Following on the heels of their recent single, "River Of Tears," Seafret have delivered another masterpiece with their latest release, "Wait." The passionate track serves as a love letter to the duo's anchors in life, expressing their longing and gratitude to the places and relationships that give them a reason to return from touring. Exposing the inspiration behind the song's narrative, Seafret shared, "The reality of being a musician is a two-faced coin. On one side you have lots of incredible experiences and get to see places you could never have dreamt of going. The other is that it takes you away from everyone and everything you love and call home. This song is about finding those people, that place and praying they can hold strong until you return." Matching the single's tender, vulnerable lyrics, "Wait" exudes warmth and honesty as Seafret reflect over a vibrant, bittersweet soundscape. The track seamlessly blends folk rock with indie pop, creating an immersive atmosphere that features rich harmonies, spirited strings, and exhilarating vocals. Embracing the duality Seafret described as the song's inspiration, "Wait" incorporates melodies that are equal parts hopeful and melancholic, repeating a haunting hummed motif that's balanced by explosive, joyous choruses. Perfect for fans of acts like Mumford & Sons , The Lumineers , Train , and Noah Kahan , "Wait" is certainly a song no one wants to miss. A decade into their career, Seafret are a duo comprised of two best friends and musical co-conspirators, Jack Sedman and Harry Draper. Neither musician could have predicted the success they have seen, riding the wave of their hit single, "Atlantis," as it reemerged into the limelight through a viral TikTok moment that has gifted the pair over a billion streams and 10 million monthly Spotify listeners. Over the years, Seafret have built an impressive catalog, having released three studio albums as well as several EPs and singles. A reinvigorated band, amazing things are on the horizon for Seafret, but until then, some songs to enjoy include "Oceans," "Fall," "Wildfire," and "Give Me Something."

Looking back on our past can feel rewarding and terrifying. All the things we achieved and the people we were, yet the hurt we gained and carry still sits in the cracks. Growing up is scary because life is ever-changing and remembering how easy it used to be as a kid can make us wish for a do-over. “Long Jump,” by Ananya is a new single that channels nostalgia and the fear of growing up. The distance between who we were and who we are and finding the gratitude with it. The track has an intimate energy with the sound textures, indie instrumentation and deep lyricism. She explores her experiences with internal conflict and how in the end it will get easier. “Long Jump” is so raw in the way it showcases something we’ve probably all felt. I know I personally wish I could go back to the days of freedom where my only care was which game my friends and I were playing at recess. “Life was easier then, the girls were friends and the games were pretend.” Ananya spoke about the inspiration for the song and said, “It came from my deep love and appreciation for my childhood and the painful reality of being so far from it now. Growing up is daunting, leaving behind the best days of your life and the place you once called home.” It truly is so hard growing up in a time where social media affects our daily thoughts. We see a glimpse into everyone's life and with that comes comparison and fear for what the future holds and wondering if it will ever be enough or better yet, easier. We’ll never be prepared for what’s to come but we shouldn’t fear that no matter how overwhelming a thought it is. There’s peace in knowing everything that’s meant to happen will happen. Ananya is a Zimbabwe-born singer-songwriter now based in London. She fell in love with music at a young age and learned to play piano, guitar and drums, talk about talent! With her lyricism she fonds inspiration in artists such as Taylor Swift and Joni Mitchell. She writes to connect with herself and her listeners by sharing her personal experiences and the emotions that follow. Ananya released her debut single “Aftertaste” back in 2019 and released three chart-topping singles in Zimbabwe. Along with music, she is also a huge advocate for mental health. She cofounded The Nano Wellness project to address the mental health crisis in Zimbabwe. There’s nothing better than an artist who uses her platform to bring awareness to issues and aim to help in anyway she can. Ananya is a true inspiration for her talent, care and the way she carries herself. If you loved this release and want to follow her journey, follow the links below.

