NIGHT TRAVELER’S “Love Nobody Else” is a nostalgic late night drive and the feeling of heartache rolled into one. This band’s newest single is sure to resonate with anyone whose had their heart broken before. A particularly clever lyric states, “Storming in my head, staring at my phone.” As you can see, there is a raw vulnerability shown throughout this entire single, however the dichotomy of this line really emphasizes our outside actions could not be representative of all that we are feeling in our heads. It also speaks to a moment he was desperately searching for closure, only to feel the relationship is a losing battle. “Love Nobody Else” manages to paint a picture of two lovers spiraling, and its repetition of lines such as “everything takes me there” portrays someone who is haunted by the memories of a past love affair. Overall, the song is wonderfully executed; and if you have any lingering love for one of your exes, you’ll find something special to hold onto in “Love Nobody Else.” One word comes to mind when attempting to describe this song: nostalgic. The chosen texture of the instrumentals as well as its main vocals are layered with an 80's influenced flair. The guitar stands out in a way that feels equally as emotional as the heartbreaking lyrics. This not only speaks to the talent of the production on "Love Nobody Else" but also to the musicians. The tone of the song manages to still feel romantic (although its lyrics speak of a couple in despair) the Indie rock genre is conducive to accomplishing many a feeling at once. Above all else, "Love Nobody Else" feels sentimental. NIGHT TRAVELER is an amazingly talented Austin-based band encompassed of Adam Fischer and Hunter Glaske. They emerged onto the scene in 2018 with the single "1984". Since then, they have accumulated an impressive 88,573 monthly Spotify listeners as well as nearly 100k Youtube subscribers.

Pop artist Kai Bosch has ended the summer on a sweet, sensational note with the release of the new, club-perfect, “Everything Is Beautiful”. From the very start of “Everything Is Beautiful”, you feel as though you’re being taken on a roller coaster ride that you don’t want to get off. The introduction brings traits of pop and dance together that transition and branch off into other genres as the song unwinds. Once Bosch’s voice is introduced, the backing elements die down and allows his voice to shine alongside a catchy, dance-inducing mix of beats. At this point, I found myself hooked on the sound of the song and straying away from analyzation of the lyrics. The track is so explosive and complex that I found it difficult to walk away from bobbing my head to it, causing me to return to the introduction. Once I’d returned, I was pleasantly surprised to find layered lyricism that is both upbeat and meaningful. Although “Everything Is Beautiful” may rope you in with its sound, the meaning behind the song enhances the experience of interacting with it. Within the lyrics, Bosch dives into his feelings and enjoyment in being romantically linked with the subject of the song. He compares their blue eyes to swimming pools, both a clever and classic reference to falling in love, while going on to explain that everything is beautiful with them. Similar to this reference, there are several times where the phrase “Everything was lost, until I found you” is mentioned. Not only does it play into the narrative of the deep romance happening within the song, but these feelings are additionally explored through the overall sound of “Everything Is Beautiful”. As Bosch dives deeper into these feelings, seemingly confessing his feelings for this person, the tone of the song shifts. While there may be the exact same lyrics used as before, or may have been slightly changed to match that part of the song more, Bosch utilizes them in the best way possible. This allows not only for understandable, enthralling storytelling but also showcases his ability to connect the tone of the lyrics to the tone of the song’s overall sound.   Kai Bosch is a 21-year-old artist from Cornwall, England. At age thirteen, Bosch began his musical journey by creating piano covers of music from artists like Lana Del Rey and Lorde. In the following years, living as a gay teenager, Bosch poured his heart into his writing and confided within it. Within these teenage years, upon returning from a family trip to France, Bosch unveiled his music to his family – who were both moved by and encouraging of his music. By 2017, Bosch made his music journey public and began to share his personal life out in the open. Now, he has over 270,000 people listening to his music online, has interviewed with GAY TIMES, gathered attention from Radio 1 and BBC Introducing, and continues to release music that blends thought-provoking lyrics with a multitude of upbeat, exciting sounds.   Written By Madison Spies FOLLOW KAI BOSCH: Instagram | Spotify  | Facebook  | YouTube

“fragile” describes a self-reflective journey of overcoming negative words from others and taking pride in your emotions and yourself. In the face of cruel and harsh words from others, it is almost natural to internalize what they say. Every instance of them taking advantage of your fragile nature feels violating and interpersonal. Personal growth begins with yourself and finally taking control of your life. However, their harsh words remain and follow you everywhere. What these cruel people are unwilling to accept and understand is that your newfound emotional freedom makes you reclaim aspects of yourself that they see as pathetic. Your emotional capabilities and soft nature are seen as weak and as fragile as glass. Details about yourself you once despised have become sources of personal pride. You have learned to look inward and love qualities that are looked down upon by others. It has never been easier to have confidence and self-assurance while those that hurt you wallow in insecurity. Click here to listen to "fragile"! “fragile” is an adult contemporary piece that contrasts sweet yet simple instrumentation with complex and intricate vocals. We begin with a lone piano laying out simple chords. Vocals are introduced with note changes and harmonies that increase with each verse. Slowly, strings and other various soft instrumentation gradually develops in the background. The first chorus incorporates stronger and more elaborate harmonies that are belted briefly at the beginning and end of each line. The instrumentation and vocals work in tandem to slip in and out of the intense emotional narrative. Each element works to bring everything together in a contrasting yet complimentary experience.

Photo Credits: @sophiep0wers via X Enter the digital escape that is the world of Sophie Powers, an artist who is true to themselves and creates a one-of-a-kind experience for her fans. The young artist recently set out on her first headline tour and the first stop was a sold-out show at the Moroccan Lounge in Los Angeles. The entire night was a hyper-pop delight, and Powers certainly put on a great show. Not only was Sophie Powers spectacular that night, but openers Ava Morse and Zoe Ko were fierce and knew how to warm up a crowd. The first show of a tour is always the most exciting because you don’t know what to expect, but Sophie Powers definitely hit the mark with this performance and the whole night was so lively. The Moroccan Lounge has such a nice and dark ambiance when you first enter, it’s a classic venue that’s perfect to start off your first headline tour. As previously mentioned, openers Ava Morse and Zoe Ko were a great start to the night, both with great stage presence. Before entering the stage, Powers has an opening sequence play that makes audiences feel as if they are entering a video game, allowing fans to choose what character to play as. It’s a cool way to start the show and so true to Powers’ style. Speaking of style, not only is Powers a performer, but she is also a designer. For all the videos she posts and shows she does, she designs her own outfits that make her look like she just came out of a comic book. Her aesthetic is very defined and that’s such a cool thing to see in an artist. Additionally, during some of her performances of the night, we got to see background dancers on stage which only enhanced Sophie Powers’ main character aura. Throughout the show, fans got to jam out to some of Sophie Powers' hits. “Bathroom Floor” is a fun fast-paced track that certainly had fans hyped to hear live. “Obsessed” is another great hit that had a mosh pit growing in the audience, only making the experience more entertaining. Powers’ cover of Taylor Swift’s “Wildest Dreams” is such a hyped version of the original and her bringing an audience member to the stage to serenade them in the last half of the song was a nice touch. “Woah!!” is another fun one to experience in real life and also had the crowd forming pits and jumping consistently. Her cover of Nirvana’s “Heart-Shaped Box” was highlighted because it’s a track that people who may be unfamiliar with Powers’ music in the crowd to sing along to. A personal favorite moment of mine during the show was getting to hear “Awesome” live as that is my favorite song by Sophie Powers. She finished off her show with “Greed” which was an excellent choice as that song is so easy to just completely rock out to. After the show, Sophie Powers stayed at the merch table saying hi and taking pictures with fans until the venue kicked everyone out, and then she continued to take pictures with fans outside. It’s nice to see a young artist be so happy to interact with her fans. What Sophie Powers has done so well is she has created her own world that brings life to her music from multiple dimensions. Her online persona shows how dedicated she is to this work and how much she is willing to give to become the artist she is. She certainly is growing high, and one can only expect her to create bigger and better things from now on. Her Los Angeles show was a great start to the tour and defined what the rest of the tour would look like, an energetic experience that feels like you’re living in a video game. If you ever get the chance to go to a Sophie Powers show, do not miss it, it’s so worth your time to be surrounded by people who know how to let loose and completely themselves.

Drew Schueler’s latest release, “Hurtable”, focuses on the fears and freedoms of finding vulnerability.  The majority of the lyrics are centered around how terrified Schueler has found himself, how easily he can be hurt in this relationship, and yet it comes off as a love song.  Because, this fear is only the product of a high risk high reward situation.  He can be hurt because he so suddenly has everything to lose.  If the relationship means nothing to lose, it means nothing at all, Schueler explores the beauty of weakness and compares the height of it to the height of love. He skillfully compares fear and love and clarifies their consistently going hand in hand. Drew immediately introduces the song with a method of storytelling, setting the exact scene for this realization before describing the feelings themselves and, therefore, allowing the listener to fully place themselves in his shoes.  Each line expressing his affections is immediately counteracted, or by his perspective- reaffirmed, with a line expressing his fear or hurt.  His heartfelt vocals as well as the careful placement of powerful instrumentals make this comparison and the song as a whole increasingly impactful.  Even his use of silence is staggering, with pauses in his instrumentals, leaving his voice alone, being some of the hardest hitting portions of the piece.   Drew Schueler is a rising singer and songwriter currently based in Nashville, the center of such fields.  Each piece Schueler releases differs and surprises his audience while retaining the pieces which make it so valuable.  He maintains his pop focused genre, and his skillful lyricism in everything he produces.  This consistency has gained him an audience over the years, with over 24k listeners found on his Spotify to date since his first release “Open Water” in 2018.  This consistency, found only from hard work, has earned him his audience as well as recognition, being the recent winner of the NSAI Song Contest.   Written By Hailey Schap FOLLOW DREW SCHUELER: Instagram | Spotify  | TikTok   | YouTube

Caleb Hearn uses his new song "Warm Body" to tug at our heartstrings. He gives us a piece that allows us to understand love in a deeper sense. While listening to the song, it was very clear that the point was to invoke deep thought and personal connection to relationships and how scary it is to love someone. A prime example of this is within the chorus when it says, "It either never starts / Or it always ends / It either breaks your heart / Or it's gone too quick / It is what it is / Over again and again." These lyrics do a fantastic job of describing what it's like to love someone so deeply that it becomes scary to think about. Lyrics that show up later in the song present us with the feeling of hesitation, too, due to not wanting to get hurt again, the lyrics say, "So what's the point if either choice is going to kill me / Could I just find a warm body to lie here with me / And I won't care and she won't care / Maybe that's better / Then I could spare my heart by thinking with my head first." The song begins in a very upbeat manner and maintains this energy throughout, making it relatable and easy to follow along with. The acoustic guitar is the glue that holds the song together. The guitar creates a steady and constant flow. When paired with the sound of the guitar, the drums solidify the song and creates a sturdy flow which helps the lyrics tie the whole piece together. The lyrics and the artists voice fuel the song and give it that powerful feel which hits us as the listener in a deep way it doesn't matter where you're at in life you feel the impact the song has on you, and you feel it because it's relatable. Caleb Hearn snuck up on us in the best way possible. Hearn, who is originally from Mount Airy, North Carolina, emerged after his song "Always Be" resonated with a community of people on TikTok. Since then, he has gained a total of 1.5 million TikTok followers and has also collaborated with artists like Jillian Rossi, Haywood, and Sad Alex. Hearn also earned praise on the song "under the weather" with Jillian Rossi. Among those that spoke about it were Lyrical Lemonade, Mud, and EARMILK they deemed the song as "An important and affecting release." When asked about the song "Warm Body" Hearn said, "This was the last song we decided to put on the project. We needed some energy and this song makes me want to roll the windows down and drive. It just feels so warm but also holds such a meaningful concept. Being afraid of love is so real, and it's scary, I've been there. I just wanted to be able to touch on that subject in a lighter manner, and I really wanted a song with a guitar solo." Caleb Hearn did a fantastic job of bringing the subject to light in a way that was relatable and heartfelt. Watch out for Hearn because he is undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with.

Catlea's latest single, Crumbling , thematically harps on the subjects of self-discovery and pertinacity – with the budding star declaring "To those who are lost: we can always find ourselves again, no matter how many times we may crumble". The track features a delicate touch of piano from Nick Tsang, known for his previous work with Ed Sheeran, Lewis Capaldi, and The Script, acting as a musical catalyst that brings the most out of Catlea's vocals and emotive creativity on this track. Their eclectic style demonstrates the parallels of emotional vulnerability and playfulness, drawing listeners in with a fun take on some of life's deeper topics. Crumbling is a vocal dance banger with a classic four-on-the-floor drumbeat, perfectly fit for any club scene. There is a lush atmosphere surrounding the intricately layered synths heard throughout, with plenty of space for Catlea's vocals to justifiably shine through. The inclusion of a dark piano track adds a nice contrast to the more angelic, breathy vocals – while the acoustic guitar, an element not often heard in dance music, serves to deepen the complexity of this tune's instrumentation. During the hooks, there is a flavor of acoustic strumming that adds a refreshingly organic touch of artistry to this track – further elevating the level of artistry attached to Crumbling and making it a single worth listening to at max volume. The pride of Cincinatti, Catlea, is an immensely talented singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist recording out of PLAY Audio while working closely with Jason Boshoff at Room to Studios in Barcelona, Spain.

Finding out you're someone's second choice is a hard pill to swallow, leaving you with a plethora of strong emotions that are difficult to navigate. It leaves you wondering whether you'll ever be their first choice or why you're not good enough for them. SLAJER captures this pain and frustration in his addictive new single, "side bitch." The track is a vulnerable LGBTQ+ alt-pop banger, telling the story of SLAJER breaking his back to please someone who will never reciprocate or appreciate the effort. "side bitch" gives listeners a raw look into the singer's psyche, shedding light on what it's like to care for someone who only takes but never gives. Mysterious and moody, "side bitch" is a genre-bending masterpiece as SLAJER blends elements of dark-pop, electronica, alt-pop, alt-rock, and pop-punk. The intoxicating track is cathartic as SLAJER's arresting vocals release his pent-up frustration over being an option for someone rather than their first choice. SLAJER is accompanied by a brooding, aggressive soundscape comprised of heavy synths, infectious dance beats, and face-melting guitar riffs. Channeling some inspiration from pop icons, "side bitch" is perfect for fans of Adam Lambert , Billie Eilish , Olivia Rodrigo , and Troye Sivan . Performing under the name SLAJER, Jon Slajer is a singer-songwriter based in the U.S. known for his powerhouse vocals and dance-influenced production. He got his start in the entertainment industry as a dancer, appearing in several short films and as a background dancer for BTS in L.A. on their "Permission to Dance" tour. Slajer recently pivoted and launched his career in the music industry, debuting with the single "how many guys" in 2023. The release has notably garnered over 500K streams since then, leading the artist to celebrate with a West Coast headlining tour.

Indie Folk Singer/Songwriter, Multi-Instrumentalist and Producer from Melbourne, Australia, Hayden Calnin has just released his EP, "All Kinds Of Light", inspired by the culture and scenery he experienced during a three week trip to Colombia in South America back in 2023. TRACKLIST Greetings at Majuy Majuy  All These Kinds Of Light  As Above, So Below La Peña de Juaica  Lake Tota   Mornings in Tabio Mornings in Tabio II Hayden Calnin has spent much of his career writing and producing for others, most notably being the co-writer of "Falling Up" by Dean Lewis and having songs featured on hit TV shows like The Good Doctor , The Vampire Diaries , and So You Think You Can Dance . However, he has such an incredible discography as a solo artist, and a unique, individual sound that you wouldn't be able to find anywhere else. He first broke through in 2012 with his debut EP, "City", which featured his fan favorite song, "For My Help". For these past 12 years, Hayden has been consistently releasing his own music, working with other artists, and performing on stage. "All Kinds of Light" adds on to his already impressive and diverse discography, introducing his listeners to a new ethereal experience that helps you visualize the beautiful sights of Colombia. Greetings at Majuy We kick off the EP with "Greetings at Majuy". Majuy is a mountain in the Andes mountain region in Colombia. This track is a cenematic, orchestral / choral type of experience that I wish could be better explained through words. Honestly, when I began listening to this, I was taken aback by how beautiful it was and I just had to close my eyes and enjoy what I was experiencing. It started out with a gorgeous variety of strings and a heavy drum. You can imagine a drone camera flying over these Colombian mountains that Hayden was so inspired by. This track felt like an introduction to what was about to be an incredible, action and drama filled Oscar -winning movie. As the song went on, in came the choral vocals and the cathartic feeling I had in my chest was so intense. It's been a while since I've heard something so beautiful created in this modern age. Talk about a introduction; I can't wait to hear what else is next. Majuy  Coming right after "Greetings at Majuy", we connect right into the lead single and track two, "Majuy". Released 4 months ago in anticipation for this EP, "Majuy" sets the scene for what was to come for Hayden's life changing experience in Colombia. He sings, "reset and I've lost all worry". This song gives the impression that once Hayden was in the calming, beautiful atmosphere of the Andes mountains, all of his stress just faded away. He was able to start fresh with a clear mind, and begin a spiritual journey. This song has a stomping rhythm with layered vocals, it was a bit reminiscent of Imagine Dragons for me; however, although it's completely it's own unique song, you can still hear some Easter eggs and connections to "Greetings at Majuy" blended within the soundscape. Funny enough too, within the music video below, there is in fact a drone camera flying over the Majuy mountain just as I imagined while I was listening to "Greetings at Majuy". All These Kinds Of Light  Resting at track number three is the title track, "All These Kinds of Light" which was also released as the third single in anticipation for the EP release. This song sounds like what glowing, gleaming, shining and sparkling lights look like, if you know what I mean. The varieties of guitar and bright strings as the song builds with drums, bass and piano, brings a visual to exactly what the song is about - a celebration of the beauty of light. Hayden describes this track as a summary for what the EP is for, which explains why he made it the title track. As Above, So Below "As Above, So Below" references the ancient spiritual saying that reminds us that everything between us and the divine are connected. This song follows Hayden in his spiritual journey and his newfound open-mindedness when it comes to magical things. “I'm converting from this very science-backed brain to quite the opposite and becoming a believer in magical things. I’m not just relying on physics to explain it all. It's all about how adopting this new perspective has shaped the way I’m thinking.” - Hayden . "As Above, So Below" was released as the fourth single before the EP release and features a very Bon Iver -esque folk soundscape with piano, strings and layers of raw, emotional harmonies and vocals. La Peña de Juaica  "La Peña de Juaica" is another mountain range that rests near Majuy in Colombia. This track is an instrumental interlude, a little break in the EP if you will. Very similar to "Greetings at Majuy", it's a stunning, orchestral, heavenly experience that makes you feel like you're floating outside of your body. This one features gentle piano, woodwinds, strings and more of those sparkling windchimes. It's supposed to sound like what looking at these mountains felt like to Hayden. Have you ever heard something so beautiful that you just can't help but cry? This is one of those songs, so make sure to grab a box of tissues before you press play. Lake Tota   Next we have "Late Tota", the second single release for this EP. Lake Tota is the largest lake in Colombia, and while visiting, Hayden was highly inspired by its beauty. “It's a majestic part of the country. The way the light goes through the trees and reflects on the water, and the sunsets and sunrises, it all just felt different. I couldn't put my finger on why. It very much inspired the song because I was so drawn to the way the light was.” - Hayden . It's another stunning folk song, filled with acoustic guitar, strings and piano. It takes a chanting approach in it's hook with clapping which makes you want to join right in. Towards the end, it has a gorgeous break down that makes it feel almost like a brand new song and brings a whole new emotion. Mornings in Tabio Considered a focus track, "Mornings in Tabio" just recently got it's own lyric video after the EP dropped! Tabio is a little mountain town in Colombia, which is where I imagine is one of the places Hayden must've stayed during his incredible trip. Listening to "Mornings in Tabio", this is what it must've been like waking up everyday for Hayden while he was there. You can tell just how much he needed this getaway, and how much it impacted him and changed his outlook on life. We all need a little time away from our everyday lives and this time was extra special for Hayden - what sets him apart from the common person though, is he knows how to take these experiences and he turns them into beautiful sounds and songs. Featuring a bit of that "stomp clap" type of folk groove and springy acoustic guitar, this song feels like a taking in a breath of fresh air. Mornings in Tabio II "Mornings in Tabio II" is literally a continuation of "Mornings in Tabio". It's an extension, taking the song to a whole new, spiritual type of level. About half way through, it switches into an orchestral type of instrumentation, ending the EP in the same way it started; except this time, you feel left a little bit haunted because you know that Hayden never wanted this incredible experience to end. It is such a beautiful thing how nature not only can inspire human-beings, but heal us in a way that we may never understand. Hayden Calnin's trip to the Colombian mountain's sparked something inside of him that helped him create this incredible work of art that we now know as the "All Kinds Of Light" EP. There are no words to describe how powerful and divine the music on this EP is, you just simply have to listen. Hayden Calnin has always been an incredibly talented artist, but I think he just took a step into a whole new realm of something that can take him on a journey towards things that are beyond greatness. It truly is a magical feeling to listen to "All Kinds of Light", and I can't wait to hear what comes next. Make sure to follow Hayden below to keep up!

Evalina knows all too well the feeling of being led on, and with one listen to her new single “Be Your Friend”, you will too. Her lyricism depicts the scene perfectly, and the disappointed feelings you are left with in the fall out. Based on a true story for Evalina, the track follows her path of heartbreak after learning that her romantic feelings were not reciprocated. The heartbreak gradually turns into anger and frustration, both at her potential partner and at herself, for not realizing the platonic meaning behind their friendship. Her emotions shine through in her intense vocals, both in the words themselves and in the vocalizations behind the chorus. She also allows herself to riff around at the end of the outro, signifying her irritation at the entire scenario. The title shines through in the chorus, when she tells her almost-partner that she does not want to be his friend - she wanted to be more. The opening verse sets the scene right away, and has lyrics that tell the situation for exactly what it is. Evalina sings, “I don’t have a word for what you are / ‘Cause you’re not my ex not even a friend, well not anymore / And I don’t have the right to a broken heart / Don’t mean it doesn't hurt / hurt just as much, maybe more”. She scolds herself for feeling this way, and yet acknowledges the fact that she is in pain. My personal favorite lyric is sung in the second verse: “Can’t even be mad with you ‘cause you were never mine / But surely you knew that I was yours / And I still care”. This line is so simple and yet so hard hitting. She wants to give him the benefit of the doubt for not knowing the pain he is causing her, but deep down she knows that he was aware of her feelings and the way they would leave her scarred. Evalina is no stranger to the British music industry, being a constant on BBC Music Introducing and having every single release of hers named Record of the Day. She has over 36k monthly Spotify streamers, with multiple singles released. Her most listened to track is “Know Better”, which has almost 8 million listens. Despite the fact that her songs deal with personal issues and real emotions, her sound is pop and upbeat, giving a similar vibe to Tate McRae’s music: feminine and electronic, while discussing a heartfelt issue. Make sure to follow the social medias below to stay tuned for more music from Evalina. Written By Tessa Maddaloni FOLLOW EVALINA: Instagram | Spotify  | TikTok  | Facebook  | YouTube

The fantastic GRAVA brings us a scornful tune with a playful twist in her new single, "Petty Drama". We've all dealt with troublemakers in our lives: the type of people who just can't let things go, those who love to start rumors, the types who make a mountain out of a molehill. It can be so exhausting! "Petty Drama" comes from the perspective of someone who is beyond done dealing with childish games. It's a loud response, calling all those drama queens and kings out on their nonsense. GRAVA further emphasizes her point by taking every shot she can back at the antagonist, and it is truly a delightful ride. Listen to "Petty Drama" on Spotify now!! "Petty Drama" uses some of the most creative production to follow up its edgy lyrics. The entire track contains themes of a play or circus, adding to the idea that the person GRAVA is speaking to is a clown, which is hilarious honestly. It mixes in typical pop instruments like electric guitar and synth, making for an upbeat vibe. It's giving 2000s girl power vibes and I am so here for it. I can definitely see my previous teenage self playing this on repeat on my old iPod nano. It's highly reminiscent of songs by strong female artists like Pink, Skye Sweetnam, and Olivia Rodrigo. Nashville, TN-based pop artist, GRAVA grew up with a passion for music. Having released her first song when she was just 10 years old, GRAVA has had a long time to practice her craft. She has become a multi-instrumentalist specializing in piano, guitar, and vocals. GRAVA has made a name for herself with her edgy and villainous writing style, setting her music aside from the typical bubblegum pop scene. She's always been an incredible storyteller, with her early releases being just as captivating as the current ones. If you haven't explored her discography yet, there's some really great stuff in there! Show GRAVA some love and listen to "Petty Drama" on your favorite streaming service!

Ricky40 expresses the hardships and heartbreak that came following a past breakup on his song "Hungover You", and how much it affected him. Using drugs as a suppressant, he felt as though it was the only way he could stop thinking about his past relationship. When this did not work, he continued to drink alcohol so he could try to forget what happened, but was still unable to. The title of Ricky40's newest song is a double entendre, and defines the central theme; not only is he missing the person he used to be with, but he is also drinking to cope with these persistent feelings. Ricky40 battled addiction for years, and has said he feels lucky to still be alive. Even though he had struggled through this very dark time in his life, he see's this song as a positive thing to come out of the situation. He hopes others can relate to "Hungover You" and is doing a lot better now. "Hungover You" sonically mixes the aesthetics of space and summer into one track. During the verses, underneath a classic and catchy beat, an assortment of sound effects made from synths that are resembling of a spaceship are slightly reverberated to make you feel like you are floating through the galaxy while you are listening to the song, using the pop genre and mixing it with some psychedelic influences. During the chorus, catchy guitar strings are introduced to the song before the beat picks up. Ricky40 provides harmonies throughout the song, which shows his amazing voice and wide vocal range. It is without a doubt that San Francisco native Ricky40 is a star in the making. With a song like "Hungover You", it's no surprise he released another great song previous to this, "Ugly", in April 2024. He has worked with Dave Tozer after deciding to make music, moving to Los Angeles to do so. On "Hungover You", Ricky40 opened up about his struggles with addiction, and plans on making more songs about what he has gone through in hopes he can reach out to others who have gone through similar experiences. It will be no surprise if Ricky40's music suddenly blows up in the near future. Written By Ashley Adams FOLLOW RICKY40: Instagram | Spotify  | TikTok  | Apple Music  | YouTube
