“Breathe” is Anna-Sophie’s latest release, it’s a pop love song that manages to maintain the light tone expected from its title while still surprising the audience with darker subject matter. It’s not a love story, it's a song about the emotion itself, particularly its intensity with certain people. The way in which you fall first, enjoying the adrenaline of the drop and then the realization as it goes further and further that you may not make it back. A sense of suffocation is clearly a prevalent theme in the song, often used to describe a fear of commitment is this sense of being trapped, but here, Anna-Sophie turns the metaphor into a sense of being suffocated by the passion of the relationship, the overwhelming love for this person not a lack thereof. The song begins with an electric beat, Anna-Sophie’s voice joining it early on. Her voice has a slight raspiness that makes it naturally sound suited to the more serious themes she writes of. She follows the original beat for only a moment before the music slows and she begins singing of the first spark of these emotions. Where one would normally state “falling in love” she says “falling apart”, an expression of how these emotions can feel in the moment, as if they are literally tearing you apart, and how they can affect you in the long run. After this line, the music picks up and the chorus begins. Here, Anna-Sophie screams the lyrics as if she truly hasn’t been able to breathe. This makes for an incredible listen as well as a show of her vocal ability. She repeats it a few times, and on its last run slowly recites the lyrics at the start, as if truly asking the audience “How am I supposed to breathe?” Anna-Sophie is a pop artist currently based in St. Gallen, Switzerland. She grew up in the countryside where she learned how to control and manage her voice, singing like a professional as a young child. She’s been a prominent name in the industry since she was discovered by the Global Rockstar team in 2019. Shortly after this, in 2020, would be her first release “Bad Habits”, which introduced her audience to the edgy love song she’s so known for today. In the three years following, Anna-Sophie released sixteen singles, her most popular of these having gained millions of streams on Spotify. Now, she holds tens of thousands of followers on Instagram and has “Breathe” set to be another hit. Stream it and follow Anna-Sophie below. Written By Hailey Schap FOLLOW ANNA-SOPHIE:

There's nothing worse than realizing that someone who is supposed to be your friend, really isn't. Especially when we're young, we're easier to manipulate; but there always comes a time when we snap out of it and know it's time to throw away all that toxic energy and behavior. Friends are supposed to be there for you and help you when you're feeling down, not be the one to kick you down and make you feel stupid. "Things You Never Said" by Hello Sister is about that moment when you find out your "friend" isn't exactly who they portrayed themselves to me. The intro of "Things You Never Said" begins with beautifully haunting harmonies and then quickly jumps into a heavy, high energy punk rock song. With Scarlett on drums, Gabriella on guitar and Grace being the lead singer/bassist and keyboardist, this song is filled with instrumentation, raw talent and emotion that will knock your socks off. "Things You Never Said" gives off a "don't mess with me" type of vibe and has a really strong, distorted groove that is bound to captivate you throughout the entire duration of the song. The members of Hello Sister are rockstars and they've proven it. Hello Sister is a pop/rock and punk trio band consisting of the three teenage sisters, Grace, Gabriella and Scarlett.

"Drown" is the latest single from the alt rock band OCEXNS. Listeners will easily get lost in the track, due to its electric instrumentals and emotional subject matter. While having a high powered track, the band is still able to tackle emotional subject matter in the lyrics. The song speaks about the band's singer Ross and his battle with mental health. More than just speaking about his mental health the lyrics also open up and reveal how the coping mechanisms one can use, can only further one down a toxic path. The track specifically touches on using alcohol as a coping mechanism for a hard time, and reveals to listeners that such vices are not the answer. "Drown" has a very firmiliar but unqiue sound. The sound is very reflective of the alternative rock and pop scenes, providing all the great elements listeners love from those genres. While using these genres as references the track still has elements that make it its own authentic track among the masses. One of the most notable elements in making "Drown" authentic is the song's voice and story. The story is in no way vapid and is a vulnerable look at the struggles humans face. With a narrative that most listeners can find relatability in, and an amazing guitar hook, "Drown" is a must listen. OCEXNS is a band based in the UK. Its members are Ross Mitchell (vocals and guitar), Brendan Quirke (drums), Cameron McKendrick (guitar), and Cameron Higgins (bass). Together with their creative energies the band creates music that listeners can easily get lost in. Their melodies and guitar hooks easily suck listeners in, and create a moment of escapism. The band has just released debuted their own work in March of 2023. They first made a statement with their debut single, "Under the Wire," which revealed their sound to audiences. Since then the band has released "Drown," which proved to be just as exciting as their first single. Written By Alison Holst FOLLOW OCEXNS: *Sponsored Post - Discovered on Musosoup.

