“Made Of Love” is the heartfelt new single from Seafret’s latest album, Wonderland. The song is inspired by more than one thing in the band’s life. However, lead singer, Jack Sedman, allows this song to take on a deeper meaning in relation to the passing of his beloved grandmother. Regarding the song, Sedman has said, “When I listen to it, it reminds me of a close family, and of big starry skies.” The song details a type of love that is full of comfort and warmth, even on the darkest winter nights. Although the lyrics indicate more of a romantic relationship, the song can be applied to any type of love: romantic, familial, and platonic. In the chorus, he sings, “I'm sure that I'm feelin' more than a feelin'// I hope you feel the same way too// I'm only being all I can be// And you know it's all because of you // When the stars come out to shine, I think of you here by my side// I never realized that it was written in the sky.” This all leads into the post-chorus that contains the hook: “We’re made of love// We’re made of love.” These lyrics reveal this beautiful romance that was written in the stars. When they look into the beautiful starry night, they think of the person they cherish. Our world is vast, and the universe is bigger. Through all of the trials and tribulations of life, they were brought together by some happenstance. Their love was destined to bloom. The sweet, sentimental lyrics throughout “Made Of Love” flawlessly expresses this notion and provides the picture-perfect love song for any occasion. “Made Of Love” consists of a soothing production that evokes feelings of serenity and comfort within the listener. The light piano kicks off the song with soft synth sound effects in the background. On the piano, a high note is played to keep the beat as the track continues into the verse. When the chorus begins, the tempo increases as Sedman hits flawless falsettos that perfectly blend with the high notes on the piano. In the background, the airy synth waves continue to provide an ethereal atmosphere to the track. In the second verse, the original production found in the beginning returns with the addition of the soft, steady drums. Furthermore, an angelic guitar strums away in the background, providing an extra level to the whimsical production. The second chorus brings back the previous production, while incorporating the new inclusion of the drums and guitar, highlighting the complex dynamic of the track. The song reaches the emotional peak in the bridge. The tempo increases as the guitar and drums become more prominent. Sedman’s compelling vocals leads the listener through the sentimental message, emphasizing the vulnerability the band is showcasing. This point in the song feels like the cinematic climax of a heart wrenching movie, as this passionate scene plays in the listener’s mind. It is the moment in a film when the main protagonist is about to get the girl; the hero is about to save the day; the doctor is about to bring someone back to life. The audience shakes in anticipation as they wait to see how the story unfolds. This is the exact feeling the band evokes in their listeners when they listen to “Made Of Love.” After the bridge, the song returns to the mellow production for the final chorus, providing a calming conclusion to the story, before the track fades out. Seafret effortlessly captivates listeners with the passionate storytelling in “Made Of Love,” proving once again that they are an undeniable force to be reckoned with within the music industry.

Getting into a relationship is hard; but staying in a relationship is arguably harder. Sometimes we get so caught up in the fact that we’ve done the impossible and landed ourselves in a relationship, that we forget to nurture the relationship itself. In order to know how to nurture a relationship, the partners involved need to communicate their desires and needs. As easy as this sounds, communicating your emotional needs and hearing out your partner’s can be difficult to perform. Jacob Frohde’s “Let Me Talk” explicitly demonstrates how difficult this can be when young and in love. Listen to "Let Me Talk" by Jacob Frohde here. “Let Me Talk” is a soulful plea to communicate within a straining relationship. The single begins with a soft piano melody that sets a serious mood. In the opening verse, listeners hear two separate admissions from the artist. The first eludes to how young couples forget to work on the connection at hand once they’ve found themselves within a committed relationship. While the second admission describes how the physical distance the relationship experienced was worsen by the fact that they were unreachable. It paints a vivid picture of how careless in love we tend to be when we’re young – even forgetting to do the smallest of gestures just to remind our partner how much we adore them. Frohde recognizes just how this carelessness has taken its toll and vocalizes a moving plea to communicate in the chorus with the hopes of restoring the connection. But his rising vibrato in the second verse where he professes: “So if you wanna make it work, I'll put in the work / So say where you hide the dirt, and I'll mend the hurt / I don't care where you have been, who have touched your skin / If you let me in”, is the appeal that’s bound to make their partner hear them out, and melt listeners' hearts. This all builds to a grand finale of incredible instrumental arrangements while Frohde gives us a gospel-like experience with his remarkable vocal delivery. “Let Me Talk” is a simple reminder that relationships require continual effort throughout; and an essential part of that effort lies in communicating feelings grounded in both bliss and discontent. Jacob Frohde is a Sweden-based singer, songwriter, and musician. The artist is a self-taught pianist and has been playing the guitar since the age of eight. An impressive feat considering how difficult chordophones can be. Frohde’s been releasing music since 2019; his debut single “Cigarettes for Minors” was released in December of 2019 and has amassed over a million streams. Frohde’s discography envelopes listeners in emotional ballads and catchy confessionals, leaving them eager for more. If you’ve enjoyed the artist’s appeal to communicate in relationships as much as I have, show them some virtual love in the form of streams, likes, and follows.

Photo credit: Ricky Johnson Apartment 414, the physical space that is, represents a sort of memorial for Bradley Kim’s ex. Filled with memories and tangible reminders of their relationship, it’s the last thing standing following the breakup. “Apartment 414”, Kim’s latest release, is a goodbye letter to this space, and it turn, to the ex. The idea of moving on is often sped up, seen as merely a day where one wakes up and is suddenly apathetic to the one they once loved. Apathy is not necessary for resolution, though, as Bradley Kim explains. He discusses his feelings, how he misses them, how hard it is to move on, and then he does anyway. Apartment 414 may be locked behind him now, but in his ability to sit in the “apartment” and live in his feelings of loss, Kim is able to create a cathartic and touching story lost on those who reject their natural sentimentality. At the start of the song, Bradley Kim begins singing in a seemingly empty space. One scattered tone echoes his voice in the background. But as he starts elaborating, building the imagery of this apartment, the music seamlessly picks up behind him. He sings in simple statements, ones that can be broken down easily. It is in this way that he can truthfully explain his emotions, which he told the listener from the very first line of the song he intended to do. “I don’t pretend that it’s easy doing life alone.” he stated with complete transparency. The song continues to follow this theme, describing details that live within the walls of 414 while Bradley displays his incredible vocals. The instrumentals have a mostly modern sound, except, when the music swells in the chorus and the more emotional portions of the piece. Here, an electric guitar and traditional percussion can be heard. It is with those, that the listener has now come to associate with intense feelings, and the note “leaving apartment 414” that the song comes to a close. Bradley Kim, though born into a life not seemingly meant for music, has discovered it and his potential through a variety of experiences, each step bringing him closer to the incredible ability he reveals today. He was born outside of Seattle, to a military family. He played sports in school and followed the path of those before him in serving, in his case in the air force. But, along this starkly contrasting road, he found music. To perfect his “promposal" to a friend who had her own passion for music, Bradley taught himself ukulele and in this act, taught himself how much he loved creating and performing. Later, he met another friend with this passion, he would go on to create and release his first original song with him. Balancing his responsibility to the military, his music career, and the breakup with his boyfriend of three and a half years is what has brought us “Apt 414”. A song written from his personal experience, as many of his others have been, and one of his favorites. Go stream "Apt 414" now, and follow Bradley Kim’s socials below to see where he takes this theme of balance, heartache, and continuing on through it all. Written By Hailey Schap FOLLOW BRADLEY:

It is human nature during times of misery to entertain slightly selfish desires. Sometimes these feelings are simpler to contend with and accept, like hoping that the person you long for misses you back. On Rowan Drake's latest single, "Part of You," the LA-based singer/songwriter gives himself the grace to express these desires for shared pain. Through reverb-soaked guitars and an atmospheric soundscape, Drake pulls together a crushingly intimate song nestled between moments of loss and progress. The mix is sparse, allowing for each sonic nuance to land with full force. Haunting, delicate, and gorgeous—"Part of You" is the sound of being left out in the cold. "I may regret saying this tomorrow," Drake admits after letting himself be a little bit selfish. Drake's songwriting is intensely focused, like he's writing every word from a single moment. The variations between lines sharpens the broader themes into tangible subjects. As a talented vocalist, he's able to render jaded lyrics in peculiar shades of blue. "Hope you think of me when you make love to somebody new, / and it feels like something's missing he's touching you," may read bitter, but Drake wields them like confessions. Managing the pain of a breakup, he catches himself hoping his ex misses him the way he does. These brief moments of insecurity are processed in "Part of You" as natural products of grief. Sometimes you wonder whether misery really does love company. Rowan Drake grew up surrounded by music, but he dedicated himself to songwriting at the age of fifteen. After a car accident ended his dream of competitive snowboarding, music became an outlet and exciting new horizon for him. After graduating High School, where he self-released his first song, Drake packed his car and left New York for Los Angelos. There, he signed to Atlantic Records and began his professional career as a singer and songwriter. Consistently releasing music, Drake is hard at work preparing for the release of his debut EP this year. His hope for his music, as he states, is to provide space for the emotions we've locked away.