Losing connection with someone we once believed would be part of our lives for a plethora of time is a feeling like no other. It leaves us with obstinate feelings of confusion and puts us in a state of self-blame. We flagellate ourselves for the mistakes and actions we made that could have driven this person away from us. Igniting a special kind of connection with someone is an overwhelming feeling, and we instantly feel the potent sparks of an unavoidable fate. However, that strong sense of connection meets a woeful demise that seems just as inevitable. The bond we once had with these people just seems to dwindle and wither like a flower that lacks the necessities it needs to flourish and thrive. All that we are left with are the remnants of what we once had, plagued by memories, that strong feeling of yearning in us that never dissipates, no matter how often we tell ourselves to get over it and move on. Despite the ache we feel, this person, who is a stain in our lives, remains brusque and cavalier to the turmoil we face inwardly. Thus, we are left with the haunting memories of this person until their image and presence wane from our memories. “Memories” by Fox Stevenson is a song that holds the same idea, narrating it into a blend of music and sounds that can truly resonate with listeners who crave authenticity. With lachrymose lyrics like “Wish that I can unlearn you” and “I miss you, you don’t care”, these are words that further pelt us with the reality of our emotions, where we wish to erase this person from our memory, but we have to ruminate with the longing we feel for them and the fact that they don’t care. The song announces its presence overtly upon the first few seconds of its introduction. It starts off with a blend of sounds that mix to create something upbeat, adding an electronic sense to the pop that thrives in this song. As Stevenson’s voice sets in, we can’t help but offer our rapt attention, his voice acting as the centerpiece, tying all the sounds together in a way that makes the song memorable. The lyrics serve a deep purpose, adding vehemence to such a resonating song, emphatic lyrics that are certain to leave their indelible mark on its listeners, encouraging pensive thoughts from us. I appreciate how raw these lyrics are and how accurate they are when it comes to losing connection with someone who was once special to us. It’s a painful heartache that lingers even after we thought we were over it. "Memories" can serve as a beacon of light to those who are incapacitated by their former connections, solely left with the recollections that never seem to fade. The dynamic drum and upbeat sound almost take away from the fact that this song carries so much emotional struggle. Yet, when we take the opportunity to sit in the lyrics, we realize just how heavy they truly are. Fox Stevonson is a British singer and songwriter rooted in pop and electrohouse. He makes music for the 812k listeners he has achieved on Spotify, creating a community essentially, and a fan base for those who love his music! Stevenson crafts his heartfelt music and lyrics in hopes to connect with those who care to listen, those who may need a comforting embrace, seeking reassurance. His music not only comes from his heart, but it also comes from the undeniable passion he shares for making music and casting melodies that are both adventurous and inspiring, stretching beyond the lines to achieve the clarity behind his music, capturing the hearts of his supporters and listeners.

Many listeners can expect to hear more emotional drive in this second album of his, exploring themes of anxiety, obsession, self-image, and alienation. As the month of June begins to approach, I can't help but anticipate the release of Fox's second album! His passion for music reaches listeners across the globe, making his talents undeniable!

Avery Lynch has struck yet again with another sad and simplistic song about love and heartbreak. The title track of her most recent EP, “Dead to Me”, was released April 25th, and is nothing short of a lyrical masterpiece intended to hit listeners hard. “‘Dead to Me' is about a very close relationship I had with someone that I don’t know anymore,” she says. “It’s about missing that person but coming to terms with how the version of them that I knew no longer exists.” Lynch’s delicate voice is paired only over a simple piano line, letting listeners feel as if she is sat down alone in front of them pouring her heart out. This kind of vulnerability is what Lynch is known for, and lets her music be all the more enticing. Lynch sings this song directly to her old flame, which allows listeners to sing along and attach these words to whoever has hurt them as well. She starts by acknowledging all of the things that have been left behind, like old friends and memories, even down to mannerisms that she picked up from them. My personal favorite lyric is found in the pre-chorus, and is posed as a question Lynch is asking herself. She sings, “How do you end up all in and it still falls short? / No ill intentions but that doesn't mean that it doesn't hurt”. In such simple words, she explains the feeling that sometimes no matter how much you love someone, it still will not work. Knowing you’re not right for each other certainly doesn't make it any easier to deal with the fallout. Avery Lynch has been involved in the music scene since she was seven years old, when she first started playing the piano. Now at age 25, Lynch’s love for music has taken her from her birthplace in Pennsylvania to her now home in Los Angeles, to a degree from Berklee College of Music, over 300k TikTok followers, and almost 400k monthly Spotify listeners. Fans of Lynch keep coming back for her confessional tone and heartfelt lyrics. With Lynch’s work, there is no fluff or anything left to soften the blow. Her music is simplistic and raw, and that is what sets her apart. Make sure to follow the social medias below to stay tuned for more music from Avery Lynch.

FELIN brings inensity and energy with the release of her song "Bitter." She brings the energy of an early 2000's rock anthem feeling like a long lost sibling of an Avril Lavigne song. FELIN highlights how women in the rock industry really change the game by bringing beautiful vocals and emotional lyrics to an engine powered by fun drum tracks that just make you want to jump.

