  • Review: “Something Beautiful” - JUNG

    One thing I love about music is how different eras can influence how some songs are made. One great example is the song “Something Beautiful” by JUNG, a Swedish indie-pop duo comprised of brothers Tom and Henrik Ljungqvist. The style of the song is reminiscent of music from the 80s and 90s. Pair this killer song with the 90210 -style music video JUNG released on YouTube, and you have - what I expect to be - a massive hit. I love the way this song was written. “You tell your secrets for attention, just to see if someone’s there,” is one of the lines that stood out to me the most. I can relate in more ways than one to this. One thing that I feel is very important when creating music is trying to find a way to relate to your audience, and I think they did a really good job of achieving that. As I said before, this song is very reminiscent of music from the 80s and 90s. I think what really helped with this was the instrumentals. The song opens with sounds that feel like their being ripped straight from a classic space sci-fi movie, and I love it. It kind of sounds like they used a synthesizer to make some of these instrumentals, which I feel was a very smart move to make. With a song like this, the backing track is what really makes the song unique. So, I really do think they hit the nail on the head. I haven’t heard a song that sounded like this in quite literally years. It was so energetic and lively, it made me want to get up and dance! And even the music video was catchy, what with its nod to the classic American television show from the 90s, 90210 . JUNG was formed in 2018, and debuted with their single: “Vera”. Since their debut, JUNG has achieved a lot. On Spotify, they average around 316,000 monthly listeners, have surpassed 100 million global streams, and have even released a double platinum single titled “Let Him Go” featuring musical artist Clara Mae. Aside from the upbeat style of “Something Beautiful,” JUNG released their EP, “She,” in 2021. This song was a lot more emotional and was able to show off a different side of the duo. JUNG has a sound that is comparable to artists such as The 1975, Majid Jordan, and even Bon Iver! But JUNG on their own are so incredibly unique, and I can’t wait to listen to what they release next.

  • Review: "Got Me Good" - Oh Blonde

    I’m always a little jealous of the people who unexpectedly fall in love and obtain the beloved. If you’re a little confused, let me explain. I’m talking about the people that suddenly find themselves in love with someone and it miraculously turns out their beloved has also fallen in love with them. They’ve obtained the beloved with no problems or hiccups. And I wish it was that easy for the rest of us. Instead, we find ourselves in the throes of unrequited love. Oh Blonde's latest single, "Got Me Good" highlights the admirer's experience of falling for a beloved that does not share their romantic feelings. “Got Me Good” is an alt-pop single about the internal difficulties that come with having an unrequited love. The opening verse voices the hope we have for the beloved to “come around”. While the following pre-chorus gives listeners a brief glimpse as to how it affects the admirer’s well-being; they're having “sleepless nights” and feeling themselves “slipping” from reality. And it's quite understandable. The fantasy of being with the beloved is alluring and feels better than the reality of the situation. But the melancholy melody brings us down to earth in the chorus: the beloved has got a hold them that can’t be shaken. Oh Blonde gives listeners a deeper look into the reality as the single progresses. The tempo picks up to demonstrate the speed of the unfolding events as the third verse explains that falling for someone doesn't happen often for the admirer. While they're falling, the beloved is switching up "fast". Indicting that there were some mutually shared feelings in the beginning of this connection - the admirer's feelings unfortunately developed further and transformed into the unrequited love, though. The soft guitar-laden bridge gives listeners a moment to reflect before the song reaches its end. It's a thoughtful section to include for listeners that have been in the admirer's role within an unrequited connection and might need the the moment to rebalance themselves. Even though admirers do eventually move on, the beloved will always be a footnote in their romantic history; and little things can prompt memories of the beloved to come flooding back. Maren Holmgren, better known as Oh Blonde, is a singer and songwriter based in Norway's scenic west coast. The artist began releasing music recently; dropping their debut single “If I See You” in 2022. But with only three songs under their belt, Oh Blonde has been able to showcase mature themes through their other-worldly vocals and unique melodies. “Got Me Good” was written while they were still attending the Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts on a piano alongside one of their best friends. With the eclectic sounds of Scandinavian artists in mind, "Got Me Good" eventually turned into their latest single. If you've enjoyed the artist's exploration of unrequited love as much as I have, show them some virtual love in the form of streams, likes, and follows.

