In her new single “what’s the harm?”, singer Julia Adrian is dreaming up what her ex-partner might be doing at the exact moment. Convinced they miss her, Adrian puts on a brave front to cope with the post-breakup depression, with the hopes that “[she] was [her partner’s] one who got away.” With self-proclaimed delusional confidence, Adrian shows that there’s no harm in moving on when she’s not the one pining. After all, when given the ego boost of thinking that “[Adrian] is the exception to [her ex-partner’s] rule,” why wouldn’t she “move on either way”? Everyone can see her confidence, but with the mantra of “[Adrian being] so Goddamn carefree,” this attitude may just be the only thing getting her through it. “what’s the harm?” is a great blend of pop with a little bit of country influence. With Julia Adrian’s smooth vocals and a smooth backing track, this is the perfect song to chill out to and accidentally like your ex’s post from 2021.

Sometimes, the hardest enemy to overcome is yourself. Insecurities and self-deprication can be woven incredibly deeply into your very bones, and can be even harder to deal with than someone outside your own head bringing you down. Kat Velasco’s latest single “Breaking My Own Heart” puts this feeling into words, as she describes her own battles with trying to break out of her mind. Co-written by Claire Douglas, Hannah Ellis, and Jason Massey, the lyrics are extremely honest and raw, and Velasco’s voice is the perfect mix of both saddened and strong; while she is sick of feeling like this, it is nothing new to her. e soundscape of this track is simplistic and melancholic, with Velasco’s emotions being the main take away. The first verse paints a picture of what the world is like outside of her mind, how it is sunny and full of silver linings. She contrasts this with the chorus, when she sings, “Do I have it out for me / A self fulfilling prophecy / If its holding up / Sure enough I can find a way to make it fall apart” and “Happy shouldn't be this hard / Why do I keep breaking my own heart”. In the bridge, Velasco compares her mind to typical doomsday references, like Armegeddian and the sky falling, after which she repeats the chorus with a newfound energy. You can hear her kicking herself for her negativity, wishing that she didn’t feel like this. Forlorn and melancholic, she reserves herself to always being her worst enemy, and the song trails off as she repeats “breaking my own heart”. Originally hailing from South Carolina, Kat Velasco has since moved to Nashville, TN to become a Western pop artist. She found her love of music at an early age through performing in music theater groups, and has grown into a singer-songwriter, beginning to release her own music in 2021. Her third single “Leave Me Wild” found its way onto popular Spotify playlists, gaining her listeners and allowing her music to be heard. Since then, she has headlined her first Nashville show and opened for various country artists. She has multiple festival performances coming up, with headliners like Megan Moroney, Jon Pardi, and Chase Rice.

