  • Review: "Electric Nights" - Emmrose

    Photo Credits: Crios We have all been let down at one point in our lives, and it can leave us in despair, feeling isolated from those around us. The feeling can become so dramatic that it feels like a moment in a film where the character has reached their limit and has given up. Emmrose’s latest single, “Electric Nights” is an emotional dream pop experience that tells the story of someone who has been hurt and is now all alone. The song is built with 80s synths that transport listeners into classic films we all love. The cinematic nature of the song is what really sells it to listeners, and Emmrose executes this style very well. Emmrose’s “Electric Nights” perfectly captures the narrative of disappointment and loneliness which is a common aspect of human nature and presents it in an interesting musical presentation. The song has a beautiful introduction and it’s entertaining enough to where you could listen to the first 10 seconds of the song on repeat if you wanted to. Emmrose’s voice melts in the song and perfectly brings life into her lyrics. The song is calm yet still deeply emotional enough to move listeners. The song truly does make listeners feel as if they are standing still while everyone around them is moving at a faster pace. There are elements in the song that are reminiscent of famous 80s pop stars and it helps capture the hearts of listeners, that sense of familiarity. The chorus of the song gets stuck in your head without having to try too hard and this is where we get to hear Emmrose do more with her vocal performance. Ending with the line “guess I’ll just drive home” feels like the perfect way to wrap up the track because it feels like it adds closure to the character’s arc; that acceptance in their situation and that there is nothing left to do except leave. The song ends the credits start rolling and this perfectly captured story stays in your hearts as Emmrose has exceeded with her song “Electric Nights.” Emmrose is a young artist from New York who has been releasing music since 2019.

  • Review: "Stupid" - bexx

    Photo Credits: Elena Torrano Have you ever been annoyed with yourself about how much you care for someone? It's hard to be mad when all you can think about is how happy they make you. Having arguments is pretty much unavoidable, even in the strongest of relationships. Sometimes you've got to just a take a step back, realize what you've got, swallow your pride and say you're sorry. "Stupid" by bexx is a love song that sarcastically labels everything you love about someone as "stupid" when you're in the middle of a fight; like their stupid face and their stupid smile; when really the only thing that is stupid is the fact that you're even wasting any time arguing instead of loving each other. "Stupid" has a simple but strong nostalgic pop soundscape that focuses on the lyrics and having fun more than anything else. The beat is very 80's and carries bexx's soulful but playful tone through this fun-loving bop. My favorite lyric is "I hate this song 'cause it's about you' because it makes me giggle when I think about the context and how happy the music sounds against these words. "Stupid" is a very unserious song, but still very relatable and both of those things shine through in the music video as well. bexx is a queer pop artist and singer/songwriter from the UK. Her music covers topics like queer dating, body image and mental health. "Stupid" is a single off her brand new debut EP, "SUCKER" which is a collection of five songs. The EP also includes her other recent single, "I'm Disgusting!". bexx debuted her career in 2021 with her first single, "Hard To Love" and has been taking over the British pop scene ever since with an impressive 15,000 monthly listeners on Spotify. bexx has headlined at Nottinghamshire Pride as well as supported as an opener for others on tour. She's only getting started, so make sure to follow her journey below. Written By Kaitlyn Nicole FOLLOW BEXX:

  • Review: "People Are Lovely" - Tayler Buono

    “People Are Lovely” should be your reminder to call all your friends and family to tell them that you love them. Tayler Buono wrote “People Are Lovely” as a tribute to all of “her people”, and as a reminder to carry yourself with confidence. The song starts off with a voicemail from her mom who’s telling her to make friends that feel like family. The voicemail ends, and Taylor jumps into her experiences with her optimistic spirit. She tells a stranger that she loves them, but they’re put off by her unabashed optimism. Tayler is constantly hyping up her friends, telling “[her] bestie that she’s sexy every time that she leaves.” She even told a guy on a first date that he was the man of her dreams. In the pre-chorus, she recognizes that her optimism might scare people away, but she has a lot of love in her heart that she wants to give away. Then in the chorus, she shouts out all of her people, saying that they love her no matter what, and all the sad songs turn into happy ones “like sun in the rain.” Tayler then says that she loves her people, and says if people don’t like her it’s okay because she has her friends and family always by her side. In the next verse, she talks about how she used to pick petals off a flower to see if someone loves her, but now she’s so indifferent she puts them in her hair. She tells strangers all of her secrets, goes to parties just to “bust down and leave,” and holds an after-party with all of her friends. “People Are Lovely” is a meaningful and heartfelt tribute to all the people that Tayler cares about. “People Are Lovely” perfectly blends elements of a ballad and a pop song. The song combines deep, meaningful lyrics with a stereotypical pop sound. During the voicemail, there is a string orchestra playing a dreamy piece underneath. When the voicemail, Tayler switches up the vibe to a classic pop song. The instrumentation isn’t too complex, with only bass, guitar, drums, and piano, but the simple backing track places emphasis on Tayler’s vocals and lyrics. The song doesn’t need all the fancy tricks to make the song sound good; the message makes it feel good. At the end of the chorus, the backing track takes a step back until it’s just a piano and Tayler, which is dream-like and smooth. The second verse has the same instrumentation as the first verse but has more rhythmic hi-hats added to create some dimension. And as the final pre-chorus comes in, it’s just Tayler’s voice and the piano again, and the final chorus has Tayler’s background vocals soaring over her main melody. Tayler has been in the music business for over 10+ years, navigating the ups and downs of the industry. Her 2017 release “Technically Single” landed her the number 1 spot on Spotify’s US Viral 50 Chart. Tayler, who’s based in Nashville, now has over 50 million lifetime streams on Spotify. Her first album, “how to get through a breakup”, released in 2022, has over 4 million streams. In preparation for her sophomore album, “Stay Dreamy”, and a live show, she has been releasing a new single off the album every 4 to 6 weeks. “People Are Lovely” was recently noticed by Simon Cowell, and the song will be featured on both Britain’s Got Talent and America’s Got Talent. Currently, Tayler has over 50k monthly listeners on Spotify, and with a great track record, it’s guaranteed that you will hear from Tayler again and again.

  • Review: "Saturday Night" - Alessiah

    Dancepop's connection to, well, dance makes it particularly suited to express the propulsive feelings and experiences in life. The heart-pounding thrill of new love reflects perfectly onto throbbing bass and clashing rhythm. On her latest single, Romanian singer/songwriter Alessiah shows deft command over the dancefloor. "Saturday Night" is buzzing electro-pop with a party-ready melody. Alessiah's vocal performance, however, is softer than one might anticipate. The combination feels more spacious, allowing the pulsing and airy synths to breathe in the mix. It's catchy and lively enough to animate a packed club, but I imagine it just as fitting on a city block at 2AM. The story Alessiah tells throughout "Saturday Night" is a familiar one in the club-pop canon: new burgeoning love and the kinetic experience of falling into it. "Let me have some fun," she asks as though brushing off an inner voice of hesitation. The hints of secrecy play into the darker atmosphere, though remaining playful as ever ("If my papa finds out about me and you, it won't be good"). Though, it seems that he did find out, as in the chorus she asks "remember when you were young?" Much of Alessiah's lyrics feel like texts she might send to the friend who will tell her to go for it. "What should I do?" She asks, though the hint of a smirk in her voice suggests that she's already decided. Born and raised in Romania, Alessiah has quickly become an internationally acclaimed pop artist. As a young teenager, she has become an inventive and powerful voice for generational experiences and passions. The prolific rate at which she has released singles over the past several years has catalogued her development and growth as an artist with many years ahead in her career. "Saturday Night" is Alessiah's third single of the year, releasing alongside a fun music video that matches its vibe perfectly. The rising star's music has found a home on the label MediaPro—part of the industry titan Universal Music Group. Written By Andy Mockbee FOLLOW Alessiah:

  • Review: "Plot Twist" - Sarah Anne Fernandez

    All the promotional art for Sarah Anne Fernandez's newest single, "Plot Twist," are wonderfully girly collages filled with hearts, flowers, and pink--well, everything. These images paired with the lyrics that reference he loves me, he loves me not and "poems [and] lips," create a clear aesthetic for "Plot Twist." Fernandez uses these staple ideas of romance to accentuate the song's narrative: finding the perfect partner when you least expect it. The type of fantasy relationship straight out of a romance book; so pure it makes you believe in love again after heartbreak. Fernandez croons about how this person clouds her thoughts at all times. She is giddy and smitten--almost too much--to the point where she cheekily asks, "Who the hell knew I could be like this?" When love feels off the table, "Plot Twist" reminds us that a fairytale ending can still be possible for us all. Sonically, "Plot Twist" shimmers. The instrumental sparkles with glitchy electro-synths that enhance the song's idyllic tone. As a writer, Fernandez crafts poetic yet grounded lyrics. Lines range from explicit details, i.e., "Your Russian blue eyes," to resonant metaphors, like how their "days smile in size." "Plot Twist" is a genuine, distinctive narrative that also comments on relatable sentiments most listeners should be able to connect with. The emphatic lyrics and vocal delivery make the single come alive. Fernandez has a background in musical theatre, which is evident in her expressive singing. The vocal delivery is gentle and smiley, making the emotional beats more touching and the more playful ones more punchy. As well, Fernadez adds belting to the background of the song's climatic bridge--emphasizing the "you got me so goddamn hooked" line while flexing an impressive feat of her vocal prowess. "Plot Twist" is the ideal summer love song-breezy, catchy, and fun. Sarah Anne Fernandez is a singer, songwriter, and actress who graduated from New York University Tisch School of the Arts with a BFA in drama. She went on to perform as Elphaba in the North American tour of Wicked and soon began releasing music of her own. Inspired by the likes of Taylor Swift, Paramore, Phoebe Bridgers, and Olivia Rodrigo, Fernandez focuses on making narrative and emotionally resonant records. She debuted her first single, "Drowning," a ballad about self-esteem and anxiety, in 2022, and her second release, the revenge-inspired track "Nightmare," the following year. The latter of which has since garnered over 24,000 streams on Spotify. "Plot Twist" is another entry in her discography that continues her trend of blending heart and story. The newest single, along with her other songs, is available on streaming services now. Written By Lauren Nolan FOLLOW SARAH:

  • Review: "lame" - earth2zoe

    All great artists know that the best art comes in the spur of the moment– it hits like a truck, feels like a flame, and your hands work on their own. This was earth2zoe’s experience when crafting “lame,” a track that was written awfully quickly after she found out her (now ex) boyfriend was cheating on her while scrolling on social media. It’s unfortunate enough to be cheated on, but even more so when you discover it through Instagram or Facebook or any other social media platform– there’s just something about that betrayal being so secret yet so public that makes it sting terribly. “lame” captures that vicious feeling and translates it into a catchy beat, channeling that gut-wrenching deception into a song that puts the cheater to shame. “lame” is both chill electro-pop tunes and heartfelt lyrics; while the percussion and strings form the backbone of the instrumentals, earth2zoe’s vocals and songwriting really make the song what it is. It tells a deeply personal yet relatable story of a person who has realized they’ve been played by a partner and treated like a game. “lame” digs deep into the reality of what it’s like to date in the 21st century, where information is abundant and social media exists to serve you facts and figures and details without you asking for it. earth2zoe opens the song with, “I was scrolling ‘til my jaw dropped,” showing how even the most casual of actions– such as surfing social media– can result in a life-changing discovery. The rest of the song describes betrayal after betrayal (“Now I’m getting flashbacks/From the night you never called me back,” “No, it’s not that funny, it’s insane/That you thought you would get away with/Hiding hearts under tables”); earth2zoe has a talent for encapsulating heartbreak and heartache in a song you can still tap your foot to. “lame” is a fantastic breakup anthem: the beat is measured, the lyrics are flowy, and is all based on a true story. earth2zoe, born Zoe Katzberg and formerly known as Zoelly, was born and raised in a suburb north of Toronto. An indie artist, her music is composed of melodic and soulful pop with a personal, edgy, authentic touch to every song she creates. As Zoelly, her hit track “Blowing Smoke” amassed over 1.6 million streams and the release of her other single “Video Games” caught the attention of Warner Music Canada. When she eventually rebranded to earth2zoe, her debut single “Hallie’s Song” reached #26 on the Hot AC chart. earth2zoe pulls on personal experiences to produce her music, whether that’s from friendships, relationships, and other themes that are prevalent in life; love, youth, and self-discovery. “lame,” in particular, provides guidance on what it means to love and lose, which is something that earth2zoe seeks to give through her music, growing unity and solace amongst her listeners. You’ll really feel that connection when listening to any of her music, but especially with “lame." Written By Alexa Leung FOLLOW EARTH2ZOE:

  • Review: "(Don't Quit Your) Daydream" - Lily Meola

    Lily Meola releases inspiring track “(Don’t Quit Your) Daydream” about never giving up on yourself or the dreams that fill your eyes with stars. In life, a lot of people will try and dim your light or squash your dreams, but Lily wanted to create something that would encourage young people to listen to their heart, and go after what they want. Instead of the age old, “Don’t quit your day job,” where people indirectly say you can’t be successful, Lily wants us to know to never give up. All great achievements, fame, and profits once started out as a dream. No one is saying it’s easy, but believing in yourself is always worth it. There comes a time when you have to block out outside voices and influences, and follow your heart. Nobody knows you, or what you’re capable of, better than yourself. Keep believing in yourself, continue to fight for yourself, remember that triumph can take time, and don’t ever quit your daydream. “(Don’t Quit Your) Daydream” is a reimagined version of Lily Meola’s impactful 2021 single, “Daydream.” In this song, a bright piano melody lifts Lily’s lyrics through an uphill climb. A sea of emotions in the powerful build before a climatic second chorus lends to her audience experiencing much more than just a song. Her message is compelling and necessary in a society that has a lot of closed doors and people telling you to follow suit. Lily shares, “I feel like I wrote this song for my future self, to re-inspire me to never quit my daydream.” Her poetic poignancy and beautifully crafter arrangement come together to create a timeless ode to following your dreams. “(Don’t Quit Your) Daydream” is a delightful masterpiece with a meaningful message that will never go out of style. Lily Meola is a singer/songwriter born and raised on the island of Maui, Hawaii. Her passion for music was born as a passenger in her mom’s car listening to legends like Ella Fitzgerald, Joni Mitchell, and Carole King. She began performing in local bars and cafes around Maui at just 11 years old. Mentored by super-producer Bob Rock, Lily toured with the likes of Willie Nelson, and was featured on his album of duets, “To All The Girls…” She wrote songs with Jackson Browne, and she has shared the stage with icons like Steven Tyler, Kris Kristofferson, Alice Cooper, and more. Lily has spent the last few years in the studio writing and producing the soulful pop songs that make up her most recent EP, Daydream , and she is just getting started on making all of her dreams a reality!

