  • Review: "Sleepwalking With The Dead (ft. 7evin7ins)" - Rich Delinquent

    The new single “Sleepwalking With The Dead” is the product of the electrifying collab between Rich Delinquent and 7evin7ins. The song delves into the world of the inability to feel fully awake and aware, the world of feeling like you’re walking through a portal of your own demise. The song itself is a twisted experimental journey that gives listeners chills from its dark themes of inner despair. The production style of this track paints the image of just how bleak life can feel, and how one can end up digging a hole so deep they can’t get out. Overall, “Sleepwalking With The Dead” creates an eye-opening experience of the inner workings of an individual’s mind and how twisted this space can get. There’s a lot to enjoy about the creative choices used for “Sleepwalking With The Dead”. We hear production trends that became popular amongst pop music in the 2010s but here we see it being used in a darker and more serious setting. Both vocalists mix so well together as they create a whirlwind of different perspectives in the song’s story. The lyrics cut deep for listeners as a lot of what is being said are emotions we try to keep hidden because of how scary it can be. It can be terrifying to be honest about the pain of existing which is why songs that portray raw emotion like “Sleepwalking With the Dead” are so necessary. This collab between Rich Delinquent and 7evin7ins brought great gifts, and hopefully, we get to see more from this duo in the future. Rich Delinquent is an artist who has been praised by multiple outlets for his emerging presence in the pop scene. He began his musical journey in 2019 and since then has been stunning audiences with his unique pop style and his raw lyricism. He has been compared to major artists like The Weekend there is clearly a lot of excitement about Rich Delinquent’s creative flow. It wasn’t that long ago that he released his EP, “Here’s To Dystopia” and it shows how great his work ethic is. This collaboration with artist 7evin7ins shows what can happen when you bring two talented artists together to create something so unique. Rich Delinquent is set to tour this summer with artist Jacob Lee across Australia, so his musical journey will only get more exciting from this point on.

  • Review: "You Cannot Have It All" - SACO & Liz Beekman

    Have you ever met someone who checks off all the right boxes, but there's just still something about them that doesn't click with your heart? They are literally everything you could ever want, but there's something missing and you just can't bring yourself to give them a chance. "You Cannot Have It All" by SACO and Liz Beekman is a sassy, pop perfection track about how no matter how great a guy can be, it's impossible to be 100% perfect - and in this situation, you'd rather stay alone than risk being heartbroken ever again. Liz sings "You may be everything that I need, but I don’t wanna end up in the same place again." - "You may be the light in the darkest of times, but it doesn’t mean you know who I am". "You Cannot Have It All" is a Summer radio hit dance pop song. Even though it's in a minor key, you're not thinking about that while you're dancing around and blasting this song through your speakers. The style reminds me a bit of "Ex's and Oh's" by Elle King . Liz Beekman is the vocalist in this song and she has the perfect rich, soulful and powerful tone to lead this track and what it's about. The attitude behind her voice is also a bit reminiscent of Amy Winehouse . Let's not forget just how incredibly catchy the soundscape of this song is; with it's popping bass and groovy acoustic guitar, and the little "la la la la" moments, "You Cannot Have It All" is an ear-worm that belongs on every pop fans Summer playlist. SACO, also known as Coen van Hessen, is a Dutch DJ, singer and producer born and raised in Utrecht, Netherlands. He started DJing at the young age of eleven after gaining a fascination for electronic music. He starting singing and writing songs when he joined a band at the age of 18, but soon put his musical hobbies to the side to join medical school. However, after graduating, he got back into it like he never stopped and produces his own songs with Soave Records . Liz Beekman is a young, independent singer/songwriter who has collaborated with SACO before on their song "Not Looking For You." SACO and Liz have musical chemistry that really shines through in their current two projects, and I can't wait to hear what else they do!

