A bond you share with someone can be something so vibrant and significant. It’s a sort of connection that’s nearly inimitable. However, there comes a time when the connection you’ve had with this person can practically fade away. Whether this person was meant to serve as a short lesson in your life or not, the waning love that was once burgeoning with vitality and vehement passion now seems almost paltry and so far away. Out of reach, almost, as if all we are capable of doing is watching it drift off, being powerless to stop the innate course of a disconsolate conclusion that it’s inevitably headed toward. It’s a painful dose of reality that many of us can relate to, a situation where many have found themselves, akin to a continuous spiral of anguish and misery as we observe what was once so valued in our aching hearts, extirpate into oblivion. “Oblivion”, by Silke, is a song that depicts a similar heartbreaking debacle. A song that tells a forlorn story about the painful event of a special connection that was once so emphatic only for it to fade into nothing— where that ostentatious bond only seems to, unfortunately, fall off, away into something inaccessible and impossible to salvage. Click here to listen to "Oblivion"! The song opens powerfully, setting the stage for such a bold and meaningful song– It’s a blend of a lush and electronic sound that only seems to further grasp the attention of the listeners with its incredible and unforgettable sound. Silke’s distinctive voice only seems to add another level of intimacy and emotion as her blithe voice essentially caresses the hearts of her listeners in such a captivating and memorable way. Singing about a topic that strikes remorseful emotion that has us reflect on former relationships where this predicament has perhaps taken action, leaving us with a hole in our heart that was left neglected and devoid of any reassurance. The lyrics to the song further highlight the fleeting nature of love, a haunting reality that many unfortunately experience. It’s a certain kind of emotion that courses through you when you realize the connection you once had with someone is no longer what it once was. Silke was able to put that very emotion into such emotive lyrics with a sound that’s nearly indelible for the listeners.  Silke is a Norwegian singer and songwriter and is a producer who mostly resonates with sounds like electronic and pop.

“We Are Not Fine” is the newest single by Lola Blanc, a song in which she realizes the relationship she’s in is not going in a good direction. She uses California as a metaphor for her and this person not being in a good place, criticizing it’s stereotypes. At first, she didn’t want to accept the relationship is worsening, but now she realizes it is. Now, she really wants this person to admit and also accept that they are most likely not going to work out, and that the relationship won’t be healthy if it continues. Blanc singing “Hold my hand and don’t let go”, while it doesn’t seem like it, is her saying goodbye by letting this person down easy. A sample of an older orchestral song introduces “We Are Not Fine” before it fades into the production. Reverberated piano notes and drums occupy the verses, and then become more dramatic during the chorus, and are accompanied by a violin. The tone of Blanc’s vocals match the tempos of each section of the song. In the bridge, an organ appears, and she now harmonizes with backup singers. Overall, the song is a combination of power pop and gospel music, especially with her repeating “Hold my hand” several times with the background voices. She also has an immensely talented singing voice, changing octaves easily throughout “We Are Not Fine”. In addition to being a musician, Lola Blanc is also an actor and filmmaker from Fremont, Michigan. She has cowritten a song for Britney Spears and has worked with Sophie.

One of the hardest experiences is feeling uncomfortable in your own skin. In this generation specifically, a person’s self-image is plastered all over social media so it’s easy for people to form their own opinions on how they view a person. It’s easier to fake a smile in front of everyone, but the consequence is losing yourself in the process. “Anyone Else” by Sydney Dale goes through this difficult feeling of wanting to be anyone else but yourself. This song is a balance between recognizing and understanding that you are the only person you can rely on, but at the same time it also explores the creeping thought of wanting to change yourself to be like “Anyone Else”. If you’re someone else, then you won’t have to go through the hardships that you might be facing in your everyday life. The lyrics in this song explain that Sydney usually keeps to herself and that no one is really aware of her struggle, which makes this song more like a cry for help. Maybe if she’s someone else, then she’ll have the confidence she’s been looking for. She’s stuck in a cycle of constantly comparing herself to other girls which is one of the reasons why she’s unhappy. This song is a perfect combination of a sad message with a more upbeat production. I would classify this as a pop song, but there are definitely elements from other genres that bleed into the sound. Sydney’s voice is soft and consistent throughout, until she gets to the bridge. That’s where her vocals really shine, she hits a lot of impressive notes that really give the song more power and emotion. The production is very layered and truly transforms a song with vulnerable lyrics to a pop hit. The instrumentation is very acoustic and mellow before the buildup of the pop sound. This song is a great example of Sydney’s talent. Another great aspect of this song is that she’s singing about a relatable common experience, so that if you’re connecting with these lyrics it would be more of an incentive to check out her other music.

"Convenient" by Siena Larsson is an honest song about an unfair relationship. The speaker calls out their partner on the tactless selfishness of their ways.
