“Optimist” is the newest single from Sloan Treacy , a song that points out the many flaws and errors a former significant other made that lead to the breaking up of the relationship they were in. Treacy describes the very poor qualities that this person possesses, some being oblivious, narcissistic, and too nonchalant in regards to the relationship, which is why it had to end. What mostly contributed to Treacy wanting to break up with this person is that they did not care about her or their relationship and she did not want to be with someone who disregarded these things despite their importance They were not willing to put in the work to keep the relationship alive, and it is hypocritical for her ex to call themselves an “optimist” when there was no future of them still being together. The production and instrumentation of “Optimist” progresses from acoustic to guitar pop to pop rock throughout the song’s timeline, making it musically diverse. The first section contains the strumming of a guitar to begin the song, which is shortly followed by more guitars layered with it and the introduction of drums. This then increases to finish out the rest of the single. “Optimist” was very creatively produced and is a perfect mix of pop and alternative music. Treacy is also an amazing vocalist and provides great melodies and harmonies during the song. Her voice is a fantastic match for the genres of the song and to how the instruments are played. Sloan Treacy is a singer-songwriter and musician based in Los Angeles and Nashville. She has been singing since she was very young and began playing the guitar and songwriting at nine years old. She began her music career in July 2024 with the release of her debut single “Mastermind of Madness”. Since then, she has released other amazing music, including her debut EP Stuck . She had posted several covers of songs from different artists, including “come out and play” by Billie Eilish and “Not Strong Enough” by boygenius . Treacy had said that she has plans to keep embarking on her musical journey. Sloan Treacy is an amazing and very talented artist!

As we grow up our parents are the only people who want to see us grow into the amazing person they know we can be. When we are younger there are so many fights and arguments that take place. We sit there and listen to the stern life lessons they give us wishing and wondering when they will be done so we can go about our day. There are hundreds of thoughts that go through our minds as to why we are getting yelled at or talked down to. But at the end of every conversation, they leave us with the message of “one day you’ll understand” or “one day you are going to thank me for this conversation.” Sure, we nod our heads as if we were even listening to anything they were saying but as we get older, we reminisce on those conversations and truly thank them for those times. Bardz new single “hold me close” delivers these same messages of growing up with a parental figure who in the end just knew one day we would understand and be eternally grateful.   “hold me close” is a unique song as it tells a beautiful story about times we have all gone through as children. While listening to the song I immediately related to it on so many levels. From growing up as a child to hearing these stern lectures to now being an adult and being so grateful, I was lucky enough to have parents who shaped me for life and all the lessons that it comes with. This track is extremely vulnerable with lyrics like “I’ve got moments with my father / Buried six feet down” and “Well, now that I’m the wiser, I see just what he means.” While the lyrics are so touching, his vocals really make you feel how intense this track is. He sings with a great amount of passion and sorrow throughout the entire track. My absolute favorite part was the instrumentals as they were gentle with a steady guitar and fast paced drums here and there.   Bardz is an all-around talented artist with backgrounds in numerous instruments from the drums to the keyboard right down to creating awesome tracks. He is a great singer and songwriter creating and releasing music since 2017 with his first single “Kelona.” In everything he puts out into the music industry he does so with deep meaning and amazing sounds for his listeners to relate to. His brand-new release “hold me close” came out May 2, 2025, and is just a teaser for his upcoming EP. “the only way out is through” is set to release May 30, 2025, with six tracks that I am sure are just as emotion filled with electric sounds. Be sure to follow his socials below and stay tuned for his next release.

It’s refreshing to hear such a layered production. Once the instrumentation is in full swing, this track truly comes to life. The addition of synths also brings a breezy and stylish texture to the sound. A personal highlight of “Fall For The Rhythm” is the accompanying classic pop vocals (they are as impressive as they are catchy).

It can feel at times that we've seen it all in music to the point where it's like there will never be a new genre ever again. Lil Nas X showed us that there are still ways to fuse genres together and DeathbyRomy is doing that exact same thing. On the newest album HOLLYWOOD FOREVER, the song "LITTLE DREAMER" is nothing short of absolute greatness and a masterpiece. Somehow mixing house music and punk rock/screamo, this song is thoughtful, eccentric, flashy and scary...but in a good way! The lyrics are catchy like that one pop song that takes over the charts in the summer but with a grunge sound that fuels anyones addiction to it. The effects used in this song are so smart sending the listener on an adventure all just shy of 3 minutes. It feels that the attention is immediately demanded by DeathbyRomy from the very beginining of this song as it starts off with this really cool sound of the guitar. Not always is technology used to make music even greater than what we can do on a human level, but this feels like one of those situations where it's used exactly like it's supposed to. The song then brings us into the pre-chorus which is a halftime screamo rock breakdown to then launching us right into the chorus. The chorus is unlike anything I've ever heard. It starts almost all the way acapella for the first two lines and then the drums turn into this wonderful pop sound. Somehow, DeathbyRomy has managed to mix mupltiple genres which has to be a talent of its own. It is truly remarkable. Romy Flores, who is known professionally as DeathbyRomy, is an American singer-songwriter from Los Angeles, California where at the young age of 15 started performing music starting her career. In 2018, her debut LP was released which has been followed by 3 studio albums, with the most recent one being from 2022 skyrocketing her music career.

More recently, her studio album HOLLYWOOD FOREVER, not only is where you can find "LITTLE DREAMER" but it was released on April 25th, 2025 allowing herself to launch into tour for the remainder of the year.

Being stuck in a relationship where there is so much love but yet that love isn’t valued is an impossible thing to understand. We often get stuck in how mesmerizing our partner is and while there is so much potential for a beautiful relationship that’s not all there is to it.

Sure, we can have all these things and still have love but are those same feelings felt on both sides? “no other way” by Ofir Sandler brings us the sad but hard truth of letting someone you love so deeply go. It may never or always feel like the right time but no matter how much love is present it’s never worth giving up your entire soul.   “no other way” begins with an enchanting melody that gives off the feeling that something better is to come.

While the instruments were superior her voice was fantastic with such deep and expressive emotions at every word.

Bursting onto the indie-pop scene, Queen Anne have released their debut single, "Real Enough." The quirky track seems to capture what it's like dealing with a narcissist, having them constantly blame you for everything while they think they're flawless. Talking about the song, lead singer Katie Silverman states, "Real Enough' is about that time when Queen Anne specifically ordered a chicken sandwich with NO CHEESE and it came with cheese on it anyway. Any resemblance to real persons, events, or situations is purely coincidental. If you feel this song is speaking to you personally, please call +1 (800) REFERENCE. In the event of an emergency, call someone who seems like they'd be helpful." A blend of '80s pop-punk and postmodern edge, Queen Anne's "Real Enough" is perfect for those looking to get lost in a nostalgic daydream. The track's soundscape is an equal mix of dark and ethereal, featuring driving beats, gritty bass lines, and haunting synths that give "Real Enough" a timeless feel. Silverman gives a compelling performance over the addictive instrumentals, bouncing between spoken and sung lines in a way that gives the track major attitude. Certainly original and dripping with angst, "Real Enough" by Queen Anne is a debut you don't want to miss. An American duo looking to make their mark on the indie world, Queen Anne is comprised of members Katie Silverman (lead singer/songwriter) and Sandy Chila (writer/producer).