  • Review: "Stranger" - Vanda

    Indie-pop singer-songwriter Vanda is back with her brand new single, "Stranger." The track is an empowering anthem about pushing away a toxic ex to the point where they are now just a stranger. The song is a moody genre-fusion, merging R&B, pop, and indie-rock. Its' sound is as cool as it is melodic. Instrumentally, 'Stranger' is mellow and heavy on acoustics, while, vocally, Vanda provides an impassioned, dynamic performance. "Stranger" is Vanda's first single since the release of her debut album "Sober In Another Life" from November of last year, and marks a new sonic direction for the artist, preceding more singles to come later this year. And if "Stranger" is any indication, Vanda's next project is bound to be a smash. "Stranger" is a song to blast driving late at night. Its chilling, down-tempo groove is a perfect vibe-setter that is also ridiculously catchy. Seriously, that "push you away" chorus is a total earworm. The contrast of the acoustic guitar-centered verses and the grand reverb-heavy refrain makes for a dynamic and impactful listen. And Vanda's lyricism is just as sharp. "I tie my hands to let you lead" is just one of plenty of astute lines within the song that portray the unhealthy relationship described. As a track, "Stranger" is strong on all fronts. Vanda is a Chicago-native indie-pop singer, songwriter, and producer who currently resides in LA. She began her music career after graduating from Hollywood's Musicians Institute in 2018. The following year, Vanda released her debut single, "Wish You Well," and her career has taken off ever since. The artist currently has over 2 million streams worldwide. Her collaboration with hit rapper Lucidicious on the track "Right Reasons," with over 1.2 million downloads on Spotify, and her last album, "Sober in Another Life, " are another massive success for Vanda. The album garnered enormous tracks like "Indigo" and "Fairytale," which have a collective 130,000 streams right now. Vanda has cultivated a strong audience with her authentic lyricism and undeniable vocal prowess. You can listen to her discography, including "Stranger," on streaming now.

  • Review: "Listen Now" - Ben Drysdale

    “Listen Now” by Ben Drysdale is an honest and emotional song that tells people struggling with depression that they are not alone. Following the singer’s experience of receiving a call from a suicidal friend in distress and having a conversation with him, Ben realized his friend’s mental health struggles are a shared experience. The song is both a show of support and a space for the singer’s vulnerability to be shared. In repeating the words “listen now” in both the verse and chorus, the words are an emphasis on the messages they precede. In the first verse, the narrator sings, “I’ll show you where I hide the cracks behind my smile”. Sharing this struggle and relating to both the friend this song was written for and any listener who feels the same, is a special show of empathy. It communicates the speaker is recognizing his friend’s pain and bearing his own. The verse concludes with the words “I’m here to get you by”, before delving into the chorus with the idea of going through the difficulty together. The words “we’ll take a stumble through the tunnel, make it to the light” are a particularly powerful metaphor. It portrays the darkness brought about by mental illness as a tunnel, meaning there is hope because tunnels have an end. These lyrics by no means make the process of healing seem easy, but they emphasize the strength that comes from having someone by your side with the use of the word “we”. Slow piano chords introduce the song and accompany Ben’s soft and slow vocals. His voice is breathy and warm, bringing a level of sensitivity to the tune. In the verses, he takes his time with his words, as though he is gently connecting with his friend. Through the chorus, Ben is singing with his chest as his voice grows in volume and power. There is some slight harmonizing through backup vocals used sparingly and purposefully throughout the song, especially during the chorus. Acoustic guitar strumming offers a raw and comforting texture, beginning at the first chorus and continuing throughout the rest of the song. Ben Drysdale is a singer and songwriter who has performed across North America, and Ireland. He is originally from Canberra, Australia. Ben co-wrote “Listen Now” with his mentor, John Clinebell . This song won second place in the Hawaii Songwriting Festival in 2023, where Eddy Bishai accompanied him on the piano. His music has been featured on television shows like The Young and The Restless  and Ex On The Beach . He is a part of East Row Rabble , a funk and soul music group, as their singer and songwriter.