Photo: Grand National Tour Website April 23th was a day a to remember. I went to see Kendrick Lamar and SZA co-headline the Grand National Tour at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas. I started listening to SZA’s music two years ago and saw her perform live that same year. When this tour was announced, I immediately bought tickets to see her again. I liked a few of Kendrick’s older tracks, but I never called myself a fan. I didn’t officially become a fan until I watched his Super Bowl performance. That’s when I knew the decision to buy tickets for the show was the right one. This was my first hip hop concert and I was intrigued, to say the least. Kendrick Lamar & SZA Performing Doves In The Wind At 8:30 pm on the dot, the show started with the crowd fired up to hear Kendrick’s first round of songs like “wacced out murals”, “squabble up”, and part one of “tv off”. Then, we get to see SZA perform a few slower songs including “30 for 30,” “Broken Clocks”, and “The Weeknd”. Before you can even process your emotions, Kendrick swoops in again with another round of crowd approved songs that included “euphoria”, “Humble.”, “m.A.A.d. city”, and “Alright”. After a small break from yelling, it was time for SZA’s extended return to the stage. She performed fan favorites including “Scorsese Baby Daddy”, “F2F”, “Kitchen”, and “Low”. Just when you think SZA left the stage, she stays on to sing “Doves In the Wind” and “All The Stars” with Kendrick. During “All The Stars”, lights were circulating the stage like batman’s signal and both of them were on platforms lifted high in the air. Fast forward to Kendrick blasting through “peekaboo”, “DNA.”, and “Poetic Justice”. Later, SZA rattled off some of my personal faves such as “Kill Bill”, “Snooze”, “BMF”, and “Kiss Me More”. Next, Kendrick finishes off the second part of “tv off” before he unleashes the song we’ve all been waiting for, “Not Like Us”. It was absolutely chaotic with the collective screaming and dancing of 42,205 people. This moment will go down in world history. After the craziest moment of the night, the final act ensues. Kendrick and SZA perform "luther" and "gloria". For the last time that night, they told us how much they loved us. Then, the icons got in the Buick GNX and descended underneath the stage. The iconic show was over at exactly 11:00 pm. SZA Performing Kill Bill SZA’s forest, insect, and garden themed sets were truly phenomenal. Her backup dancers were dressed up in various insect costumes. Most notably during “Kill Bill”, two preying mantises accompanied her on stage. In addition to that, she sang on top of a giant ant during “Kitchen”. She even floated above the stage during “Crybaby” and “Saturn” while shedding her cocoon and morphing into a butterfly all without missing a note. The way she bounced from R&B to rock to hip hop to alternative pop and back around was very impressive. I also would like to praise her for the use of rock/punk elements in “Scorsese Baby Daddy”, “F2F”, and various other songs. I love rock music and it’s one genre I would like to see black musicians get back in the rock music scene. From the visuals to the singing to the dancing to her unique genre-bending musicality, there is nothing she can't do. Kendrick Lamar Performing Not Like Us Kendrick Lamar is a highly lauded and well respected rapper and I finally understand why. I am extremely impressed how he was able to bounce from song to song and remember the sheer plethora of lyrics. I also love how he uses his music to speak on issues affecting the black community and the political climate. On various songs, he was accompanied by backup dancers and strobe lights. The Buick GNX was on stage during “wacced out murals”, “Man At The Garden”, “gloria”, and numerous other songs. Most of his performances were in a black and white color palette with the exception of very colorful songs like “DNA.” and “Not Like Us”. His raw energy, rap flow, and political commentary are chef’s kiss. Kendrick Lamar & SZA Performing Gloria The Grand National Tour is a must-see, don’t-miss, or you’ll regret it once-in-a-lifetime event. Two and a half hours, five duets, nine acts, 52 songs, and a stadium full of awestruck, jaw-dropped, drooling fans who couldn’t get enough. The energy of the crowd was so infectious the entire show. Even you didn’t know any of the songs, you would have the best time. There were so many incredible moments during the show, but “Not Like Us” takes the cake. I would love to see Kendrick and SZA perform individually and together again. This is an unforgettable moment in pop culture/music history and you don’t want to miss it.

Hey overthinkers! Bella Rios has released her new single “Overthinker,” a feel-good anthem to encourage overthinkers to live in the present. Reading too far in the future? Wanting to leave the party early because you can’t get out of your head? This song is the perfect amp-up anthem for you, then. Rios gets it, saying that “everything you say, I’ll probably overthink it.” Coming from a place of personal experience, Rios channels the pain of “not knowing where [she’s] going” into this song. Hoping to relate to others who have the same problem, Rios aims to give inspiration to those who struggle with overthinking and let them “say what [they] really mean” and not be scared to let go. With a song coming from personal experiences, Rios touches on a couple of common experiences with overthinking. Whether it’d be wanting to leave a party early (with a cute ad-lib of “Mom, can you come pick me up?”) or having a heartbeat as heavy as a drum, the anxiety touched upon throughout the song is powerful and tells that Rios knows the experiences by heart. With an uplifting guitar riff and backing vocals that feel like a crowd uniting, Rios captures the feeling of finally letting go: the present fills up the void where “thoughts falling from the sky” used to be, and there’s a freedom never felt before. With the energy captured throughout the song, Rios’ energy and vocals throughout the song standout with every lyric sung and gets the message of the song across beautifully. Bella Rios hails from Chicago, where her powerhouse vocals and her piano lessons started to shape her into the star that she is today. Now residing in Nashville, Rios is inspired by the artists who she grew up listening to, like Lady Gaga, Adele, and Fleetwood Mac. Throughout the first quarter of 2025, Rios has also released “ Right Now ” alongside “Overthinker,” showing off her pop-rock influences and the new takes she brings to the genre. With her sophomore EP on the way, Rios could see herself among artists like Olivia Rodrigo and Renee Rapp when it comes to tongue-in-cheek lyrics and catchy choruses.
