- Review: "Ghost" - Hannah Duckworth
There are people who come into our lives and paint every surface, and once they leave we’re stained with the memories. Days come and go with them consuming your mind to the point where it feels like the reminders of them will haunt you into the afterlife. “Ghost” is a new single by Hannah Duckworth that will be featured on her upcoming EP. She wrote this song about being haunted by a past lovers ghost. All she can think about them and it’s exhausting. “Can’t get you out my head, you’re gonna haunt me until I’m dead.” It brings all the early 2000’s energy with a sweet and angsty pop vibe. The melody for “Ghost” was a quick idea Hannah was able to capture in only two minutes before walking into the room to record. She collaborated with Mike Pepe on this track as well as her entire EP. Together they finalized this song in four hours which is incredibly impressive. They used a collective of metaphors including dirt under nails, taste in her mouth, a test wearing thin, stains on her reputation, etc. to really stress the idea of this person lingering throughout her day to day life. “You’re so invisible, but you’re always there.” Throughout the song you can pick up that Hannah is past the reminiscent phase and just wants them to leave her alone. She’s tired of the constant presence, but even in her sleep they find her in her dreams. It’s hard to fully let someone go when you feel them in every crevice of your life, but hopefully as time goes on, Hannah and all the others out there can put their ghosts to rest. Hannah Duckworth is a singer/songwriter based in Seattle. Her music blends pop-punk, emo and new age indie rock with deep, reflective lyrics that are relatable and catchy. She’s deeply inspired by the grunge era in the 90’s as well as the pop-punk era in the 2000’s which she incorporates into her music to bring a sense of nostalgia. Her debut single “SUMMER LOVE” was released in 2023 and her debut EP “Anywhere But Here” was released in 2023. Hannah is a quick worker with her strong talent and I am eager to see what her Sophomore EP brings. If you’re a fan of emotional, guitar driven music that has you head bumping while crying, then Hannah Duckworth is the artist for you. Her music will be the ghost of your thoughts in the best way possible. Written By Emylee Herring FOLLOW HANNAH DUCKWORTH: Instagram | Spotify | TikTok | Facebook | YouTube
- Review: "Temporary" - Kylie Rothfield
Being in a situationship is never pretty, but there is something about it that compels one to never want to give it up. Kylie Rothfield’s newest single, “Temporary”, explores the emotional rollercoaster of a toxic relationship by showing listeners that, no matter how good it feels in the moment, there is always an end. Kylie tells of the nitty gritty with her dreamy vocals laced with bittersweet lyrics. Along with this, the guitar riffs float throughout the verses, aiding in the anthem’s sound. With Kylie, there will always be a delivery of raw, emotional vocals and astounding guitar skills. This song is best paired with a walk in the city during sunset, as it empowers listeners. The dreamy-pop energy it oozes mixed with chill alt-rock undertones make this the perfect comeback song during the struggle of a situationship. Kylie not only wrote this song, but also produced the fun beats that tie it together in a perfect bow. Her soulful voice carries the message of the song well, with Kylie telling her counterpart how they need to come to the realization that this is not a forever thing: “I blocked your phone on Saturday / I keep on calling anyway / We’re always acting like it’s not / Temporary”. This chorus also has elegant background vocals that support her angelic grunge voice. However, the delicate yet fast-paced rhythm gives a lo-fi vibe. The prominent bass collides with the reoccurring drum beat to create a powerful dynamic, thrusting the song forward. Wobbly synths and small chimes perfectly fit the open spaces of the song, leaving no room for thinking about the sad reality. The layers of the guitars are placed gracefully throughout, either part of their own groovy flow or colliding to create a beautiful arrangement. To top this masterpiece off, the song slowly fades to leave her final thoughts on the matter. Kylie Rothfield is an accomplished songwriter, singer, and guiarist that is based out of California, where her hometown lies. After attending Berklee College of Music, she moved to Nashville, Tennessee to pursue her career in music. During this time, she caught the attention of many industry professionals that would soon launch her in 2014 with a Northwest/Midwest spring tour and multiple summer festival performances. She signed her first publishing deal in 2015, which landed her songs to be placed on ABC , MTV , NBC , and E! Network . In September of 2016, Kylie was selected to be on The Voice , who was then mentored by Alicia Keys and carried to the Top 20 live shows. Guest advisor Faith Hill was also blown away with Kylie, noting that she can sing anything. She is endorsed by Epiphone Guitars and most recently signed a new record deal with DVG Records. In current times, she has recorded her first full length album that is co-produced by herself, mixed by Rob Stevenson (Paul McCartney, Beach Weather), and mastered by Dave McNair (Demi Lovato, Allen Stone). Along with her album set to release in Spring of this year, Kylie is currently releasing singles leading up to the album. If you liked “Temporary”, be sure to give her a follow to stay up to date!

- Review: "Took" - Jenny Palacios
Validation can be a double-edged sword. No one can deny the allure of having people pat you on the back, telling you that you’re great and talented and will go far in life, but there comes a time when that feeling becomes more or less an addiction, and we end up needing it just to see value in our own selves. Jenny Palacios’ newest single “Took” is a meditation on online validation and its pitfalls. Blending rock, alt-pop, and pop rock, this track is part melancholy and part hopeful, discussing the struggles we have with balancing our digital lives while simultaneously considering what it means to simply be ourselves, without the veneer of perfection and the puppet strings online spaces have on us. “Took” is all about questioning our self-worth in the digital world. “Took” sounds like if you put all my favourite parts of alt-pop into a blender and blended it very, very well. There’s a little touch of everything in this track for those of you who like rock and alt-pop, and the gentleness of its instrumentals keeps it soft and earnest. For me, the song’s beautiful, slow-growing percussion is the superstar of the instrumentals, hitting the emotional highs with just the perfect amount of intensity that plays along with Palacios’ vocals, which are supremely elegant in their buttery smoothness. All together, the soundscape comes to form this super cathartic sound that has the air of a confession to it. The lyrics help to form that atmosphere, illustrating the narrator’s relationship with validation, although specifically from the internet. There’s a specific line that I really like, which goes, “took up the art of curation / my memories are all yours”, and I feel that it’s such a poetic way to describe how we are so specific in how we tailor our online personas just for other people to consume them. “Took” is a lovely, thought-provoking track that examines our relationship with faceless strangers on the internet, and ultimately wishing for us to find worth in ourselves rather than others’ opinions. Canadian singer-songwriter Jenny Palacios is based in Toronto, Ontario. Her musical journey was encouraged by her music teacher mother and was bolstered by her involvement in her local alternative music scene. Connectivity is important to Palacios’ artistry, and that has gone on to influence how she works in her community; she’s worked alongside singer and recording artist Lauren Babic, fronted her own pop rock band, and has opened for touring bands such as PVRIS, Hawthorne Heights, and I The Mighty. Her debut single “I Hope It Follows You” released in 2019, which was followed by an array of other singles throughout the years. Currently, she is working on writing and co-producing her first solo EP. “Took” is Palacios’ first release of 2025, and if you enjoyed it, consider following her to keep track of her EP’s development!

- Review: "The Problem" - Skylar Lee
“The Problem” by Skylar Lee is the epitome of a flawless pop song. From the clever lyrics to the infectious melody, her latest single is a certified banger. The cheeky track explores an experience everyone can admit to doing at least once – internet stalking. Lee admits to losing her mind as she becomes infatuated with her muse. She is obsessed with everything they do and keeps tabs on anything from their past and present. She fears being discovered by her subject, worried they will soon know about her crazy antics. She concludes the chorus with the lyrics, “Don’t listen to me too close when I’m talking // I’m not a maniac, I promise // But maybe I’m the problem.” The song conveys a hint of humor and a splash of self-deprecation, making “The Problem” one of my favorite releases from the singer. “The Problem” is a perfect pop song filled with stunning instrumentation and mesmerizing vocals. The track kicks off with Lee’s flawless voice and the smooth bassline. A subtle guitar riff accompanies the bass, providing a satisfying flow through the verse. When the chorus hits, the drum is introduced, bringing out the full instrumentation. The choppy line deliveries accentuate the sassy nature of the lyrics, making the song bouncy and fun to sing along to. When the second verse comes, the drums remain, maintaining the full sound for the remainder of the track. Additional guitar melodies enhance the song's dynamic and highlight Lee’s ingenious songwriting. In the build to the bridge, the instrumentation explodes before settling to angelic vocal harmonies and acoustic guitar melodies that set a demure tone – matching the “calm and collected” lyrics. Then, a muted guitar strums alongside her voice before breaking into the final chorus. The song is well-rounded, with an infectious soundscape and Lee’s signature lyricism, making “The Problem” the perfect start to the singer’s 2025 releases. Skylar Lee is a pop singer, songwriter, and producer based in Nashville.

- Review: "Angel" - Jack Dean
Artist Jack Dean stuns with his latest release titled “Angel” – an embodiment of the rollercoaster that is balancing romance & life. Dean tells the story of an on again, off again relationship between himself and someone he refers to as “Angel”. He describes their relationship through using examples that paint a messy portrait of the pair, detailing how sweet nothings are said to brush aside the issues they face. Though, as messy as love can be, there is another side to the situation. As Dean states throughout “Angel” in moments that are purposely relaxed and drawn back, carving time for specific focus – “the love don’t die”. The interweaving of layers within this relationship is deep and profound, and Dean does not shy away from replicating that through both sound and lyricism. Though the romance in “Angel” may pose hard-pressed, difficult feelings, Dean fantastically created a track that well represents opposing, differing emotions while hooking listeners to tune into more. From the initial listen, “Angel” felt familiar to me – like a song lost from childhood. Dean’s voice has a classic pop charm to it, reminding me specifically of early 2000’s English pop. Though, far off from the distinct sound of this time period, “Angel” has instrumental qualities that stem from an earlier decade. The sound of the bass guitar seemingly draws direct inspiration from the 1980s, adding emphasis especially to the chorus with its low & funky strumming. Through details like this, “Angel” has a nostalgic sensation to it that draws listeners in delicately. Dean allows the song to breathe where it needs and puts emphasis & detail in areas where it counts, consistently switching to fit the lyrics and sticking by their meaning in sound. While this story may consist of struggle & confusion, it’s clear by its musical quality that “Angel” brings out the best feelings from listeners. Jack Dean is a 24-year-old producer, singer-songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist from the United Kingdom countryside. From early on in life, Dean’s family of musicians – especially his grandmother - inspired him to pursue music. From playing piano with his grandmother, to listening to metal music with his father, he has thrown himself into the art and hasn’t limited how he interacts with it. Dean has a wide-ranging and talent-filled background, working over the last few years as a producer & songwriter for other UK artists. In addition, Dean has amassed over 30 million views on Instagram Reels and TikTok through posting cover videos. Shortly after releasing his first EP, Dean was signed to the publishing company of Jamie Scott in 2022. Now, Dean has unveiled “Angel” – the second release off his debut album.