The journey of falling in love with someone is probably one of the most exciting and thrilling experiences you get have in your lifetime. A very common first date is sitting in a car, driving around and just talking so you can spend some time getting to know each other. There's nothing like being in the passenger seat, looking over at the driver, and getting those butterflies in your stomach because they could possibly be the one you want to spend the rest of your life with. "Drive With You" by ZIAH is a pop anthem about finding the person you've been looking for and all the moments that make you realize just how hard you're falling for them; like the late night drives you have together, and spending all of your time wanting to be by their side. This song is very pop-hit radio worthy. The bass and beat have the most captivating groove. The instrumentation is overall pretty simplistic, but in the best way possible because it helps ZIAH's vocals and the bassline stand out the most. ZIAH's strong, yet soft vocal tone is the star of the show as she carries us through this unbelievably catchy jam. There's even some very melodic and ear-catching guitar moments every time ZIAH sings "Where have you been before this?". The flow and production of this song make it impossible not to move your body to. It is literally the perfect song to be blasting during late night Summer drives with the windows down. ZIAH is a pop singer who currently lives in Los Angeles, California. Her sound is a mixture of modern pop and dance with her own alternative twists, with songs about her own personal and raw life experiences. Her career debuted in 2020 when she did a collaboration with Kat Nova, called "Ocean Love". She then went on to release her solo debut single, "West Side Story" in 2021. ZIAH has been consistently releasing singles and collaborations since, and plans on releasing her debut EP soon. Written By Kaitlyn Nicole FOLLOW ZIAH:

The outdoor thermometer in my car reached 115 degrees Fahrenheit as my dad and I parked in front of the outdoor Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre in Phoenix. Being born and raised in Arizona, and being a seasoned concert-goer, I’ve never shied away from facing the heat to see a show. Luckily, my dad is my favorite concert buddy and he never says no to a little live music. We’ve both been fans of Fall Out Boy for as long as we can remember. My brother is five years older than me and grew up at the height of emo music. Because of this, I grew up listening to whatever he was playing on his iPod Classic, FOB included. I was too young to be a super devoted fan when they went on their hiatus in 2009, but by the time they reunited in 2013, I was discovering my own emo bands to listen to. Save Rock and Roll was one of the first albums I truly fell in love with as I started exploring this genre of music and figuring out my music taste for myself. Since then, FOB has never released an album that’s fallen short of expectations. All of their releases have that signature Fall Out Boy sound that fans love. When they released So Much (for) Stardust earlier this year and announced this tour, I couldn’t have been more excited. I’ve seen them live numerous times throughout the years and they have always put on a phenomenal show. The concert started a few minutes late, but the wait was well worth it. The Brooklyn-based duo Daisy Grenade came out on stage with Riot, a song from their 2022 EP Cult Classic. Their entire set was a flurry of their signature riot grrl style. They are defined as a “power punk bubble grunge band,” and this could not be a more perfect description of their sound. I'd never heard of this group before, but I loved every moment of their set. Their interactions with the crowd made things even more exciting and kept everyone wanting more. When researching them later, I learned that they're mentored by Pete Wentz, FOB’s bassist and “THE emo prince of our generation.” This only makes their musicianship and stage presence more spectacular and ties them into the tour perfectly. Daisy Grenade onstage Next on the lineup was another band I’d never heard of, Royal and the Serpent. Fronted by Ryan Santiago, an LA-based singer-songwriter, Royal and the Serpent is a blend of indie and electro-pop with a classic pop-punk undertone. With Santiago’s dreamy vocals and a thrilling guitar section, they kept the audience captivated with every song. This was only amplified when they broke out into a cover of Nirvana’s Smells Like Teen Spirit. With only one song left, they closed out their set with a rock version of their 2020 hit Overwhelmed. Visual display for Royal and the Serpent I was disappointed to find out that Bring Me The Horizon would not be playing that night. I’ve been a fan of them since 2012, but it’s been at least eight years since I last saw them live and I was so ready to relive the magic of their set. However, due to an unforeseen family emergency, it was announced that they could not play that night and would resume the tour the next night in Chula Vista, California. Soon, it was time for Fall Out Boy to come on. I had seen them at this same venue back in 2015 when they went on their MonumenTour with Paramore and New Politics. Upon research for this review, I learned that it was also where they recorded their first live album, Live in Phoenix back in 2007. This only added to the magic as they commanded the stage with Love From The Other Side, the lead single from their latest album. The stage lit up with pyrotechnics and an explosion of sound that the audience loved from start to finish. There were cleverly placed set pieces and props that amplified the band’s already dominating stage presence. Fall Out Boy onstage They played a blend of new songs, like Fake Out and Hold Me Like A Grudge, and their classic hits, including Dance, Dance, Thnks Fr Th Mmrs, and Centuries. FOB was also celebrating the 20th anniversary of their debut album Take This to Your Grave and they played the lesser-known Homesick at Space Camp from that album for the first time since 2013. At one point, frontman Patrick Stump took to the piano to sing Spotlight (Oh Nostalgia) live for the first time ever. The band then played a cover of Journey’s Don’t Stop Believin’, electrifying the summer air even more. Patrick Stump on stage From there, they played Save Rock and Roll, after which Wentz stood atop the piano, pulling a cloth over himself and magically disappearing. The lights went out, and seconds later, Wentz was across the venue in front of the sound tech board. The audience was amazed, and no one knew exactly how he did it. This was truly a testament to how they are constantly upping the ante of their live shows. By the end, fans were left with the satisfying feeling of nostalgia and adrenaline. As we exited the venue, the red curtains closed and a cursive “The End” spotlight appeared while an orchestral version of So Much (for) Stardust played us out. My dad and I had the best time, and we’re both counting down the days for them to return. I love writing about them almost as much as I love hearing them play, and I can’t wait for the opportunity to do both again.

