B Dayton’s latest single, CD Player, is an upbeat indie pop/pop rock song about not getting sucked back into a previous relationship. Despite all the attempts his ex has made to get back with him, he puts his foot down and refuses to be played yet again. I appreciate his authenticity when it comes to heartbreak and being able to say the hard part out loud. You’re not entirely over your former lover so it feels like a sign when they come crawling back. It feels like you should leap on the opportunity or you’ll never be able to find love again. CD Player immediately starts with the hook causing you to unapologetically nod your head to the beat. In the chorus, he sings “You give me a reason, a stupid feeling to come back and ruin my growth. Fast forward. You’re not my favorite song anymore. Burn that CD player!” It’s nostalgic and timeless while still sounding fresh. In addition to great vocals, the song is groovy with polished production. Song of the summer vibes at the end of summer makes it a perfect transition song to start the new fall season. I am adding this to my fall playlist! B Dayton is a singer songwriter hailing from New Albany, Indiana, but he is currently based in Nashville. He makes honest pop music with emotional lyrics accompanied by epic visuals and top-notch production. He has released other songs recently including “ Don’t Make Me! ” and “ Invisible ”. His discography dates all the way back to 2016. If you are interested in hearing all that he has to offer, I would suggest checking out his music. I will be blasting this song until the end of the year and I’m encouraging you all to do the same! Written By Jazz FOLLOW B DAYTON: Spotify  | Facebook  | Instagram | YouTube | Website

Izzy Escobar’s new single, Sunny In London, is an indie pop song about life after a breakup. In the music video, she’s roaming the streets of London while drinking beer and dancing with an umbrella. The vibe and atmosphere are bright, but the lyrics are somewhat sad. This juxtaposition is authentic and an all too real experience for most of us. While her heart is torn and she's trying to pick up the remaining pieces, at least it’s sunny in London. At least there’s something nice to look forward to. Staying positive and trying to find happiness are all we can do when things don’t work out the way we hoped. Sunny In London starts with a beautifully played violin and soft piano double punch that is quite soothing to the ears before kicking into the first verse. Throughout the song, she sings “I made a few mates at the pub next door. Had a quick beer but it turned to four” and “There’s a part of me that knew it. I’m so glad I dodged that bullet.” Some lyrics express sadness while others express relief and gratitude. I love the visual storytelling in the lyrics, her powerful vocals, and her overall singing tone because they make her stands out from the crowd. Izzy Escobar is a singer songwriter hailing from Massachusetts. She brings a unique twist to the pop landscape as a half Cuban and half Italian woman having had lessons in classical violin and piano. You might have already ran into her singing videos on social media. She’s moved from Los Angeles to New York City while writing her debut album. She has one other song, “ These Eyes ”, that was released earlier this year. As a new artist on the scene, she’s already off to a great start and I hope to hear more from her soon. If you’re looking for new artists to support, she needs to be one of them. Written By Jazz FOLLOW IZZY ESCOBAR: Instagram | Spotify  | TikTok  | YouTube

To put it simply, love is terrifying. Love is complicated and each person comes with their own set of baggage and flaws. This may scare certain people away, only wanting to reap the rewards of the fun parts of a relationship without the inherent hard work that a serious connection demands. However, this isn’t everyone. That is the story that TYYE tells in the song “whole thing”. Rather than only wanting a fling for the fun of it all, TYYE sings of an all-consuming love. A love that you want to put in the work for. In “whole thing”, TYYE is there for it all - even the ugly parts. TYYE states that the story behind “whole thing” is a previous experience of not having deep feelings reciprocated in a relationship. This R&B track is a perfect blend of a catchy tune and vulnerable lyrics with raw emotion. The track begins with a groovy percussion beat before a bouncy synth enters with the vocals. The vocals have an ethereal and dreamy quality. In the chorus, the song becomes fuller and more upbeat. The bridge mellows out before the final chorus introduces beautifully layered harmonies in the vocals. The dream-like effect in the vocals contribute to the song's message about desiring someone and wanting to be a part of their life. They create the sense of fantasizing about someone. Overall, the song has a more mellow and groovy vibe that creates a sense of realism, recognizing that love may come with bumps in the road and wanting to go along for the entire ride. TYYE is an artist from Kansas, United States. TYYE incorporated more pop influences in the creation of “whole thing”, drawing inspiration from artists such as The Weeknd, Ariana Grande, Glass Animals, and Justin Bieber. This song was made in collaboration with local producer Braxton Medellin and it was mastered by Jackson Maddox. TYYE’s debut album was released in January of 2025, after which he performed in mainly local gigs. He is planning a performance later this year that will jumpstart a new era in his musical journey, with an EP, a full band, and staging. With songs of this quality and emotional value, TYYE will no doubt create a fantastic legacy for himself in the industry.  Written By Victoria Fitzgerald FOLLOW TYYE: Instagram   | Spotify  | TikTok  | YouTube   *Sponsored Post - Discovered on Musosoup.

I think what makes this song so unique is how talented Sam is in making a song that feels big and fun pairing it with lyrics that are incredibly vulnerable and sensitive. The imagery of this song are definitely the stongest points with the point of view of the song being how desperately Sam seems to want a conversation about a relationship coming to an end. The lyrics that sums up the whole song is "let's sit by the fire tonight underneath the velvet sky" which paints a picture so perfectly, it feels like you're right there in the scene. The musicality of the song also connects with this lyrics with an acoustic guitar and harmonica throughout bringing out those folk-y notes. Sam Heselwood is a singer-songwriter from New Zealand.

Photo Credit: MELODIC Magazine After having a breakthrough year last year, Laufey is back with a stronger, creative, adoring, romantic and heart-breaking album called A Matter Of Time. This album show the absolute brilliance of Laufey's mind and heart. This album is different than most in the way that Laufey ties an entire story together in small pieces in each song leaving audiences with a beautiful, gentle fairytale album that they'll love. TRACKLIST Clockwork Lover Girl Snow White Castle in Hollywood Carousel Silver Lining Too Little, Too Late Cuckoo Ballet - Interlude Forget-Me-Not Tough Luck A Cautionary Tale Mr. Eclectic Clean Air Sabotage Clockwork The album begins with "Clockwork" - a song that really brings us back to the roots and uniqueness of Laufey's sound. The musicality of this song introduces us back to how Laufey brought jazz back into the music industry with ease. It's incredibly smooth and gentle which compliments her voice while the lyrics are very personal. The idea behind this song is almost a tell on how she's grown up. Her last album felt very hopeless romantic-like while this song introduces us to how it feels like she's got crushes down to a T. One of my favorite lines from this album is "And nothing brings e fear like meeting with my destiny." Lover Girl "Lover Girl" brings a whole new genre to the conversation switching from jazz to classic bossa nova. This song speaks volumes to Laufey's take on love and how, like me, we tend to do a lot of work in our minds when it comes to having a crush. I love the way she becomes infatuated with this person but somehow makes it so lovingly and like a fairytale. One thing that I really love too is how self-aware she is about what she's thinking about. In the bridge of the song she even mentions, "God, I'm hallucinating" which makes it incredibly relatable as we all get to that point. Snow White By far, this is one of the saddest songs that I've ever heard in my life. I don't know if it was the fact that I was driving across the country by myself after working so much and taking a much needed vacation, but this song brought me to tears. There's so much I want to say about this song but I'll try to sum it up. The vulnerability from this song comes from Laufey's insecurities of not feeling pretty, body image issues that not only she deals with but women as a whole. The worse thing about this song is the accuracy of it all. It feels that people who look a certain way get opportunities that other people might not get. The thing I love the most about this song is the corrolation of this song's title and the lyrics. One of the main things we know about Snow White is the mirror that tells the villain lies. Laufey connects the dots with this with a line, "But mirrors tell lies to me, my mind just plays along." This song is, dare I say, a perfect song. So beautifully gentle while also absolutely real and hard. Photo Credits: Pitchfork Castle In Hollywood This song marks a different type of love - a best friend and the heartbreak that comes along when that break up occurs. The lyrics take us down a road of a ton of history that Laufey had with this friend. She talks about "the end of girlhood," "dating the boy that they dreamed of," and being tied to this person with a string really marking important moments that friends have with each other. The bridge gives us a little more insight as to what happened that brought this friendship to an end. All in all, a sad story that unfortunately is too real for a lot of people. Carousel Laufey has managed to find a way to make a song feel so whimsical, light and dainty. The piano in this song sound exactly like a carousel or circus music. This is another song where Laufey has been able to take a point of view and really double down. For example, the very first line of this song is, "my life is a circus." Laufey uses a carousel as an example of that never-ending feeling of things sort of spiraling. She points out that she's hoping someone will come along to bring her down and make it all stop going in circles all while throwing in callbacks to the circus idea. Silver Lining This song is able to flex Laufey's ability to switch to a swooney, lounge-singer style with an orchestra that compliments her voice so well, it'll make anyone a fan right away. The lyrics are so smart in this song. It's the perfect song for when our main characters are finally falling in love with each other in a rom-com. The point of this song is how some people you can favor so much that it doesn't matter how bad the situation is, as long as she's with this other person, she'll be fine and have a great time. A Little, Too Late In the song "A Little, Too Late," Laufey delivers another heartbreaking love song which is what really captured audiences with her last album about how willingly she was being vulnerable. Following the themes of the album of fairytale-esque stories and lyrics, this song feels a bit like the villain. The song is driven by an orchestra behind Laufey, which builds up and down helping making things more dramatized with each word Laufey sings. To me, this feels like the most like the artist versus any other song on the album. Cuckoo Ballet - Interlude This isn't something you see all the time, especially in our day and age with albums coming out usually with a certain agenda - write a ton of singles versus one cohesive story. Laufey ties in her love for classical music by giving us a dainty, fun song. No lyrics, just what sounds like a small band that is giving the singer a chance to flex on, again, as many ways to tie in a fairytale theme. Forget-Me-Not This song is just outright beautiful to listen to. This song shows off the singers icelandic roots as she intertwines the language with English throughout the song all while touching on the subject of her leaving home to pursue music. Laufey writes about her homeland and her journey all while pleading in the song to ensure that her home doesn't forget about her. The thing that I love so dearly about this song is how it's written like she's talking about a person, personifying Iceland and her childhood. Tough Luck Laufey is known for long, drawn out, classical music but every now and then we get a sliver of Laufey doing something out of her typical wheelhouse. Tough Luck feels like it's that. The beginning of the song feels the same starting out as any other song but then Laufey incroporates an acoustic guitar as well as some drums, all accompanying the orchestra. The lyrics are also just so amazing. Finally, Laufey being able to get revenge for all the heartbreak that she's been experiencing throughout her other songs. The bridge is one of the greatest points of this song where things really hit a high. A Cautionary Tale This song feels like what a lot of young adults really need to hear when trying to break into adulthood as well as experiencing deep heartbreak. Laufey goes through what it's like to come to terms with how giving too much of yourself in a relationship but also while having some sort of understanding of your partner also not being their all. The bridge in this song is her explaining who this person actually was but not in a mean way at all. It's actually in a very understanding way that she finally comes to terms with the trauma that this other person was facing that she was not going to be able to change. Photo Credit: Evening Standard Mr. Eclectic Another bossa nova song but with lyrics that are incredible. Laufey brings up a subject that I don't think its talked about enough in music. She brings up how some people can come across very "high-brow" because they want to seem intelligent but in reality they just sound a bit cheap. It seems like Laufey had a bit of fun with this one. I know I had fun listening to it. Clean Air Finally a breakthrough for Laufey in terms of being able to move on. This song is so upbeat and bright which is extremely different from the entire album. Her vocals are something to note on this one too. Between the harmonizing and Laufey being able to have a little more freedom since this song take a folk appraoch. This feels like the song we've been wanting to hear from the singer of how she's finally on the up and up. This song touches on subjects of getting through a depressive phase and finally coming out of it being able to take a deep breath of fresh, clean air. Sabotage The last song on the album is Sabotage and boy, does it end the album with a bang. Laufey brings up the phrase, "A matter of time," which allows this song to really tie in the entire album with the title. The lyrics are so smart, touching on how sabotage which flips everything on it's head from before. It seems that the whole album, Laufey is spending it trying to be the bigger person but this song is just her letting it all go. She's ready for her own revenge. The music in this song is also so different from the rest of the song. What starts out nice and light quickly matches the energy of the lyrics and becomes so big and angry. All of this builds up to a point at the end where it sounds like the song cuts off short - just to send us right back to the top of the album to go through it all again. Album Summary It's very rare that I can sit and listen to an album from beginning to end and not just like almost every song but connect and love every single song. This album is one of the best ones that I've ever listened to between lyrics that make love seem so light and gentle to big and vicious. Laufey, yet again, has shocked me of what is capable of an artist and has somehow given us new outlooks on the idea of a love song. Written By Breanna M.

Jazzy Dale has released her new single, “I Get It Now.” With the rush of having someone see you for how you truly are against a production straight out of the 2000s, Dale has listeners falling in love with this song. With no “need to be naked,” the free-fall feeling of growing a crush on somebody quickly has Dale realizing that this feeling is what people talk about in the movies. Timbaland inspired, “I Get It Now” feels like a song meant to be set against a montage of first kisses, late-night dates in the city, and the feeling of everything clicking into place. While the feeling is terrifying, Dale encapsulates the electrifying feeling of falling for someone somewhat quickly in “I Get It Now.” Right up there with Cry Me A River, Maneater, and more, production on “I Get It Now” is an ode to the many iconic Timbaland-produced hits of the 2000s, and it’s an ode done right. Catchy with a beat that can soundtrack a night out, Dale hits the nail on the head when it comes to an infectious inferno of a song. While the production was definitely the standout of the song for me, I also cannot get over Dale’s vocals on “I Get It Now.” Carrying out a stand-out performance, Dale’s voice fits perfectly with this type of production and it’s clear that she is going to have listeners, both new and old, on the edge of their seats waiting for more after “I Get It Now,” myself included. Jazzy Dale is an up-and-coming singer hailing from Sydney and Eora. Focusing on R&B and pop, Dale’s discography is filled with hit after hit, including “Masquerade,” “Rich Boy,” and “Desperate.” While this may be only her tenth addition to her widening discography, Dale handles the microphone with ease, filling rooms with candid lyrics and five-part harmonies.

With over 12,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, it’s clear Dale isn’t slowing down anytime soon.

Kat Brix’s “ Promise Ring ”  sweetens heartbreak with the same love that changing seasons show us. We want to grow by someone’s side, but growth means change. Brix shows this maturity when she sings, “ It’s not your fault.” We find a new rhythm, a new pattern, a new beat to walk to. But sometimes that means we’re not walking by our partner’s side. Aspirations and goals we pick up can drag us further from the person we once wanted a life with. Brix approaches this ending with an appreciation for the past, the moments shared, and how her ex-partner changed her. The love isn’t gone, but it takes on a new form. The harmonic humming pulls you in like wind catching leaves in a swirling rotation. The focus on the layers feels like a telepathic exchange of her emotions, like a choir singing a sacred song. She sings like Charli XCX, Tove Lo, and MØ—with a voice that makes life feel like a party no matter the circumstance. The melancholic chord progression creates a comforting space to stop, pause, and observe the change. It’s a space to reminisce the presence of a partner felt like warm sunrays and to embrace a new pattern. The build-up to the chorus feels like a flashing, flickering reel of memories with the beat drop—each one a space for joy. But change is the most natural thing. Keeping the promise ring signifies this acceptance and the love engraved in it. Kat Brix is a Danish singer who writes electric music to let loose on the dance floor. Her debut single, “ In Love with a Psycho ,”  is a step into the club with strobe lights and good vibes. The bass and house beat push worries away, as if heartbreak is no match for her. She finds something to celebrate in each experience. “ Make It On My Own ”  shows the strength she aspires to share with her fans. The snares and hi-hats blast with the speed of a bullet train, powering adrenaline. Her latest release, “ Promise Ring, ”  finds a life within loss.