  • Review: "Say So" - St. Lundi

    Even on the first listen, I knew that this song was something special. St. Lundi’s voice paired with these lyrics and the music just fills the listener with such good vibes. I found myself singing along by the time the second chorus rolled around. The way St. Lundi’s voice navigates the lyrics is a true work of art. “If you love someone, go ahead and say so.” The ever-present reminder that life, although precious and exciting at times, is also fleeting. We live, we love, we lose, we win, we struggle, we succeed, and we, ultimately, die. One of the most heartbreaking aspects of life is losing a loved one. It forces you to ponder who you are without that person, how you’re expected to carry on with life without them there, guiding you, supporting you, making you laugh, cry, feel alive. St. Lundi writes of the inner turmoil surrounding living, loving, losing, and finding the innate ability to carry on. As one may have guessed, the inspiration behind the song stemmed from St. Lundi’s relationship with a close loved one. St. Lundi has stated “”I wrote ‘Say So’ about my relationship with my father. We’d not spoken for nearly five years after falling out and no matter what I tried to do, nothing could replace our relationship. One day I realised maybe he’s not so good at talking because he never really had a father. So I reached out… and ever since we’ve been closer than ever. This song is there to encourage people to tell the ones they love that they love them.” This song is that soft whisper to “Just do it.” Love is a multifaceted wonder of the human experience. There are so many different types of love, different levels of love, different ways to show love, to receive love. It’s a beautiful thing to find people that imprint themselves on your heart and whom you can’t imagine living without. It’s an honor to be able to experience love so deeply as to be able to connect with this beautiful, beautiful song. “Cause, soon they might be gone and you’ll wish you’d said so.” After my granddad lost his battle to cancer last year, my world shifted in a way I’d never experienced before. This song in particular makes me think of my relationship with him because of St. Lundi’s explanation for the song and how his relationship with his father was strained for years. My relationship with my grandfather was anything but perfect throughout my life, but he was still a constant in my life, especially in my younger years. It was only after his death that I realized how big an impact he’d had on my life. He was my only father figure, so he doubled as my granddad and stand-in dad. I did, however, let him know in no uncertain terms that I loved him before he left this earth and I’m so grateful that we were able to mend our relationship before he passed. It’s always so wonderful when a song can evoke such strong emotions from deep within your soul, I’ve no doubt that St. Lundi and his team put a lot of work into developing this song. Everything is pieced together perfectly, the instruments, the lyrics, the vocals that soften on the most intricate parts of the song. A masterpiece in every sense of the word, it helps the listener go ahead and have a good cry and appreciate the important people in their lives. So, dearest listener, you heard the man - If you love someone, whoever it is, go ahead and say so. Archie Langley, or as most now know him, St. Lundi, is a singer/songwriter from the United Kingdom. His musical styling is mainly defined by his ability to connect with his audience through his lyrics, voice, and gift of storytelling. It has been said that many fans liken him to Chris Martin, as far as lyricism and vocal ability.

