Family reunions are a mixed bag. Joyful yet melancholy; painful yet bittersweet; but I think most come with a sense of catharsis after the dust has settled, and the fights have been fought. Once the door closes behind you and you can take a deep breath outside. Cassidy Waring’s “Reunion” is a meditation on family reunions and the complexities that come with it. Soft and upbeat, this track is the perfect representation of letting go of that which has worried you or pulled you down. It’s about all the intersecting feelings that eventually culminate in our healing, in our moving past those emotions that have weighed us down for far too long. And even if those moments of clarity are ephemeral, all that matters is that we don’t feel it at that moment. Perhaps we won’t feel it for longer next time. I absolutely cannot exaggerate how much I love this song. Sometimes, you hear something that just speaks directly to you in both sound and message, and that’s a beautiful thing. “Reunion” is going to be for anybody who likes that folksy, indie, cathartic sound, and tracks that center around freeing oneself from grief and pain. Everything about this track is a treat, a complete sonic delight. You’ve got layers of gentle percussion and a deep, underlying bassline; a delicate guitar and those amazing vocals of Cassidy’s. But my favourite part of the soundscape is this small moment right before the chorus begins for the last time. At 2:05, there is a piano– just for a moment, a handful of seconds– and I think those twinkling keys really heighten the emotion that comes from the final chorus. I like to imagine it symbolizes that rare, liberating moment the song is talking about– that moment when all the pain has left your body and you know you’re going to be okay. The piano is that moment, that short, brief time that everything in the world is right. The message of “Reunion” is that freedom from grief and pain is possible. In momentary glimpses, we don’t have to be captured in its grasp. The track’s refrain “I don’t feel it” is the perfect way to close out the song, repeating and repeating until it fades into nothing. I just adore how “Reunion” frames joy and catharsis. Our pain might be a journey we walk for our entire lives, but there will always be pockets of safety on the road. We won’t be in danger forever, and we won’t be in pain constantly. Cassidy Waring is a queer singer-songwriter based in Vancouver, British Columbia.

There is this old saying that distance makes the heart grow fonder. In many cases this is true you can be on the other side of the world and years later get married and still be in love. But being away from the person you love every day for months or even years at a time can take a toll on your relationship. Schedules can be made to talk when there is time but eventually that time is replaced by new friends or new hobbies that the other person can’t be there to experience with you. It becomes this tricky game you play with one another to be able to find time to talk and catch up and when you do there’s nothing to really be said. “SIGNAL FADES” by Rob Eberle shows us these same messages through a beautiful soundtrack.   “SIGNAL FADES” has the most excellent musical elements to it. There is just so much in this song from the synths that give off that intense dreamy mood. Right down to the drums and guitar that give this song the most flawless vibe ever. While it’s a song about something so relatable and honest it does so in a way that makes you want to get up and scream with joy. Especially with lyrics like “Does love remain? / I needed you & and / that’s the truth.” The entire song is just spectacular, his warm and passionate vocals really made you feel every emotion. I seriously could not get enough of this entire track.   The young and talented Rob Eberle is from Long Island, New York where he has created quite the name for himself. The singer/songwriter started creating music back in 2021 and has since then gained over thousands of listeners. His music is so pure and full of raw and relatable lyrics that make any listener relate to him as an artist. “SIGNAL FADES” is just one of many songs he has to offer, and I highly recommend you give him a listen. Since March he has been performing live and will be continuing to perform for the next two months in Los Angeles and New York. Be sure to follow his social medias below where you can find his show dates and see if he will be performing near you!

