“Vitamins” by Cello: Because Be a Good Girl no Longer Fits in a Pill
“Vitamins,” the debut by London artist Cello, begins with a daily litany that many women know by heart: “I’ll do the homework… I’ll be a good girl… I’ll clean the house… I’ll do your therapy… I’ll do the workout…”. With soft submission, these lines describe a person who has been fulfilling a contract for years…

“Nenya” by Matthias Lindner: Two Guitars Against the Fade
Tolkien in his book “The Lord of the Rings” associates Nenya with the element of water – fluid and memory-preserving.

No Direction, But Together – “I Won’t Go Alone” by Echoes of MLO
In the 19th century there was no streaming, I suppose they didn’t even know such a word. However, the thoughts and quotes of the classics are relevant today as well. For example, Victor Hugo wrote the thought “Music gives a soul a universe” and it was exactly this that I recalled when pressing play on…

A Broken Heart with a Squint: Lulu Leloup and Her New Single “I Guess You Loved Me Until You Didn’t”
There is an old joke about jazz: if during a concert you glance back into the hall, you will обязательно see someone with their eyes closed and the look of a person who has just discovered the meaning of life. And you can never guess – whether he is truly moved or has dozed off…

Personal Story and Dark Indie Pop in Michelle Rose’s New Single “Drowning”
Songs based on real, personal stories touch me in some special way. Honestly, I don’t even know why – maybe because behind them you can feel a weight that cannot be imitated. Fictional drama is audible immediately, but when a person sings about what actually happened to them – a certain particular roughness appears. Like…

STARFLAKE With New Single “I Would Fuck Myself” – Not Audacity, But a Form of Self‑Respect
Sometimes in the morning a strange thing happens to me – I look in the mirror and don’t hurry to avert my gaze. The hair is not perfect, the coffee overflows over the edge, but instead of the usual “what a look” suddenly something quiet and a little surprised: “Not bad. Really, not bad at…

Matt DeAngelis Has One Goal: Bring People Positivity – and “In This World” Delivers
While most of us, at the sight of dark clouds, hurry to take shelter under a roof, there are those who do exactly the opposite – get into a car and drive straight into the epicenter of the storm. Storm chasers – researchers, enthusiasts, and activists – document natural phenomena to better understand the climate…

Dissonance as the Language of Emotion: Bernice Marsala’s Single “Music Box” on the Fragility of Memory
Memory works strangely. It doesn’t record events sequentially, like a video camera. It leaves fragments: a smell, a sound, a random detail – and assembles something new from them. Nashville singer Bernice Marsala knows this. Her new single “Music Box” is built on how nostalgia deceives – because it is sometimes beautiful, insistent, and convincing.…

Gravity Recorded in Three Minutes: “Touch The Sky” by Emm Gryner
Just think about what a country feels when it has for decades been a “star assistant,” and now is preparing to step onto the main stage? For Canada, 2026 will become precisely such a moment of triumph. Jeremy Hansen will fly around the Moon as part of the Artemis II crew – and the country,…

Bird’s “The Boy and the Swan”: a Swan Song About Fragility and Healing
Watching swans gliding smoothly across the mirror surface of the water, my imagination paints images of impeccable purity, peace and grace. But behind this visible perfection often hide fragility and pain, isn’t that a perfect metaphor for a song? And who, if not Bird herself (Janie Price) – a singer and composer of Irish-English roots,…