  • Review: "Lost It" - Alicia Lov

    Alicia Lov has struck her fans with another honest and emotion-provoking single, titled “Lost It”. Lov is known for her works inspired by her own struggles in life, and this latest release follows suit. The content of this song deals with the feeling of losing your sense of identity as you age, and struggling to find your true self. She explains how she has tried different methods, (“Of biting my tongue keeping quiet / I tried hard / To be the same person you wanted / Did I cross every line / Just to feel like I'm alive”) and yet nothing is making her feel like herself again. As per her usual style, her lyrics discuss heavy content and yet flow perfectly with the energetic soundscape. This track features an interesting bass line, with snaps and electronic pulsations throughout. Lov puts into words the feelings that so many young adults know all too well. The song opens with “Tell me / Tell me where my mind is / I'm struggling to find it / Tell me / Look me in my eyes and / Tell me what's inside them”. She is begging her listeners to look at her and give her something that she can hold onto, something that can give her some sense of self. The end of the song is just as interesting and yet extremely heartfelt. She sings the line I'm starting to feel like I've lost it” three times, over an electronic beat. The contrast of the soundscape versus this depressing lyric exemplifies the struggle Lov is currently dealing with. She cannot figure out who she is, and she can’t even figure out how to formulate this thought into other words. The background depicts what is going on in her head- chaos and unruly thoughts. Despite how different the lyrics and the sound of this song is, the two fit together seamlessly to create a very interesting and well done piece. Alicia Lov grew up a dancer, which gave her a direct look into the world of creativity and music. She has released many singles on streaming platforms, and has amassed over 1,000 monthly listeners. Now based in Edmonton, Canada, she has been working to tie her Spanish roots into her music, as well as her Canadian lifestyle. Her overall music style is similar to that of Tate McRae and a slightly more upbeat Billie Eilish- heartfelt lyrics and a sad tone paired with an electronic instrumentation.

  • Review: "That Girl" - Nicole Franco

    Sometimes our perception of others can stretch into outlandish delusions that may leave us smitten and overjoyed by the feeling of a possible love. We fall in love with the perception of love, seeing ourselves with this person in a charming and harmonious relationship, and ultimately falling for this person through the nonsensical scenarios we create in our heads, making us feel the sentiments that aren’t supposed to be there. Making us feel emotions that feel like love, emotions that feel like we couldn’t imagine ourselves with any other person, entirely falling in love with the idea of this person. However, these emotions are denigrated once we’ve learned that all these sweet emotions were pure delusion, learning that this person was already loved by another. It’s a betrayal like no other– betraying ourselves – by our delusions that made us fall for this person, only to be left in a puddle of hurt and disappointment. “That Girl” by Nicole Franco is a song about a similar situation– one where our artist describes a situation of being left with sad and forlorn feelings after falling for a person who already is in a relationship. Nicole begins to doubt her feelings, swearing that there truly was a spark that was alive and burgeoning. And yet, she was left in utter heartbreak to learn that this person was already loved by another. Click here to listen to "That Girl"! The first keys of the resounding piano and subtle violin are what pull us in first, followed by the honeyed voice of our artist, Nicole, beginning to float throughout our body, reeling us in a mere few seconds. The melancholic sound sets the stage, perfuming us with a taste of a looming heartache, the doleful voice of Nicole pulling at our hearts, manipulating us to feel the woeful sentiments that heartbreak conveys, her singing voice pulled from the depths of her soul, adding emphasis and meaning to the distressing lyrics. I found myself especially well acquainted with the lyrics– singing me a piece that I’ve already experienced in the form of a song, resonating deeply with the former emotions I had felt. The delusions I had found myself in, just as Nicole had described, swearing by the mutual interest in one another, swearing by the emotions that felt so real , and so convincing. However, I was only led to disappointment when I found out this person was already loved– just as the song and lyrics have depicted. Nicole Franco, the talented artist behind such a woeful song, is a singer and songwriter based in Long Island New York, resonating most with genres like pop, rock, and soft rock. Nicole was originally from Flordia, moving out to New York, only to be sidetracked by the pandemic that occurred in 2020. After, Nicole found herself back in Flordia, spending most of her time writing music about her struggles with her mental health, the heartbreak she faced, and any issues she had encountered throughout her life. Two years later, Nicole decided she would report back to New York, the passion she had never ebbed, still having hopes and dreams of pursuing her wishes to become a singer. Nicole currently has three singles, one being “That Girl”, another titled “Because of You” and another called “History”. As Nicole continues to write songs and pursue her desire to be a singer, she hopes that she can garner listeners who relate to her songs to make sure they know they are not alone in this world of bedlam.