Boy In Space is back and better than ever with "Burning Down The House." This blend of pop and country tells the story of trying to navigate personal relationships and disagreements. We see the process the artist goes through in trying to convince the person he loves to work through the problem at hand. This is communicated clearly in the chorus when it says, "Baby, there's a fire and it's burning down the house / Would you let me in so we can try to put it out? / And if I end up losing then I'm sleeping on the couch / Baby, there's a fire and it's burning down the house." As the listener we can see the effort being put into the relationship and the effort being put in to work things out. The last verse also communicates the longing the two people have for each other. There's a desire to be a part of each others life. The last verse says, "Parties with monsters, I can't wait to leave / To crash into something that'll break me free / Squeeze into the backseat, your hand on my thigh / This is the highlight of my life." Boy In Space never ceases to amaze me when it comes to new realeases. His voice being similar to that of Alec Benjamin, makes him the perfect unique candidate for pop-country music. When you take his voice, the lyrics, and blend it with acoustic guitar it creates a beautiful song. The tone of the song seems to be a form of positive melancholy, while the couple seems to be working through a disagreement the artist holds a positive attitude that they'll be able to work it out. This also ties in the mood which is upbeat yet slightly sad because of the situation at hand. Like a well oiled machine, when all the parts work together they create a cohesive beautiful song. Boy In Space also known as Robin Lundbäck achieved international success at a young age. After touring with his brothers he then decided to launch a solo career which has been very successful since. After the release of his 2024 EP "Copium" and his upcoming EP "The Butterfly Affect" he keeps shining. Some of his past collaborations include Alan Walker, The Struts, 1Mind, Toby Gadd, Pink Sweat$, Phoebe Ryan, Jordan Shaw, NOTD, Shy Martin, John Newman, Red Triangle, Nick Furlong, Rod Wave, Freddy Alexander and many others. His upcoming EP was recorded in both Tennessee and Sweden which brings a fresh twist to music. The EP will be an exploration of internal, personal growth. Make sure you give "Burning Down The House" a listen today! Written By Destiny Rundquist FOLLOW Boy In Space: Instagram | Spotify  | TikTok  | Facebook  | YouTube

Bon Iver has done it yet again with his new album "Sable, Fable." We've been given the opportunity to understand him better in this season of life, while also navigating our own lives. Bon Iver never fails to connect with his listeners and "Sable, Fable" provides even more proof of that. The album is broken up into two separate parts, the first three songs are part of "Sable" which is a reflection and unpacking of the artists time as a musician. We gain insight into the reality he had to face when the pandemic hit. We understand his process of processing, healing, and taking action for the next chapter of life. The second half of the album "Fable" is the aftermath of the processing. We get a glimpse into the excitement of pursuing a new chapter as a happy and healed individual with clarity about their future. TRACKLIST ... THINGS BEHIND THINGS BEHIND THINGS S P E Y S I D E AWARDS SEASON Short Story Everything Is Peaceful Love Walk Home Day One (feat. Dijon & Flock of Dimes) From I'll Be There If Only I Could Wait (feat. Danielle Haim) There's A Rhythmn Au Revoir Bon Iver is an indie-folk band founded by singer-songwriter Justin Vernon. While it is the name of the band it is also Vernon's alias. Bon Iver became widely known after his debut album "For Emma, Forever Ago" in July of 2007. The album was born from a three month period in which the artist spent isolated in a cabin in Northwestern Wisconsin. One of the most unique aspects of Bon Iver aside from their music is the meaning behind the name. Bon Iver derives from the French phrase 'Bon hiver' which means good winter. Some of the awards he has won include Best New Artist and Favorite Indie Pop and Indie Rock Albums. When asked about "Sable, Fable" and the meaning behind it he elaborated saying that his body had been "Buzzing with anxiety for a dozen years." He continued on, "It was so funny to me that we had blown up so hard. It was almost like I couldn't lose, so I had all that courage. I'm gonna do a record where it starts out like metal and ends as 80's sex rock." When the pandemic hit it prompted him to ask himself hard questions, which led him to come face to face with the struggles that he had been facing, in doing so "Sable, Fable" was sparked. ... This first piece is a short twelve second introduction to the album. When it begins it pulls the listeners attention to the forefront with it's siren like sound. We know that something is about to begin and we're focused on what is going to come next. There's a small but good build up before the next song begins. THINGS BEHIND THINGS BEHIND THINGS Right away we're introduced to the first song which happens to be the first part of "Sable." The song "THINGS BEHIND THINGS BEHIND THINGS" gives us insight on feeling like change is necessary, but also being scared of change. We feel the uncertainty and the nervousness behind progressing in life. The chorus gives us a glimpse into this when it says, "There are things behind things behind things / And there are rings within rings within rings." This showcases to us as the listener, how complex different situations can be. Sometimes change is hard because there's so many moving parts. The music itself stays on the somber, slower side which also helps set the tone for the song, giving us more detail and a better understanding of the lyrics. S P E Y S I D E The second song serves as a mixture of reflection and present day feelings and emotions. We come to understand that Bon Iver can't go back and change the things of the past, but we also come to understand that he's still struggling with where he's at in the present. There's a depth to recognizing that mistakes in the past are unchangeable, and at the same time recognizing that there's still work to be done in order to be at peace where you're at. There's a line halfway through the song that says, "It serves to suffer make a hole in my foot / And hope you look / As I fill my book / What a waste of wood / Nothing's really happened like I thought it would." This can speak volumes to many listeners because it brings a sense of relief knowing that not everyone has it figured out. This song holds somewhat of an upbeat manner, while at the same time having those melancholic undertones that bring us back to the seriousness of the situation. AWARDS SEASON By the time the third song in "Sable" comes around we notice a small shift. There's a small amount of hope that can be seen in the song "AWARDS SEASON." The song remains fairly upbeat which helps set the tone of the song, but it's a slower type of upbeat which allows us to slow down and grasp the change that we see coming. The lyrics provide proof of this shift in attitude as well when it says, "In such a small time frame / You can be remade / You can live again / What was pain now's gain / A new path gets laid / And you know what is great? / Nothing stays the same." These lyrics come as a breath of fresh air, it's like seeing the light at the end of a really dark tunnel. For listeners, this is how we know better things are coming for the artist and for ourselves. Short Story "Short Story" introduces us to the second half of the album "Fable," which brings us the sunnier season of Bon Iver's life. Right away we're met with an enchanting upbeat vibe that allows us to prepare for the lyrics. When the lyrics are introduced to us it further proves that we've turned the corner for better days. Some of my favorite lyrics from this song say, "That January ain't the whole world / And falling's really over shown / And you're never really, really on your own." This line is so beautiful because it encourages us as listeners, January doesn't last forever and the year still goes on. Everything Is Peaceful Love Song two gives off a 70's vibe right away before the lyrics even begin. There's a small moment when all you want to do is bob your head along to the music. This song evaluates the possibility of things going awry, but with a positive outlook. Instead of dwelling only on the negative that could happen the artist takes time to appreciate the peace and the love that is taking place in the current moment. This is vocalized when the song says, "And damn, if I'm not climbing up a tree right now / And every little thing is love / And right with me / And how am I to know that someday you might change the road?" Uncertainty will always arise, there's always a choice to be made on how to handle it when it presents itself. Walk Home Now that we've been eased into the second part of the album, we're diving into deeper feelings and experiences. "Walk Home" gives us a glimpse into what it feels like to love someone deeply. This song talks a lot about freezing time and staying in the moment. There's a different vibe to this song that presents itself like soul music. Compared to the other songs we've been given this far, this one is slower and more sensual, while also still having somewhat of an upbeat tone. At the beginning of the song we're met with the longing to stay present in the moment. The lyrics say, "Can we stay inside this place? / Pull me close up to your face / Honey, I just want the taste / Gimme right away." After fighting through the tunnel and transitioning into the light, we're finding and transitioning into a place of love. Day One (feat. Dijon & Flock of Dimes) When the song beings we're met with a high energy, gospel-like beat that helps bleed into the lyrics, which become a message from the artist to those who may be struggling with similar feelings. It also seems to be a message to his past self. I would label "Day One" as a self-reflection. Recognizing the struggle's of the past and seeing the self-doubt, but encouraging himself and other's that not only does it get better but that this was meant to be from day one. There's encouragement that we are who we're supposed to be, and we've been that person all along. We just had to stay the course in order to get there. Some of the lyrics that reflect this feeling when it says, "But the sun's gonna go ahead and tage right up / And we don't understand what we're standing on / And we sure come in blind / With our timing / So I've culled what I can't tame / I've taken all that I can take." If we endure the hard things, eventually we'll see the good things. From This song provides a unique freshness to the album. If you love rom-com movies you'll love the structure and the sound of "From," The song gives off a rom-com vibe that makes it fun to listen to on repeat and it leaves you hopeful for future love. This song provides the reassurance needed in a relationship, which gives it a wholesome feeling. Bon Iver communicates this well when he says, "From now on / Don't let it trouble your mind, your mind / Just take my love in your time." There's a lovestruck feeling in the air every time the music starts, bringing that fresh feeling. I'll Be There This is the reassurance we need. In "I'll Be There" we find the comfort that every relationship should provide. We feel the love of a partner. What is communicated through this song should be the standard set in every relationship. This time around we get to experience the 70's hippy vibe, the groovy kind of music we all know and love. Some of my favorite lyrics from the song say, "Tell me more, or tell me nothing / Said, 'I'll be there' / I won't move." There's collective support provided to everyone through Bon Iver's lyrics and this line speaks that to us as the listener. If Only I Could Wait (feat. Danielle Haim) While the last song focused on reassurance for our partners or for us, this song focuses on the fear of not being ready when the other person is. By saying "If Only I Could Wait" makes it seem like the timing is off, even though you really don't want it to be. Because it feels this way you'll do whatever you can to be the person you want to be for your partner. While this may seem like a solemn topic, the song conveys it in a rather upbeat manner. There's a playfulness that tones down the serious side of the topic at hand. Toward the middle of the song it says, "I'll take the pain / If only you could wait / I ain't up at your pace yet." These lyrics paint the picture vividly for us as the listener to better understand exactly what the artist is saying. There's A Rhythmn As the album begins to wind down we're faced with the obstacle of trying to find a rhythm for the new season of life we're about to walk through. Which is exactly what "There's A Rhythmn" communicates to us. We come to better understand this concept through the lyrics when they say, "There's a rhythm to reclaim / Get tall and walk away / There's a rhythm / There's a rhythm." Bon Iver reiterates the rhythm that we now have to navigate and figure out as we move forward. This song is the perfect blend of melancholic and upbeat. When they mix together it balances both feelings out which helps even the overall tone of the song. Au Revoir This song closes out the album "Sable, Fable." While it doesn't have lyrics much like the first song that introduced the album, it still packs a powerful punch. It takes all of the tones, moods, emotions, feelings, melodies, etc. from each song and combines it into a beautiful closing piece. We're brought to this place of processing, and breaking down what we've listened to. We grapple with what it looks like to move and turn over a new leaf for ourselves. Overall, I loved this album. Bon Iver brought a whole new level of emotion and depth to his music, which then helped me process things in my own life. By painting such vivid pictures for us as the listener, he set the tone for what grieving, growing, and moving on should look like. This album was encouraging for many different reasons, and I think it'll spark a lot of good change for many of Bon Iver's fans. I personally, want to thank him for being so open and vulnerable for everyone to see. Having an album that can not only spark a love for music, but also spark change and healing is incredible. Give "Sable, Fable" a listen, it's worth it. Written By Destiny Rundquist Instagram | Facebook | Spotify | TikTok

"Burn the Internet," Erica Manzoli's latest release, cries out for a seemingly impossible sense of closure that seems just out of reach because of the internet's relentless accessibility. According to the artis t, this post-break-up hit " ...is me being brutally honest about my own struggles, my sick routines, and the way I get stuck in that spiral. But more than anything, it’s about facing those dark feelings head-on and, perhaps, finding some healing in the process.” In the age of a never-ending, curated feed available 24/7, the singer details what it's like to feel unable to escape from constant comparison, entertainment, and distraction. So, it's no surprise she wants to "Burn the Internet!" "Burn the Internet" is a fresh indie-pop tune: lyrically humorous, lamenting, and relatable. Its instrumental arrangement is built on the collaboration of reverb-laden electric guitars, piano, and Erica’s airy vocals. Beginning softly, Erica's voice stands out against the guitar and piano before building up into the dynamic chorus: "Spending my nights crying into a screen. I'm not alright and maybe I'll never be." Poking fun at the inability to go to sleep while the internet is at her fingertips, Erica simultaneously describes the culture of overconsumption and critiques the constant influx of information that is on the internet. She aligns her musical vibe with the likes of Billie Marten, Lucy Dacus, Alexandra Savior and Mitski. The singer-songwriter, age 22, hails from South East London and later attended the renowned BRIT School from the age of 14 whose notable alumni include music icons such as Adele and Amy Winehouse. After teaching herself piano, Erica moved on to begin writing lyrics, graduated from BRIT, and traveled across Europe collaborating with a number of other songwriters and producers. She started sharing her music to a fast-growing audience, debuting her EP "I’m Okay, I Promise" in 2022. Her musical sound was received with strong support making its way into several Spotify and Apple Music playlists. Also reviewed in The Line of Best Fit, Notion,  and  Wonderland, Erica's music has been compared to the works of leading pop musicians Olivia Rodrigo and Billie Eilish. Erica Manzoli is solidifying room for herself in the pop industry with her latest hit "Burn the Internet."

Breaking up with someone that you don’t want to leave is hard, especially when nothing could fix it. Not even the kings horses or their men. “Together Again” on Sophia Gripari’s debut EP Inevitable, Obviously is a perfect song for this scenario. Not only does it homage to the famous nursery rhyme, Humpty Dumpty , but this hit takes a fun spin on the last few words in the rhyme within. No matter how much you love that someone, sometimes it’s not meant to work out. Sophia spills this in her chorus: “I talked to my family, I spoke to my friends/They knew before me how this shit was gonna end/And all the kings horses and all the kings men/Couldn’t ever put us back together, together again.” This heartfelt song will be by your side through it all, and uplift your sorrows! Starting off with synth bells and a watery guitar loop, Sophia introduces her dreamy vocals. Along with these vocals, the instrumental is satisfyingly crunchy. This could have easily came out of a cassette player. The drums throughout the song also aid in this crunchy aesthetic, giving a nostalgic lo-fi feel. The spacey bells that float overhead in the verses and bridge give it an airy-feel as well. Now, the best part in my opinion: the chorus. It can easily get stuck in your head with the many unique elements involved. The sped-up guitar, the bumping drums, and the pulsing vocals make it a tune that happily floats around in my mind. With the many parts of this song, it comes together to make a beautiful, harmonious bop. Sophia Gripari is an independent artist and songwriter based in Los Angeles. Moving from London to the West Coast, Sophia threw herself into the pop music industry and released some of her most successful music like “Hate You but I Don’t” and “Sad AF”. Her music has earned over 1.5 million streams on Spotify in 2020 along with 2 million views via YouTube, with support from channels like La Belle Musique and Popular Music . She is also featured in Epic Game’s Fortnite and MTV . In 2021, she re-released “Hate You but I Don’t” underneath Sam Feldt’s record label. Not only that, but she showcased this at Tomorrowland, the biggest dance music festival. Sophia released her first single in 2022 named “Brunette With Baggage” after her ex told her that she was “just his type, an emotionally unavailable brunette with baggage”. In recent times, she released her debut EP Inevitable, Obviously on April 11th. If you liked “Together Again” and wish to hear more, check out Sophia Gripari through the links below!

