La Luna by Brett Ashby – Notes Based on Paints and Gravity

Brett Ashby Learned to Speak Through Colour and Motion La Luna, the new single from Brett Ashby, works better when you give it a minute. The artist belongs to the second camp, and this release settles there naturally. Released in 2023, it still feels fresh - a laid-back R&B / pop track. Ashby’s background falls naturally into visual art, and you can hear that straight away, because La Luna feels painted rather than produced. That space in the sound mattered […]

Megan Scott – Fake It and the Ghosts of Unfinished Feelings

Megan Scott And The Voice in the Grey Areas There’s something quietly striking about my favourite next artist. Megan Scott comes from St. Ives, England - a place better known for light and calm - and her writing leans into the messy middle of things. Listening to Fake It, I kept thinking about how young artists today speak with a kind of emotional clarity that took some of us years to reach. She writes plainly, without dressing things up, and […]

Otim Takes “Dreaming of You” Somewhere Deeply Personal

I’ll admit I went back to the documentary on purpose. It had been on my list for a while, but Otim’s Dreaming of You hit fast-forward on the decision - and here we are. That final scene kept popping back into my head. It pushed this track into motion. Before anything else, it’s worth being clear about the reference point. This is about Selena Quintanilla, not Selena Gomez. The inspiration comes from the Tejano singer’s story and the way her […]

Fiona Amaka Desert Flower

Indie Pop

Fiona Amaka blooms with warmth and grit on Desert Flower

When I hear songs coming out of London, I usually listen for how they hold up live. With Desert Flower by Fiona Amaka, that lived-in confidence comes through straight away. I hear an ease in this track that comes from people enjoying the process and trusting their instincts. The upbeat pace feels light and easy. Where the song comes from Fiona Amaka wrote Desert Flower with her daughter in mind, and that intention comes through without becoming heavy-handed. In the […]

Rainbow Soul by Chris Oledude: Love, Groove, and Memory

Brand new year, the grace of 2026, and a strong start - if you think you’re ready for this. Yeah: funk, gospel, upbeat, call it whatever you want. What matters is the way it moves people, the way it brings voices together, the way it carries history without dragging it behind. That sense of movement sits at the heart of Rainbow Soul, the latest release from Chris Oledude. The song has roots going back to 1984, written during the surge […]

Edie Yvonne Nightmare: a late-night diary from a restless year

Already in her next chapter, Edie Yvonne wrote the doubt straight into Nightmare. Somewhere between headlines, broken promises, and personal detours, 2025 felt uneasy. Not dramatic enough to scream, but somehow heavy enough to linger. When I saw the title Nightmare, it clicked straight away. This year needed a song that looks you in the eye and admits the doubt without smoothing it over. That song comes from Edie Yvonne, already in her next chapter. When laughter sounds rehearsed Nightmare […]

Tequila at Dawn by JCCutter – Country-Rock Morning Prayer

Sometimes nights get stubborn and drag their weight into the morning. That’s where JCCutter places us with Tequila at Dawn - a country-rock singalong shaped by uncertainty and change, like laughter that shows up after rough nights and thoughts. I listened to it, and it felt right there. Shoulders close, voices loose, no rush to clean things up at all. The chorus and its shape The song moves at a mid-tempo pace, relaxed enough to let the chorus do its […]

Lana Crow Finds Strength in the Hard Part on Laugh With You

What happens when you hear a song built around choice, self-direction, and the calm courage of owning your space in the world? Lana Crow answers that question with Laugh With You, a track shaped by personal direction and a steady sense of self. I listened to it at dawn on Christmas Day, when everything sounds a little different and good music always finds its place. What I liked most, though, was the tone. Grounded, clear, and confident. There’s a message […]

Adriana Spuria Returns With a Song to Brighten Your Morning

Opening the window in the morning is something I’ve always loved. That first sign of light, the air, the world not fully awake yet. Morning by Adriana Spuria belongs exactly there. Early morning, cup in hand, I let it run - and it fit the moment, like the day had already started in that tone. The Shape of “Morning” The song opens its eyes slowly. Acoustic textures are breathing beside synth and strings, but not competing, just moving together. The […]
