  • Review: "Kind Love" - Sam Heselwood

    Step into a fully fledged storybook romance with Sam Heselwood’s latest single ‘Kind Love’. This song, in its entirety, is a love song. ‘Kind Love’ is dedicated to finding someone who makes your life more enjoyable, more loving & kinder, simply by just being there. Heselwood describes the “normalcy” of going through life and exploring uncharted waters, such as life dealing its heaviest hand at times. As complications happen in every relationship, this situation of finding true love is not left undisturbed by life and aging. Heselwood paints a picture of the positives and negatives of figuring out one’s life and their path in it, yet the overall message of ‘Kind Love’ does not leave a sour taste in the audience’s mouth. The song does not focus on the negative and rather embraces the positive – being loving someone, being loved by them, and knowing that you’ll figure out whatever comes to you – together. ‘Kind Love’ speaks to me on a personal level, touching me from the moment I played the track. The delicate, light picking of guitar alongside Heselwood’s raw vocals transcended the song for me. With the song already having spoken to me from its lyrics, Heselwood’s vocal abilities and layering of instrumental elements just made the experience sweeter. While Heselwood’s style is one that is difficult to pinpoint, as I believe he has fantastic range and can apply his abilities to several varying genres, it is one that I resonate with and find positive similarities with other artists. Artists who incorporate more “raw” elements of song making, such as using acoustic guitar, like Noah Kahan and Gregory Alan Isakov come to mind as I dive into Heselwood’s world. Except, unlike Kahan and Isakov, this is Heselwood’s own world and space. His lyrics, and overall music, feel entirely personal and do not lack detail in the slightest. While that vein of a crossover between indie/folk and pop music is done well by artists like Kahan and Isakov, Heselwood is bringing something new to the table and with a fresh, personal, and truthful perspective. Sam Heselwood is a singer-songwriter from Christchurch, New Zealand. Spending his childhood years in the small town of Darfield, music did not come at this time for Heselwood. He was encouraged by his primary school teacher to explore music, leading to Heselwood falling in love with it. By high school, Heselwood had become a rugby player and took time off music to focus on the sport. At age 21, Heselwood was back into the full swing of music and entered the Golden Guitar awards, where he became a finalist with his song “High Off Love”. Now leaning fully into the world of music, Heselwood puts a focus on family, mental health, and love in his craft. Inspired by artists like Ed Sheeran and Lewis Capaldi, Heselwood incorporates both a powerful voice and honest lyricism into his work.