Antoine Chambe’s newest single, All About You, is a dance/electronic song about infatuation. Picture yourself in a club with the music blasting and you make eye contact with someone across the room. You find yourself inexplicably attracted to this person, but you can’t put your finger on why you feel that way. You don’t know them and you’re too nervous to make the first move, but you know you want them. The infatuation consumes you and makes everything you do all about that person. At one time or another, we've all had that one stranger we found so enticing we couldn't get them off our minds. All About You starts with an infectious, pulsating drum solo. The first and second verse’s lyrics such as “I’m caught in the headlight. Baby, it’s the wrong time. The courage I can’t find, just forget it” and “It’s playground behavior. The way that I’m patient. I don’t wanna waste this, so I let it” describe the lack of confidence, but also willingness to overcome the fear of approaching this person. The pre-chorus lyrics “I don’t want to end up losing you. I’m trying, but I can’t stop” further illustrate his desperation. The chorus starts at the same volume with the buildup following. Then the beat drops and you start jamming. It ends with the same pulsating drum solo that hooked you at the beginning. I must commend the polished production and smooth vocals providing the listener with an easy listening experience. If you are an older Gen Z or younger Millennial, you will feel nostalgic listening to this song. It is very reminiscent of the EDM/house/synth pop that dominated the 2010s. It’s the type of song that makes you feel like a teenager again. Who wouldn’t want to go back in time even if only for a few moments? Antoine Chambe is a DJ and producer from France. He releases music under his own label, Riptide Records. The record label was founded in 2015 which happened to coincide with the release of his debut single, Run Away. He has released music consistently throughout the years including his debut album, Riverside, in 2022. He has worked with world renowned producers Cimo Frankel, Romy Dya, and Jimmy Burney who are known for their collaborations with top musicians including The Weeknd, David Guetta, and Cheat Codes. If you enjoyed this song, I suggest listening to his other newer songs, Reverie and Reality. Written By Jazz FOLLOW Antoine Chambe: Instagram | Spotify  | Facebook  | YouTube  | Website | Soundcloud

There are very few absolutes in this world. Nothing stays static. Life itself is dynamic and ever-changing. This is true for our identities and personalities. As we grow and face new things, we undergo constant transformation. “What Happened to Me” by Abby London tells this story from the perspective of someone questioning if they should be dissatisfied with who they have turned out to be. With lyrics such as “What happened to me? / I used to be so carefree and fun / What happened to me? / I used to be so naive and dumb,” she depicts the nuanced experience of watching yourself grow. You may feel as if you have regressed into someone who is more anxious and uptight, but you have experienced tremendous growth to get to this point. Through beautiful writing and lyrics, Abby tells the story of finding happiness and satisfaction through the growth one experiences. The melodic content sounds simple, but is made interesting through the production behind the song. The track starts out with guitar alone, underneath the vocals that demonstrate the story of the song through both expression and tone. While the melody does not alter itself too much, the instrumentals build underneath to help drive the story along. Adding a more pronounced guitar melody and drums, the song progresses itself and eventually tops off with additional vocal harmonies in the final chorus. Initially, the song sounds bare and exposed, building on itself to a more complete sound. This mirrors the story of finding contentment within your current state of existence and feeling whole and happy with where you are. Abby London’s musical journey has its own shares of mountains and valleys. Music was a grounding force in her life through various struggles. After what felt to her like a divine intervention to switch to a radio station about healing the mind, body, and soul, she was able to abandon harmful habits that inhibited her from aspiring to her full potential. Since then, she has had a number of releases and specialized in multimedia live shows that act as an engaging force for her audiences. She truly makes every performance an experience, and it is obvious that there are only more exciting things to come from this talented artist.

Pop singer-songwriter Lánre is back with his first single of 2025, "Here I Go." "Here I Go" is a disco-infused dance track with an all around feel-good vibe. The song is about feeling insecure in a relationship but finding a partner who alleviates all of it. It's a sweet, hopeful tune with an equally celebratory instrumental. "Here I Go" is an infectious track. From the funky bassline to the absolute earworm of a chorus, it's impossible not to smile--even just a little--when listening. Lánre once again proves why he is one to look out for. "Here I Go" is a charmingly vibrant dance-pop track that is catchy, upbeat, and undeniably Lánre. Jumping out the gate with a winding riff that goes right into the central bassline, "Here I Go" is a track bursting with energy. Between the undeniably catchy guitar line by Stefano Marchetti and the soulful performance from Lánre, "Here I Go" glistens with rich, groovy sounds. Lánre captures a sound inspired by disco classics of the 70s and 80s and gives it that modern pop spin that still sounds fresh. Fans of artists like Dua Lipa, Harry Styles, and The Weeknd, would find lots to appreciate within Lánre’s work. The instrumental is undeniably funky. Its sunshine-like sound and sharp production make "Here I Go" the type of song you could hear in a movie montage. Most of all, Lánre takes center stage on the track. His playful humor, earnestness, and emotive vocal delivery breathes the life into "Here I Go" that makes the track, and Lánre himself, so special. Lánre is a singer-songwriter from Plainfield, New Jersey. Using his formal education in music and classical singing, Lánre makes music with a keen ear. Inspired by pop megastars like Justin Timberlake or Usher, he blends genres of pop, R&B, disco, and electronic together, to make a sound that is timeless but undeniably his own. He began releasing music on streaming in 2020, with songs like "Ready 4 Luv" and "Flyin," and his career has only skyrocketed since.

Toby Lightman brings a newfound love for an old soul sound in her lead single, "Higher". Serenading and inspiring her audiences with her signature fervent vocals, Lightman shows off her evocative style with a resonant melody. "Higher" is Lightman's ode to authenticity and not sacrificing, but embracing one's identity amid hardship and doubt. A central theme of this track is growing as we go, as we age through life, an underrated sentiment that Lightman shows love to throughout this single. Lightman conquers the questioning of her self-worth, singing, "Where there is a mountain, I'm gonna climb it, " and repeating the words, "I'm not going down". That said, it is nearly impossible to not exit Spotify feeling resilient, seen, and capable after listening to Lightman's powerfully raw lyrics. "Higher" is a special piece that encourages listeners to pick their heads up and "rise," fearlessly breaking old boundaries and achieving new heights. "Higher" is a deeply passionate track that combines various elements to create a gripping sound. The uplifting, inspiratory instrumentals provide a nice foundation for Lightman's powerful, heart-stirring vocals. The lyrical genius behind this piece shines through Lightman's emotionally charged delivery and resonates deeply in our journey's through self discovery. The chorus is climactic. As Lightman rises above waters and climbs her mountains, she enters in with a resolute tone, capturing the listener's attention instantaneously. The whole-spirited repetition of the lyrics emphasize the importance of persevering, insisting that we must rise when the going gets tougher. Overall, this song is a moving one, stealing our hearts one beat at a time. Toby Lightman is a powerhouse. Recognized by People, Billboard, and Rolling Stone on her past albums, Lightman has revitalized the pop scene with a fresh take on a most beloved subgenre of soul-pop. Her latest album, AFTER ALL, a self-produced gem released back in 2022, not only carried heavy admiration and tribute to her idol, Prince, but also marked her very first production.  Refusing to be put in a box, Lightman taught herself to produce, dedicated to setting precedent for women in the production industry and rewriting the stiff narrative it has laid out for women to follow. "Higher" is a tease of what's to come from an upcoming album to be released later this year, echoing the notions of self-love and honesty. Not only can we hope to see more meaningful heavy-hitters in this album but also another showcase of the many talents Lightman has gracefully shared with the world.

Megan Wheeler brings us yet another powerful and emotion filled song that is so relatable. Getting your heart broken is a pain that no one prepares you for, there are weeks or even months where you find yourself still hoping it’s just a bad dream. So that maybe you can stop putting so much pressure on yourself and what you did wrong and focus on healing and moving on. Breakups are a hard thing to gauge, you can go from thinking you know the other so well that if it ever came down to it, you’d get the closure you needed and deserved. But that is so far from the truth and the person you think you may know becomes a stranger all over again. “Acceptance of You” is a song about heartbreak and feeling all the emotions good and bad that it comes with. “Acceptance of You” opens with a hauntingly catchy melody that I for one could not stop humming. It was smooth and laid back which I thought was different for a song that gives off great vulnerability. It encompassed her vocals and lyrics perfectly paving the way for the resilient mood of the entire track. Her voice was so strong and powerful throughout, especially with lyrics like “I used to think that I only wanted you, / but now I’ve come to the acceptance of you.” When she sang those words it gave me chills every single time. The relaxed but very present instrumentals paired with the beautiful message made this song really inspiring.   The young and talented Megan Wheeler is a singer/songwriter from St. Petersburg, Florida. She has released her latest track “Acceptance of You” just one month apart from her February single, titled “Now That I’m Gone” which is about an ex that tries to regain contact after a breakup. Her talents can be compared to artists like Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan while also adding a more modern touch for younger generations to relate to. At the age of 16 years old she released her first single titled “Replaced” but her passion for music has been present since she was a young girl. Wheeler creates music where she can continue to be her honest and authentic self. “Acceptance of You” is out now on all major streaming platforms so be sure to give her a listen. Don't forget to follow her social medias below and never miss out on another fantastic release.