  • Review: "Muscle Memory" - Christina Munsey

    North Carolina native Christina Munsey is back with her latest acoustic pop single, "Muscle Memory." This beautiful song delves into the intricacies of relationships which have fallen into autopilot, and it definitely succeeds at pulling at the heartstrings. “Muscle Memory” works to capture the essence of how partners can become so accustomed to each other, they stop trying. Munsey's lyrics poignantly describe the sinking feeling of this realization, with lines like "Your eyes were stuck on mine / And now I never see them." Munsey’s lyrical abilities really shine on this track, her storytelling represents a dreaded shift from passion to routine; and it will be relatable to anyone who has felt the stages of a fading connection. The listener is invited to reflect on their own relationships, contemplating whether familiarity has bred a sense of complacency. In a statement regarding this exciting new song, Munsey says, “I’ve been reworking muscle memory for over a year now. I’ve learned that sometimes you need to take a break from a song to figure out where to take it.” This patience explains Munsey’s ability to allow the song to feel so vulnerable and retrospective. "Muscle Memory" is a wondrous pop masterpiece which hooks the listener from the very first note. Its instrumentation can only be described as simple, yet impactful. The song opens with warm guitar plucks, setting a tender and emotional tone. Munsey's honeyed vocals, layered over subtle drum beats work to create a haunting, gut-punching soundscape. The song's structure is carefully constructed, with each instrument adding necessary depth and texture. Munsey's beautiful voice, reminiscent of pop icon Taylor Swift, carries the weight of “Muscle Memory” and its emotional message. Its crescendo will surely leave listeners with a lingering sense of introspection. Christina Munsey's musical journey is just  as captivating as her songs. Despite her non-musical upbringing, she found her passion for the art through her father's eclectic taste in music. This exposure to diverse sounds can be credited for her unique style, often blending indie pop with “roots'' singer-songwriter elements. The singer’s versatility is evident in Munsey's recent singles, “burned” and “take them all.” Impressively, Munsey's songs have not only topped Shazam charts internationally, but were also featured in mega popular TV shows like Netflix's "Love is Blind" and Australia's "Home and Away." With her new single "Muscle Memory," and more music on the way, Munsey continues to break the mold. She offers honest and relatable storytelling that resonates deeply with her audience.

  • Top 10 Taylor Swift Songs That Will Make You Cry

    Taylor Swift is no stranger to making songs that easily bring tears to our eyes. Her storytelling can hit just a bit too close to home sometimes. There are many songs by Taylor that could possibly make you cry, and I mean MANY, but this list is the top 10 Taylor songs that I personally can't listen to without sobbing. Let's see if you agree! Looking for the saddest songs that are specifically related to breakups? Read our Top 13 Saddest Taylor Swift Breakup Songs article! 10. Fifteen "I found time can heal most anything, and you just might find who you're supposed to be". They say Taylor Swift has a song for everybody, and out of any of her songs, Fifteen would be the one the majority of people can relate to. We've all been young a naïve, thinking you know everything when you don't, and experiencing hurt and heartbreak for the first time like you never have before. Sometimes the emotion of listening to this song doesn't come from the hurt you experienced when you were younger, but the realization of where you are now. You made it through, and you're still here. 9. All Too Well "I'd like to be my old self again, but I'm still tryin' to find it." I'm going to clump together All Too Well and the 10 minute version, because they're both incredible and genius in their own way. All Too Well is known for being a fan favorite and there's a reason why. The lyrics are written in such a way that you are able to put yourself into the song, almost like it's something that has happened to you. The story-telling is so incredible that you can't help but tear up, especially if you've been through a similar situation that Taylor has when she wrote this song. 8. Tolerate It "Gain the weight of you then lose it, believe me I could do it." Let's be honest, Taylor is the queen of writing break up songs. If you're ever going through a break up, Taylor's discography can get you through it. 'tolerate it' describes being in a relationship that you almost feel trapped in. They're not the same person they were when you met them, but you still feel love for them. You're trying to gain the courage to leave them or at least confront them about how they're making you feel lately. The bridge in this song gets me every time. 7. Never Grow Up "It's so much colder than I thought it would be, so I tuck myself in and turn my night light on". Forgive me, there is not a Taylor's Version of this song yet, but it's 100% belongs on this list. Along with 'Fifteen', I'd say 'Never Grow Up' is up there with the most relatable songs by Taylor Swift. We all have the experience of growing up, being terrified to do "grown up" things and going into the world on our own for the first time. Some of us would do anything to be a kid again, just to have one day with no real responsibilities or stress. If you feel this way, 'Never Grow Up' is a guaranteed cry fest for you. 6. Marjorie "I should've asked you questions, I should've asked you how to be." Losing a grandparent is one of the hardest life experiences to go through, especially when they were your best friend. You get such a short time with them but it's some of the best memories you'll ever have. Taylor wrote 'Marjorie' for her own grandmother, but many can relate to losing someone that was super close to you. It's bittersweet to reminisce on the times you had with them, but then you're thinking about the "what if" of it all. What could you have done better to make your time with them even more fulfilling. The bridge in this song is tough to listen to without getting choked up, but what gets me even more is hearing Marjorie singing opera in the background of the outro. 5. Bigger Than The Whole Sky "I'm never gonna meet what could've been, would've been, what should've been you." There's a couple different ways that fans have interpreted this song. Some believe it's about losing a baby, some believe it's about losing yourself after a traumatic event. But no matter how you interpret the song, it has it's own special meaning for each person who listens to it. That's what so special about Taylor's writing, is it doesn't have to mean one specific thing; it can mean many different things. So whatever your meaning of this song is, it's bound to make you emotional. From her soft spoken vocals and the heavenly music, it's hard to keep yourself together while listening. 4. Would've, Could've, Should've "God rest my soul, I miss who I used to be." In a similar situation as 'All Too Well' - 'Would've, Could've, Should've' is the fan favorite song off of Taylor's 'Midnights' album. Though it may never become a single in the way 'All Too Well' did, Swifties are making sure this song doesn't go unnoticed. Unfortunately, a lot of us can relate to having a relationship that changed who we are forever. Even years down the line, we face challenges in our minds that wouldn't be there if it wasn't for the traumatic experience of being taken advantage of by someone you were supposed to trust. Listening to the repetition of the bridge at the end of this song is almost like an outer body experience. 3. Forever Winter "Too young to know it gets better / I'll be Summer sun for you forever." Now we are in the territory of "If I listen to this song, I'm emotionally done for the rest of the day". Mental Health is one of the biggest ignored issues in society today. Whether 'Forever Winter' is reminding you of yourself or someone you care about, it hits you really hard. Don't let the instrumentation trick you! It's the perfect definition of a juxtaposition, where the music sounds happy but the lyrics are very sad and emotional. 2. Soon You'll Get Better "Who I am supposed to talk to? What am I supposed to do, if there's no you?." 'Soon You'll Get Better' is a song that I avoid listening to a lot. Don't get me wrong, it's an incredible song and it's written beautifully, but I can't even get through the first verse without crying. Taylor wrote 'Soon You'll Get Better' about how she felt when her mom was going through cancer treatment. As someone who has lost somebody to cancer, this song is almost unbearable to listen to for my emotional sake. Taylor actually said she planned on never performing 'Soon You'll Get Better' live because it was too difficult for her emotionally, but once the pandemic started she blessed the world with her charity performance at Global Citizen. 1. Ronan "Flowers pile up in the worst way, no one knows what to say about a beautiful boy who died." Similar to 'Soon You'll Get Better', 'Ronan' is nearly impossible to listen too. Agreeably one of Taylor's saddest songs of all time, Ronan Thompson was a little boy who lost his battle to cancer. Taylor wrote the song in the perspective of Ronan's mom, Maya, in which Taylor felt personally impacted by Maya's story of Ronan online. If you've never heard this song before, please let me warn you - go grab your tissues and give yourself the rest of the day to eat ice cream in bed. Did any of these songs make you cry?