  • Review: "Dry" - ellakate

    This song, “Dry” by singer/songwriter ellakate, perfectly encapsulates what it feels like to be overwhelmed and tired and unsure of what to do to make yourself feel better. Written while experiencing an intense burn-out, this song explores feelings of numbness and indifference and what it does to you when you lose the motivation you are so desperately trying to find again through lyrics like “I’ve lost all of my reliability” and “trekking through the desert, hoping for some angsty weather.” Feelings like these leave you wondering: will you ever be successful the way you want? Or are you so burnt-out that you have nothing left to give? Everyone’s experienced this at some point. Maybe it’s school, maybe it’s work, or maybe it’s something else in your life, but whatever is causing that fatigue and exhaustion, just know you’re not alone! “Dry” perfectly captures the retro pop sound that’s so reminiscent of the 20th century, creating an infectiously upbeat melody. Right from the beginning, with the horns in the introduction, you’re dancing in your seat as you listen to it. ellakate’s vocals are soft and smooth in the verses, with lingering drawn out notes cleverly backed by a catchy drum beat. After each verse, the song builds with a slight change to the melody, keeping the rhythm fresh before climbing up to a bouncy and bright chorus that makes you want to sing along. The bridge brings the tone back down but builds the tension perfectly in the song, keeping you guessing before breaking back out into the chorus one last time. ellakate creatively makes the song a contradiction by sharing the tougher emotions of being burnt out in the life you have overtop an instrumental track that evokes emotions of joy and fun, and this combination creates an addicting song that leaves you hitting play again the second it's over! Ella Greenbaum, also known as ellakate, is an alternative pop singer/songwriter who was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. She’s been writing and playing music ever since she was a kid, growing up with musical parents who encouraged her passions. In her music, she loves to explore themes of growing up and finding love, and takes inspiration from not only her life but from stories she’s heard that have impacted her and how she views the world. With a sound reminiscent of other singer/songwriters such as Lana Del Rey, Billie Eilish, and Tove Lo, and with a voice compared to a “young Amy Winehouse,” Ellakate is ready to take the alt-pop music world by storm! Her debut single, “High Maintenance,” was released in October of 2022, and she’s released five other songs since then, with an EP coming out in August of this year!

  • Review: "Silence Me (To Death)" - Daimy Lotus

    Silence is deafening. There is nothing worse or more annoying than receiving the silent treatment from someone who is supposed to care about you. When you spend a lot of time with someone, it's inevitable that you'll have an argument or some kind of conflict at some point in your relationship. The best thing you could possibly do is sit down and talk about it; communication is key to a healthy and honest bond. The wrong thing to do, would be to just ignore them, or gaslighting their feelings and pretend like nothing happened. "Silence Me (To Death)" by Daimy Lotus is about what we'd all like to say to those toxic people who have shut down our feelings and shut us out completely. Written about an old college friendship, Daimy has had enough with the lack of communication in her relationships. While talking about the release, Daimy explains that being given the silent treatment is one of her biggest pet peeves. She finds it important to feel seen and heard, as we all should. She wrote this song as an outlet for her anger, and now we have the honor of hearing this insanely incredible pop rock anthem. Not only are the lyrics super relatable, but the soundscape is highly addicting. Daimy has such a strong and emotional voice, and paired with the edgy punk influence instrumentation, "Silence Me (To Death)" is the ultimate banger of the year. Daimy Lotus is a pop and alternative Dutch singer/songwriter. Reigning from the Netherlands, Daimy uses rock and punk to amp up her otherwise modern pop sound and uses themes like heartbreak and mental health to write relatable and emotional masterpieces. Daimy is a natural born performer and has been singing since early childhood. She began writing songs and released her first EP, "15", at the young age of 18. Since 2017, she began collaborating and writing songs for other artists as well. She's played on some of the biggest stages and sold out shows in the Netherlands and has played at festivals in over 20 different cities. Daimy has released two other singles this year, "Enemy" and "Stairway To Hell". If you loved "Silence Me (To Death)", make sure to give those a listen as well!

  • Review: "C'est La Vie" - Banners

    Maybe it's strange to point this out, but there is no cynical twist to the gentle optimist of Banners' latest single. "C'est La Vie" is a charming dose of jaunty pop as unburdened as the titular expression. Where it seems extremely on-trend as of late to bend saccharine phrasing into something jaded and sour, Michael Nelson (the driving force behind Banners) refreshingly delivers warmth and levity without irony or punchline. In some ways that makes it feel as though the music was excavated from a time capsule; the sweet acoustic strumming and tape-saturated piano keys are timeless foundations in singer/songwriter music. The directness of Nelson's vocal performance, especially as he croons "I've go you," holding onto the last vowel sound, lends it the feeling of campfire tunes. Melodically, "C'est La Vie" has the stickiness to bring a crowd of voices together to sing along. Cute, off-kilter production choices give the song a unique flavor, like a charmingly crooked-toothed smile. Nelson's best lyrics deliver simple expressions of love, unmediated by self-conscious qualification. "All I gotta hear at night, is you love me." Lesser artists might feel the need to adorn these devotions with superfluous layers of anguish. But even as Nelson writes on negativity ("When I talk to strangers it's in a language that nobody speaks,") his intentions remain clear and unmoored. Life is unequivocally better with you in it. Stuck in the back of a long line, he finds a silver lining: "It's alright 'cos I'm standing here just thinking of you." Even if it takes forever, he shrugs it off. "Well that's just life." That is life—a long queue, an empty bank account, a painful shyness—but if you keep your eye on the ball, Banners suggests, the background fades away. Music has been apart of Banners aka Michael Nelson's life from an early age. Performing in Liverpool Cathedral's choir since the age of seven, Nelson grew into singing with professional control and passion. Eventually working as an assistant at the well-renowned Parr Street Studios. After a trip to Canada with his father, infamous record producer Ken Nelson, Banners' demos came into the hands of Stephen Kozmeniuk. The two forged a partnership, leading to Nelson's debut under the Banners moniker. Most well-known for the viral "Someone To You," Banners has racked up over a billion streams, played on Jimmy Kimmel, and launched a new chapter with Nettwerk.

  • Review: "Rib Cage" - Zoe Ko

    Zoe Ko’s “Rib Cage” is a poignant piece on being homesick for a partner, not a place. “Rib Cage” is Zoe’s latest single off her upcoming EP set to release in November of this year. Zoe speaks from her experience with a nomadic life and her divorced parents. She begins the song by delving into her homesickness and how she misses things she never had. Zoe compares her emotions to packing and unpacking a house, and says she goes through places so fast she can never truly feel at home. Then in the pre-chorus, she remarks on this “disease” she’s caught, which brings her a fever and a headache that never leaves. It’s the chorus where she names the “disease” as homesickness. She says she’s “emotionally homeless”, and she can’t find a place for her heart. She uses a complex simile to compare her partner’s body parts to a bedroom, with their ribcage as a closet and their lungs as her pillow. Zoe says that she’s almost nostalgic for her partner since she knows them so well. As the backing track deepens in the second verse, she makes even more comparisons relating to her bedroom. Zoe says that when she’s “cleaning out the memories”, she loses things that she wants to keep. She makes a clear reference to the saying “blood’s thicker than water” with her lyric “water’s more precious than blood”, meaning that the people she meets are more meaningful to her than her family. This lesson taught her to be flexible, but not trusting. As the backing track gets even heavier, she paints a picture of a house with her partner, and ends the song by saying “when I’m in your arms/it’s the only thing I see.” The song starts out with simple and mellow instrumentation, with just a dreamy guitar and her vocals. She uses this same instrumentation through the first verse, pre-chorus, and chorus. But just as the listeners become familiar with the sound, Zoe switches up the vibe in the second verse, utilizing a soft rock influence with a classic kick and snare beat. She switches up the vibe again for the outro, with a distorted guitar, heavy drums, strong background harmonies, and a large build-up in sound. But as she says “it’s the only thing I see” for the second and last time, the sound takes a step back to highlight Zoe’s vocals. Zoe showcases her powerhouse vocals throughout the whole entire song, but especially in the outro. Her vocals are so smooth and she belts with ease. The main genre of the song is pop, but there are influences of alternative music and indie pop that shine through. Music has always been a part of Zoe’s life, but she began her music industry career at 19 years old. She is an NYC-based singer-songwriter, and she has already amassed great success. Her debut single, “Line”, garnered over 415k streams in the first year, and landed her on multiple Spotify editorial playlists, like Fresh Find ‘Class of 22’ and Young & Free. Her second release, “Til U”, also landed her on Spotify’s New Music Friday playlist. Her third single, “Lovesick in Public”, gained much social media attention, even before its release. “Lovesick in Public” has almost 1 million streams currently, and was placed on many of Spotify and Apple Music’s editorial playlists upon its release as well. With Zoe’s upcoming EP to streaming services in November, Zoe will continue to show the world her great vocals and songwriting skills. Written By Lauren DiGiovanni FOLLOW Zoe Ko:
