Often, it can become difficult for us to accept the possibility of having someone in the world who truly does care for us. Someone who would care if we were to suddenly disappear. These thoughts become difficult to ignore when you’re living in a place that is known to be surrounded by people who tend to be so focused on only themselves. Being surrounded by people like this only makes the loneliness grow. The latest track by independent artist, Abby Carey, “Anybody In LA,” covers the struggles of having to go on with life even when you feel isolated by such a busy city like LA. Carey’s song is filled with angst and despair, but the vocal performance and guitars bring the song to life enough to provide a sense of comfort to its listeners. Carey’s song reflects the basis of the human experience, which is that insecurity of being overlooked we all share, and making songs like these help others who experience the same unwanted emotions. The song begins with a simple muted guitar which Carey singings over. The lyrics set the scene of someone looking over their life and being unhappy with their current place and time. The verse begins to bring in some drums that keep the rhythm of the song steady as Carey continues to sing about how her actions don’t reflect the life she pictured. When we get to the chorus, a big explosion of sound appears where Carey’s voice mixes so well with the guitars. The guitar riffs in this section especially create such a nice ambiance that feels somewhat nostalgic yet still relevant. The sound engulfs the listeners so well, and that only makes the song more emotional. The lyrics in this section truly reflect the frustration of being in LA surrounded by superficial individuals. Do these people truly care about you? That’s what Carey spirals to understand, and it is perfectly portrayed in the chorus. The second verse focuses more on the difficulty of finding flaws in the people that live in Hollywood, and how that leads to your own insecurities becoming more prominent. This verse expresses that confusion as to why no one else is imperfect just as we feel we are. The bridge of the song creates a whirlwind of expression that shakes you. One of my personal favorite lines is the reference to Elliott Smith, a well-known musician whose signature sound became so influential to some of the most well-known indie artists today. An Elliott Smith reference works perfectly well with the scene Carey is trying to set. The song ends on a hopeful note, that the possibility of someone in LA caring may still be alive. Overall, Abby Carey’s song is very honest and tells a truth most people experience but don’t always want to share. Songs like “Anybody In LA” are important in the world because these universal experiences are proof we all feel deserted at one point in our lives. Abby Carey is an independent musician originally from Boston, Massachusetts. She loves to be a vivid storyteller who takes her songwriting very seriously and hopes to capture the emotional depth of certain experiences. Her voice is smooth and the vocal performance in her discography captivates her listeners very well. Her style of music takes enough risks to be unique but is still universal enough to connect to different people. These risks are very present in her lyricism as well, as she tries to be as honest as possible, which is very difficult to do because it can leave you exposed. She’s written a multitude of songs that she plans to release in the future. Abby Carey is a unique artist who creates well-thought-out music, and you can expect to see more of her soon.

“Good Taste” by Homer is a reflection of exactly that. Their 2023 release, a catchy, pop-punk influenced song expresses the positive influence of a breakup. Using a variety of metaphors but most notably referring to music, Homer describes the lasting impact a past relationship had. Though the narrator is heartbroken, the coping skill of music learned from their former partner is used to overcome it. “Good Taste” is the breakup song of acceptance. They hear the remnants of the past relationship through their headphones but they also sing those remaining sorrows into the headphones of others. This is a genuine feel-good song for when you don’t. The song begins with a summery, electric beat that only lasts a second before Homer begins singing. The singers voice is classic, reminiscent of early 2000s artists such as Coldplay, which they actually reference in their lyrics. Every line of these lyrics are memorable, the chorus rolling off the tongue with ease after only hearing it once. Though they’re catchy, Homer’s mature response to the breakup and their positive outlook on it are still tainted with the facts of their upsetting nature. Their method of writing this story is essentially a line in which they’ll describe something terrible this former partner did, for instance “Then you left me for your friend” followed by, in this case, “but I’m not sad”. A heart wrenching confession but immediately overcome by the otherwise joyful sounding music and optimistic lyrics. It’s an intriguing method of storytelling that’s genuinely inspirational. Songs that usually describe such terrible circumstances are usually slow ballads, but here, Homer manages to say the same message but flip it and make nothing short of a pop anthem. The Texas based duo released their first single on Spotify in 2018, titled “Will You Still Love Me” and have since put out seven new songs. Their top tracks “Mine” and “Someone New” have over a million streams, they’ve reached over 100 countries, and gained thousands of followers on Spotify and Instagram since. The two artists collaborate perfectly together, Zach Castillo being the focus of production with Will Mccurdy as the singer. Both, despite living active lives filled with travel and other creative endeavors, manage to keep dedicated standards for themselves as musicians. Constantly creating new projects, writing, and producing. Just one month after they released “Good Taste” they’ve already dropped another single, “Won’t Let Me Go”. With their ongoing theme of romantic bops and their impressive speed in releasing them, I’m excited to see what they have in store next. Remember to follow them below and keep up with their journey, if you have “Good Taste”. Written By Hailey Schap FOLLOW HOMER:

Relationships aren’t easy and they’re definitely not one sided. Inevitably, there are going to be disagreements and fights, but you still stick and work through it together in order to resolve it. Robin T’s, “ Hold Me Tight ”, is about the tough times that he and his love interest often have together. Although it is normal, these things definitely are tough to deal with, and can leave you emotional. Robin makes it known that no matter what, and throughout all of the arguments, his girlfriend is still the light of his life and that they’ll get through it everytime no matter what. If you want to stay together, you’ll make it happen every time. So, even if your person starts an argument and gets you upset, are you willing to work through it? Would you still hold them tight like Robin would, or would you give up? The song starts off very upbeat and poppy. You can hear various instruments, such as the drums, trumpet, guitar and piano. Sometimes, couples may break up after a heated argument or fight, but Robin makes it very clear that this isn’t going to happen at all. Throughout the song, he mentions how she is the star in his life and his shoulder to cry on. This is his way of saying that his only option here is to “ stay in the light ” with her, meaning that they’re going to communicate, and remain a couple in order to maintain that happy and healthy relationship. He relies on her, only wants her, and needs her to hold him tight and stick together through the bumps in the road, which is how it’s supposed to be! If the both of you want it, you’ll push through and make it work. After the chorus, the song and beat starts to slow down and the only instrument we hear is the guitar. This is when Robin sings about no longer wanting to continue the arguing and is basically telling her that they’re going to make this work. He shows this by asking her, “ Can we stay in the light? ”, and saying, “ Look up and we can pray tonight. Maybe we can make it right. I never wanna make you cry. I never wanna see you cry .” Then, the beat starts to pick back up, and all of the instruments return. This is where he transitions to singing about being on the same page with his girlfriend again. Robin T is a 22 year old singer and songwriter born in South Africa, but raised in Ireland, which is where he is currently residing. However, he has not been residing in Ireland all this time. He’s been in Nashville, Tennessee for the past 4 years gigging at venues there, with one of them being the Bluebird Cafe. His musical journey started at the age of 12 where he sang in his school's talent show. Robin is kicking off his career with the release of “ Hold Me Tight ”, which you can find and listen to now on all streaming platforms! Written By Sneet Efrem FOLLOW ROBIN T:

I really hope your new single “Sometimes I Wanna Cry :(“ brings back the pop/punk era I’ve been craving, this song is absolutely INCREDIBLE! Can you take us through the creative process for this new track and how it was a cathartic experience for you? Sarina: The creative process was really straightforward! The song itself is very simple, I didn’t want to spin poetry like I do with my other singles, instead hoping to make a song anyone can listen to and relate to. I wanted a song I could just scream. Whether it was in the shower or in the car or just jamming out in your bedroom. I think it ended up working out as intended which is wonderful! The growth you’ve experienced on social media the last few months has been insane! How has your experience been gaining this whole new audience and seeing how many people relate to your lyrics? Sarina: It’s been crazy!! I wasn’t expecting to blow up all of a sudden but I’m incredibly grateful to all my followers and supporters who believe in me and like what I do. In a way I feel so honoured that my music speaks to people and resonates, but at the same time it’s sad to know how many people are suffering in that way. As someone who dealt with and is still dealing with some mental health issues, I hope my music can help people to feel more seen, maybe more understood and less alone. I’ve interviewed a bunch of Berklee College of Music alumni, so it was so exciting to learn you also went there as well!! What was your experience like while studying there? Sarina: Berklee is an amazing school and a wonderful atmosphere surrounds it. I think If I ever decided to go to college I’d want to apply to Berklee. The pre-college course I did there absolutely changed my life! Both what I learned and the people I met were amazing. In such a short time I feel like it really broadened my horizons. If you could write a song with any other artist, who would you pick and why? Sarina: This is such a hard question!!!!!! There are so many artists whom I admire and respect and I think it would be impossible to choose just one. I think I’d love a chance to work with a living legend. I recently had the privilege of meeting and seeing Alan Menken live in concert. To work with someone like him, I think, would truly be an experience of learning and growth. What would you say is at the top of your bucket list for your career? Sarina: I think I don’t really have a bucket list but more I have an ultimate goal. I just want to leave behind a legacy, Something that inspires people long after I’m gone and something that transcends generations. I believe art is a language that is never forgotten and is never learned. It is simply known. No two people will be impacted by art the same way, and yet art is something connects people regardless of who, what, or where they are. I know you have a new single coming out this month, which I am so excited to hear by the way! Can you give us a hint on what to expect from this song and its connection to one of your past singles? Sarina: “Melancholy Roads (No More)” is an orchestral ballad that is a culmination of years of self isolation only to open my eyes and recognize community. The song is supposed to be a sort of coin flip from “Yuu-Utsu na Michi” (Melancholy Roads) which was a J-pop song about following your dreams and persevering in the face of loneliness. Where “Yuu-utsu na Michi” uses a lot of synthesized instruments and is a generally fast paced song, “Melancholy Roads (No More)” is mostly piano with accompaniment from violins, viola and cello. It’s slow, it’s heartfelt and it’s incredibly emotionally raw. I think in a lot of ways, glorifying sad or negative emotions is easy. It’s comfortable to look at our darkness and say “this is me.” But there is a strength that comes from looking at our darkness, and making a conscious decision to reject it. To say “I am more than this and I am not alone.” Interviewed By Sarah Curry FOLLOW SARINA:

In the chorus, Hayes sings, “I'm breathing in and out// And that's enough for now// I had my heart ripped out// I'm finally healing// My pain has set me free// I'm finally finding me// And that's a victory// That I can believe in.” With these profound lyrics, and the reveal of the hook, the listener is comforted by the song.

Have you ever had the feeling that you belong with someone, but you were just too afraid to tell them? Sometimes we fall in love with someone from a completely different world; kind of like a Romeo and Juliet situation. Except instead of fighting for your love, you keep quiet. Life goes on as you watch the person you love live their life without you. 'Birthday' by The Magnettes is about struggling with feelings for someone that you can't have. You watch their birthday go by, you watch them get married; and all because you were too afraid to speak up and tell them how you feel.