Photographer: dillonmatthewc.com/prints Back breaking our heart again already, Conan Gray has release his fourth studio album, "Wishbone". TRACKLIST Actor This Song Vodka Cranberry Romeo My World Class Clown Nauseous Caramel Connell Sunset Tower Eleven Eleven Care If you don't know who Conan Gray is, you should. He's a brilliant songwriter with a voice from the heavens. His infectious personality and relatability makes you an instant fan before you even get a chance to hear his music - but the music makes it all the better. From a small town in Texas, Conan started posting videos on YouTube as a child and became an internet sensation. This led to him getting a record deal at Republic Records , where he officially debuted with his 2018 EP release, "Sunset Season". Conan is known for writing heartbreaking, vulnerable lyrics paired with infectious melodies. If you pay enough attention, a lot of his songs seem to lead back to one tragic story, which we finally see unfold in visual form within the music videos for his fourth studio album, "Wishbone". Let's dive into these tracks!! Actor We kick off the album with the heartbreaking, cinematic, tear-jerking introduction, "Actor". This song builds and builds until you just can't hold anything back anymore. Starting with beautiful acoustic guitar, and then bursting into marching drums and a full blown orchestra, "Actor" is about a secret love affair with someone that can't face who they really are. They hide themselves in the world with anger, and they take it out on the only person they truly loved. Conan sings of how they have to spend their lives pretending they never even knew each other, but this other person is a much better actor than him. Although, it sounds like the ex is falling apart just as much, and just covers it all up with drinking. This Song "This Song" was the first single and the first music video we got to experience within the "Wishbone" universe, and it was when we were introduced to the main characters of this chaotic love story, Wilson and Brando. "This Song" is where it all begins - two best friends who want to be more, but one is more afraid than the other to be themselves out in the open. The music video was a monumental moment, not only for Conan but for his fans as well, as he openly kissed someone for the very first time. The soundscape of this song sounds like a fairytale with acoustic guitar and orchestral strings. It's a cinematic experience with tension, leading up to a release once you realize that the feelings are mutual between both characters. However, an anxiety inducing lightning strike occurs right before the video ends, foreshadowing what is to come. Vodka Cranberry Continuing the story from "This Song", we have the second single release, "Vodka Cranberry" which has been stuck in my head since it came out and just might be the song of the year for me. "Vodka Cranberry" is about that type of relationship that turns sour. You still love the person, but it's very clear that they don't love you anymore. However, they absolutely refuse to leave you because they are a coward. The pain that comes from a scenario like this hardly mendable, which is perfectly executed through the music video where we see Brando full of unnecessary resentment towards Wilson, leading up to him abandoning Wilson in a roadside motel. "Vodka Cranberry" has an ear-worm chorus and a bridge with a high-note that'll bring you to your knees. When you hear the fade-out ending, tears will be streaming down your face. Romeo "Romeo" is the state of anger within the grieving process after a breakup. Conan is letting it all out with honest sass and rage. The song begins with medieval horns, but turns into an alternative 90's / early 2000's groove with a conversational tone coming out of Conan's mouth. He goes on to realize just how crappy his ex really is as a person, and says, "you're no Romeo" and is mad about how much time he wasted on him. I'm proud to hear him finally call someone out on their crap; it's time they get what they deserve! My World Next, we have "My World", which is like the ultimate letting go song and feels like being able to breathe again. I've never been happier for Conan than in this moment after listening to this song, as I feel like he's finally able to be himself and be happy without any strings attached. "My World" is perfectly upbeat with drums and synths, and not only says goodbye to that toxic relationship he had been holding onto, but says hello to the new control that he has on his life and his happiness. He sings, "It's my world and it's my life". It feels like closure and pure catharsis. Class Clown If you know anything about Conan Gray, you know that he didn't have an easy childhood. This is one of the reasons his fanbase has such a great connection to his music. If you're one of those people, you know that growing up with humor was one way to cover up the trauma you were going through. When you'd go to school, you'd crack jokes and make a fool of yourself to hide the true pain that you were going through. You didn't want anyone to know what was really going on at home, so you pretended to be happy. This is what "Class Clown" is about, but it's also about how even as an adult now, that feeling still always comes back sometimes. No matter how hard you try, that trauma still follows you and triggers when you least expect. The soundscape of this song is stomach churning, but it's meant to be that way. It's eerily beautiful; haunting. Nauseous "Nauseous" is sweetly slow, with a soulful tone and a classic groove of acoustic guitar, raw piano, drums and bass. It's about being scared to fall in love again or even trust anyone after having gone through so much hurt and betrayal in the past. It's even scarier when the person is someone you know is good, and that everyone else likes - but you just can't bring yourself to completely give in to them. It literally makes you nauseous. It's hard to let people in when you've been let down not only once, but several times before in your life. Caramel And the saga continues.... "Caramel" is part 3 of the Wilson and Brando journey. Sounding like a nostalgic pop/rock song straight out of a 90's teen romance movie, "Caramel" highlights the endless cycle of a toxic relationship that turns from love, to hatred, to lust. As bad as they hurt you, you can't shake how good they used to be and the old memories you had. You just wish it could be like that again, but it never will. So you keep letting them come back into your life, and break your heart over and over again, just for a little taste of that old life - even if it's not the same. Connell We're dropping names now with "Connell". Conan once said he was dumped mid-flight to London, and this song is about that. The song starts with a beautiful acoustic picking pattern and a stunning melody as Conan tears himself down, telling us just how crappy this "Connell" tragically made him feel in that moment. Then as we reach the end, Conan sings his name over and over as it turns into a rock ballad, but in an absolute apocalyptic, terrifying type of way. We hear the sound effects of a plane at the end, really just adding to the emotional impact of this personal story. Sunset Tower "Sunset Tower" references Tower Hotel in London, a place that Conan and the toxic main character of this album spent a lot of time together at. The song is about them both being in town, and not wanting to hear about all the affairs that his ex is having. Even if you are over something, it's understandable to not want to hear about your past lover anymore. The soundscape is full of reverb, guitars and synths, continuing that lovely 90's vibe we've been hearing throughout the album. Eleven Eleven Even if we don't believe in it, whenever we see the numbers "11:11" on the clock, the first thing we think of is to make a wish. In the case of the song "Eleven Eleven", Conan sings of all the superstitions such as wishbones, four leaf clovers, and horoscopes in hopes to get back the person he loved, even though deep down he knows it's not meant to be. This song has one of the most beautiful, addicting melodies off of the entire album. Conan does vocal flips and shows off his stunning falsetto that we all know and love. It's a love ballad of yearning that I can't wait see live. Care Last, but absolutely not least, we have the banger of a closer, "Care". The whole song is an ear-worm with a twangy riff and a nostalgic, energetic rhythm that makes you want to get up and dance around your room. Conan sings with celtic influence that is so different from anything he's ever done before, and it just WORKS so well with his heavenly voice. The song is about how even though someone from your past has hurt you, it's hard not to care about them still. Especially when you were friends before you were lovers, there's always going to be a part of you that wonders how they are, even if it stings every time you think about them. With everything that Conan Gray puts out, he manages to create this whole new universe and experience that is mind-blowingly fresh and new. His last album, "Found Heaven" was straight out of the 80's, and I feel like with "Wishbone" we moved onto the next generation of sound within the 90's and more raw instrumentals. His storytelling and lyricism are underrated and award worthy. The emotion, vulnerability and relatability that goes into every single line is something hard to find in mainstream pop music nowadays. Even the "happy" songs bring tears to your eyes because you can feel Conan's heart and soul being put into every word and note he sings. I think "Wishbone" is the most honest and beautiful album that he's put out so far, and I'm so proud to have gotten to witness it. Stay tuned in September for my concert review of his tour!