  • Review: "Take A Minute" - Chris Noah

    “Take A Minute” offers that minute, that moment, to contemplate emotions. It’s the honest story of being dishonest with yourself concerning romantic relationships. Though he openly describes the love he holds for this person, it comes with a fear of this intimacy. It’s a refreshing love story that still doesn’t fail to recognize the modern day implications of one. “Take A Minute” feels like a fairy tale prince offering a talking stage. Chris Noah manages to evoke this strange combination through the strength of his emotion, the open way in which he describes it, and the logical way in which he addresses it. To wait this minute, to take a second to catch your breath, it doesn’t make a difference in his feelings and yet it is seemingly required. He explores the illusion of diluted passion found in relationships today by delving into his own passion and making the listener feel it, as well as understand why he thinks he can’t. The song begins with a catchy, organic, guitar. You don’t even notice how low, how dense, these notes are until they seem to fall away into Chris’ light and refreshing voice. The music follows him, quieting and creating a more peaceful harmony behind his singing. His lyrics flow poetically, offering seemingly incohesive imagery that still fits together perfectly. He moves away from this introduction and begins to describe his subject with the summarizing statement of “I don’t want to sound obsessed, if the world’s about to end why am I holding my breath?”. This method of describing his situation is consistent throughout the song. He conflicts himself, his mind and his emotions debating constantly. This line is also featured in his chorus, which occurs a moment later. The music here is even more uplifting, his voice being the focal point of it in a background track layered over his standard singing. His descriptions of wanting to hold back mostly occur here, with the moments in between being full of nothing but adoration for whom he sings to. The song ends with another rendition of the chorus but now, it seems to be interrupted, as if his “minute” is up. Chris Noah is a Riga based artist who was born to a musical family, a singing instructor mother and a musician father. His self-released singles “Fall Through” and “River”, made predictably early on in his life, created his immediate rise to fame. Since these releases his popularity has grown more and more, especially in Latvia where his single “You” became one of the most played songs of the year in 2017. His first EP was nominated for best debut at the Latvian Music Awards and his most recent for Pop Album of the Year at the Latvian Music recording awards. A song from this recent EP “Sunboy” achieved a similar nomination at the same awards, that is for song of the year. “Take A Minute” , his latest release, is on its way to similar success and further, stream it and follow Chris Noah below.

  • Review: "Before I Fall Apart" - Elle Coves

    Self-sabotage in relationships can be incredibly challenging because it creates a constant cycle that traps us. The negative thoughts that arise from self-sabotage convince us that we are undeserving of the happiness we find in our relationships. Consequently, we push ourselves away from someone who genuinely wants to be a part of our lives and treats us well. Elle Coves’ single “ Before I Fall Apart ” reflects this. Engaging in self-sabotaging behaviors is essentially like shooting ourselves in the foot. It leads us to treat ourselves negatively, which in turn keeps us stagnant in life, preventing growth, success, happiness, and other well-deserved experiences. Overcoming self-sabotage requires recognizing our own worth and learning to embrace the positive aspects of our relationships. It involves breaking free from the destructive patterns that slow down our progress and choosing to pursue the healthier and joyful path that we’ve always wanted. Elle's debut single, "Before I Fall Apart," is a summer hit, the kind you'd joyfully blast in your car with the windows down and the wind blowing through your hair on a sunny day. Elle battles with internal doubts and fears while appreciating the beauty of her relationship. She acknowledges its potential and is enjoying the genuine care she receives, but her self-sabotaging tendencies emerge, threatening her happiness. The lyrics reflect her struggle: " I try to run but oh my God I can't escape this feeling. Try to move on, it's back to you that all my roads keep leading. You're all I want, so give me something that I can believe in, before I fall apart ." Elle recognizes that these negative doubts are just illusions fabricated by her own mind. Self-sabotage tricks us into believing that we are unworthy of the blessings in our lives, stopping our personal growth and blocking our happiness. However, Elle realizes, and declares, " I know it's all just in my head ." Yet, overcoming these behaviors requires time and effort. It becomes a journey towards practicing consistent positive thoughts and believing that the good things that come our way are meant for us. Towards the end of the song, Elle swings back and forth between battling her thoughts and doubting herself and the relationship before it even has the chance to get anywhere, expressing, " Fall apart, right before it even starts. I don't want to break your heart. I don't wanna fall apart ." Elle Coves is an 18-year-old pop singer and songwriter born in Germany. At the age of 13, she relocated to Ireland, where she began her songwriting journey. Just a year ago, she completed her education, and a few months ago in February, she had the opportunity to support and tour with Lewis Capaldi. Elle is swiftly establishing herself by consistently investing in her growth as an artist and expanding her audience. Despite " Before I Fall Apart " being her debut single, she has already accomplished impressive things, such as touring alongside artists, headlining her first show at Notting Hill Arts Club, collaborating with the industry's top writers and producers, and surpassing 70,000 streams on Spotify!

