she can’t be bothered” and move on to a new partner, McRae states a shift both in the album and herself. She is commanding the situation, knows what she deserves, and won’t settle for less.  Dear god From the initial beat, the fifth track off “So Close To What” grabs your attention by the throat. “Dear god”, the bass-heavy, sex-laced track serves as the catalyst for the remainder of the album. Transferring from a period of hurt & reflection to healing, McRae details the grit behind the process of moving on from a partner. Piecing lines together like, “All the memories, babe, I play ‘em all back,” and, “Never used to be this person, but here I am,” in connection to the new person introduced in the song, McRae doesn’t shy away from the harshness of this situation. Attempting to move on and heal from a broken heart, “Dear god”, lays out a connection between McRae and a new partner that is strained, on McRae’s side, by reminders of the past. While McRae is struggling to move on from her former partner, her ultimate wish is for this new partner to please her to the point where she no longer has to think of her past relationship.  Purple lace bra Seemingly sexy in its title, the sixth song off McRae’s third record - “Purple lace bra” - displays vulnerability and an unfortunately common perspective. The story in “Purple lace bra” follows McRae struggling to communicate with her partner. The other person does not seem to be present with McRae, only paying attention to her and the relationship when it sexually benefits them. McRae explains in several lines that she has done things physically to try to pique her partner’s interest - dancing on their lap, whispering in their ear, taking clothes off for them, and finally - wearing a purple lace bra - physical representation of the sexual side she has to lean into for her partner to listen to her. While McRae’s music does not shy away from emotion and vulnerability, “Purple lace bra” is a unique and different song for the pop star. Mainly focusing on dance-producing material, the platform embedded into this song for resonation and difference shows just how much McRae has matured as an artist and allowed herself to explore new heights.  Sports car “Sports Car”, the third single and seventh track off “So Close To What”, spices the album up, allowing Tate to show off her pop chops. From top to bottom, “Sports Car” embodies the energy of McRae’s overall music. At the release of this track, fans of McRae quickly realized that this is not the Tate McRae they’ve become comfortable with. With a seductive, teasing start, you’re left wanting more from start to finish. Alongside deep bass and confident, cool vocals, McRae pulls you into the thrill of the romance she’s seeking. Through the song’s production and lyrics, it’s apparent that, much like a sports car, McRae is looking for a fast-paced and thrilling connection.  Signs “Signs”, the eighth song off “So Close To What”, keeps McRae rooted in her confidence and heading toward something bigger & better for her. “Signs” is a reminder from McRae to her current partner that she knows what she wants and does not want to backtrack in progress. “If you love me, you should know me better, see the signs,” a lyric repeated in “Signs”, wonderfully summarizes the song for listeners by being clear and concise. While McRae does not want to experience treatment similar to what she’s been given before, she additionally feels as though she should not have to voice her wishes. Moving forward, she does not buckle down and settle for her partner, staying true to herself and allowing her to move on from a relationship that isn’t working for her.  I know love (feat. The Kid LAROI) The second feature on the album, The Kid LAROI sparks new meaning to “So Close To What” in the ninth track - “I know love”. Extremely different in sound from the eight tracks listed above, “I know love” is fun, pure, and embraces the unpredictability of love. The track explores the complexities of being in love and the complications it brings, all while staying positive. With The Kid LAROI being McRae’s boyfriend, the opening exchange in track clues listeners in on their playful but deep connection. While the chorus, and song overall, continue on to open up about how love can be consuming and confusing, LAROI and McRae switch carefully between keeping up that playful, flirty connection and being open with their emotions.  Like I do Switching the frame of reference, track ten - “Like I do”, changes the overall tone as McRae shifts the song’s subject. With lyrics such as, “Got your own, but you started eyein’ down my man,” McRae not only references back to the first track - “Miss Possessive” - but also shows a difference in who she’s speaking to. Similar to “Miss Possessive”, track ten emphasizes the perspective shared in track 1 with more detail. The line, “and sometimes I’m flattered”, coming before, “But also, fuck you,” shows the confusion McRae feels toward this other girl, darting back & forth between seeing the other girl’s perspective and sticking to her guns. This inability to decide how she truly, overall feels about this girl and her actions stems mainly from her trust being broken - similar to the stories shared of her romantic relationships in the album’s earlier songs. Much like how she’s been treated by romantic partners, the situation in “Like I do” is tiring for McRae and only emphasizes her current state - hurting and looking to heal. It's ok I'm ok “It’s ok I’m ok,” the eleventh track and first single off “So Close To What”, showcases a changed attitude in McRae and a smooth transition from track ten. In the previous track, “Like I do”, McRae was forced by the actions of others to switch between building a defense and letting her guard down. In “It’s ok I’m ok”, McRae has seemingly moved on from the predicament in “Like I do”. The line, “Take him, he’s yours,” indicates a transitional period for McRae, showing her growth from the previous track. “It’s ok I’m ok” is a step away from McRae’s past, aimed toward a period where she can enjoy her life without being tied down by someone who could potentially, again, cause her pain. Out of the fifteen tracks on “So Close To What”, this read as the most confident to me. While I’m unaware of if “It’s ok I’m ok” is meant to be symbolic with its release order, it being the first single off the album to be released, it entirely feels as though it was intentional. “It’s ok I’m ok” is not only a pure piece of above-and-beyond pop music, but additionally a statement piece. This song shows a shift in McRae’s perspective within the album’s story and in her career, communicating to listeners that she has entered a new phase of life.  No I'm not in love “No I’m not in love”, the twelfth song off “So Close To What”, follows a new horizon for McRae. From the song’s introduction, listeners are let in on a world that McRae wants to keep secret and closed off - at least for now. The title of the song itself, “No I’m not in love”, is reflective and symbolic of McRae being in opposition of herself. Throughout the track she debates with herself, pushing against the realization that she consistently stays over at this person’s place, wears their clothes, etc. This hesitation to dive into a real, romantic connection with this person is shown throughout several of the songs off “So Close To What”, but “No I’m not in love” differs from them in its level of impact. “No I’m not in love” is the biggest stance McRae has taken against her past, indicating even through the title that she is fearful of and resistant to the past repeating itself.  Means I care Track thirteen off “So Close To What”, better known as “Means I care,” comes in direct response to “No I’m not in love”. “Means I care” is more upbeat in nature than the previous track, leaning into McRae’s affection for this other person. Rather than deny her feelings, as shown in “No I’m not in love”, McRae pleads with this person to look past her actions and recognize her feelings for him - ultimately asking him to take her signs of rejection with a grain of salt. The lyrics in “Means I care” entail how McRae doesn’t view herself as successful in self-expression when it comes to relationships, highlighting a detail that ties back into former heartbreak.  Greenlight The final two songs of “So Close To What”, titled “Greenlight” and “Nostalgia”, tie in together to beautifully bring the album to a close. Both of these songs are incredibly emotional and personal. McRae lays out dark thoughts on the table and talks about them point-blank through “Greenlight”, once again displaying the maturity she’s shown throughout this album but in a more vulnerable way. While McRae finds herself truly falling for someone and on the path to healing, “Greenlight” details how that healing is not linear. Although the sound of “Greenlight” may be more upbeat than the lyrics let on, it’s truly about McRae’s raw & pained emotional state.  Nostalgia Following “Greenlight”, the final song of “So Close To What” - “Nostalgia” - is McRae’s most reflective song of the album. “Nostalgia” opens with information on McRae’s personal life, detailing the lives of her family and how pain has carried on from person-to-person within the family. This period of reflection is significant for McRae, as she did not reflect on her past in this way before losing her former partner. By placing this song at the bottom of the track list, I feel as though it was done purposely by McRae to show how she came to terms with this heartbreak. Not only does “Nostalgia” let listeners in on a very personal, more private side of McRae, but it additionally brings the album full-circle and ends “So Close To What” on a sweet, purely human note.  Written By Madison Spies FOLLOW TATE MCRAE : Instagram | Twitter | Facebook | Spotify | TikTok | YouTube *copyright not intended.