Have you ever had a day where you needed to step away from your regular busy schedule and just go somewhere else to let your mind breathe? Especially when we overwork ourselves, sometimes our brain shuts down completely once we finally have a moment where we have nothing to do. You begin to zone out, or your mind wanders to other places. In her song "Like I Care", Nikita Lev describes the nonchalant thoughts on a rainy day in New York City as she just wanders around in a careless, "out of it" type of mood. Its good to take a break every once in a while, but at the same time, taking too much time alone with just you and your thoughts can get out of control. In the lyric video, Nikita takes us on a quiet, solo journey. The music style is soft; it's very folk in nature and reminds me of the folklore/evermore albums by Taylor Swift. The guitar pattern is stunning and emotional; it also feels like it could've been part of The Hunger Games movie soundtrack. The lyrics start with a very relatable kind of situation. "This is to the stranger who passed me the other day / While I was sitting wasting away / On a New York park bench. You said some things on the phone / couldn’t catch 'em all / But I hope your mom’s feeling well." We're all guilty of overhearing conversations in the public, maybe trying just a little too hard to listen. The story continues as Nikita films raw footage of her day all alone until she is walking the streets at nighttime, still surrounded by strangers which really matches what the song is about well. Nikita Lev is a New York City native artist who just recently moved to Los Angeles, California. Although she sets no boundaries for the type of music she makes, she best describes her sound as indie folk/rock with a voice compared to artists like Lana Del Rey and Phoebe Bridgers. She grew up in a family of music lovers and classical performers, learning how to play the flute and piano at a very young age. By the age of ten, she was also playing the guitar and writing songs. To date, Nikita has written over 200 original songs that we've yet to hear. "Like I Care" is her second officially released single, her debut single being "Elegance" that released earlier this year. Just two weeks ago, Nikita released her third single, "Nothing Has Changed" and she plans to release at least one more single as well as her first full EP soon.