  • Review: "1-800-GOT-STRESS" - Devon Cole

    In the classic Devon Cole fashion, her latest single is an unforgettable alt-pop song that covers meaningful topics through clever lyrics and an infectious production. “1-800-GOT-STRESS” details her struggle with anxiety and how it affects her daily life. The relatable lyrics throughout the track effortlessly depict the helplessness and unrelenting worry that anxiety causes Cole, especially through earlier times before she found positive coping mechanisms. She references these coping mechanisms in the song, such as breathing methods and counting techniques. However, within the track she demonstrates the moment when these mechanisms fail and there is nothing available to help her through the darkness. In the chorus, she immediately reveals the hook with the lyrics: “Is there someone I could call?// 1-800-got stress// Operator, could you drown out all the voices in my head?// I can’t take it any longer// My heart’s beating out my chest// It’s so nice to talk it out with someone other than my friends.” These lyrics illustrate a scene that is all too familiar for those who wrestle with anxiety. When their anxious thoughts overwhelm their minds, they just want somebody who can talk them off the mental ledge—a hotline for their anxiety. They know they could call up their friends, but they do not want to be a burden, even though they know deep down their friends would do anything for them. Cole conveys these anxious thoughts through a cheeky hook and an unforgettable production that is meant to be replayed on a constant loop. “1-800-GOT-STRESS” consists of a catchy melody that perfectly complements Cole’s compelling vocals. The song begins with a bass line that ends the intro with a single note slid down the neck to introduce the first verse. As Cole begins singing, the bass continues while a muted acoustic guitar is strummed alongside the bass, maintaining the same tempo. At the end of the second line, the drum beat kicks in as the production increases. While the bass and drum remain steady in the chorus, a keyboard replaces the acoustic guitar. In the second half of the chorus, the bass emphasizes each number as Cole sings, “I count one, two, three// Trying hard to breathe// But it doesn’t seem like you’re getting me.” In the background, breath sound effects and light claps are added to the beat, symbolizing the coping mechanisms Cole is describing. She sings another round of this with the lyrics, “I count one, two, three// ‘til I fall asleep// ‘Cause it doesn’t seem like you’re getting me.” The chorus ends with background vocals singing “one, two, three” with a reverb effect that represents the anxiety depicted in the song. The addition of each unique effect is an ingenious detail that brilliantly encapsulates the meaning of the song through the creative artistic details. The second verse kicks off with only Cole’s voice, quickly met by the bass and a unique keyboard note between each line. The second half of the verse brings back the original production of the first verse, with an addition of echoing background vocals and an electric guitar. The unique instrumentation of the chorus returns for the second one, and a muted guitar is added to the counting lines. Then in the bridge, there is only a piano and lead vocals to emphasize the clever, yet emotional climax of the song. Toward the end of the bridge, ethereal background vocals and an organ are added to further enhance the whimsical atmosphere. The song switches to the outro which utilizes the chorus instrumentation, but additional vocals are added as the track slowly closes out. “1-800-GOT-STRESS” is an incredibly dynamic track that not only showcases Cole’s unmistakable songwriting ability and her phenomenal vocals, but also her understanding of anxiety and mental health. Devon Cole is a singer-songwriter from Calgary, Canada. She made her debut in 2020 with her single, “July for the Whole Year.” The following year, she released four subsequent sequels which were all featured on her debut EP, Party For One. The project has garnered millions of streams and massive support from several industry tastemakers. In 2022, Cole was signed with Arista Records and released her first single under the label, “W.I.T.C.H.” Prior to officially releasing the song, she performed a snippet of the track on TikTok, where the video earned over 40 million views and became a viral sound on the platform. Recently, Cole received a 2023 Juno Award nomination for Breakthrough Artist of the Year. The talented artist strives to make music that lifts the spirits of listeners and provides them comfort through her lyrics. With her extensive discography of relatable and reflective songs, Cole has already succeeded this goal and continues to release unforgettable tracks. Written By Karlee Skipper FOLLOW DEVON:

  • Review: "Wish You The Best" - Goodluck Rylie

    Goodluck Rylie's "Wish You The Best" recounts a failed love story. How you can want forever with someone, and suddenly, you are filled with regret and hopelessness. He discusses feeling haunted, nauseous, and wishing that you could wish them the best. He expresses imagery of guns and blood. The track begins with a gentler introduction, but it quickly turns more upbeat as he details through vivid storytelling the demise of a relationship. Through easy rhymes in lyrics and indie-pop sounds, I was engaged from the start, as he opens up about the pain and failure of this romance through the track. In the first verse, Goodluck Rylie sings about plans to settle down and buy a house with the love interest. This sweet love story quickly sours as his lyricism shifts to talk about them leaving, feeling like a "means to an end," and how they are "always playing pretend." Between pop production and warm vocals, he takes us through the experience of realizing that a person was not all that they seemed to be and a relationship is just not meant to last. Those feelings of regret, betrayal, and hurt are communicated in the powerful refrain "Now I'm needing saving, rolling in your flames / Oh all I've got to say is / I regret the moment we met when you said / That you couldn't get me out your head." The track ends with the lines "Wish that I could wish you the best / Wish you the best." Sometimes, we have a partner who hurts or is toxic toward us. If you feel any of the lyrics and themes resonating with you, "Wish You The Best" is worth giving a listen. Goodluck Rylie is a California-based indie-pop artist. He was born in Marin County and now lives in Los Angeles. He made his artist debut with the single "Party Dies" in 2020, and now three years later, he has re-emerged to the scene with the track "Wish You The Best." He ambitiously intends to release a new single on the last Friday of each month for the rest of 2023. His songs tend to center around themes of addiction, loss and heartbreak, which he captures through honest lyrics and dynamic vocals. Much of his music is inspired by his experiences with change: changing homes, changing friends, changing relationships, changing lifestyles. I look forward to seeing his career grow.

  • Review: "Electricity" - Jess Irvine

    "Electricity" is a heartfelt and vulnerable song from singer-songwriter Jess Irvine. The track contains so much nuance and reflection from the singer-songwriter about various struggles through her life. The song stands as a glimmer of hope within all of this struggle, as it captures the feeling of making it through. She uses the concept of electricity to express the catharsis and freedom she experiences living in the present, having tackled so much challenge. "Electricity" gives listeners an appreciation for their struggles, and allows them to celebrate their growth. With Jess Irvine wearing her heart out on her sleeve, the track has an authentic vulnerability and soft sound that is irresistible. The instrumentals of "Electricity" truly capture the catharsis, and freedom Jess Irvine is singing about. With that, the song really does sound like the electricity she sings about. The soundscape is both uplifting and soft, due to the presence of both pop and folk influences. The integration of these two genres is done so beautifully, and creates an authentic sound for the track. The folk element really brings the song together as it gives it a rawness, and completeness that perfectly matches the kind of content in which Jess Irvine is singing about. The use of guitar gives "Electricity" a similar effect, making the song sound all the more free and electrifying. Jess Irvine is a wonderful folk-pop singer-songwriter. Her haunting and soft voice provides a unique essence to her tracks, that make them authentically her own. Her new release "Electricity" and previously released tracks are a testament to her talent as both a writer and musician. Getting to collaborate with established musicians Jess Irvine has previous success with singles such as "New Moon" and "Wild Wild Me."

  • Review: "Try to Get Away" - Carlyn

    Love is a powerful feeling because it is a gravitating force that can bring two people together. This is why breakups are tough, for it can be hard to sever this connection all of a sudden. Lust, on the other hand, is even more powerful. We crave the adrenaline rush that comes with physical affection. In fact, lust can release dopamine in the brain, a chemical that makes us feel good. In her song, “Try to Get Away,” Carlyn sings about the forces of love and lust bringing two ex-lovers back together. They know their relationship is toxic. However, the two continue to give into these feelings rather than “try to get away.” One thing I enjoyed about this song was the instrumentation, particularly the bass line. It sounds sneaky. I thought it was meant to be a musical representation of walking. If so, it is kind of ironic because the two lovers are not staying away from one another. In the chorus, the lyrics declare that trying to get away from each other is a “favorite game.” This means that they have no intention of actually doing it. The second verse, Carlyn sings about the regret of giving into lust and how hard it is to move on. She then circles back to the chorus and gives into lust again. I like this format, as it does a good job illustrating a toxic cycle. Carlyn is a Canadian singer/songwriter whose biggest music inspirations are Billie Eilish and Miley Cyrus. She is particularly adept in the genre of nightmare pop. This is a combination of haunting melodies and lyrics about love and life. You can definitely hear it on the sneaky bass line of “Try To Get Away.” It is even more prevalent on her other 2023 single “Sleeping With Penelope.” Here, the instrumentation is slow and haunting as Carlyn reflects on being betrayed by a person who she thought was her best friend. I enjoyed listening to Carlyn’s songs and can’t wait to hear what else she comes up with! Follow all of her socials down below to be the first to hear of any new releases!

  • Review: "Buy More Time" - Darla Jade

    Long distance relationships are often the bane of a touring musician's existence. It's a difficult challenge trying to maintain a sense of normalcy in life when you're constantly on the road, busy networking, or in the studio, separated from loved ones. There's always feeling of pain or longing when miles upon miles come between you and your significant other. Darla Jade captures these feelings in her new single, "Buy More Time." Giving insight into the track's meaning, Jade states “It's written around the concept of wishing I could buy more time with my partner, as I don’t get to see him as often as I would like due to us living across the country, so it’s definitely a song for all the couples out there that are in middle/long distance relationships. Around the time of writing the track I had watched the film ‘In Time’, written and directed by Andrew Niccol, which depicts time as the currency on how you are paid, etc., and I just found the concept really fascinating.” Jade follows in the footsteps of musicians before her who have struggled with navigating these complicated relationships, having similar messages intertwined in their songs. Though the sentiment is present in hits like Journey's "Faithfully," "Buy More Time" offers a fresh new spin with Jade's finessed electro-pop sound. "Buy More Time" is an upbeat, infectious track filled with memorable melodies and lyrics. Though the bittersweet lyrics narrate Jade's longing to be closer to her partner, the song's energetic demeanor is sure to pick you up if you're feeling blue. "Buy More Time" is driven by peppy electro-pop beats, giving an infatuating backdrop to dance along to. Jade's light, crisp vocals are mesmerizing, captivating listeners from start to finish. Staying true to her refined sound, "Buy More Time" is enveloped in a dreamy, synth-laden soundscape that's infatuating to listen to. Jade describes her sound as a futuristic take on '80s music, something "Buy More Time" embodies well. Any fan of '80s pop or electro-pop would love this track and have it playing on repeat. An impressive electro-pop vocalist, writer, and performer, Darla Jade has been making waves in the music industry since 2020. The UK-based artist has caught the attention of many with her first two EPs, situating herself within the global pop world. Some of her many achievements include winning Amazon's 'Breakthrough Booth' competition at The Great Escape 2022 and having her single, "Stories On The TV," featured on BBC Radio 1, naming it BBC Introducing Track of the Week. Some of her popular releases include "Ghost In Me" and "Broken Armour." Jade regularly writes for other artists and has been featured on numerous tracks. One of her notable features is on BLOND:ISH & Nico de Andrea's "Hold Tight." Written By Cheyenne Johnson FOLLOW DARLA JADE:

  • Review: "Sober" - John Hugo

    Have you ever loved someone so much that you were willing to do anything for them? Sometimes when we want to help the ones we love, they reject us without realizing how much it hurts. ”Sober” details wanting to help a loved one but not being able to. Sobriety is often a battle that a person needs to fight for themself and the singer, John Hugo, reflects on how it is hard to be there for a person as they spiral. John is very honest and vulnerable as he sings about the pain that can come when a loved one is struggling with sobriety, pleading at one point in the single. Although the track may seem dark and serious, the gorgeous synths give “Sober” a funky melody that will have you dancing. “Sober” is the perfect blend of 80s synths and pop with amazing vocals from John. The singer shows his raw emotions with his somber lyrics and wonderful voice but keeps the song light with an upbeat melody. The single was initially written as a ballad due to the topic of sobriety, however, the song evolved into a groovy nostalgic pop song. The light melody instantly makes you want to dance. I can totally imagine this song being played at a dance before it becomes the song of the summer with its unique but familiar soundscape. This track is incredible and has fantastic vocals, a catchy beat, and outstanding synths. John Hugo is an artist from Stockholm, Sweden. He was raised in a musical family, where he writes and records his music with his brother Ludvig Algonkin. His family’s love for music and early exposure became the foundation for his own musical journey, which led him to join choirs and bands growing up. John is inspired by artists such as Fleetwood Mac, The 1975, Harry Styles, and Prince. The singer is fascinated with music from the 60s, 70s, and 80s giving his sound a nostalgic vibe. The artist released his debut single in January 20223 titled “Old School”, which has a similar 80s feeling to it.

  • Review: "Young Blood" - Jack Vallier

    Many of us miss our youth—the simple life—uncontaminated by painful experiences. Jack Vallier’s new song “Young Blood”, discusses this idea in terms of young love, wishing to redo mistakes and fix the inevitable. He says “I’m sorry you had to be the one”, an experience many can resonate with, becoming the worst version of yourself around people that count. The song interlays a message that these experiences follow us (which, unfortunately, they do) and even as we get older, we all desire to purify our minds, reverting back to our clean and untainted “Young Blood.” Beginning with echoey guitar and somber piano melodies, the song progresses with these hollow-sounding, wooden “pops”. The chorus surges in energy, with the catchy hook “I’m still bleeding young blood; they say it’s only young love”, introducing these softly strong, crashing drums and anthemic vocals. I really appreciate the diminished, sparkling synths that remain in the background, and as the song continues, these gospel, almost celestial harmonies. While listening, I could clearly picture a promo for Jack’s concert, panning to eager fans, priming people for an electric yet heartfelt show! Jack’s debut EP “Rebekah” (2017) set the stage his ambient, pop sound, featuring lyrics of reflection and confessions of heartbreak. From the jazz-inspired “The Boy You Knew” to the tribal, punchy single “Good For U”, Jack’s experimental leanings have helped create engaging yet thoughtful pop ballads. In 2020, he released his second EP “Changes”, featuring dreamy piano and percussive drum beats, which further established his captivatingly vulnerable lyrics (my favorite being “I’ll Be There, with anthemic and interlacing melodies). Since his start, he has amassed over 40 million Spotify streams, been featured on popular shows, like Grey’s Anatomy, and toured alongside Dermot Kennedy on his UK/European tour. Now signed to Firefly Entertainment, Jack is soon to release the upcoming project “Chaos Into Calm Pt. 1”, progressing his signature sound of intimate piano and lyrics of complexity and remorse. I really love his song “Insomnia” and, despite never being in a relationship, I could feel every word! I hope he keeps going! Written By: Conner Pettit FOLLOW JACK:
