“FYI” is a flirty dance-pop track infused with funky vocals and a runway-pop beat. Crowe is hungry for interaction as she sings “ savor you ‘til I’m better ”, which could also allude to the dynamic of addiction. She sings about physical affection and impulsive highs, creating an ambiguity that adds character to the song. This potential double-meaning invites a duplicity that deepens the connection made to listeners. She mentions that there’s no questioning “ this kind of love, ” enforcing the idea of an electric intimacy and/or addictive high mistaken as love. Using the verse “ FYI ” is a trendy way to lower the stakes when hitting on someone, but also represents the rushed nature of addiction as it’s a texting shortcut. Delivered as a hot song about love or  a comment on sobriety, this track has a duality that should be appreciated. The intro bass invites listeners to stay a while as Crowe’s voice dances through the first verse. A heartbeat drum keeps the track moving until Crowe takes over with high-pitched, dreamy vocals that pair well with flashing, colored lights. With layers of strong sound, Crowe belts “ do you feel me? ” followed by a gentle, “ FYI ”. This is all cushioned by sounds reminiscent of runway fashion mixed with sultry pop. Crowe is confident in her voice as she runs through sections of fluctuation with ease. This track is ultra-catchy, light, and versatile. With a few electric guitar riffs, a clap-along beat, and overlapping vocals, the end of this track ties together just over 3 minutes of cold-cut confidence. Play Jasmine Crowe’s “FYI” while riding in your car this summer, you won’t regret it! “FYI” sounds like Ariana Grande’s “ Break Free ” filtrated by Madonna’s “ Material Girl ”, and executes a musical bliss that's difficult to describe. Jasmine Crowe was born in Hawaii, and plays multiple instruments like guitar, piano, and violin. She is an all-in-one singer, songwriter, and producer, creating music that addresses themes like mental health and addiction. Her 2018 single “Breaking Things” won the Grand Prize “Song of the Year” in the John Lennon Songwriting Competition , showcasing her well-rounded talent. She was featured in American Songwriter Magazine as well as Hollywood Life and can be located on various “Discovered” Spotify playlists. Check out the social media links below for more Jasmine Crowe!

Violet Whimsey is held hostage by hope in her new release “Still Here (Slow Dances)”, a bedroom pop track that’s dense with gut punching lyricism. She starts with her misconception of time, “ has it been three years?/ or 365 days, ” illustrating the sheer grief she is experiencing. She follows with a wasted wish, repeatedly revitalized by her blinded belief in this one person. Whimsey remains lost and confused, wondering “how many slow dances/ barefoot on the carpet ” it takes to earn reciprocation, or to persevere after not receiving it. She sings “ it must be lonely sometimes ” way out where “ you seem to belong/ to no one and nowhere ” acknowledging this person’s isolation, and wondering when they’ll come home. Whimsey cries “ when were you gonna say something?/ ‘cause I’m still here, ” which truly encompasses the soggy defeat of a hopeless romance. Between the lyrics, instrumentals, and yearning vocals, Whimsey cut her heart out and fully infused it into this track. Beginning with a classic piano ballad sound, Whimsey attacks each corner of the track’s soundscape with a voice so contused by false hope it delivers a jab laced with familiarity. She pauses between questions for emphasis along with a casual, tired tone, while exhausted by agony. The chorus is so gorgeous given her genuine voice and the intoxicating rhythm of the main verse. Drawing out lyrics like “ carpet floor ” and “ shooting stars ” adds to the imagery and grace of the track. The way Whimsey keeps composure throughout the song contributes to a sense of fatigue that only emotional damage can commit. Instead of higher volume vocals, she remains entranced by emotion to convey lethargy from a painful romance. The overall sound of the track is cohesive, inviting, and moaning with lament- all complete with floating vocals that transport listeners to a safe, sulking space.  Violet Whimsey makes music in hopes to connect with those who have struggled, or still struggle, with loss, anxiety, and/or depression. She’s from New Jersey, but is based in Los Angeles. Her striking lyricism and contagious sound invites listeners to relate to her experiences which fosters authentic connections with her audience. Her style covers genres from alt-indie-pop, rock, indie pop, and pop-alt. The versatility in her tracks is extremely impressive; she goes from  “How Bout We” to “Still Here (Slow Dances)” seamlessly. Whimsey released her first single “Loving You (Was Killing Me)” in 2020, and her first album, “Love, Love” in 2024. Keep up with Violet Whimsey by visiting her social media pages linked below. I’m thrilled to see what she does next! Written By Hanna Hathaway FOLLOW VIOLET WHIMSEY: Instagram   | Spotify  | TikTok  | Facebook  | YouTube   *Sponsored Post - Discovered on Musosoup.

Setlist Death of an Executioner Bulls in the Bronx Pass the Nirvana I’m Low on Gas and You Need a Jacket I’d Rather Die Than Be Famous Where Is My Mind? (Pixies Cover) Floral & Fading Yeah Boy and Doll Face She Makes Dirty Words Sound Pretty Today I Saw The Whole World Wonderless May These Noises Startle You In Your Sleep Hell Above Caraphernelia Emergency Contact Circles Encore Disasterology Hold On Till May King For A Day (feat. Kellin Quinn) Pierce the Veil is a rock band founded in San Diego, California, in 2007, and consists of lead singer Vic Fuentes, guitarist Tony Perry, bassist Jaime Preciado, and touring drummer Loniel Robinson. From their humble beginnings in the SoCal post-hardcore scene, the band rose to stardom as they joined the Warped Tour lineup in 2007 and toured with more established bands like Breathe Carolina, Blessthefall, and Bring Me the Horizon.  However, nothing shot them to success like their 2012 album, “Collide With The Sky.” This album entered the U.S. Billboard 100 Chart at number 12 and sold over 27,000 in its debut week. This album also featured fellow musicians like Kellin Quinn, the lead singer of fellow post-hardcore band Sleeping with Sirens, and Jason Butler of the metalcore band Letlive. It soon became their defining album, launching them to new levels of fame and attracting more fans than ever.  Pierce the Veil has been my favorite band for over 12 years. I remember being up late one night and stumbling across this lyrics video to “ A Match Into Water, ” off of CWTS. I was instantly hooked. I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve seen them perform live, and I used to own countless pieces of merchandise. My room was once plastered with posters and printed-out photos of the band. I would spend hours in my room reblogging gifs of them on Tumblr and watching interviews and music videos. At 20, I got a tattoo of their lyrics, and though I’ve grown up and learned to love different artists and genres of music, PTV will always be my true love. I was fortunate to see them again at their sold-out show in Nashville, Tennessee, on June 3 at the Nashville Municipal Auditorium. They were supported by the pop-rock band Beach Weather (who I was honestly surprised to see on this tour lineup, since they normally tour with less heavy bands like The Maine), and their frequent tour partners, Sleeping with Sirens. Because the line to get into the venue was wrapped around the building (and I had  to stop at the merch stand when I finally got inside), I missed Beach Weather’s set. However, I was able to make it just in time for Sleeping with Sirens to start. This is the fourth time I’ve seen them on tour with PTV, so I knew most of their songs. It was fun to tap into some nostalgia as they played hits like “A Trophy Father’s Trophy Son” and “If You Can’t Hang.” By the end of their set, the audience was amped up to see PTV come on. Photo: Stage visuals After some time, the house lights dimmed, and banners depicting icons from all five PTV albums were illuminated in red. The crowd waited with bated breath as “El Rey” by the prolific Mexican songwriter José Alfredo Jiménez, played. This ranchera song is about a man who doesn’t let life’s hassles prevent him from becoming a king. Pierce the Veil has always been deeply proud of their Mexican heritage and frequently integrates it into their shows and musical compositions. Soon, “El Rey” faded into the opening notes of “Death of an Executioner” from their 2023 album, “The Jaws of Life.” The adrenaline was high as the band entered the stage.  While I had checked the setlist before my show, every song felt like a delightful surprise.  There was a beautiful mix of old and new songs across all five albums. While I loved hearing some of my favorites from CWTS and their 2016 album “Misadventures”, I was excited that their first album, “A Flair for the Dramatic,” finally  had its chance to shine on this setlist. In all the years I’ve been attending PTV shows, this album has been sadly skipped over. Some of the songs from this album that were a highlight for me on the setlist were “I’d Rather Die Than Be Famous,” “Yeah Boy and Doll Face,” and “Wonderless.”  They also played a snippet of the song, “She Makes Dirty Words Sound Pretty.” This song was released as a bonus track on their 2010 album “Selfish Machines,” but it is not available on Spotify, so newer fans may not know it. However, the long-time fans sang every word loud and clear. It’s a song many of us thought we would never hear live, but the experience fully exceeded my expectations. Photo: Stage visuals during "Disasterology" Soon, the first act was over, and the band returned to the stage for their encore. The first encore song, “Disasterology,” is one of my favorite songs and one I’ve never heard live before. Even though I knew it was on the setlist, I still couldn’t believe what I was hearing as the opening guitar riff played.  Next, they played their quintessential track, “Hold On Till May.” Since its release, this song has been a source of strength for fans due to its hopeful message. It’s always emotional to hear live, and with Fuentes’ beautiful vocals behind it, it will never fail to give me chills.  Finally, the band closed out with their tried and true closing track, “King For A Day,” bringing Kellin Quinn back out to sing along. This is a song I tend to skip when listening to the album in my car, but it’s perfect for their live shows.  Photo: Pierce The Veil Guitarist Tony Perry Through the night, Perry’s guitar playing skills continued to outshine any other guitarist I’ve ever witnessed. Preciado’s ever-present energy had him bouncing across the stage and hyping the fans up in the crowd. As the newest member of the band, Robinson also stood out with his impeccable drumming abilities, and the speed at which he moved was incredible to watch.  This concert felt simultaneously like I was 11 years old seeing them for the first time, and like I was seeing them for the millionth time. The crowd was on its feet all night and didn’t let up for even a second. Pierce the Veil has an electric quality about them that makes every live show feel like the highlight of the audience’s lives. I am so proud to have listened to them for so long, and I can’t wait to hear the incredible music I know they will create in the future. They will always be a place of solace for me and hold a special place in my heart. For them, I will always Hold On Till May.  Written By Tessa Brainard Instagram | Twitter | Facebook | Spotify | TikTok | YouTube *copyright not intended. Fair use act, section 107.

Fervent singer-songwriter Erynn McLeod has just released her decade-spanning anthem "Quiet," an evocative track that follows McLeod's journey through life and complex personhood. Sending out a resounding message filled with maturity, acceptance, and the simultaneity of identity and experience, McLeod reflects on her triumphs and tribulations. The powerful lyric " I am simultaneously 9 and 19, 29 / The ending of a decade and I finally have a healthy mind" captures the very essence of accumulation and the passage of time. Her song is a product of life, of having lived through every phase, of fully experiencing the growing pains of knowing and not knowing, and of making peace with the amalgam of mistakes and choices that make up our very beings. Her proud admittance of imperfection and her proclamation of what she is and what she is not have given listeners an authentic taste of McLeod's honesty and character. "Quiet" is a deeply personal and relatable track for many who have taken their walks through life and come out of it with a subtle fondness. "Quiet" is sentimental yet powerful, fueling a spirited uproar in the listener in spite of its title. McLeod truly showcases her lyrical depth and impressive range throughout this song, resonating deeply within each listener. In addition, the strings serve as a pivotal point in the piece: light, grounding, and ever-present. These stringy instrumentals provide a point of return, creating a nice back-and-forth relationship between the song's impassioned surges and its natural ebb. As a soft contrast, McLeod's vocals are clean, yet angsty; her emotions shine shine through powerfully and complement the instrumentation well. The spoken bridge is echoey and intimate, giving us goosebumps of awe. The inspirational words that McLeod lends us here are candid and birthed from her own story, which make the song feel more personalized altogether. Overall, "Quiet" is a track that swells and grows alongside McLeod to create something truly beautiful, memorable, and real. With it, we are left with the perfectly bittersweet taste of growing as we go. Erynn McLeod is a rising singer-songwriter with an extensive background in music. Based in Charlottesville but connected to her roots in New York, the decorated singer-songwriter has curated her musical theater and folk-inspired sound into something more distinct and contemporarily her own. Studying and graduating in music and musical theater across NY and Europe, McLeod exhibits a true passion for her craft, honing her skills in various genres and backgrounds. Her most recent release, "Quiet," is a work shared off of her debut EP titled "Man of the House" and prepares audiences for the new wave of sound and creativity on the horizon. Set to release on June 27th, fans eagerly await to see what heart-stirring hits McLeod has in store! Stay tuned and follow her socials below for more updates on releases.

ILUKA’s new release is a nonchalant ode to the dry dating scene that devalues the lush experience of going out with a “ california boy ”- a canon event for most. She starts with an account of a common first date with this type of man: he “ drank black coffee and drove around/ the stereo playing some indie band I don’t know, ” which could be charming at first. However, things become uncomfortable when he says “ it’s just casual ” then flies her “ out to Mexico ”, where he ruined the perfect view with his love for cigarette smoke. ILUKA makes a snarky comment, “ you’re so punk rock heavy metal/ soft like a flower petal ” she knows he thinks he’s “ such a dream ”. This sarcastic remark applauds this guy’s fulfillment of enticing attributes, paired with a reality check. At first glance, he seems enchanting, until ILUKA reminds everyone that he’s suffering from a lack of originality and emotional availability. This track is a warning for lovers interested in those sly, captivating, destructive, “ california boys ”, and an anthem for those who’ve experienced them! “California Boys” begins with a comprehensive intro that provides a sneak peak of the chorus and attracts attention. After starting with a high energy sound, ILUKA proves her vocal ability by gently slicing through a foot-tapping indie-pop beat, while telling the details of her story. With resounding precision, ILUKA controls each note progression allowing an essential isolation that creates a sing-along bridge before the chorus. This track plays with electric instruments in a way that bends strings for an ethereal sound. ILUKA’s voice is unmistakably malleable, caught in notes that warp beautifully, engaging millions of listeners. With this, there’s also a layer of energy that animates the track for an electrifying, indie-pop sound. This song ends with a fade out that invites listeners to hit “repeat”. Inspired by Janis Joplin and Stevie Nicks , ILUKA is an artist from the Blue Mountains of Australia that has accumulated a dedicated follower base. ILUKA learned about music from her father, who crafted handmade guitars that contributed to her career as an artist. She’s been featured in Rolling Stone and FLAUNT Magazine , and has over 250K monthly listeners on Spotify. ILUKA has showed up on NME , and has over 5 million streams from her 2024 single “Wings” on Spotify alone. She released her first single “Sympathy” in 2014, and has undoubtedly grown as an artist in the past 10 years. As a self-proclaimed “witchy cowgirl”, ILUKA is gaining recognition.

In her new release, “In My Bones,” Mia Humphrey returns to herself after a period of losing herself and questioning who she is. Based upon a journal entry from the summer of 2024, this song is a celebration of Humphrey rediscovering and reconnecting with who she is at her core. Throughout the song, Humphrey details the joy of finally coming back into her own, saying that “[she] can feel it in [her] chest / that this is coming to an end,” finding joy in the known. With inspiration drawing from Noah Kahan’s “Northern Attitude,” Humphrey’s take on a folk-pop celebration shows clearly that she doesn’t only know who she is, but also knows where she shines. “In My Bones” covers the troubling journey of losing yourself, but the relief of knowing that you’ll know yourself again soon enough. Through reminders of who she is and “sifting through the memories” of what has happened, Humphrey returns triumphant to herself instead of “[loving] until [she loses herself],” getting herself out of a cycle that’s trumped not only her life, but a lot of listener’s lives as well. Tackling a topic that can be hard to approach emotionally, Humphrey does so by acknowledging the past and reminding herself that relearning herself are “the pains of growing.” Humphrey is not only successful at reminding herself that there’s a light of the end of the tunnel when relearning herself, but also is successful by reminding listeners on their own journey as well. Mia Humphrey is a singer-songwriter who was raised in Alexandria, Virginia. A recent graduate from Brown University, Humphrey was not only a student but pursuing her own music career as well. First releasing music during the summer of 2020, Humphrey has released three EP’s as of late: “Project Red Notebook,” “The Garden,” and “White Flags.” Releasing “In My Bones” on her graduation weekend, Humphrey looks back on all of the versions of herself, throughout her music and her own journal entries, in celebration. With “In My Bones” becoming the lead single off of Humphrey’s newest project, Humphrey’s voice is one that listeners can’t get enough of.

Natalie Claro released her latest single “Spiders” on May 30, 2025. This song is about the rude and unnecessary actions and thoughts people take. Every single day there are thousands of people who don’t think twice before squashing a bug or spray painting the side of a building. While they may see these actions as a normal thing in reality, they are hurting the precious world we live in. Doing something just because you feel like it is a common practice, there is no need for permission by anyone. But doing something that intentionally hurts another should be a thought that is considered for a while.   “Spiders” begins with the most hypnotic vocals I have ever heard. I enjoyed the beginning of this track because it gave such a chilling sense with the high-pitched vocals. Immediately after the intro was over there was a powerful scream that started off the rest. The scream was my favorite part as it was different but unexpected making me intrigued to listen to the rest of the track. The meaning behind this song holds such a deep emotion and the pop rock elements bring the whole thing together. Especially with lyrics like “Find a heart on a sleeve / Cut it and watch it bleed.” I really enjoyed everything about this song. It was so unique in the message and the musical elements were fantastic.   Natalie Claro is a singer/songwriter from Los Angeles, California. While she creates all her music, she also produces her music as well making everything authentically her. In 2016 she released her first EP titled “Atychiphobia” and has released ever since. The music that she releases falls under that of the alternative pop rock and indie pop genre. The music industry is no stranger to Natalie as she has been on many tours that have allowed her to master her craft. I highly recommend you listen to her brand new single “Spiders.” Be sure to also follow her social medias below and never miss out on another release.