Sam Short’s “Hooked” is audible representation for our intrusive thoughts. The dark monologue is reminiscent of the things we only allow ourselves to know, and are afraid to proclaim to the world. Many people walk around with a fake smile and a permanent script about how life is fantastic and they’ve never been happier. All the while, life can knock you down over and over, and it’s important to feel safe sharing you need help. We all suffer from those chilling intrusions that we quickly erase and try to forget about, but being able to admit our divergence from normality is the first step in taking back the power of your mind. Healing is not linear; healing is not easy; healing is your journey to take and yours to be proud of with every small win. Struggling with your mental health should never ever be something to be embarrassed about. You are never alone in feeling alone. If we walked around with magic lenses to see the soul of every person we crossed, our self-judgment and crisis for identity would vastly improve when we realized they're just like us. Everyone has a true self with true doubts and true fears that they are pushing down, but the sooner we admit we are not this intangible perfect being, we level up to be the person we are, and that is the moment we begin to truly live and be proud of our past because it allowed us to open up to the world, and most importantly, ourselves. Sam Short gives her listeners a safe space to expose their inner demons, admit the hard truth that everything is not okay, and find solace and camaraderie with the hundreds of thousands of souls who are listening right now, feeling the exact same way. “Hooked” is a moody alt-pop song that gives us a glimpse into Sam Short’s diary of her mind. She wrote this song as someone who struggles with OCD, and she wanted to turn her dark inner thoughts into a song to help others. Listeners are able to ride along the common journey of spiraling, negative thoughts, and we get an accurate peak into the head of someone who is struggling. It’s incredibly essential to be able to openly speak about our grapple with mental health, and in today’s society, it’s astonishingly beautiful that people are using their craft to bring people together and try to save lives. “Hooked” has a cheeky, cynical nature that lets the audience openly scream their struggles and realize everyone has their own, unique battle with mental health issues. Sam wrote this as a song she wished she could’ve heard at her lowest, and now she’s giving us the gift to save it for that really rainy day when we need it most. Sam Short is an Oregon bred, LA based indie-pop singer/songwriter. Sam first made her debut as a solo artist in 2022 with her release of empowerment anthem, “Already Mine,” that went viral on TikTok. She followed that with another viral release about body positivity called “Naked”. This emerging pop artist is using her music to tackle some of life’s biggest challenges that we all face, and she does it in a way where we can openly sing at the top of our lungs to a catchy track that perfectly describes the things we can’t always understand. With millions of views on TikTok and Instagram, Sam secured a spot opening on tour for ELIO last month. Having worked with Travis Barker, MGK, Jesse Rutherford, and more, her talent is magnetic, and she is sure to take the world by storm, and she continues to use her power for the purest form of good and helping thy neighbor. Sam Short is fully tapping into her artistry with her debut, full-length EP to be released this summer, and we can assure you, you’re gonna be hooked! Written By Grace Chapman FOLLOW SAM SHORT:

From the opening moments of "Find You," New Friends release their genre-bending sound in a torrential downpour. The latest single from the Canadian band closes the their latest EP, Camaro , with an explosive declaration of hope after staring into the void of heartbreak throughout the project's three prior tracks. The magical effect parallels the EP's cover art: luminescent fireworks transforming the inky black of night. The anthemic, power pop sound is truly larger-than-life: misty, bright, stark, and overflowing. While satisfying to blast from a distance, it's the depth to its composition and mix that make "Find You" so exquisite on close listens. The guitar work is especially exceptional, providing a versatile undercurrent to the subtle and distinct movements. There's always sonic nuance to delve into as a listener, whether it's the searing buzz of distortion in the pre-chorus or the brilliant, electric guitar riffs in the song's final moments. There is a collage-like quality to the lyrics behind "Find You." Poignant and vivid phrases are linked together in a kaleidoscopic quilt of expression. "Are you hiding? There's so much I know that I want," vocalist Stefan Boulineau seamlessly shifts from belt to croon. If the subject feels vague, like he's singing to the silhouette of someone rather than their face, that's because "Find You" tracks the moment between the end and beginning. After excavating their loss, insecurity, and numbness in the EP's three, prior tracks, New Friends end at the moment when hope creeps back in the door. "Where