In her latest single, released February 7th, British pop-country artist Twinnie combines the thrilling rush of developing a crush, but also being crushed by it. Twinnie states that “Worst Kind of Crush” is about “missing the potential of what could have been—when someone does a 180 on you and their feelings completely switch.” Her lyrics absolutely nail this feeling of apprehension, but the soundscape is full of synth pop sounds and upbeat vocals. This combination doesn’t feel like it should work as well as it does, but Twinnie blends them seamlessly and takes listeners on a journey of dealing with heartbreak, self-awareness, and the fact that, even though she knows they will not work, she still wants him. This track opens right off the bat with a repeated “the worst kind of crush” overlaying electric synths and a steady beat. The first verse describes how their love was like a speeding car that suddenly hit the brakes, and yet Twinnie still wants to get right back in. The chorus hits just as fast as the brakes, with Twinnie’s voice building up into “The worst kinda crush” yet again in the same breathy but strong vocal tonality as the first line. She goes on to sing about what the crush feels like, that it “Is us making out at midnight on New Year's Eve / The worst kinda rush / Is us giving it up and you disappearing on me”. Twinnie-Lee Moore, known in the music industry as simply Twinnie, was born with music in her heart. Hailing from England and now residing in Nashville, Moore was raised in a Romani Gypsy community where music was a way to share stories and was central to her upbringing.

Introducing the song with the strum of a guitar & banjo fading in, Rogers takes listeners on a journey that feels both personal and entirely, easily relatable. “I Could Barely Drive”, while upbeat in sound and style, contains a deeper meaning with lyrics littered with detail and a classic charm. Blending a multitude of genres and embedding personal, real-life-example lyrics, “I Could Barely Drive is a song that would be favored by artists like The Chicks, Joan Baez, Carol King, etc. Telling a story revolving around pain, Rogers beautifully navigates the space between hurting & healing. “I Could Barely Drive” takes listeners on a journey that doesn’t shy away from low, gritty moments and simultaneously produces a message of hope for the future that stems from Rogers reflecting on how to help both herself & others. Although the story of “I Could Barely Drive” is produced from a consistent issue, Rogers steers away from a bruised attitude and instead focuses on how to better the situation for her and her former love. While a significant amount of pop music material revolves around serving justice when someone has wronged their partner, Rogers buckles down and channels her energy in a healthy way. In place of creating a song that embodies a perspective of pain & revenge, Rogers genuinely wants the best for herself and this other person. The loss of the connection laid out in this track is very obviously a long-term, deep, and mature relationship – shown through lyrics dating back from the past to present, the inclusion of luscious and complex instruments, etc. Listening to “I Could Barely Drive” from start to finish, you are thrown completely into the relationship through both lyric and sound. Though, above all, Rogers’ implementation of folk-leaning instruments like banjos, guitars, etc., alongside production that falls under the umbrella of pop & alternative, showcases how seriously she takes this craft. Each detail of this song adds a new layer to the story, building upon one another to properly dive into this deep relationship. Yet, the meaning received above others in “I Could Barely Drive” transcends the story of the relationship, showing people that communication, forgiveness, and hard work can lead to progress for yourself. Malia Rogers is a Canadian folk singer-songwriter, actor, and multi-instrumentalist from Nova Scotia. Raised with a maritime upbringing, Rogers sees a connection between music, storytelling, and community.

As she sings about replaying the memories, sorting through objects left from the relationship, and wishing they haven't moved on, it becomes clear how much she regrets any mistakes made and just wants the chance to make things right. These feelings culminate in the powerful chorus with lyrics, "I'll love you blindly / Hold you tightly / Promise I won't let go lightly."

It's a bittersweet sentiment delivered through emotional vocals, backed by a guitar-driven production. Mia Baron is a 17-year-old singer-songwriter from Toronto.

VXXK's "Drifting Away" is an exploration of emotional distance and the quiet disintegration of a relationship. The song weaves through a melancholic melody, underscored by atmospheric production that mirrors the isolation conveyed in the lyrics. The narrative captures a moment where two people slowly lose touch with each other, both physically and emotionally. "Drifting Away" speaks to a familiar feeling of a fading connection, a loss of intimacy that many listeners will relate to. The song evokes moments when you find yourself standing in a room with someone, yet feel miles away, unsure of when exactly the distance began to grow. Whether it's the lingering absence of someone you thought you'd grow old with or the quieter dissolution of a friendship. "Drifting Away" captures that painful, universal moment of realizing the inevitable is happening -- everything you once shared is slipping out of reach. "Drifting Away" is a masterclass in atmospheric, alt-pop that balances subtle instrumentation with an emotionally charged vocal performance. The song opens with a minimalist piano riff, which sets a melancholic tone, quickly layered with soft, reverb-drenched guitar lines that add depth and texture. The beat has a quiet, slow-paced rhythm that complements the song's introspective nature. As the track progresses, electronic elements subtly creep in, creating a spacious, dreamlike quality that mirrors the lyrical theme of emotional detachment. VXXK's voice is soft yet haunting, it has a touch of fragility that brings an air of vulnerability. The overall feeling is one of introspection -- like floating in a state of longing, caught between holding on and letting go. It's a song that resonates with a quiet sadness, making listeners reflect on lost connections and the drift of time.

Who doesn’t love a love-rock ballad? Hello Sister’s new song ‘All Over Again’ reaches into the depths of our young loving hearts with a unique take on songs about relationships. Instead of looking back on a past relationship and remembering all the fun, happy things that happened, All Over Again focuses on the bad things and say despite these events happening, they would still do it all over again. Viewers dive into the song through descriptive lyrics like “On a cold November evening” starting off at the top of the song as well as intimate stories about a fight happening at the movies while also giving the listener space to put in their own scenarios for relatability. These lyrics attached to their pop-rock sound will attract any listener from any background.  Hello Sister knew that all they needed were a few drumstick clicks to grab our attention and to kick things off with this song. Between the drums sounding like they’re out of an early 2000’s Kelly Clarkson music video and the guitar and piano bouncing off of each other make this song any music lover's dream. As someone who is a huge fan of rom-coms, this song gives off the feeling of when the two main characters get into an argument and are looking for ways to rekindle their relationship. Hello Sister brings the heart and emotion back into pop rock with a modern twist while tying in inspiration from their favorite bands.  All the way from Orlando, Florida, Hello Sister is a pop rock group consisting of three sisters who are here to rename the rock n’ roll game. The band's members are Grace, 18, on bass and vocals, Gabriella, 16, on the electric guitar and Scarlett, 15, on the drums. Their music inspirations are Green Day, Paramore and Avril Lavigne and their sound is exactly spot on with their mentors. At such young ages, these three sisters are already getting their name out there with over 150k followers on Instagram. These sisters are about to take the music industry by storm so be sure to keep your eye out!  Written By Breanna M. FOLLOW HELLO SISTER: Instagram | Spotify  | TikTok  | Facebook  | YouTube
