- Album Review: "Open Wide" - Inhaler
Photo credits: Apple Music Despite the stigma that comes with being a nepo baby, Inhaler’s third studio album, Open Wide , proves that it’s possible to set yourself apart from a famous parent’s shadow. Vocalist Elijah Hewson might benefit from being the son of U2 ’s frontman, Bono, but this latest installment to Inhaler’s catalog cements them as an indie band to be reckoned with. TRACK LIST: Eddie In The Darkness Billy (Yeah Yeah Yeah) Your House A Question Of You Even Though Again Open Wide All I Got Is You Still Young The Charms X-Ray Concrete Little Things Hailing from Dublin, Inhaler are an Irish band formed in 2012, consisting of members Elijah Hewson, Robert Keating, Josh Bartholomew Jenkinson, and Ryan McMahon. They released their debut album, It Won’t Always Be Like This , in 2021, charting at number one on the UK and Irish Albums Charts. Inhaler have since been on the rise, opening for well-known acts like Pearl Jam , Harry Styles , Arctic Monkeys , and Sam Fender . Citing the inspiration behind the band’s sound, Hewson named icons like The Stone Roses , New Order , Joy Division , Depeche Mode , Happy Mondays , Echo & the Bunnymen , Talking Heads , and Oasis as their primary writing influences. Departing from their typical indie/alt-rock sound, Inhaler’s Open Wide sees the band experimenting with a more pop-influenced sound. The opening track, “Eddie In The Darkness,” immediately shows us that new sonic direction, taking the driving rock instrumentals and fusing them with infectious pop melodies. “Billy (Yeah Yeah Yeah)” follows as the next installment on Open Wide , leaning into a nostalgic 80s pop-rock inspired soundscape. The track is a mid-tempo ballad, touching on topics like feeling lost in life, something that relates to the album’s overall meaning. Two of the singles released prior to the album, “Your House” and “Question Of You,” are absolute gems, channeling the essence of addictive pop-rock and electropop hits of the 70s and 80s. Both tracks are excellent examples of the album’s guitar-driven pop sound with “Your House” having riffs reminiscent of Norman Greenbaum ’s “Spirit in the Sky.” “Your House” and “Question Of You” also show that the band isn’t afraid to experiment, adding in a choir to back up Hewson’s dynamic vocals that bears a likeness to the layered vocals found in 70s pop-rock. Some of the lighter tracks on Open Wide , “Even Though,” “Again,” and “All I Got Is You” give fans a taste of that classic Inhaler sound, channeling the essence of their previous albums, It Won’t Always Be Like This and Cuts & Bruises . All three tracks give a nod to the band’s indie-rock roots while not straying too far from the pop-rock direction they are moving in. Living up to Hewson’s genetic legacy, the frontman and his band channel a sound reminiscent of U2’s power ballads with tracks like “Open Wide,” and “Still Young.” Hewson’s smooth vocals bear a striking resemblance to his father’s on these songs, giving us a taste of what U2 would sound like with a modern indie flare. Giving us some synth-laden electropop vibes, “The Charms” and “Concrete” keep the nostalgia for the 80s going, blending indie-pop melodies with retro-inspired instrumentals. Both tracks incorporate elements of 80s synth-rock and pop, creating a sound that might remind listeners of icons like The Cure . Sounding close to what we usually expect from Inhaler, “X-Ray” and “Little Things” remind fans of the group’s usual indie-rock sound, infusing a hint of indie-pop throughout the songs’ melodies. “Little Things” ends the adventurous album on a high-note, giving listeners a pick-me-up with its high energy and effectively wrapping up Inhaler’s best work yet. Though some are unhappy with the band moving in a more pop-influenced direction, Inhaler’s Open Wide is certainly an album to have on repeat. It’s a refreshing take on the group’s unique sound, keeping their music from getting stale or predictable. If you’ve never heard of Inhaler before, Open Wide is the perfect introduction to a fantastic, talented band!

Lexi Faye’s latest single “How Do I Let You Go” delves into the vulnerable feelings that can accompany grieving the end of a close relationship. Being close to someone for so long can make their presence something you always look forward to. Even when you’re apart, the bond has been cemented and being separate is too foreign of a concept.

- Review: "Alibi" - Zosia
It’s safe to say that today’s culture is fairly obsessed with con artists– scammers, cheaters, and all-around robbers, and yet our curiosity for such depravity keeps our attention regardless. Zosia’s newest single “Alibi” plays on this idolization of con artists, and how we romanticize them and their lifestyles. Idolization of not-so-great people isn’t new, but this track will have its listeners thinking on exactly why we do such things, when the result usually leaves us with lighter wallets and/or broken hearts; in the end, we just get hurt, but we always come crawling back for more. “Alibi” is dripping in dark, electro pop, enticingly smooth with a richness to its soundscape that makes it feel decadently addictive to listen to. If I had to describe “Alibi”, I would say it’s akin to a smoky room, hazy and mysterious. Its dark pop soundscape evokes out of its listeners a smoothness that the genre excels in, heightening our senses to every bit of instrumentation in the track. The low synth keeps that vibe going throughout the runtime, holding the tension in its hands; and then when you add Zosia’s gorgeous vocals into it all, you’ve got that slight lightness mixed with the darkness, and it all combines together to create a wonderful mixture of sounds that melds into the shadowy soundscape that is “Alibi”. Considering the lyrics, too, helps in reinforcing this mystifying atmosphere; Zosia sings of "the less you know, the more you’re mine”, reminding us that our ignorance only has us play more into the hands of liars and cheats, those who are out to exploit our lack of knowledge. In the end, as long as they have the "money"– whatever that might represent to you, whether it’s literal or metaphorical– they’ve got their “Alibi” and will get away scot-free. I love that Zosia leaves some room for interpretation for her listeners in the track, and it keeps the dark tone of the song malleable enough to fit whatever you might be imagining as the con artists in your life. Los Angeles based singer-songwriter and producer Zosia captures the essence of dark pop in her powerful vocals and passionate production. Her music journey began at age nine when she wrote bubblegum pop with dreams of becoming the next Britney Spears; time matured her style, and her musical world is now built of her vulnerability and resilience, all tied together with cinematic sounds and self-reflection. Atwood Magazine has described her as having a “shattering sound [that] bursts with so much raw emotion that it cuts to your soul.” Debuting in 2017 with her single “Water”, Zosia has gone on to release a myriad of tracks since then, including a debut EP in 2021 entitled Symptoms of Nature , which includes an in-depth reflection on existence that was borne of a college course on death. “Alibi” was Zosia’s final release of 2024, so be sure to follow her on her socials to keep track of what’s next in store!

- Review: "DRIVE EVERY HIGHWAY" - Carlee Morales
Allow yourself to breathe and center yourself through facing your fears with “DRIVE EVERY HIGHWAY” from artist Carlee Morales. From the first beat, a positive outlook on the future is embedded into the song’s sound. Morales begins “DRIVE EVERY HIGHWAY” with the background sounds of a camera shutter and rev of a starting engine, not only clearly & intelligently indicating the start of the track but additionally giving context to the song’s setting. “DRIVE EVERY HIGHWAY” embodies a love letter, both to travel and to the person spoken to in the track. With detailed decisions made, such as the inclusion of a camera shutter sound, the picture of a passion-filled relationship is beautifully painted across an audiological canvas. This relationship is one that seeks physical destinations of beauty, yet does the same – if not more – with emotional destinations as well. All in all, Morales describes a story that can be seen on the surface – through picturing a pair traveling from various place to place – and a story that sinks beneath layers, additionally alluding to highways of life that the pair will have to navigate in their time together. While it’s at first noticed that the pair described in “DRIVE EVERY HIGHWAY” is following a physical trip, I found myself more drawn to the emotional journey these two are on. This trip is a gamble for both of them, as detailed in lyrics such as, “Can’t see the ending but we’re feeling great.” These two are focused on the plan ahead, and one another, leaving the future open to interpretation. To not have a “single doubt” nor “an ETA”, this both shows listeners how open this connection is as well as their commitment to adventure is. On top of this, the overall ambience that the sound of “DRIVE EVERY HIGHWAY” emits perfectly meshes with the picture painted through its lyrics. While this pair is “paving tomorrow in a Chevrolet”, the laid-back, breezy guitar and speedy drums of the track transports you to the backseat of the car. The harder you fall into the track, the deeper you sink into the sand on a beach or in the waves of the ocean. “DRIVE EVERY HIGHWAY” embodies the feeling of freedom – in multiple different ways, showing how joy and trust cannot be put into a box. Carlee Morales is a singer-songwriter, drummer, and producer based in California. Over the last few years, Morales has been drawn to the overall music-making process. Whether it be the sound of guitars near a waterfall, cinematic drums, or space-like production, Morales enjoys playing around with music and not placing herself within a certain box. Morales’ vocals match the style & flow of artists like Sabrina Carpenter and Gracie Abrams, while her production has ranged from taking inspiration from artists like Lorde to leaning into a more fun-filled, 2000’s-adjacent sound. With Morales additionally being a drummer, music that fits a high energy especially speaks to her. “DRIVE EVERY HIGHWAY”, Morales’ most recent release, embodies the adventurous spirit she puts into her music and, with Morales playing every instrument recorded on the track, shows just how much energy she puts into her work. Morales is dedicated to only completing her work, and doing it well, but doing it the way she wants to. Written By Madison Spies FOLLOW CARLEE MORALES: Instagram | Spotify | YouTube
- Review: "Talk To Me" - Marie Pratt
Marie Pratt's "Talk to Me" is a powerful anthem for anyone who has been on the receiving end of ghosting. In the modern age of dating, communication has been lost. Instead of admitting to losing interest, people resort to blocking the person they are seeing and going radio silent. Pratt’s latest single is a cathartic release for the artist and every single listener who has experienced ghosting. The lyrics read like a conversation left half-spoken, full of unasked questions and unsaid words. Pratt highlights the disconnect – the gap between the two people – when she sings: "What if when we can decide how / We choose to talk / I am listening, you're not singing alone." The song alludes to the attempts to bridge the space between two hearts. Pratt implores her subject to break the vicious cycle of ghosting that has become so widely accepted. Instead, she wants them to lay it all out on the table, even if it may break her heart. This scenario is much easier than the silent waiting game – the moment when the lack of communication becomes the loudest form of conversation. The lyrics invite listeners to reflect on their own relationships, from past, present, and future, and allow them a powerful outlet to resonate in. "Talk to Me" is a masterclass in minimalism, blending sparse instrumentation with a rich, emotive vocal delivery that pulls listeners in. The song's structure is simple and subtle, using a repeating guitar riff and mid-tempo beat that showcases Pratt's voice. Her vocal performance is nothing short of captivating: there's a raw intimacy in her tone, like she's speaking directly to the listener in a moment of vulnerability. The instruments -- light percussion and gentle pluck of the guitar -- create a spacious atmosphere, allowing the song's emotional weight to hang in the air. The mood of the song is reflective, tinged with longing, almost navigating the delicate space between isolation and connection. It's a song that lingers long after it's over, leaving listeners with a sense of quiet yearning. It's a reminder of the power of silence and words left unspoken. Marie Pratt is a singer-songwriter from a city between Barcelona and Costa Brava. Her successful career includes appearances on media outlets and stages like Jamboree, Harlem Jazz Club, RTVE, and TV3. Pratt captivates the audience with her stage presence -- adding passion, talent, personality to each performance. Her music style blends R&B, Soul, Funky, and Pop which emphasizes her powerful and sensual voice. Pratt prides herself on her ability to connect with the audience through deep and meaningful lyrics that resonate for listeners. She said it best herself, "music ignites hearts" which is why she infuses her music with love and emotion. Listen to Pratt's two acclaimed albums!

- Review: “All About Us” - Joseph Morris
One thing that I find beautiful about the start of a new relationship is the vulnerability that can be shared or expressed with your significant other. Whether that means opening up about a past relationship that didn’t work out, or struggles or insecurities that you may be feeling. That’s the idea behind today’s newest single. “All About Us” is the latest single by British singer and songwriter, Joseph Morris. The song is about feeling safe with someone, despite struggling with your own insecurities and struggles. I knew that I should expect a slower song, so I’m glad I was right. This song had some incredible writing, especially in the second verse, my favorite lyric being “I love the way you’ve lift me up and how you’ve built my trust / How have I got here, never knowing of this future us? / I never knew how I needed you until tonight / Cause this is how good it could be, when it’s all going right.” This song almost sounds stripped-down with its simplicity compared to some of the other songs I’ve heard of his. The primary component is the piano, which is really able to truly shine in this song. I think with the lyrics Morris wrote, the song didn’t need any insane instrumental accompaniment. I think the use of the piano really allowed me to dive deep into the meaning behind the song… and the emotions behind the lyrics. I also love how as Morris gets toward the end of the song, he truly lets his emotions take over. He starts to belt a bit more and use his head voice. I could sense nothing but raw passion and vulnerability in those moments, and it really sold the song for me in the end. Joseph Morris is a singer and songwriter from Worcester in the United Kingdom. He first got his start in music back in 2016 with the release of his debut single, “This Is My Truth”. Then, just two years later… his second single, “I Deserve Better”, got its first radio appearance. Since then, Morris has gone on to release countless other singles. Some of his hits such as “Searching for You”, “Devoted”, and “Have I Lost My Mind” have gotten tens of thousands of streams. Throughout his career, Morris has even gotten the opportunity to perform with artists such as Boyzlife, So Solid Crew, and even James Arthur, who won the X Factor back in 2012. I expect Joseph Morris to have a bright and long career ahead of him, and I can’t wait to hear what he releases next. Be sure to go and stream “All About Us” everywhere, now!

- Review: "Lincoln place" - Angelica Barrera
Angelica Barrera's "Lincoln place" is a deeply introspective reflection on the complexities of relationships and self-discovery. Barrera's raw vocals, paints a vivid picture of someone grappling with the aftermath of a love that's slowly unraveling. Lines like, "And I so naive / Didn't listen, big mistake / So now you come tell me / I'm sorry I'll never forget you" evoke a sense of nostalgia, where even the familiar streets, once filled with shared moments, now feel cold and distant. The vulnerability in her delivery resonates with anyone who's faced the bitter realization that love has become something unrecognizable. The song resonates with the feeling of losing touch with someone who once felt like home. It can feel familiar when listening, serving as a reminder of coming to terms with how much you changed.

- Review: "Morals" - Danica Bryant
The song ‘Morals’ by Danica Bryant is exactly what the music industry is moving towards in terms of honest, raw, bubbly artistry. What seems to be the New Zealand version of Sabrina Carpenter without taking any credit away from Danica, this song explores the honest truth of how our morals, when not aligned with another person, feels incredibly wrong. What Danica reminds us is that it’s a common human feeling which relates to an audience who has no problem speaking their minds and communicating their feelings but might feel like they’re putting themselves out there too much. What makes Danica so unique is the contrast of these lyrics behind a fun, comforting, girly pop beat underneath. Danica opens the song up immediately with her singing over a simple guitar rhythm which gives the song room to grow throughout. This is a nice touch since the lyrics are so well thought out that you’re able to pay attention to what she’s saying more. The raw honesty comes from lines like, “been selfish with my words” and “trying hard to be enough” before entering a chorus that reminds the listener of summer. The chorus is versatile in the sense that you want to roll down your windows to blast it but also can go to the gym to run to it. It’s relatable and the truth. Danica’s ability to keep things versatile while relatable is what makes her songs unique. Danica Bryant is a singer-songwriter from New Zealand whose concern is about making music that speaks on celebrity culture and mental health. Bringing a bright pink aesthetic should not be misleading about her punches in her lyrics. Her ideas and opinions are loud and understood which is the wave that the music industry is moving. Her 2020 debut EP ‘Cider’ landed her a spot on APRA’s prestigious Songhubs while her follow-up singles ‘Heart Eyes’ and ‘Ready to Bite’ saw her debut to the NZ Hot Singles Chart. Danica Bryant’s inventive sound, honest lyrics, and rich vocals make her topical no matter the occasion. Written By Breanna M.