can I find you?" They ask, though the real miracle is that they're ready to search again. New Friends are a Canadian indie-pop band made up of Stefan Boulineau, Ayden Miller, Cole Wilson, and Conrad Galecki. They debuted with the 2018 single, "Purple Candy," to viral attention and acclaim. While the covid pandemic halted their momentum, the band was able to record and develop as artists, returning with their first live show in 2021. Since then, they've been on a non-stop uprise to their current place at the vanguard of indie-pop. "Find You" has released alongside the EP, Camaro , which follows the endings of a relationship. Honing their chemistry and talent, the relatively new band is proving themselves to possess the talent and perspectives of industry veterans. Written By Andy Mockbee FOLLOW New Friends:

Laura Marano boldly stands up for herself in her clever new single, “Boundaries.” The track is about setting limits for those around you in a dignified effort to preserve individual happiness. In life, especially in the modern technological age, people are often expected to be available to others at all times. This leads to an individual being spread too thin, which results in emotional, and even physical, turmoil. Marano takes this unreasonable expectation and throws it out the window. She wants to be the best version of herself and that is impossible when too much is required of you. In the first pre-chorus, Marano reveals the hook with the lyrics: “I’m learning boundaries// I know it’s my fault that I’m without these// I just wanna make 'em feel happy// But maybe they don’t even care about me, about me.” She acknowledges that she should have had these boundaries up before, but she is adapting and learning. However, she is worried that if she does not give herself up for the people around her, they may fail to show up for her in the end—that they never truly cared. This is a feeling that many people have experienced all too well. They are petrified to put boundaries up, in fear that those whom they love will leave them. But in the end, they know that they are better off without people that take advantage of their people-pleasing tendencies. In the chorus, Marano goes on to explain why being a flexible people-pleaser causes more harm than good. She sings, “I can’t give the best of me// When I’m spread so thin// Everybody wants a piece// That I can’t give to them// Wish that I was better when it came to being friends// 'Cause when they don’t see the best of me// They don’t see me again.” When someone is spread too thin, they are not able to give their full, undivided attention to the situation or task at hand. This results in subpar outcomes and everyone involved is disappointed. Marano is worried that because her friends never get to see the best version of herself—the real version—then they will tire of her and leave. So, to counteract this, setting boundaries will help these relationships, even if it sounds counterintuitive. With “Boundaries,” Marano brilliantly articulates the internal struggle of an anxious people-pleaser when they finally find the courage to protect their heart and happiness. Laura Marano never fails to create infectious songs that contain a complex production and an unforgettable melody. “Boundaries” continues with this creative pattern, exemplifying her outstanding songwriting talent. The song kicks off with a unique intro that instantly catches the listener’s attention. The production is made-up of a rhythmic hand-clap and staggered finger-snaps with a steady bass played in the background. After a couple of measures, Marano’s compelling vocals pick up the melody as the production continues. In the pre-chorus, the finger-snaps remain while the hand-claps cease. In its place, a keyboard is introduced, adding a sultry element to the track. Then, the chorus introduces the full production, bringing back each instrument and adding a classical guitar and a synth beat that helps guide the audience through the vulnerable lyrics. In the post-chorus, Marano beautifully harmonizes with herself, showing off her impressive vocal range. When the bridge hits, she continues with incredible high notes that remind listeners that she is not just a singer, but also a natural performer. Furthermore, the corresponding music video is a brilliantly crafted imagery that brings the song’s message to life. The video shows multiple versions of Marano as plastic dolls. She is seen wearing outfits from her past, including ones from her Disney Channel days and her debut music video while she tries to be comfortable as her current self. She wants to break out of the mold that the industry has set for her, and be who she truly is without the expectations of everyone dragging her down. In the video, her past selves begin to tear her apart, making her into someone she does not recognize. But at the end of the video, the hidden version of herself, breaks through the box that is caging her in and her true self is able to shine through. The last scene shows the newest version of Marano standing confidently with a “Miss Independent” sash. She learned from her past and has grown from it by setting boundaries for those around her. The video