  • Album Review: "Shawn" - Shawn Mendes

    Musician Shawn Mendes has released his fifth studio record Shawn , his second eponymous album. In it, he details how his life has been after cancelling his tour to focus on himself and his mental health, finally taking a well-deserved break. T R A C K L I S T 1. Who I Am 2. Why Why Why 3. That's the Dream 4. Nobody Knows 5. Isn't That Enough 6. Heart of Gold 7. Heavy 8. That'll Be The Day 9. In Between 10. The Mountain 11. Rollin' Right Along 12. Hallelujah Mendes was just a young kid from Ontario, Canada who decided to download the Vine app and film himself playing the guitar and singing. Eleven years and several chart-topping hits later, he's one of the biggest names of pop music, garnering massive amounts of success and international fame. With songs like "Stitches", "Treat You Better", and "Se ñorita" under his belt, Mendes has made a huge and everlasting impact on not just the music industry, but the world. Who I Am Shawn begins with an acoustic introduction, the song "Who I Am". Mendes realizes he needs to take a break from performing to mentally recover from the pressures of working so much, such as making music and going on tour. He brings up how he had to cancel the remainder of the dates of his tour Wonder: The World Tour in July 2022 after seven shows in order to focus on his mental health. Based on how upset he was when he had to cancel a show due to losing his voice in his documentary Shawn Mendes: In Wonder , its obvious how terrible Mendes feels about having to have done that, but knows he needs to take a much needed break. Why Why Why "Why Why Why", while an upbeat folk song with echoing harmonization and sweet guitar chords, is full of regret. Mendes does not understand why he made certain decisions in his life, such as turning someone down and performing and making music even though he was tired and needed a break. This is all taking a toll on him, mentally and physically, and that he feels like everything is going in a circle and he keeps having to reexperience these distressful situations. Him singing "Why" three times in a row can be interpreted as a call out for help, as well as him unable to understand what's going on in his life. That's the Dream This song occurs during Mendes either taking a pause on his relationship with a partner or after the relationship has ended. Mendes does not want to be apart from this person, feeling loneliness as he looks back on the relationship during its better moments. He still wants to be with this person, but at the same time realizes its not in the cards for their relationship to continue, but also is discouraged by this. He explains that he misses this person over another acoustic beat with a slower tempo, paired with guitar, making this an indie-pop song with more folk influence. Nobody Knows Mendes wants to know where the love two people in a relationship once had goes when they break up. A relationship could have many great qualities, but there could be something blocking it from continuing, which causes the relationship to end. What happens to all of those great qualities that keeping the relationship afloat until that point? That is what Mendes wonders about on "Nobody Knows". He is joined by another singer as he belts out the chorus in this slowed down track with prominent drums that have changing rhythms and are unique, alongside notable guitar riffs. Isn't That Enough In contrast to the overwhelming success of Mendes's music career, an outstanding achievement itself, there are the little things in life that he has grown an appreciation for. Instead of focusing on a bigger picture, he pays attention to what is going on around him in his personal life, as well as in nature. He views these occurrences in a new perspective, and asks "Isn't that enough?", realizing that a Hollywood lifestyle may no longer suit him, and perhaps a quiet and peaceful life could take its place and it would make more sense to live like that and not experience the consequences of fame anymore. Heart of Gold Another beautiful track on this album is not complete without reverberated country guitar riffs. "Heart of Gold" is dedicated to Dejomi, who Mendes was friends with during his early teenage years. Dejomi suffered from drug addiction and passed away when Mendes was young, which heavily affected Mendes, including not being able to go to his funeral because he was touring at the time. Before this, Dejomi and Mendes grew apart due to Mendes becoming busy with his music career, and Mendes was unable to express his pain in learning his friend died until he began making this song. Heavy "Heavy" is a mix of power pop and folk as Mendes belts out that he needs support and does not want to feel alone anymore. He has felt isolated while on tour, experiencing the same night over and over again, and was unable to open up because he felt as though he was not ready yet. This lead to him rejecting it and trying to push down his feelings so he could continue working, but eventually he realized this is an unhealthy way to cope with his emotions. Now, he wants to find and have stability in his life by turning to people he knows he can count on for guidance. That'll Be The Day "The Day" that is mentioned on the title of this track is when Mendes will no longer have feelings for a past partner, which is also the day he dies. He believes he will take the feelings he still has for this person with him to his grave, because that is how strongly he feels about his former relationship. Mendes even says that he can move on, but mentally he will not actually be able to, and he believes that as long as he is still alive, there is still a chance for the love of the past relationship to be reignited. Leading up to the song's outro is a guitar-plucking solo, not before Mendes once again provides incredible harmonies on this album. In Between Mendes references the previous track "Isn't That Enough" in "In Between" in regards to not wanting to have a long-term relationship and eventually settle down, and instead wants to slowly ease into a relationship. He does not want a short-term romance, but also needs time and space without immediately diving into marriage and other life-changing decisions. Mendes is aware the person he is with does not share the same perspective on this relationship, feeling as though there can only be one outcome, breaking up or always staying together, but he tries to convince the person he is with to appreciate the time they spend together no matter the outcome. The Mountain Mendes puts down all gossip, speculations, and any form of discouragement charged in his direction in "The Mountain". One of the cons of being famous is the amount of hatred and negativity you have to face on a day-to-day basis, and Mendes is no stranger to that, even at the start of his career when he was just a kid. After reconnecting with nature, Mendes declares how meaningless celebrity culture is, especially when there is so much beauty in life, and how he does not let people making assumptions about the kind of person he is affect him. Rollin' Right Along Mendes realizes he has to let go of his past in order to live in the present and move on into the future. He says that when he was younger, he felt as though he was trying to grow up too fast, most likely due to the pressures of being in the music industry at a young age. Now, however, he knows he can't turn back time and change the past so he just has to keep going forward. This also applies to his former relationships. Mendes's love life has been a topic that has been featured on tracks on this album, and this includes trying to let go of those he once had relationships with. Hallelujah The final track of Shawn is a stunning and angelic cover of "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen. This is a beautiful outro for an amazing album. Fitting with the other eleven tracks, soft guitar chords are played throughout the song, and Mendes's incredible vocals pair perfectly with them. Also in the song are strings and an organ, and harmonies that bounce off imaginary church walls and intertwine in the center of the cathedral to create a delightful and extraordinary musical masterpiece. It takes a lot of skill to cover "Hallelujah", but Mendes is able to do it effortlessly. After a hiatus, it can be hard for musicians to find their musical footing again, but Shawn Mendes has clearly done it with ease. This is an incredible album, showcasing his talented singing and songwriting skills. Mental health is very important to talk about and I'm very glad he was able to make a record out of his experiences and open up about what he has been going through. I really enjoy the direction he is going in music-wise; he is able to encapsulate a wonderful combination of pop, country, folk, and alternative, as well as the other writers and producers that helped make Shawn .

  • Review: "Flowers Grow in the Saddest Parts" - Silver Lake

    Dutch duo Silver Lake newest single is introspective and touching, and details the inner turmoil behind helping a loved one in need but not allowing their depression to overtake your own mentality. “Flowers Grow in the Saddest Parts”, released November 15th, follows Silver Lake’ usual alternative-pop sound, with a whimsical touch. Throughout this track, singer Marleen Hoebe uses her light and melancholic vocals to plead some love into her counterpart, explaining that positives can come from even the darkest struggles (hence the title). However, while doing this, she begins to realize that this is negatively affecting her own mental health. She has to learn how to balance the two- being a helpful friend, while also putting her own necessities first. This dilemma is all too realistic; it is human nature to want to help those in need, but you must be careful not to let it become too much for yourself to handle. Written in collaboration by Hoebe and partner Jesse Koch, the lyrics in this track are straight to the point, while also tie in metaphors and fantastical elements. The song begins with Silver Lake’s mentality of being in their own head- that it's not really all that bad! However, we then lean into the chorus where it is clear that their counterpart does not agree. Hoebe sings, “All those years inside our own heads / So I intend to make it a nice place / A nice place to be / But your / Heavy heart is having me haunted / ‘Cause I forgot to let you in”. The chorus repeats two more times, with a verse in between that reverts back to Silver Lake’s mindset, with their typical whimsical charm. Marleen Hoebe and Jesse Koch are the names behind Silver Lake, and the creative minds behind their multiple singles and singular album. The duo has almost 3,000 monthly Spotify listeners, and their music is extremely raw and real. The two hail from Hague, Netherlands, and gained inspiration from the film “Under the Silver Lake” for their namesake. They are heavily influenced by music from the 60s and 70s, as well as Lana Del Rey, Warhaus, and Alexandra Savior. They recently were seen at various festival shows, and opened for Rufus Wainwright and Danny Vera at the Amsterdamse Bostheater this past summer.

The speaker of the song struggles with going out on a date, trapped by comparisons she makes to her ex.

  • EP Review: David Tucker

    Nashville, Tennessee based country-pop singer/songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist, David Tucker has released his long-awaited and highly anticipated self-titled debut EP. TRACKLIST Forgetting Her Water It Down Break It Too Useless What You Think About This Song Fighting Over Sheets David Tucker was born in Georgia but raised in Kentucky. He grew up in a highly musically inclined family who traveled around the country to perform in honor of their faith, in which David was able to learn several instruments from a very young age. He started his own band and grew a following in his home town before moving to Nashville in 2017. He started co-writing and producing for other artists before finally launching his own career in 2021 with his debut single, "Lyin". He was building momentum when it all suddenly came to a halt. David Tucker was diagnosed with a hindering autoimmune disease, and soon after, was involved in a tragic car accident that almost took his life. He was forced to put his music on hold while also struggling with addiction to pain medication and going through therapy - but not for forever. In 2023, David Tucker came back stronger and more ready than he has ever been before with single releases and music videos, gearing everyone up for what we have before us now, finally, his debut EP. Co-produced with long-time collaborator, Jake Saghi , David's self-titled EP features tracks that are vulnerable and unique. He's been through a lot of things, and he touches on subjects from his unconventional personal life experiences. Forgetting Her We kick off the EP with David's most recent single, "Forgetting Her" which was exclusively premiered by People (check it out here ). This song was written within 30-40 minutes, and just statistically speaking, some of the best songs in history are written this quickly. You can hear the amount of passion and heart that was put into this song. The emotion from the lyrics were just poured onto the paper in a pure stream of raw feeling. "Forgetting Her" is about realizing all the dumb little things you thought were annoying about your partner, you miss now that they are gone. You start thinking that maybe you let go of them too easily, and you wish you could go back - because now all those little dumb things are noticeably missing from your life and they're impossible to forget. "Forgetting Her" is a simply beautiful track with gentle guitar and orchestral strings. There's a cinematic, reverbed tone to the drums, as well as layers upon layers of vocal harmonies with David showing off his voice like never heard before. Water It Down Next, we have "Water It Down", which was David's first comeback single after his 2 year hiatus. Featuring a music video, "Water It Down" is about not letting anything hold you back from what your meant to do in life - not even almost dying. Between the struggle with addiction, getting diagnosed with a misunderstood autoimmune disease, and being involved in a life-threatening car accident, David Tucker knows what it's like to be close with death. This song is empowering for him, letting everyone know that he's no longer going to let those things control him anymore. He's going to fight back, and do what he loves most; make music. "Water It Down" is an anthemic song, with a stomp and clap beat, fiery electric guitar, country tones and banjo, and a haunting, yet inspiring atmosphere. David has a voice that sounds strong, smooth and in control; the type of tone that demands you to listen. Break It Too "Break It Too" is about being in love with someone who is leading you on. They know they don't have feelings for you back, but they enjoy the fact that you give them so much attention. The manipulation and mind games start to become to much, and you start to realize that no matter how hard you try, they're never going to have feelings for you. Yes, that hurts, but there's a point where you have to snap out of it and realize that you deserve better. David sings, "you can't have my heart and break it too". This song takes more of a nostalgic pop/rock approach in it's instrumentation and groove. It's very addictingly catchy, and perfect for radio. The heavy drums and down-stroke electric guitar rhythm will have you moving and wanting to sing along. Useless "Useless" is a sensual, haunting, dark pop BOP and a half about that crazy toxic ex I'm sure most people have to deal with at least once in their life. The one that you go in circles with; they cause a fight, blame it all on you, and somehow some way you end up back together. They beat you down with emotional abuse until you just can't take it anymore - and now, you're "the crazy one". David Tucker cleverly puts together the lyrics, "Maybe you wouldn't think I was so useless, if you'd have used less of me". Fair warning - this song will get stuck in your head. It has an ear-worm guitar riff and a nostalgic groove, with David singing a mixture of belting vocals and stunning falsetto. Between the melody and production, it was giving me Charlie Puth vibes in the best way. What You Think About This Song "What You Think About This Song" is a sweet love letter from a guy to a girl. The lyrics are pretty self explanatory, but they're friends and he's been too afraid to tell her how he really feels in fear that she doesn't feel the same. So, he wrote this song to help confess his feelings because if she loves it, he can get an idea of where to go next; but if she hates the song, he can play it off like it's not about them. The soundscape is very euphoric; it's a charming modern country love song that sweeps you off your feet. This is a song that us girls all wish someone would write for us. I highly suggest watching the music video for this one, as it's a fan favorite and tells the story very well. Fighting Over Sheets Closing out the EP is the focus track of this project, "Fight Over Sheets". With a Spanish inspired style, and a seductive and sexy groove, "Fighting Over Sheets" is about having a partner that ignites a fire in you unlike anyone else. You just can't keep your hands off of each other; every night with them feels like the very first, and your spark never fades. There's no place you'd rather be every night than at home with them, in bed, in the dark. The classical, finger-picked, acoustic Spanish-style guitar adds a romantic flare to the soundscape, along with a sensual rhythm and beat to get your body moving to the music. David adds a southern twang to the style with his signature smooth voice. Talk about a comeback. David Tucker isn't playing around with this new music. He's showing the world what he's got in full force. Down to every tiny detail, each song is perfectly crafted to grab your attention and pull you in deep. The lyricism has intriguing storytelling, and is written so cleverly. The words are vulnerable, honest and relatable. The soundscapes, melodies and production work are so ridiculously catchy, but they don't distract away from the lyrics. And of course, David's vocals; they are like butter. He sings so beautifully; it sounds effortless. You can hear the raw emotion and passion in his voice, and that's what makes a truly great artist. I personally can't imagine what it felt like to go through the things that David did, but to take that energy and turn it into something positive with this incredible art is really something to be proud of. All of these songs deserve a lot more attention than they're getting, so make sure to stream them all over again and follow David below to see what is yet to come!

  • Review: "are we really over?" - Lunar June

    Sometimes the simple things in life may help in granting peace to the longing for that one person we just can't get out of our heads. Other times, it seems like no matter what, that person is here to stay, stuck in our thoughts, whether we like it or not. Then that question we dread crosses our thoughts... Are we really over? What had once broken our hearts is now the strongest thing holding it together, because we can't help but feel the love they gave us is stuck to us no matter what we do to try to escape it. Lunar June expresses the pain of yearning for that someone who we are trying to leave behind and move on from, though we can't help but question whether things are really over. Even as time goes on, those memories are here to stay in our hearts and heads, and the experiences will be learned from, so is it ever really over? Lunar June opens the song with an upbeat, electric tone while harmonizing with soft vocals. From the moment Lunar June starts singing, the emotions can be heard through the energetic melody of the song as June questions why this one person can't leave their head no matter what they do. The beat of the drums add to the upbeat, fun melody in the opening verse and slows at the end where June's tone sounds determined and sincere in her hopes of seeing that someone again. The chorus explodes into a lively and impactful melody as June continues to express her doubt on whether the relationship is truly over. She asks over and over again, expressing the feeling of not being ready to let that person go and having to make sure it's really over when it doesn't even feel real. Lunar June continues to express how that someone continues to live on in her memories, and she can't let go of that love in all her efforts.

  • Review: "Moodswings" - Clara Malby

    Sometimes, our words get the best of us, and we open ourselves up without thinking. People usually open up when they feel comfortable with the person they are sharing the information with. “Moodswings” by Clara Malby goes through this rollercoaster of emotions. On this ride, the buildup is sharing personal secrets. The point of the coaster that shoots you right down the track is when you wake up the next day and start to wonder if the decision to be vulnerable was a good choice or not. People only know what you tell them, or what they assume to be the truth. When you willingly share anything, you become powerless over the narrative. Secrets are sacred and should only be told to those trustworthy because you never want a secret to get into the wrong hands. Clara sings about wishing someone can bring her back down from the clouds, which I interpret as she wishes someone would bring her back down to reality and snap her out of her daydream. It is important to be cautious because not everyone's intentions are always pure and have your best interest at heart. Clara hates the sound of silence and wants to fill it out, she wants to stop overthinking about what could potentially go wrong or what everyone now thinks of her. “Moodswings” by Clara Malby takes us through the journey of complex emotions and how fast these emotions can affect us. You can be at a high and feed off of other people's interest and curiosity in your life to open up, but then grow anxious and doubtful once the conversation is over. The song opens up with a beautiful acoustic guitar track that serves as the instrumental foundation. Produced by Simon Vågbratt, the track has additional layers that make it whimsical. Every decision made during the production process was the right call because each decision made the song even better. Around halfway, the production started to pick up so you can hear a more prominent kick drum. Clara’s voice is soft but also powerful. Her tone is very pretty and when she sings in a higher register, it blends perfectly with the reverb and time-based effects used in the final production mix. This song would also sound beautiful with just Clara and an acoustic guitar, which is the recipe for a hit.  Clara Malby is a Swedish artist. She has been releasing music since 2022, and currently only has three published releases. Her 2024 single “Certain death” has 12,990 streams on Spotify and “Moodswings” is getting more streams by the day. She also has 3,741 monthly listeners on the platform. Her songs are on Spotify playlists such as New Music Friday Sweden, Indie Caviar, Uplifting Indie Pop, and Indie Adventure to name a few. She has yet to release an album, but I’ll be waiting for that day! If there’s one mood to be in when listening to Clara, it’s happy. Check out “Moodswings” and give it a listen!
