Lucy Deakin’s new song, Solar Eclipse, is an alternative/electro pop song about wanting to be in a better place after the end of a relationship. After a breakup, we need space and time to heal. This is already difficult to deal with on our own. It becomes more difficult when the person is still very present in our lives. The only way to truly move on is for your past lover to completely remove themselves from your life. Once they do that, you can get on with the healing process and reach that better place which just so happens to be sunny like a solar eclipse. Solar Eclipse is led by rhythmic drumming and distinctive vocals. In the first half of the chorus, she expresses “I’ll be in a better place. Gonna make my sweet escape. Don’t call me up. Don’t call me.” In the second half of the chorus, she’s shouting lyrics that reflect feelings of liberation. “Want, want what I want. Thinking I’m done calling it quits. Done calling it sunny but it is a solar eclipse.” I love the summer vibe and aesthetic. The song reminds me of Charli XCX who I am a fan of. If you’re not ready to embrace fall yet, you can still enjoy summer by listening to this fun song. Lucy Deakin is a singer-songwriter born and raised in Stoke-on-Trent, England, but is influenced by Los Angeles, California, and based in London, England. So far in her young career, she has amassed over one million views on TikTok, a Top 25 single on iTunes, support from BBC Radio 1, and been named an Essential Emerging Artist by NME. She has collaborated with many artists including McFly , Dylan Nash , and Becky Hill . Also, she is one of the original members of LOUD LDN , a female and non-binary alternative pop group.

A situationship is not for the weak. Especially when you need clarification and they just simply won’t tell you. Well, do I have the song for you! Jordan Anthony’s newest single, “Tell Me”, tells all about this and more! His vocals tell listeners of the struggles of dealing with someone who won’t open up. He speaks on the track as well, saying that it captures that feeling of “wanting so badly to be with someone and knowing they want it too, but they’re holding back”. In my opinion, it’s super frustrating to have no clarity, where all you want to say is TELL ME! Which is exactly where the idea came from with Jordan Anthony in this amazing song. The song starts off with a lovely acoustic guitar, which adds the heartfelt vibe. His vocals are the star of the show though! His range is explosive! They are raw and up front, very limited reverb giving it an original feel. Back to the instrumental though, the drums rolls with the progression of the song, leading perfectly in the chorus and creating suspense throughout the second verse. The drums the get very punctual in the outro, creating more room for his vocals to shine. The background vox also adds a nice touch, wrapping this whole song into a lovely, down-to-earth story. Jordan Anthony is singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist hailing from Perth, Australia. His passion for songwriting stems as early as 7-years-old, and his piano lessons at 5-years-old allowed him to arrange and compose his own music. Jordan never stopped hustling since, and he has made his face known around the world! His relentless dedication brought him to perform for Australia’s The Voice in 2019, and even made it to Top 4! He also represented his country at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest , where he placed Top 10 globally. He has also headlined three times at Perth’s One Big Voice Festival , spoke at TEDxPerth, and released a debut single that gained even more worldwide attention. In 2024, he performed at American Idol and placed Top 14, which encouraged this rising pop-star to relocate to Los Angeles.

"Common Denominator," describes a person who plays the victim, but in reality turns out to be the problem. Geneviève Racette paints the behavior of someone like this in a crystal clear manner. Personally, I felt like she hit the nail on the head with her accurate descriptions and personal stories that prompted her to write this piece. One of my favorite lines says, "You're so surprised / Yeah you did nothing to deserve this / You put the blame on her over and over / Baby for what it's worth when I look closer / You're the common denominator."

There's a strong line towards the end that drips of emotion from the artist, it says, "I found some photos in your dresser / you were smiling with some old friends / I asked you why I hadn't met them you got angry and then you said / Some bridges just have to be burned." We're given a song that provides a strong yet vulnerable tone. The artist is making herself vulnerable by sharing her experience, but she wants to do it anyway in order to bring the actions to light. Because of the strong tone it sparks a reflective and sincere mood. We know that the artist means everything that she is saying when it comes to reflecting on behavior of the other party involved in the situation. When it comes to the instrumentation we can easily pick out some of the familiar sounds that pop artists typically use. We hear drums, piano, and even a small amount of bass. Howver, we also get the indie-folk vibe from Geneviève Racette's voice. The vocals bring us a smooth, swinging tang.

From the beginning of “BETTER LoVE” to its end, Bermuda Search Party plays into the absolute fun and joy the song emits. Although this song is directed toward a former lover, the overall message to them through this track is nothing but pleasant, upbeat, and kind. Despite the track detailing feelings of loss, confusion, and hurt from the protagonist’s point of view, Bermuda Search Party reiterates both in their sound and lyricism that they’re here to instill good vibes only. “BETTER LoVE” may not appear as a love song at first, but the message is one of pure acceptance of this person, the situation at hand, and the connection shared between these two people.

This playful musicality adds an element to the story that draws in a mature, well-rounded perspective that benefits both the positive imagery given off by Bermuda Search Party as well as listeners looking for a layered listening experience.

There’s so much joy to be found in letting go of pain you never deserved. EMME created this song as a message to never let anyone drag you down to their level. Be the bigger person.

Photography: @ janos.glk "boys" is the newest single from youcallmecarla, a song about what the multitalented artist looks for in a partner, and how, based on how they usually act, does not want most men. She describes them as aggressive, obnoxious, and acting as if they have all the power, but when it comes to want she wants, she sings about how she prefers a man who does not possess these traits. She does not want a typical relationship, as she just wants to be with someone without any strings attached so she does not have to deal with how men often become once a romantic relationship begins or progresses over time. "boys" is a takedown on misogynists, who are immature and disrespectful when it comes to being in relationships. The production style of "boys" is like if nostalgia and avant-garde came together to make a song. While you listen, you hear different eras of pop, either in their own solos or simultaneously. The song begins with just synths that sound like futuristic wind chimes in a fall breeze. As the beat enters, those iconic vibes of that 2010s easy listening and pop fusion start to flow into the soundscape. When the chorus hits, it sounds like the early 2020s hyperpop genre that could bring you back to any festival or rave you may have attended. Then, the addition of electric guitar chords makes "boys" a distinct and one-of-a-kind song, especially with youcallmecarla's amazing vocals. youcallmecarla grew up in Germany with the goals in mind to become the singer, songwriter, and musician she is today. In April 2021, she released her debut single "another lack". In March 2024, she released her debut EP Selfish Years . She has also released other amazing music in addition to her debuts and "boys", including but not limited to "the pretty girl", "House in the Suburbs", and "love of your life", which has nearly 200,000 listens on Spotify. Its without a doubt that she is an incredible artist, as she is headed towards stardom with her sensational music.

Another banger from Felin! "Favorite Toy" is nothing short of a loud outburst of energy from the very second the song starts. The musicality of the song really give off "ride or die" vibes meaning this is the song you and your bestie would be blasting once they distance themselves from a person that is toxic. The structure of the song is fun yet simple, but you can feel how fun this must've been to create for Felin. The lyrics of the song really captures a unique point of view that I'll dive into which it seems to be Felin's specialty. Being able to make an entertaining song, that feels historic and one that speaks to so many people is a skill. The point of view that Felin went with on this song was the idea of taking negative, toxic talk and making a whole song out of it. Felin mentions how this song is meant to preach taking your power back when people are saying you can't do something. Felin is no stranger to this sort of critique but wanted to capture what they went through. There's no reason we have to treat each other that way and this song proves what can come out of something so hateful. My favorite line from the song is in the chorus when they say how these people need to get a life instead of wasting theirs, and I cannot agree more. Elin Blom, also known professionally as Felin, is a singer songwriter from Sweden who is breaking their way through the music industry one single at a time. They're known for their pop-punk, anthems that have touched on subjects ranging from equality and feminism all through songs that make you feel like you can do anything. Felin has worked with amazing artists in the past like Adam Lambert and has performed with Swedish artists Agnes and Thundermother. After growing up in Finland, Felin has been taking L.A. by storm in order to launch the well deserved music career that we're seeing flourish. Written By Breanna M.