perfectly encapsulates the message Marano spreads in the song, making “Boundaries” one of her most brilliantly written projects. Laura Marano is a singer, songwriter, and classically-trained musician. In 2019, Marano dropped her debut EP, Me. Then in 2020, she released her second EP, You. These two projects combine to showcase that “there are always two sides to every story.” In 2021, she released a deluxe version of You. In July 2022, she released the surprising third chapter, Us. Currently, fans anticipate the release of her upcoming debut album. Not only is Marano a skilled artist, she is also a talented actress. She is well-known for her role as Ally in the hit Disney Channel series, Austin & Ally. She has starred in many movies such as The Perfect Date, Saving Zoe, which she also produced, and The War With Grandpa. Her most recent film was 2022’s Netflix Original The Royal Treatment. In 2023, fans will get to watch her in the interactive Netflix Original romantic comedy, Choose Love. The movie will feature two original songs from the actress. Between her music and acting career, Marano has many projects, keeping fans on their toes for her next move. Written By Karlee Skipper FOLLOW LAURA:

Cutting toxic people out of your life is one of the most freeing feelings. You take off the rose-colored glasses and realize just how much that person was holding you back. You now know your worth and won’t let anyone else tear you down. KEHLI’s song, “Dead Body,” is a breath of fresh air in musical form. After going through a breakup, she will do everything in her power to keep her toxic ex out of her life. Every aspect of the song works together to paint a picture of newfound happiness and independence. The overall message of breaking free from something can apply to a variety of other contexts, and I think a lot of listeners will be able to relate to it! The first thing that stood out to me was how the instrumentation builds from the verses to the chorus. The first verse starts out with an edgy electric guitar strum as KEHLI is reflecting on the bad times in her relationship. She sings, “so narcissistic, how did I miss it?” The music begins to change on the phrase, “after all these things you’ve done…” The chorus then bursts forth with a louder guitar, drums, and backup vocals. At the end of the chorus, KEHLI triumphantly declares that she wants her ex back “over my dead body.” Another element of the song that I enjoyed was KEHLI’s vocals. They blended excellently with the instrumentation and you can really hear the raw emotion in her voice. KEHLI is a singer/songwriter from Dublin, Ireland who now resides in London. Her passion for music took hold at a young age when she studied music and dance in stage school. At 14, she competed on The X-Factor and The Voice which built up her fanbase. Since then, it has only grown. Her debut song, “One Last Kiss,” snagged the top 5 spots on several of UK’s club charts. KEHLI has also accumulated 1.1 million streams on Spotify alone! I loved listening to “Dead Body” and can’t wait to see what she comes up with next. Follow all KEHLI’s socials down below to be the first hear about the release of her upcoming EP!

“Fever” is a pop-rock ballad that explores the delicate nature of new relationships and the budding emergence of trust and faith. Once the fever of love is over, you’re left with insecurities despite your strong feelings. Vine inspires you to trod on ahead with excitement even in the face of crises, diligence, and the thin lines you walk on. Without trust in your partner, you would simply be making decisions out of fear, and though maybe you don’t mean for it to be, it’s this lack of trust that actually will lead you to lose what you so want to preserve. “Fever” follows Vine’s style to a t -- the warm acoustic instruments texturized with electronic, industrial, and organic sounds wrapped up with straightforward yet empathetic lyrics. The beautiful acoustics allow the melody to wrap all those that listen in the rush of young love, the gush of emotions that overwhelm you when the spark ignites. Vine’s lyrics are breathtakingly sincere, and the song teeters from an anthemic jam to a thoughtful narrative. Vine’s songwriting guides the audience through his personal beliefs and experience with living his best life. His charismatic voice is intense yet subtle, charming the socks off of all who listen. Born Jonathon Weinreich, Juno Vine has many talents: a musician, producer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist based in Tel Aviv/LA. Growing up in Melville, New York, he moved to Isreal as a kid, leading him to absorb a wide variety of musical styles and cultures in addition to his well of experience in producing and composing for artists, theater, and scores. Originally debuting in 2023, the Isreal-baed newcomer took a two-year hiatus before returning with a bang -- his first full-length album was announced to drop later this year. “Fever” is the first taste of his madness, and we can’t help for hope for more. Vine prides himself on creating music and content dealing with topics like self-esteem, self-criticism, authenticity, fulfillment, and questions about our world's direction.

Alexia Rev empowers herself after a breakup by steering into the skid and allowing herself to feel the negative emotions that come with it. “Something Again” explores the harmful patterns that people fall into when a relationship ends and describes Rev’s own experience. This notion is wrapped up in the hook found in the chorus, when she sings, “I wanna feel something again// Like it was the first time// No I won’t forget// I fell to the bottom// With one dying breath// Now I want to feel something again.” Rev illustrates this dark pit that she fell into when her heart was broken. She felt like part of her died and she was left feeling numb. Now, she has dusted herself off and desires to feel something—anything. She does not care if it is pleasure or pain; she just wants to feel human again. One of the first lyrics the audience hears is: “Keep on tryna fill the void but it ain’t enough// And so I go into the shadows// Lust into love.” She admits that her actions are only a temporary fix for her empty heart, yet she allows herself to fall back into these harmful patterns anyway. However, she lets the listener know that she is completely content with this when she sings, “I kinda like how// It feels when I’m// Outta control// Outta my body and soul// Don’t save me.” For her, this behavior mends her broken heart and she does not want anyone to intervene. She wants those around her to let her continue down this path and allow her to navigate her reintroduction back into single life the way that she wants. “Something Again” is a cleverly written track that is not only a cathartic release for Rev, but for every listener that resonates with these lyrics. “Something Again” is a high-energy pop song that ingeniously represents the carefree attitude with its upbeat rhythm and synth beats. The song kicks off with a compelling staggered keyboard intro that transitions into the first verse. The verse maintains the keyboard in the background, while adding the dreamy synth beats and mesmerizing bass on the forefront. Rev’s heavenly vocals guide the listener through the lyrical journey of heartbreak, recklessness, and healing. In the chorus, the bass and the beat mutes, focusing on a soothing synth production that sets the emotional tone of the track. Then in the post-chorus, the song takes a complete turn with a fiery take on the production. The tempo changes as the drums become the focus, paired with Rev’s voice as they provide a sultry vibe. Unique synth sound effects are heard in the background, providing a unique dynamic to the track. Then, the original production found in the first verse returns for the second verse, followed by the same chorus. The song maintains a similar structure throughout but switches up for the final chorus. Rather than the soothing, synth waves found in the previous ones, this chorus utilizes the production found in the verse, rounding out the track perfectly. Then in the outro, the production slows to the soft synth music with Rev’s muffled voice singing the first three lines of the chorus as the song steadily fades away. “Something Again” is a vibrant track with a complex production that is designed to help listeners dance away their broken hearts. Alexia Rev is a Paris-born, New York City-raised singer-songwriter, now based in Los Angeles. Coming from a family of classically trained musicians, Rev has possessed a strong admiration for music from a young age. She grew up with a mixture of influences from artists such as Ray Charles, Elton John, and Prince. These influences led to her non-genre conforming style, with a perfect blend of pop, funk, R&B, and classic rock. Rev made her debut in October 2021 with her single, “Lemonade”. After a few more releases, “Something Again” marks her first single of 2023, and her ninth single overall. In these two short years, Rev has already made huge waves in the music industry. Her songs have garnered attention from industry tastemakers, such as Mundane Magazine, Hollywood Digest, and A&R Factory in the United States, and LeFuturewav and Iggy Magazine in France. She has performed at iconic venues in Los Angeles such as The Vigil, The Mint, and Adults only. She continues to grow as an artist and is on her way to well-deserved superstardom.
