“Scottish singer-songwriter Pat Hamilton take on lost love with his single, ‘Colorado.’ A personal track about a relationship that was always fated to end. The song avoids bitterness and insteads for a nostalgic type of irreverence for what used to be while deploying an emotional understanding for the inevitability of it all.”
“There is no shortage of cheating songs though few take the full, submersive emotional trip like brown takes with his latest single, ‘If It Ain’t Me.’ This R&B track is real and gritty and botht he betrayal and the responding needy desperation come through line after line. The heartbreak, the anger, the insecurity are all present and driving the emotive power of this track.”
“Life gets weird once you hit adulthood as all of your friends are operating on different timelines. ‘Bottomless Brunch and Baby Showers’ is a track about this very thing and how everyone is on differing trajectories of life.
Lucy Wentworth delivers the well-written song in a sift tender bt of reflection that makes it easy to think and digest the lyrics as wella s your own path through life.”
“Patrick Sampson has a unique timbre to his voice that really helps sell the emotions on a vulnerable and melancholic song such as ‘Teal.’
The soft build is provocative because of the emotion which makes this a song to feel as much as hear. A track that expands and means more with each listen.”
“The friend zone is an oft ridiculed place to be, but true love is often rooted in friendship. Making the leap from one to the other however is a scary endeavor and TEHYA takes on those feelings with Indie Pop glory on the track, ‘Love Overdose.’
This Canadian artist performs the song with tender vulnerability that truly brings the stellar songwriting forward for the listener. ”
“The friend zone can be a place of deep regret and ALANI has tapped into that with her single, ‘More Than Friends.’ A track about the blurred space between romance and friendship and the unspoken emotions that can be born when you find yourself in those murky water. The song carries a tinge of sad longing and is a reminder that sometimes we just have to take that leap to get where we want to be.”
“There is nothing quite like a first crush. Those feelings and memories tend to linger forever and Ella Quynh has done an artful job of capturing the wonder, fear,a nd doubt involved. ‘Iconic’ is an Alt Pop that doesn’t stray too far from an emotive singer/songwriter vibe which will no doubt lead to comparisons to Taylor Swift.”
“Mathias Julin has the kind of emotive vocal style that makes listeners stop and lean in from the first word. And his latest track, ‘Where We Are’ is written with the same level of emotional engagement so the combination leaves us with a song you can feel as much as hear.
Lyrically the track is about two people who don’t fit the mold, and don’t need to. In a world where everyone’s attempting to cultivate the illusion of perfection, “Where We Are’ is a love song about a couple who sees each other’s imperfections and loves each other because of them, not in spite of them.”

“Few of us truly speak our mind or share our deepest held ‘Secrets’ about ourselves. Kira Rizavi takes an energetic, almost exotic tine to tease us witht he possibilities of our own minds and how that relates to our relationships with others. There is a bit of World Beat vibe adding some mystery and intoxicating melody to the mix.”
“Band of Revelations hails from the UK though this track has a definite Americana vibe. ‘All The Way Home’ is a song about grief but rather than focusing on things as an ending the track offers some hope to go with the sadness and the band called it a song of new beginnings. Lyrically the track could be taken several different way and that is often the case with any well rendered art.”
“Estella Dawn is back with a calmer gentler track reflecting on her life. The New Zealand born artist now calls San Diego home and has gone on quite a journey both musically and in life.
’Hometown’ is an ode to her past but the magic is others will find it relatable because we’ve all travelled the road of life and experienced many of the same emotions in doing so.”
“Americana from a Canadian?
Sure, why not. Mckai’s latest single, ‘Can’t Love the Same,’ certainly fits the ambiguous genre. A little bit Indie Folk, some Alt Country, to go with singer/songwriter vibes. Lyrically, the track is about how we love everyone differently because with each new experience and heartbreak we carry those experiences within us and each reshapes how we behave and react.”
“Erinn Alissa taps into a brooding Folk-Pop ballad with ‘Jacaranda Trees.’
The song is about the space between grief and renewal. The soaring vocals sell the emotions well and the haunting quality of the music and production adds to the emotional depth in a meaningful way.”
“Frida and The Mann unleash a haunting and brooding track that grips the soul and makes you think about those close to you. No betrayal hurts like those closest to you and sometimes those are the ‘Monsters’ we never quite escape. This masterful song is an exquisitely delivered vibe about that very thing.”
“Welsh singer, Jasmine Power is ready to take a huge ‘LEAP,’ to stardom with this uplifting track. The song has some 90s Pop sensibilities but does not feel dated and the song certainly fits nicely in today’s musical landscape. The vocals soar when appropriate and feel more vulnerable and tender when the emotions dictate. A finely written and performed track that will stand the test of time as only true great songs can.”
“The Running Man” is a high-energy track that balances sharp lyricism with a driving, confident sound. J Saint James brings urgency and charisma, capturing the feeling of constant motion, ambition, and survival.”
“Slander is joined by William Beck on this track of tender vulnerability. ‘Back To U’ is a song about putting yourself out there even though doing so leaves you susceptible to heartbreak. The track is a reminder than the onlyw ay to truly live is to leave yourself exposed to the potential for pain. The writing is perfect and the performance emotions the vulnerability in a tangible way that makes you feel every note of this one.”
“Drew Schueler is an award winning songwriter. ONe of those guys that is often labeled as the next big thing. Despite these accolades and a very promising future the phrase ... I thought by now I’d have more figured out, hit him hard.
A sentiment many of us have had in multiple phases of life, but unliket he average person Schueler was able to take that doubt and resulting emotions and create a beautiful and heartfelt track that speak to the humanity of us all.”
“Fans named this single after Alt Pop songwriter, Savanna Leigh played the song and said its called ... well, nothing yet. The track gained attention from those live shows and fans started referring it it as ‘nothing yet’ and the name stuck.
The track is a heartfelt look at a relationship you know will never work int he end and yet you plunge in anyway to pas time until you do find the right fit.”