Carmon’s “Unravel Me” explores the dynamic of grief after the bitter-sweet ending of an unsure relationship. She copes with “ I drink whiskey like I wear perfume, ” which is an artistic hint at self destruction in the presence of mourning. Carmon’s style is reminiscent of romantic literature blended with contemporary habits, singing “ bed of roses, late lover’s doom ” mentioning the “ morning dew ", “ stars ”, and “ moonlight ” through an appreciation of nature and emotion. “Unravel Me” presents a literary sophistication different from contemporary lyricism, which invites a deeper resonance and acknowledgement of the piece. Carmon craves a shared vulnerability with “ my biggest insecurities, unravel me, ” but is greeted with “ desperation and deceit ” instead. This leads to a wavering loss, confusion, and memories she “ can’t replace ”. Carmon finally weighs the result of the love she “ could’ve made ” realizing that she must let all of this past “ good ” go, tainted with an all-or-nothing exaggeration. This track begins like a ballad, transitioning into triumphant truth and heated vocals. The repetitive rhythm and meter of the first few lines ingrain the listener with sympathy as they get a glimpse of Carmon’s vivid, tragic story. A soft drum carries her chorus, leading up to light vocals, complete with a final, bold twist to close the chorus. This twist is characterized by slowed instrumentals, repeating the main lyric, and an almost sassy last “ unravel me ”. Carmon’s voice is distinct, sturdy, and breezy, all at the same time. She conveys emotion, and leads the guitar’s commentary. She isolates her voice for emphasis, complimented by the flair of the instrumentals that flutter around her vocal variability. Carmon’s “Unravel Me” is the space between love and resentment, delivered by a sound that follows suit.  Carmon works to create music exploring themes of mental wellness, anxiety, and self-exploration. She’s an Australian, neurodivergent, singer/songwriter who’s influenced by artists like Phoebe Bridgers and Olivia Rodrigo . She graduated from JMC Academy with a Bachelor of Music and a Songwriting Specialization. Music has helped her address the hardships of Autism, ADHD, and Anxiety, and she’s released more than 14 songs on Spotify so far. She also joined emo-grunge band, Vampire Vampire to challenge her versatility. Her debut album, “All My Life”, is set to release in 2026, and she recently performed at St Albans Folk Festival . She frequently performs at bars/venues in Sydney, and her song “Burnout” was played on several FM stations. Carmon is a well-rounded artist, and I’m excited to see what she does next- visit her socials linked below for more information!

Natalie Reigo’s new song, It Was You, is a catchy R&B infused pop song touching on the theme of teenage heartbreak. Dig deep in your brain to find that memory from your personal life. Are you there yet? When you’re young, it really does feel like the person you’re currently dating is the love of your life. You believe you’ll get married, buy a house, have children, and live happily ever after. It’s all very superficial and cheesy, but love in real life is almost never like the movies. Most of us are not going to end up with our high school sweethearts. Most of us are not even going to get married young. Love and heartbreak is a constant cycle that we have to navigate deep into adulthood until we reach the person we’re meant to be with forever. It Was You starts with a muffled audio recording where you can feel the pain and disappointment in her tone. In the first verse, she sings “Fell pretty hard, but knew from the start. We would turn out sour”. In the chorus, she sings “Sweet as sugar, cold as ice. Hurt me once, but feels like twice”. The bridge is interesting because it turns into a hip hop/EDM breakdown and, then bursts back into the chorus. It’s quite a juxtaposition given the rest of the song is her singing over a pulsating drum. The outro is a nice fade-out with her singing become softer and softer. Her vocals are smooth and controlled and the production fits her singing style. Natalie Reigo is an 18 year old singer-songwriter hailing from Stockholm, Sweden. Her music blends pop, R&B, and soul. She has covered a plethora of popular songs on her Youtube channel like Ariana Grande ’s “ Dangerous Woman ” and Zara Larsson ’s “ Carry You Home ”. She has collaborated with many experienced producers and writers. She has even performing alongside prominent Swedish artists including Smash Into Pieces , Tusse , Hanna Ferm , and more. She has a lot of experience under her belt so far in her young career. As she continues to make waves on the international music scene, I won’t need to tell you stream her songs because you’ll already be a fan.
