  • Review: "5 Stages of Grief" - Hutton

    In Hutton’s aptly titled breakup anthem “5 Stages of Grief”, Hutton muses on what we go through after the breakup is all said and done. As a breakup is the end of something, it is only natural that we grieve what the relationship was and will not ever be– with soft strings and gentle percussion, listeners are treated to a gorgeously passionate track that details how we eventually get over and through the grief of that relationship’s end. All the denial, anger, bargaining, and depression will always end with acceptance. “5 Stages of Grief” takes us through that journey, but ultimately focuses on being okay with losing that once-special someone. If soft heartbreak is your thing, you’re going to love “5 Stages of Grief”. There’s something really special about this single; Hutton manages to infuse so much emotion into each line she sings, and as a listener you can really feel the weight of the relationship in the song. Each verse details a little bit about about said relationship and the corresponding stage of grief that the narrator is going through. And in the bridge, all of it comes to a head as Hutton sings, “It started with denial / you let me take the blame” and so on with anger, bargaining, depression, and finally acceptance. I love how the instrumentals swell here, gathering energy in this last burst of emotion before plateauing out into serene acceptance. The track remains consistent in its instrumentals throughout the runtime with a lovely guitar and temperate percussion, but I always love a song that increases its intensity in tandem with its lyrics. “5 Stages of Grief” is a beautiful song that, while about downs we go through during a breakup, truly highlights how we are always able to move on from it. Singer-songwriter Hutton has forever been an artist at heart. For her, creating music is a form of therapy, and a way to put emotions into words. Originally from Telluride, Colorado, at eighteen she moved to Los Angeles, and has spent the last two years working on developing her artist project. Working alongside producers Austen Healey, Runnner, Stephen Conley, and Derek Ted, Hutton has written a multitude of songs that are inspired by the sounds of the late 90s to early 2000s, as well as today’s pop artists such as Olivia Rodrigo, Phoebe Bridgers, and Chappell Roan. 2024 saw Hutton’s debut single “COOL!”, as well as her second single “Afterparty”. “5 Stages of Grief” is Hutton’s third single, but is definitely not the last.

  • Review: "Petty" - Claudy

    It’s advised by many people to simply “turn the other cheek” when it comes to situations where gossip is involved. Most of the time, the gossip being spread is partly exaggerated. Rumors. Petty conversation is utilized to simply get under our skin, and rouse a reaction out of us. Although it’s heavily urged to ignore the talk, it becomes increasingly difficult when the gossip is not only incessant but untrue. We find ourselves much more aggravated and incredulous when we learn that the messy rumors are filled with ignorance and intentions to desecrate someone. This riles up a reaction response, a need for satisfaction fills us where we suddenly want the person to face the consequences for spewing lies all for attention– wasting their energy on something so trivial. This is where many of us find the inclination to fight back and give the troublesome person their well-deserving and humbling experience. “Petty” by Claudy is a song about a similar situation where our singer, Claudy, labels herself as “Petty”, not at all shying away from that title, like how most would do. Instead, she holds the name with pride, candidly admitting that, yes, she is petty. Particularly to those who wish to spread lies, words filled with ignorance. The song opens up with an uplifting sound of solo piano keys following a rhythmic tempo that blends into something that sounds almost joyful and playful. As Claudy’s voice settles in, the message of the song becomes a bit more clear. Though it’s about being petty, and actively choosing to fight back with the person who wishes to spread lies, it’s almost as though Claudy is simply dancing around the debacle here– carefree, almost. Akin to the piano keys that open up in a carefree manner, Claudy nearly dances around the lyrics as she repeats “I’m petty, I’m petty”, in a way where she is almost warning the person of just how petty  she can truly be– taunting them. This is a certain scenario that a plethora of people can also find themselves in. Whether it's with friends, an ex, or even close loved ones. It’s one situation I have also found myself in many times. Lies being spread, assumptions being made– all to rouse a reaction, some even projecting. However, at the end of the day, the source behind such lies is never left untreated. People of all receive the consequences they deserve. Claudy, here, just so happens to be more than proud to voice her pettiness and argue back, just like many of us have. The nonchalant essence the sound conveys is virulent, prompting listeners to sing along. Claudy, the person behind the song, is a singer and songwriter based in London, originally from Switzerland. Claudy creates music that is a blend of both indie and pop, her lyrics having meaning and conveying emotion that mostly relates to situations she has encountered, and some that many people can find themselves resonating with as well. “Petty” is her most recent single release, however, Claudy also has more songs available, like one she released in 2023 titled “Anxiety” along with two more in 2022 and 2021 titled “Fight Me” and “Roller Coaster”. Claudy has a passion for singing and making music, sharing her passion with those on her social media, and posting covers of popular songs to share and exhibit her talents with her listeners. On her Instagram, she can be seen teasing her followers with snippets of songs she has in the works, showing off her amazing progress and her hard work behind the creation of music, the level of meticulous time put in to construct her music. As Claudy continues her musical journey, I can’t help but look forward to more of her work! To keep up with Claudy, follow her socials.

There is nothing wrong with stopping to smell the flowers or, like he sings, taking a peaceful drive to add serenity to your life to focus on yourself and your goals. Like the lyrics, "It's Cool" has a peaceful and relaxing production. It falls into the genre of easy listening, while also being influenced by lo-fi music, and with an added pop trap beat. Its refreshing to listen to music where the production matches the same vibes as the artist's vocals and what they are singing about, as most songs often have opposing instrumentation and lyrical styles. All around, this song is a breath of fresh air. There are interesting vocal effects in the song also, but they do not take away from Schueler's amazing singing voice. He harmonizes throughout "It's Cool" and sings the background vocals as well. Drew Schueler is a musician from and based in Nashville, Tennessee. He began releasing music in 2018 with his debut single "Open Water". In the same year, he released his debut EP New Perspective .

You see the reality of things by watching how others live. You'll notice in the video and cover art, there's a chess board which holds a lot of symbolism for this song. We're all pawns in this game of life, just trying make it by. Some of people will do anything to be successful, even if it means lying or hurting others for their own personal gain. Sarah sings of being tired of dealing with people like that, letting all her thoughts and feelings out in this ear-catching indie-pop track. "F" has a nostalgic vibe, with dreamy layers of guitars and airy synths. The heavy reverb and Sarah's gentle vocals add to the retro tone, with a popping bass and a drum kit to give this song a very raw and real sound. J Next, we have "J", a very short and painfully tragic song about someone whom you once were close with, hurts you beyond repair. You're just so taken aback by how they could do something so horrible to destroy your respect for them, that the pain takes a second to kick in. There are some things that just can't be forgiven, and when someone betrays you to the point you feel like you could die from the heartbreak it caused, that's enough to justify never speaking to them again. Sarah expresses that this track was a very hard one to finish, because the emotions were so raw in the moment, but the track turned out perfect. Some of the best songs come from the most painful times. "J" features her unique, signature harmonica, a deep bass and a stunning acoustic guitar picking pattern. Sarah sings gorgeously with passionate emotion and soaring background vocals to add to the somber atmosphere. S Lastly, we have "S", a relatable dark electro-pop song about feeling like you're never doing enough. You're in a constant hurry to do more to satisfy the need to be "enough", but you never reach the end. It's exhausting, unrealistic, and numbing to your soul. You're unable to enjoy the moment, and all the little things in life because of all these constant worries. "S" uses dark pop and electronic elements in it's production to create this haunting but catchy soundscape. Sarah sings this addicting melody that catches your ear instantly. The whole entire vibe is perfectly crafted. "S" builds and builds until it reaches this cathartic climax where Sarah plays a harmonica solo for the high dynamic outro. The ending to this song is a whole experience within itself, but it's the perfect touch to bring the emotion to a brand new height. I think Sarah Meyz "Things That They Don't Know" EP is a brilliant concept, and it left me wanting more. It's just such a creative and original idea that I could see there being a whole album like this. Not only that, but Sarah has such a unique style and musical universe that is entirely her own, while at the same time managing to make each song sound like a completely different world to explore. The way she's able to make you feel intense emotion not just through lyrics and vocals, but through the actual music and production itself is such an incredibly rare talent to have as well. Sarah Meyz has something really special here, and I highly suggest if you enjoyed this EP to check out her other songs as well, including her recently released single not on this EP titled "Keep Down".