With Myra Molloy’s “Tear Me Up”, she delves into harmful inner dialogues and self-esteem issues with alternative pop and electronica sounds. The single, which was co-written and co-produced alongside artist SANDY, was released on June 28, 2023. The song was inspired by both Myra and SANDY’s experiences of Grammy week in Los Angeles and the social pressures that come along with it. In the first verse, Myra talks about her distressing thoughts and how they control her. She knows not to let others treat her in such a way, but she treats herself badly all of the time. Right before the chorus, she says that “it would be so easy” if she could take a breath and let go, but she can’t. Then in the chorus, the title is explained: she tears her own self-esteem up and turns a blind eye to it, but she’s losing her mind while doing it. Myra adds more depth to her story in the second verse, explaining that others contribute to her pain and self-deprecation. She tries not to pay attention to it, but she’s losing herself “so casually”. She then repeats the chorus twice, further insinuating the fact that she’s tearing herself up. Myra’s sound in “Tear Me Up” is vastly different from commercial pop, but it acts as a breath of fresh air. She utilizes a heavy digitized and electronic sound that contrasts her lyrics greatly. The lyrics would suggest that she would take a more “tried and true” route for her instrumentation, but her chosen sound elevates the song greatly. Her verses feature a simpler, lighter accompaniment while her chorus uses a complex and dark synthesized beat. In Myra and SANDY’s production, different vocal modulations and techniques contribute to the electronica sound and create depth for the song. They also use various sound effects to make a unique sound. Myra Molloy is a Thai-American singer, songwriter, actress, and producer at only 25 years old. She won the first season of Thailand’s Got Talent at 13 years old in 2011. Myra also has a developed career as an actress. Myra was featured in the US tour of Miss Saigon and played “Quinn” in the Netflix film He’s All That in 2021. She also was in HBO Asia’s Halfworlds 2 as “Wish”, where she co-wrote and performed multiple songs for the show. In 2016, she was cast as the Thai dub of “Moana” in Moana, and was also featured on the award-winning soundtrack. Currently, Myra has 50,000 monthly listeners with over 3.5 million streams on Spotify. Written By Lauren DiGiovanni FOLLOW Myra Molloy:

Aliana Lohan eloquently tells the story of overwhelming, incomparable love in her latest single, “All Around Me.” The high-energy pop track expresses the “immense power of love” through its hopeless romantic lyrics. Lohan tells her partner that she seems them through everything—in the clouds, in the rain, in the changing leaves. Their love is so powerful and strong that even when they are apart, Lohan can still feel their presence. The lyrics beautifully depicts a type of love that many people spend years searching for and few truly find. This is a love that is so pure and so full of devotion, that the couple cannot help but feel engulfed in their admiration. “All Around Me” is an otherworldly dance-pop track with a romantic narrative that is destined to dominate the charts. “All Around Me” is an infectious love song with an 80s pop influence that showcase Lohan’s undeniable talent. The song kicks off with low synth sounds on the keyboard before subtle synth waves build into the first verse. Lohan’s powerful vocals lead the song with layered effects that create an echo-like whisper in the background. As the song continues, drums with a gated reverb are introduced that enhance the intensity of the production. In the pre-chorus, a guitar riff is played at the beginning and the end of each line, bringing an emphasis to the empowering lyrics. Synthwave toms are used to introduce the energetic, lively production of the chorus. While the guitar riff continues, additional guitar chords are added, and the beat becomes more prevalent. In the background, a bass and the echoing vocals are heard, rounding out the full production. The immensely dynamic soundscape makes “All Around Me” a flawless dance-pop track that listeners will play on an endless loop, making it the perfect summer anthem. Aliana Lohan is a singer, songwriter, model, and actress. She has been in the music industry for over a decade but has recently rebranded her music and sound to match her current style. In 2021, she released the first of her new era of music with her single, “Without You.” Then on her birthday in 2022, she released the follow-up single, “Already Home.” “All Around Me” marks her third single while she works on her upcoming EP. Her musical inspiration ranges between artists such as Pat Benatar, Celine Dion, and Cyndi Lauper with a mix of influences from Taylor Swift and Pink. With a combination of “catchy rhythms and soulful sounds,” Lohan’s style has often deemed her as an “old soul,” making her music timeless and unforgettable. Aside from her music career, Lohan also has acting credits to her name. Most recently, she starred alongside her sister, Lindsay Lohan, in the 2022 Netflix Original Holiday Rom-Com, Falling for Christmas. Written By Karlee Skipper FOLLOW ALIANA:

You might feel that, sometimes, it’d just be easier, better, and way less of a headache if you were dead. In Julianna Joy’s latest single “DEAD!” Joy combines introspection with a catchy beat, singing about that all-too-common feeling when the ennui and apathy sets in after life’s trials. “DEAD!” is a funky, melancholic song that details a tale of languishing in heartbreak, stress, and anxiety. It’s about that morose feeling you get when everything that’s happened so far washes over you and you just think that you’d be much better off if you were dead, rather than dealing with everything else; simply laying in your bed, overthinking, and being so, so over it. “DEAD!” combines a layering of synth and percussion (with the occasional ticking and ringing clock) with expert lyricism and vocal talents to create one hauntingly upbeat yet somber song that flows through your headphones like water. While Joy may begin the song and each verse softly, the chorus always comes along with these eclectic highs and lows, bips and bops, that weave throughout the entire song. Here, the chorus is the true star of the show as, when each verse comes to a head, Joy begins to sing “I’m better off dead,” repeating “dead” over and over again until it becomes so cyclical, so constant, that the word nearly loses all meaning. Like its instrumentals, the song’s lyrics are fun yet unfailingly raw– one particularly poignant line describes a phone as a “waiting room,” which evoked such relatable imagery to me, seeing a phone as not an object but a physical place that a person relies on while the the midst of a rough time, waiting for a message, a call. The song has plenty more lyrics that elicit remarkably vivid scenes, and combined with Joy’s masterful lyricism and diverse instrumentals, it is clear to see why “DEAD!” is such a bop. Julianna Joy describes herself as an “author who happens to have musical abilities.” She’s written music all throughout her teenage years and eventually released her very first single at age 14, entitled “Close Enough.” In February 2020, after spending some time in the summer of 2019 in LA recording her first EP, “Cherries'' was released to great success– one track in particular, “Cherry Bomb,” currently sits at nearly 4 million plays on Spotify to date. Joy’s musical stylings are a mixture of genres that have influenced her over the years: alternative rock, country, and, of course, any and all kinds of pop, but every single song she produces contains straight-from-the-heart lyrical prose accompanied by a silky and ethereal voice; no matter the topic, Joy manages to create music that seems as if placed in a gilded frame: decadent with description and liquid-smooth sounds. Currently, “Garden of Eden” is Joy’s latest album release from February 2022 and “DEAD!” is her newest single of 2023. Joy’s music is personal and dreamy– I cannot wait to see what else she has in store! Written By Alexa Leung FOLLOW JULIANNA JOY:

It's pretty common to think about what it's going to look like when we die. Not for us, but for everyone losing us. "Until I End Up Dead," the latest single from Dream, approaches the subject from a similar internal projection. It's sound calls to mind dance-pop of the late-2000's, but where that era felt eternally and consequentially locked in the present moment "Until I End Up Dead" haunts the space from a place of impermanence. Warped synth loops illuminate the melody like glow-in-dark paint over a familiar mural. Vocal delay over his voice singing the titular phrase is like an afterimage. The single conveys passion through the colorful dance-pop, but lets the lightest rays of somberness filter through. The most effective lyrics lean on Dream's specificity to convey feelings. The singer-songwriter has an interesting way of writing around a subject. The song primarily engages with the loss of human life at two different points in his life, but Dream focuses his lens on the peripheral details. Rather than distracting or blurring from the thematic center, this approach serves to enhance it. The perspective of youth—experiencing so much for the very first time—is neatly packed into the memory of "cryin' the first time I ever wore a suit." The closeness to his present experiences with loss implies a sort of reverberation, like he's only now coming to understand what it meant to him before. There are suggestions at internal dread ("now I fear that one day I'm gonna disappear"), but their acknowledgement is sung with acceptance and not turmoil. "Until I End Up Dead" purges itself of nihilistic instincts. Instead, it's about living life with the knowledge of death. Knowing the inevitable— experiencing the inevitable in loved ones means nothing if we don't make the moments before worthwhile. 2021 saw internet content creator, Dream, reintroduce himself as a musical artist, generating millions of streams. The Florida-born singer-songwriter takes particular pride in his modern storytelling, which first gained him a following on youtube. His love for narrative originally inspired him towards a future writing, though no one could predict the unorthodox avenues he would bring his passion down. "Until I End Up Dead" is his first single in 2 years, after his initial release of three singles "Roadtrip,"Mask," and "Change My Clothes." He will be releasing more singles as a part of a series for Republic Records in the near future. Written By Andy M. FOLLOW Dream:
