Many of us are thrown into the endless rabbit hole of adulthood. And, similar to any mysterious hole in the ground, twisting and ever-changing obstacles can echo a harsh reality (one that never matches the actual dream). Ellie Evans’ Alice in Wonderland inspired track “Breakfast On The Roof” describes a young person’s voyage into adulthood, one marked by confusion and restlessness, yet exudes a freedom from accepting one’s youth and traversing the unknown. Using the idea of Wonderland to develop her message, Ellie compares ‘life’ to the stories we often tell ourselves, one of picture-perfect love when, in reality, going on “dates with your best friend” can be just as fulfilling. She captures the universal ache many in their twenties feel, fighting against the clock, running forward yet tripping over your own feet, likening the experience to being “caught between the pages”—a clever metaphor for how we all seem to stumble through writing our own, personal story. Beginning with ghostly “ooohs” and snappy, bedroom-pop production, Ellie’s vocals remind me of Holly Humberstone, containing the same grit and power, yet with a more optimistic, carefree quality. The song made me picture a Hollywood production set (one with fancy props, well-known directors, people dressed fantastically) about to begin a scene from Alice in Wonderland . Then, just as the shoot begins, Ellie, dressed in her floral pajamas, wanders across the set (a vibe I might add), serving as a great contrast for how early-adulthood can feel just like a production, one where most people can’t help but feel out of place. This song expresses this further through lyrics like “hanging up road signs in the kitchen” and “wine on Monday morning”, getting to the crux of how feeling lost can be freeing but also terrifying. I appreciate her subtle word-play, comparing a night out to having no way out, bringing me back to the lyric in Sweetheart, “he likes me in red, now he leaves me on read”—an interesting yet creative signature throughout her songs. British-born, the singer, songwriter made her music debut with the track “See You in June” (2021), featuring stripped-back vocals and lyrics of isolation and longing. Her recent single “Sweetheart” (2022), recounts a heartbreak that left her confused and questioning reality, with haunting melodies and quite unique, yet painfully effective, note choices. The song earned a spot on the drama show Love Island and began solidifying her sound, balancing dreamscape and concrete, playful yet deep, direct but metaphorical. Having amassed 84K monthly listeners on Spotify, her music has an unfiltered, carefree quality about it, reflecting her fun-loving personality—one that has spawned endless TikTok content, from sitting in a bathtub full of colored cheerios to eating the classic, breakfast cereal in a bowl of CocaCola (curious if she resents Cheerios now). Although she’s only started, I am excited to see how her music develops, seeing that there’s endless potential with her powerful voice and emotive lyrics! Written by: Conner Pettit FOLLOW ELLIE:

Alex Beck has given us an edgy rock hit, with her new song “Over and Out”.

FROM INSIDE is an energizing pop-rock band making waves in the music scene. From Liverpool, FROM INSIDE is using contemporary sounds and their angst to create a fresh sound for listeners. Their newest single "Say The Word" displays all of these qualities and more. "Say The Word" is an emotionally charged alternative-pop ballad. The song draws inspiration from poet Emily Dickinson, tackling the relatable topic, of feeling like there is always something to fix within our lives. With that, "Say The Word" talks about the importance of words and the impact words have on our life. Thus, choosing the wrong or right words can lead us in either a positive or negative direction. "Say the Word", while tackling common introspective struggles, is an energizing track. Part of this energy comes from the angst that exists not only in the lyrics but in the music itself. The raspy and loudness of the vocals and shredding of the guitar create this angsty energy that fills the song from start to finish. Underneath the loud angst, there is a melody that hides beneath it throughout the song. This melody works so well for the song as it acts as a grounding force in balancing the various emtoions going on within the song. The melody also creates a hook within the song leaving listeners wanting to return over and over again. FROM INSIDE is a pop-rock band based in the UK. The members of the band attended the same high school in Liverpool. The school they attended just so happened to also be where the The Beatles had also done their schooling.

The band's determination and talent is proving itself as their last singles "Let Me In" and "The Right One" have garnered over 60,000 streams, which is only sure to increase.

"Stay Friends" is the newly released single from talented singer-songwriter Ace Rosewall. The single is an upbeat pop song, that is easy going and fun to listen to. This feel good song is played alongside lyrics that protray the real emotions and events of a breakup. While some of these emotions can be difficult at first, "Stay Friends" shows the other side of this journey, when the person reflects and finds out the breakup was for the best. In the song Ace Rosewall, seems to find peace with the closure of this past relationship of his. Both Ace's own personal triumph and the upbeat energy of the song, makes "Stay Friends" a fun but cathartic listen. At its core "Stay Friends" is composed of the plucking of various simple guitar chords. These chords make up the substance of the song and provide the emotional pacing the song keeps throughout its duration. While the guitar chords are the center of this song, the addition of drums picks up the song and takes it to a new level when entering into the chorus. Furthermore, the addition of the pan flute adds an extra layer of authenticity to "Stay Friends."

Photo credit: Joci Hinners “246” is a lovely, poignant tune, and I appreciate how the guitar’s sharper, almost frantic-sounding notes emphasize the song’s lyrics. What does “246” mean to you, and what do you hope listeners gain from it? Anderson: "246" was the first song I made off my upcoming EP and the first song I made with the music collective I work with, Harcourt Paloma. It was really special actually, I wrote it in my childhood bedroom when I went back to Ohio for Christmas. I posted it as an Instagram story and my friend (and producer), Ari Rivera, reached out and asked to work on it when I got back to LA. I am a firm believer in running the tap until it’s clear when it comes to songwriting and this felt like one of, if not the first, songs that came out clear. I am relatively new to music, I only really started writing songs at the beginning of 2022. 246 for me is about self-sabotage and naivety. It’s about getting honest with yourself about outcomes. Going back to the same person or habit that has hurt you over and over and expecting a different result. How would you describe the experience shooting the visualizer video for “246” and what were some of your favorite moments? Anderson: I shot and edited the visual for "246" by myself in my bedroom! I wanted it to focus on the lyrics because I feel like they provide a lot of imagery on their own, so the video was made to support them. I wanted it to feel a bit like a spiral in your bedroom because that’s truthfully what the song is. It was cool to try to fit as much personality as I could into silent clips. A quick search of your Insta reveals that you play guitar and keys. Which do you prefer, and do you have your eye on learning another instrument any time soon? Anderson: I think I reach for the guitar when I’m going to write just because it’s more accessible. I’m self-taught in both. It’s not great hahaha. I would love to learn slide guitar. I just got a bass and I have some synths but everything is really a means to an end. I Frankenstein-play when I am producing by myself, I’ll hear the sound in my head and then try my best to mimic it on an instrument. More than learning an instrument I should probably learn theory but typically I write to very basic chords, take it to Ari, and tell him he can find better chords because I’m more in it for lyrics and melody. What was the best part about working with Lance Redeker on “Get A Grip”? Anderson: I love "Get A Grip". Out of the singles on the EP, this song feels the most like me. Working with Lance was really cool, he’s great at melodies so I went over to his house and we wrote out this song. It was one of the first songwriting sessions I did. It was cool to get outside of my own experience in writing. It was supposed to be slower, more along the lines of Garden Song by Phoebe Bridgers with that low harmony. When I brought it in to Ari I reworked all the lyrics to make it more honest to my experience. I asked if Lance would still be willing to do the harmony idea and he was so he came over to track vocals with us at Harcourt. Photo credit: Olivia Neil Who are some of your biggest musical inspirations and influences? Anderson: Oh god, this question. I grew up following the 1975 on tour so I think even just on a subconscious level I am heavily influenced by their sound. I was also a massive Taylor Swift fan growing up so I think you can see that in the way I write a bit. Hayley Williams' solo album Petals for Armor was huge for me as well as the Such Great Heights EP by The Postal Service. What comes next for you, and what should fans be keeping an eye out for? Anderson: I have two more singles coming out, and then the EP 'What a Hard Winter!' comes out May 31st, on my birthday. Interviewed By Vanessa Siebrass FOLLOW ANDERSON:

There’s nothing like Springtime, oh with the breeze… the ease … What a joy to soak up sunshine, gently coming back to life with the world. The silence of sleep wears away, and nature wakes up, marked by smells, sights, and sounds … While so much energy is devoted to growth and expansion in this fertile time, our world can feel raw… fragile , even. As much as we may seek to expand, to flourish , change is difficult… change can be painful! Calling out to triumph –and in the same breath, to trial–‘singer/songwriter and storyteller’ KAT arrives with equal parts grace and grit on the uplifting new anthem, ‘ Rise .’ Leading the way with a voice filled with soul and sunshine, KAT sails over gentle waters, heading for a hopeful horizon! Listen to 'Rise' by KAT This song is a message, an olive branch of resilience and determination. Imbued with hope… optimism, KAT’s powerful lyrics speak to the peaks and valleys of life, urging us to rise up and overcome! The ‘punchline’ of the tune’s flowery refrain–bejeweled with KAT’s moving cadence–calls the audience to look within themselves and stand tall, immovable and determined! KAT’s soaring soprano helps the tune breathe, offering contour and depth. The singer’s detailed application of harmony decorates the soundscape with pockets of breathy beauty. KAT’s voice flies and falls, highlighting an impressive range; with so much motion on the vocal front, the instrumental is fairly simple, consisting almost solely of acoustic guitar and keyboard… In essence, ‘ Rise ’ is a reminder, as radical as it may sound… that we have the strength within us to achieve the very best version of ourselves imaginable! While this young artist seeks to pin down her vision and voice, it’s impressive to hear a cohesive blend of Miley Cyrus, Disney drama, and even a pinch of Aerosmith’s romantic storytelling! KAT is a singer-songwriter who displays powerhouse vocals and poignant, plot-driven songwriting. While not much is known about this talented young artist, her music draws on a wide range of influences, from folk, blues, soul, and beyond! KAT's lyrics are deeply personal, exploring themes of life, love, and discovery. With this earnest, heartfelt approach to her craft and character, it seems more than fair to say that fans of pop music should keep their ears open for this blooming new challenger. A self-proclaimed admirer of soulful monarchs like Aretha Franklin and Etta James, KAT is perfectly poised to carve a brilliant niche for herself amidst a bustling modern scene!

Progress never linearly projects upwards – but I wish it did. And I think the best example of nonlinear progress comes from within the music industry. We have more underrepresented artists, producers, and technicians than ever before. Despite the growth of this diverse representation over the last decade, it’s only made a dent in the music industry. This is still a sector that’s dominated by men in all its facets. This is why it’s important to uplift the voices and creations of those attempting to change the face of the music industry. Especially artists like Haven Everly who have overcome so many adversities within it. Everly’s new single “Raised By Wolves” encapsulates the resilience she’s developed in the face of resistance from the industry. Listen to "Raised By Wolves" by Haven Everly here. “Raised By Wolves” is a pop-rock single that’s sung with soul and completely grounded in self-empowerment. The song’s opening treats listeners to a calculated piano melody while the first verse paints a picture of the hardships Everly has overcome. It evokes dramatic visions of someone that knows they’re a force to be reckoned with as they confidently sashay into the room. The bluesy bass lines that accompany the lyrics; “Been broken down one too many times / And left out to dry”, send chills down my spine in the best way possible. It mentally prepares listeners to embrace the intensity of the emotions that are about to flood their consciousness. The pre-chorus acknowledges the depths of the darkness Everly was sent to while on her journey to have her music be heard. While the chorus sees her acceptance of it. Yet, instead of it keeping her down, she’s transformed this darkness into a source of power for herself. But what I absolutely love about “Raised By Wolves” is how it plays with the dual symbolism of wolves. It highlights underrepresented artists’ persistence to have their creative intellectual property be recognized and heard, while showcasing how the music industry eagerly devours fresh talent that does not fit into their brand image or identity. California based artist, Haven Everly, comes from a musically inclined family. Both of her parents were trained, professional singers - heavily influencing the artist and her siblings. Everly even started the pop girl group, SChAE, with her two older sisters. While in the group, the artist had the opportunity to perform on the famed NYC Apollo Theater stage and was met with a standing ovation. But Everly’s talents aren't just limited to music. Fans might recognize the artist as Tatianna on Showtime’s The L Word: Generation Q and Gigi on Netflix’s YOU. Next month, the artist will be starring in the upcoming musical, The Girl Who Left Home, as Christine. The musical is set to be released on May 30th and can be streamed on Amazon Prime and Apple TV. "Raised By Wolves" is both Everly's debut single and her solo breakout into the music scene. If you've enjoyed the artist's powerful single as much as I have, show them some virtual love in the form of streams, likes, and follows. But most significantly, send Everly your congratulations for a successful debut! Written by Giavanna Gradaille FOLLOW HAVEN EVERLY:

Typically, you would probably expect a song about heartbreak to be more of a slow, depressing ballad. In these sorts of songs, the slowness and dark nature contributes to us feeling the same pain as the artist. What makes Thomas Day so special as an artist is that he can take his own heartbreak and create an upbeat, and catchy tune while still allowing us to feel the rollercoaster of emotions he probably felt in the situation. His newest single “MASOCHIST” is about a girl he fell for so completely and quickly that he didn’t even think about the pain. To him, in that moment, the potential pain losing her could cause was nothing in comparison to the way she was making him feel. This song is about letting go of the pain and embracing the moment while in love. A soft guitar beat brings us into the first verse of the song. Day begins to sing with one-word descriptions followed by a full lyrical connection that keeps us, as listeners, fully engaged in this song. He says “I like the way you’re cruel,” and despite the song’s darker title, it is incredibly upbeat. It’s the kind of song you play on a sunny day on your way to the beach, blasting the extremely pop-esque chorus as you drive down an open road. The second verse shows Thomas's crisp and clear voice as he continues to sing about the object of his affections, who continues to hurt him despite how much he is falling for them. This is what makes him a masochist. With the bridge, Thomas hits an impressive range of notes that will blow you away. When Thomas was nine, he knew that music was the thing he wanted to do for the rest of his life. He brought his young ambition to life in musical theater productions. Now, at just twenty years old, he has captured millions of fans and has a very impressive career. With almost seven million TikTok followers and over 200,000 on Instagram, it’s safe to say that his music has absolutely taken over the younger generations. Thomas’ career was first put into the spotlight with TikTok, but he sealed the deal by signing with Arista Records in 2021. It is with them that he’s been doing what he loves, which includes his singles “The New Me” and even more recently “Wildflower.” We have no doubt that Thomas will continue to do big things in the music industry!

“The Sequel” is the story of a relationship which has only ended for one. The narrator of the song is instead stuck retelling it, reliving it. He hopes not for this repetition, but for a new tale to tell. He doesn’t reminisce on the old relationship as many breakup songs will do, rather, he misses the person with whom he can reminisce. “The Sequel” is a call for just that, a second chance. Consistent themes of storytelling and film bring the listener back to that meaningful title. In viewing the relationship as this story, Kadish manages to recreate the feeling of isolation so prevalent following a breakup. He is separated from his own memories, viewing them not as in the past, but as a story he can tune into and fall asleep to. He views them as a story left on a cliffhanger. His hope is only that, when the story continues, he’ll no longer be staring at the ceiling above him to watch it- he’ll be able to turn over and see it in real time in his partner's eyes. An end to the isolation. His entire narration seems to take place alone lying in bed, as if he’s reflecting on this all as he falls asleep. He comes back to this perspective again and again. This imagery Kevin Kadish uses, the constant view of a heartbroken man alone, along with the tone of the song, a slow ballad, make “The Sequel” the perfect soundtrack to a lonely night. The song begins with a steady but gentle piano, one note at a time, hardly differing in tone and yet carrying intense emotion in the silences it calls attention to. “I play our story like a movie in my head”, the first line of the song and a complete summary of it. His voice echoes a sort of exhausted pain, trailing off and growing quieter at the end of each statement. But, with each new line, he regains a strength in his singing that allows for beautiful vocals. These vocals paired with the piano are consistent throughout the course of the piece; but as he becomes more emotional, pleading “won’t you let me rewrite us”, nearly unheard but nonetheless influential string instruments mimic his sound. The rise and fall of this portion of the song is unavoidably touching, it’s one of the only moments that lasts without a description of the bed from which he sings. It’s the song's briefest feelings of hope which are somehow more heart wrenching than its extended periods of grief. At his next rendition of “won’t you let me rewrite us”, this swell of emotion and the swell in volume that reflects it is clear, with the “us” being sung by a chorus made up of his own voice overlapping itself. Following this, he sings twice “all I want to do is wake up next to you in a sequel” over that familiar piano, and “The Sequel” comes to a close. “The Sequel” written seven years ago with Tony Ferrari and Nathan Chapman, is Kevin Kadish’s latest release. Glancing at only his Spotify, it would seem it was one of seven singles- all written in the past three years. But Kadish has a much more expansive display of work, and his experience stretches decades beyond what initially meets the eye. Born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland, Kevin always had a passion for music, he attended Berklee and the University of Maryland where he created his major: music management. He began working after his graduation as a solo artist, performing original songs and touring the East Coast with bands such as Dave Mathew’s Band and Hall & Oates. He swayed from this trade though, following what he’s claimed to be most proficient skill, writing. He co-wrote songs for artists such as Willie Nelson, until he came upon a relatively undiscovered singer at the time, Meghan Trainor. In co-writing and producing “All About That Bass”, the no.1 song on the Billboard Hot 100 for eight weeks in 2014 and a worldwide hit, he skyrocketed his and Trainor’s careers. Since, he’s worked with artists such as Miley Cyrus, Morgan Wallen, Jason Mraz, and many others. He's been nominated for 3 Grammys, two in the 57th annual awards for "All About That Bass" and one in the 47th for best engineered album.