No one wants to accept when a relationship is over, but when you can't ignore the signs anymore there's a choice that has to be made. There's a moment that feels like you're on the edge of a cliff, out of options as to how to save whatever is left between two people. "Forever Ends Right Now" by Rob Eberle studies the abyss of understanding that the love between two people is gone and there's nothing left in the relationship, and yet, both parties are scared to leave. There's an odd dynamic where the song's instrumentals are very bright in a classic indie rock style, but the story itself remains emotionally transparent as it uncovers the conflicting feelings of finding yourself in this situation. Rob Eberle captures the reality that not every breakup is sudden and big, sometimes it's slow and painful as you reach the realization that this relationship can't move forward. "Forever Ends Right Now" comes across as a very cheery anthem at first that it catches you by surprise when the lyrics kick in. There's almost a catchy swing to it that makes you want to get up and dance, and eventually fall to the ground and cry when you start to pay attention to the story. The production is very clean and put together, and towards the end there's a nice touch with experimenting with the song's style. The use of a "phone call" from the other person is also a nice addition that makes the song feel more substantial. There's certainly some drama in the ambiance of "Forever Ends Right Now" that gives the track a cinematic edge. You can see the movie playing out in your head as you listen and that's always the sign of a great song. There's something oddly familiar about Rob Eberle's voice, he's very vulnerable in his singing which makes the song feel more authentic in its story. What really works for this song is it sells itself as a nontraditional breakup song, because this story isn't presented as much as other breakups are. It's unique and stands out, and overall "Forever Ends Right Now" both fires you with energy and also tugs at your heartstrings, creating a haunting presentation. Rob Eberle is an artist originally from Long Island that is now based in Los Angeles. He has been credited for his diverse style and captivating song writing ability. He takes inspiration from artists like FINNEAS, Billie Eilish, and Jeremy Zucker. Eberle has been releasing music since 2021. His debut EP "Collateral Damage" was released in 2024 and has gained 400k streams overall. His previous releases have been recognized by platforms like Spotify and Tidal, and his recent release "goodbye (to someone you love)" did well and made it to Top 40 radio.

Taking on the succulent sweetness of fruit, the lyrics explore the zesty, intimate, and assured nature of the speaker's relationship.

Ambient chords accompany a simple, hazy keyboard pattern to open the song.

Kings Elliot delivers an introspective fourth single, "What If This World," off her upcoming debut album, Born Blue. Fitting easily into the vulnerable, soul-searching style she's known for, the song still stands out in its production and melancholic feel. The album's title is a clever nod to the artist's trademark blue hair as well as a reflection of Elliot's experience with mental health struggles since childhood. "What If This World" carries the weight of feeling undesired, like you don't matter and don't care to. Elliot sings, achingly, in the song, "I know that it hurts, but it's worse dying young. It's hard watching it turn. What if this world isn't for us?" Exploring themes of heartbreak beyond the romantic sense, Elliot has honed in on her heartfelt balladry to reveal the fragility of our human connections, relying on emotion and candor. The alt-pop song begins with a soft piano intro that quickly bleeds into understated, rhythmic percussion before adding the piano back into the stack of instrumentals. After the first verse, there is an uptick in prominent use of reverb throughout the rest of the song. Here, the reverb is drawing the sounds of percussion and piano swells further back into the track's soundscape so that Elliot's haunting vocals come forward. The repetition of melodies in the single also leads listeners to focus intently on Elliot's thoughtful lyricism rather than an overcomplicated melodic pattern. As a result, the sound is an emotion-driven dark alternative pop song, reminiscent of early Halsey's similar angsty pop, it borrows bits from many music scenes to create something unique. Kings Elliot was born in a small town in Switzerland, where she grew up under the care of her English mother. Elliot's transparency about her mental health struggles has been at the forefront of her music career. Turning to music early on for consolation, Elliot has stuck with a musical style inspired by her struggles. Her fans, affectionately known as the "sick puppies," have been drawn to the singer's fresh authenticity. As a result of boldly demonstrating this individuality, Elliot has toured with a number of internationally acclaimed musicians such as Imagine Dragons, Stephen Sanchez, and Lana Del Rey. Her long-awaited debut album, Born Blue , will be available September 26th, marking a new chapter in the artist's career.

Gatlin’s new single, Happy, is a pop country song that tackles the hard subject of depression. If you’ve ever experienced depression before, this song is most likely going to make you cry. It hits just that heavy and sucks you back in to those bottomless days. It describes the loneliness that one feels when they’re constantly sad. Even when you’re doing something you love, it can be hard to hold your head up. So the question will always be: Will it ever get better? I have the answer. Yes. It will get better. I would recommend anyone reading this to seek therapy. If that’s not an option or not something you're interested in, I hope you at least have someone in your life you can discuss your feelings with. Happy begins with an acoustic guitar that builds into the first hard hitting verse. The lyrics that hit me the hardest are “You couldn’t get off the phone fast enough, didn’t know talking to me was so boring” and “I tried everything that worked before. I’m telling you something is off cause nothing makes me happy”. The lyrics fully capture the feeling of being alone and feeling like there is no one to be there for you when you’re suffering. The production adds a bittersweet touch and it’s very relatable. Outside of the mini PSA I gave, I genuinely believe this is a good song that speaks to many people’s experiences and think you will resonate with it. Gatilin is a singer-songwriter raised in Florida and currently based in Los Angeles, California. She is influenced by a plethora of musicians including HAIM , Harry Styles , and Queen . Her music is personal having spoken about her experiences growing up religious and realizing she was gay. She has released multiple EPs and songs dating back to 2019. This year alone, she has released Pipe Dream , Jesus Christ and Country Clubs , and If She Was A Boy . Her debut album, Eldest Daughter, is coming out on October 3 so be sure to check out!

He would learn dances from music videos and perform for his family, which eventually turned into a passion for songwriting.

As sad as it is, sometimes people truly aren’t meant to be in our lives forever. We can’t pause our growth mourning the ones meant to stay in the past, we have to move forward. EMME’s new song “No Really, I’m Good” is all about realizing you’ve moved on and are much better off without the friends who tear you down. It’s an indie pop anthem full of bright acoustic guitars, a chugging rhythm and lyrics that explore the power of healing. It was made to remind us that sure, this might suck now but it’s exactly what needs to happen for you to find joy. If you’ve ever outgrown someone in your life, this is the song for you. “No Really, I’m Good” is the breath of fresh air you need after unloading the weight you should’ve never had to carry on your shoulders. “I’m feeling light as a feather so much better since I got you out.” She took inspiration from artists like HAIM and Maggie Rogers, but added her own unique style that leaves this track feeling like a breath of fresh air. It’s upbeat and carefree, leaving you wondering why the loss ever affected you at all. I love that instead of dwelling, EMME explored the positive spin on losing a friend and turned it into a bop!