Layers of vocals and jaunty piano offer an energetic sound as the chorus picks up a jazzy blend of guitar. Vocalizing high and low, this song will saturate you in a freeing feeling before sending you back into the deep tone of the verse. Expressive singing pairs beautifully with bold drums, emphasizing the power of emotion felt in the lyrics. Brass instruments and guitar add a fun roundness to the track. Emulating the highs and lows of its lyrics, the sound of the song itself allows listeners to experience distraction as the bridge and chorus excitedly triumph over the emotional energy of the verse.

- Review: "Touch Ground" - Zoë Ferris
There are times when the burdens of our days seem to paralyze us, leaving us stagnant in a puddle satiated with doubt and uncertainty– wondering to ourselves if we could ever make it out, and breathe again. The harrowing troubles we encounter can make us question whether our efforts to find a steady beat truly matter. Or, if all the fighting we’ve engaged in to free ourselves from the bedlam is futile. It’s a dragging weight that acts as a cloak over our shoulders, and yet, when we’re at our brink, something manages to excavate our body from the bottomless pit of an incessant struggle. They fill our lungs with a breath that manages to whisk away our worries, whilst offering us a moment to breathe. They catch us midfall, holding tightly onto our shaking hands that grapple for stability, our frenetic hearts that race, desperately trying to find a moment of tranquility. This love offers us the peace we are searching for, we can touch ground with their presence, offering comfort. “Touch Ground” by Zoë Ferris is a story, crafted into a beautiful tune, about being able to touch ground with the help of someone who washes away our unwavering worries that we find ourselves running from. With lyrics like “This week feels like coming up for air,” which denotes the significance this love has on Zoë’s presence, being liberated and placated from her struggles. Click here to listen to "Touch Ground"! The opening notes of this song evoke a sense of forlorn in me, the chords of the guitar pull at the tender strings of my heart, setting the tone almost immediately– that this song was going to be something that would serve as a warm embrace for those who offer a listening ear. Zoë’s voice constructs the song into its last finishing touches, utilizing the innate instrument of her melfilous voice to cast emotions into her listeners with such striking lyrics that not only manage to produce feelings, but tell a vehement story about extricating ourselves from the tight grasp of worry, falling into the arms of a love that ultimately frees us. I’d love to especially point out the fact that Zoë doesn’t particularly title this love. She doesn’t label it, nor does she objectify it. It allows us to tie a connection with this love ourselves. This love doesn’t have to be a person, either. It can be any little thing that helps us find our ground. It’s what makes the song so special, acting as an open hug for those who need comfort. Zoë Ferris, the artist behind such a beautifully crafted song, is a singer-songwriter based in Toronto. She resonates with genres like indie pop with a blend of raw and heartfelt lyrics that elicit painstaking thought and fervent emotion in her listeners. Zoë’s passion for music started rather early in her life, heavily inspired by her father. She found direction in his leading footsteps by the stories of his days back when he was in a band of his own. Since then, songwriting was something she utilized to navigate herself through the debacles of life, making music based on her experiences throughout her years as a young teenager. So far, Zoë has released two singles, “Touch Ground” along with her debut single titled “Pushing Daises” yet another song that can plant emotive sentiments deep within our hearts.

- Review: "I Could Be Him" - Matthew Orgel
"I Could Be Him" by Matthew Orgel is a song about wanting to be like someone else; seeing that they are perfect and wanting to be just like them. This could evolve from having a crush on someone and wanting to imitate that person so you can impress them, as per the line "He's got everything in check, and I'm a little bit obsessed". The lyrics may be written in the perspective of someone who easily gets lost in the crowd and is not as popular as the person they want to be - that is one of the main reasons why they want to be him. They want to be as popular as him so they can get his attention, something many people can relate to.

The bass line makes the song very distinct and creatively produced. The main guitar chords are what makes the song so upbeat, and the fact that they change throughout the song really adds depth to the instrumentation. That and the sparkling synths also add to the summery essence the song radiates.
