Once again, artist Edie Yvonne has created an instant pop anthem with her latest single, “Epitome.” The song explores the challenges of trying to manage a difficult relationship with someone who is hard to understand. The song is incredibly personal, and for someone of her age, it’s incredibly well executed. Even though “Epitome” is an introspective emotional track, it’s still so fun with its spunky nature. The song blends multiple elements, from the classic dance synths to the distorted guitars. All of this paired with Edie Yonne’s angelic voice creates the adventurous harmony that is “Epitome.” The song is introduced to us with the use of some 80s synth which certainly adds color to this painting. Edie Yvonne has such a sweet voice, but her words carry an edge to them as they express the strain of the relationship and how trying to understand the other person feels impossible. A really cool aspect of this track is how the distorted guitars contract Yvonne’s voice, which in a way could be alluding to the complications of this relationship. Her voice especially shines during the chorus as she shows off the control she has over it. Another really interesting artistic choice by Yvonne is for her to sing the second verse in Spanish. It takes you by surprise for a second, but the outcome is great. All these elements come together so well to create the dance-pop anthem that is “Epitome.” Edie Yvonne is an artist based in Los Angeles who has been releasing music for the past two years. Not only is she a talented musician, but she is also an actress who has worked on several short films. Over the span of her career, she has cultivated many fans and now has over 2,000 monthly listeners on Spotify. “Epitome” marks the celebration of Yvonne’s 16th birthday and for someone so young she is incredibly talented, which makes her such an exciting artist. With “Epitome” Edie Yvonne is able to portray how far she’s come as a young artist and how she will only continue to rise high.

It’s easy to get caught in the waves of life’s oceans. All you really have to do to get out of it is remember how to swim– kick your legs and propel yourself back to land. Yet, we tend to get caught in the tumult anyways, and Alicia Campbell’s debut single “Floating out of Water” is a quiet conversation on how we float out into that watery body, becoming stuck in the uncertain spaces between figuring out our own identities and being the person we want to be. With loving guitar and tender piano, this track is a tender and earnest take on our journeys toward discovering ourselves. The waters might be rough, but we’ll get there eventually. To learn how to swim, we first have to take those initial steps into the water and learn how to float. If you like Phoebe Bridgers, indie folk, or any other sound in either of those veins, you’re going to adore “Floating out of Water”. I know I did the moment I heard the first beat, listening to this shy guitar slowly gathering its confidence in the gentle minutes the track plays. The instrumentals aren’t very crowded– in fact, they’re fairly sparse, with a guitar, light percussion, and piano– but I felt that this little fact added so much to the song’s overall message. There’s a solitude, almost loneliness, that follows the lyrics. Considering that the track is about not knowing who you are, and the beginnings of floating away due to it, it is a rather apt way to illustrate that isolated feeling we get when we’re not sure who or what we’re meant to be. Campbell’s vocals help to enhance this as well, twining the soundscape together with her soft and melodic voice. I think we’ve all been through either losing our identity, or not knowing it in the first place, which makes “Floating out of Water” a track that will make you feel connected, seen. There’s a line that goes, “It’s not me but it’s who I’m wanting to be / Is she there? She’s calling me”, and you can really feel the echoes of the narrator’s voice, wondering where her sense of self is, calling out to her. I loved how the song ended with this gradual swell of the instrumentals, before cutting out entirely; such a poetic way to end the track, as if to say that we will stop floating away eventually to find our footing. Alicia Campbell is an actor, singer, and songwriter. Inspired by nature and moments both beautiful and bittersweet, Campbell’s burgeoning musical career is influenced by these soft feelings. Her style is a combination between folk, indie, and pop, culminating in soundscapes that are reminiscent of artists such as Phoebe Bridgers, The Staves, and Jasmine Jethwa. In addition to her solo music, she has also created Savana Glacial’s pre-show music for New York’s 2019 Fringe Festival, as well as working in collaboration with "Postcards from Invisible Journeys" for their audio art piece "This too is an experience of the heart" to create the accompanying music. “Floating out of Water” is her debut single, released October of this year. Following that is her debut EP “Bathing in Watercolor”, of which “Floating out of Water” is the first track. For those who like that relaxing folksy style, you’ll definitely want to keep an eye on Alicia Campbell! Written By Alexa Leung FOLLOW ALICIA CAMPBELL: Instagram | Spotify  | Apple Music  | Website

I’ve always been a firm believer that family doesn’t always have to be blood. Sometimes the ones we are related to by DNA can treat us so poorly and make us feel invaluable. It’s really about the ones you find along the way who care for you and respect you. Mim Jensen shared her new single “Same Blood” capturing her experience. Will McGillivray produced this song to have that indie pop rock feel with guitar textures and an almost constant drum beat. Mim Jensens vocals are full of vulnerability and emotion and sit beautifully on top of all the melodic layers. This song makes you want to bop your head while simultaneously crying on your bedroom floor. As someone who sees the world differently from family members and feels secluded from it, I resonated with the lyrics from the first listen. “All you do is push my boundaries, when all you had to do was love me.” Family is supposed to love each other, it’s what everyone says, but how can you hold space in your heart for the family that goes against everything you are. Mim Jensen reminds us that it’s okay to not love those with the same blood and if separating yourself from them is what you need to do, then do it. “We may have the same blood, but that don’t make a difference to me.” “Same Blood” hits such a deep part of me that sat alone with these feelings for so long. Music is meant to be related to and I am thanking Mim Jensen for this masterpiece that I’m sure a lot of us understand all too well. Mim Jensen is a Aotearoa/New Zealand based singer-songwriter. Taking the emotional aspects of rock n’ roll and blending it into her own sound, she has performed at many festivals and headlined incredible shows. She released her debut single “Germaphobe” back in 2022 which became a huge viral success and inspired her to keep going. She followed it up with two other singles, “Pause Button” and “The Colour Blue,” in 2023. Mim also released her debut EP “Emotional Affair” in 2023. After taking time to write, record and tour, she is now prepping for the release of her next EP, “Shadow Of The Gift.” She writes from her own personal experiences with heartbreak and moments of self reflection. “Same Blood” is our first glimpse into what this EP will be and I can’t wait to hear the rest.

American/Italian Singer-Songwriter and Multi-Instrumentalist, Jess Casinelli has released her first ever EP, "Everything in Between", capturing all very different moments and stories from her life within the past five years. The only real theme connecting each track is that there is none.. they're all just a part of "Everything in Between". - Jess TRACKLIST November Time Machine Over and Over Basketball in Bed The Way She Looks At You Jess Casinelli was raised in Stamford, Connecticut but is now based in Los Angeles, California. She stepped out into the online spotlight 4 years ago, starting with posting covers and live performances on her YouTube channel and social media pages. She officially released her first ever original single in 2021, titled "Panic". Since then, she's been consistently releasing original songs throughout the years, now with a total of fourteen singles, and spends a lot of her time performing live. Now, she has finally released her debut EP, featuring five tracks which include two brand new songs. Jess Casinelli is a stand out artist for many reasons, but she is known for her unconventional and very personal songwriting tactics, relatability, and unique vocals. "Everything in Between" the EP is the newest edition to Jess's discography to highlight all of these traits that make her the beloved singer and songwriter she is. Let's get into these tracks. November We start off this EP with "November", a sorrowful but stunning piano ballad. Accompanied by just keys, and an eerie, airy production effect, Jess sings with passion and pain behind her tone. "November" is about how a certain time of year can bring back memories that you don't want to think about. Those memories then cause you to fall back into the feelings you were dealing with at the time; in this case, it was heartbreak and self-destruction. The lyrics in this song tell a story so deeply painful, and I encourage you to pay attention to them in detail while you listen, but really, the last phrase about sums it all up. "Just one bad day could last for a week, sometimes a whole month sucks, but November has always fucked me up". The way the song ends gives you chills down your spine, with it's haunting atmosphere. Time Machine Next we have "Time Machine", a ballad-esque nostalgic pop/rock song that is so filled to the brim with cathartic emotion that it almost sounds like it could be part of a musical theatre show finale, or at least a perfect closing song for a rock concert. Once you reach the chanting moment at the end, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. "Time Machine" is about meeting that perfect person you'd never ever want to lose, but you know that life is full of unexpected twists and turns and no matter what promises are made, you never know what can happen. You can't help but have that anxiety in the back of your mind that the person you want to spend you life with might change their mind one day; and all you can hope for is that they don't - but Jess sing's about how if they do, she hope's to god there's a time machine so that she can go back in time to get this person back, even if she has to build it herself. Over and Over "Over and Over" was the final single release in anticipation of Jess's EP. Just a fair warning, grab the tissues on this one! Not only did it bring a tear to my eye, but by the end my whole body was in chills and covered in goosebumps. Jess considers this to be her most personal song yet, one that wasn't easy to share but needed to be, which is understandably so. Although it's a very vulnerable and personal song for Jess, she wrote it in a way that isn't meant to give away too much of her own life. She wants her listeners to take it and connect their own story, so that they don't feel alone. The gist of the lyrics are reflecting on a childhood trauma, something that could've possibly changed the chemistry of who you are forever but you'll never actually know for sure. You find yourself wondering if your life was different back then, if you'd be a different person now. Not only that, but that pain that was inflicted on you as a child, still comes back to haunt you today as an adult. It's not fair that now you have to go your whole life completely controlled by this negative force. "Over and Over" is a tragically stunning song, with piano, orchestral strings, and gentle vocal harmony embellishments filling the air. The song starts with an addicting piano riff, and throughout the song you'll hear rhythm changes and dynamic shifts that move with the complicated emotions. Once we near the end, the song takes a moment of silence, before returning to that same piano riff it began with. Basketball in Bed "Basketball in Bed" was the first single released from this EP. It's a fun little pop/rock love song about how the things your partner loves gives you comfort when you're away from them. In this song's case, it's basketball, FIFA, tequila and meditation videos. Jess sings about putting on basketball games in bed when her partner is away, and falling asleep to the announcer's voice because she's starting to get used to hearing it, and even starting to like these things as well. The instrumentation in "Basketball in Bed" feels so real and raw, like a teenage band playing straight out of their garage in the early 2000's. It feels and sounds as passionate and genuine as music can get. One of my favorite moments is the interlude right before the last chorus, where you can hear a basketball game playing in the background while a gorgeous guitar solo flow overtop. It adds the perfect touch to really bring this song to life. The Way She Looks At You We bring the EP to a close with the leading focus track, "The Way She Looks At You", which features a music video! This song is about when there's someone else after your man, and it's too close for comfort. He promises you that he would never pursue this other woman, but you can't help but wonder in the back of your mind if he wasn't with you, would he? These jealous thoughts and crippling anxieties are enough to give anyone a heart attack. All you want is to have safety and security in your relationship, but because of this other woman who clearly has a thing for him, you're constantly on high alert. "The Way She Looks At You" has a retro feel, with an 80's pop/rock groove and tone with multiple electric guitars and a simple drum beat. For the majority of the song, Jess sings in annoyance and anger towards her partner about this other woman, but once we reach the end, her tone switches to more of a pleading confidence that they can work it out as she changes up the final chorus lyrics. Even though Jess Casinelli has been releasing music for a few years now, she is only just getting started. With the "Everything in Between" EP, she's taking the next step in showing this world what she's got. She is hands down one of the most unique artists I've had the pleasure of listening to, and that's saying a lot considering the thousands of people I've heard as a music blogger. She is a master lyricist; a storyteller that knows how to draw you in from the very first word and keep you captivated until the very last. Her voice is so incredibly unique; she is literally singing with all of her heart and soul and you can hear it in her tone. She's so expressive and theatrical. The best way I can describe her voice is like musical theatre in it's rebellious era. I love how every song on this EP has it's own sound and story, completely separating themselves from each other as individual experiences; that way you can really fully immerse yourself into every different emotion as Jess intended for listeners to do. After all, there is no connecting story here as Jess said, it's just "Everything in Between".

The finale of adan diaz 's newest EP ah-dawn is the seventh track "young picasso", a love song about the singer's romantic interest.

Focusing on the negative aspects and yet finishing every verse with the sentiment that Magwire is not ready to leave it yet, he perfectly encapsulates the adult feeling of growing up. A gentle folk guitar, harmonica melody, and finger picking guides listeners through the song as Magwire sings about the fear of what comes after death, cards declining at the grocery store, and the lull of a boring nine to five job.

The track starts with the light guitar chords, and a back and forth on Magwire’s perspective.

Throughout the song, Magwire takes listeners on a journey reflecting life itself. His lyrics are specific and heartfelt, and truly correlate to the thoughts in his own head- that life is tiring but there is so much more to see in the world.

Sean Magwire has spent his entire life surrounded by music. Hailing from Angola, Indiana, Magwire picked up a guitar at age 14, after his father introduced him to artists such as the Beatles and Simon & Garfukel.
