Untold Festival 10th Anniversary: Packing for Cluj This August

Untold Festival 10th Anniversary: Packing for Cluj This August Every summer, Cluj-Napoca starts to vibrate. The city hums like it’s hiding something too wild to say out loud. And this year, it’s louder than usual - Untold Festival turns ten. Untold Festival 10th Anniversary - a decade is no joke in this business. Ten years of beats, bass, fire, glitter, and strangers becoming instant best friends in the dark. I’ve been watching the build-up like a ritual - playlist loaded, […]

Ooberfuse Zeeba Da Boo: A Quirky Groove for Dreamers

A trumpet, a dancefloor, and a question There are songs that arrive like a warm breeze. Zeeba Da Boo (Why oh Why) just waltzed right in today, cocktail in hand, vintage shades on, and started talking about dreams. I’ve written about Ooberfuse before - months ago, when I first tripped over their sound. It felt like opening an old drawer in a new room: familiar and odd at once. Now they’re back with something that smells of sunshine, dance sweat, […]

Flow Like a River: A Folk-Rock Meditation on Inner Balance

Cracks in the Mirror, Music in the Silence I don’t know about you, but I’ve had days where the news sounds like noise, the mirror throws shade, and your own thoughts are the loudest hecklers in the room. That’s where Flow Like a River lands. By Forrest Hill. Right in the soft meat of that disorientation. The kind that creeps in when you're trying to keep it together, trying not to spiral, trying to convince yourself that, yeah, you’re probably […]

Farbod Biglari Waltz for Baran – A Fully Cinematic Rain Escape

A Forgotten Melody Finds Its Moment There’s something wildly poetic about a man chasing the ghost of a tune he wrote as a teenager - like digging up a time capsule with a guitar string still humming inside. Composer Farbod Biglari let this one simmer for years. A melody born in his early teens waited patiently, growing roots in silence until the time felt right. Then, in the quiet of his Vancouver home studio, he brought it back to life […]

Shara Strand Love Forever – A Debut Album That Dares to Feel

SHARA STRAND’S LOVE FOREVER LANDS WITH FIRE, FLAWS, AND FULL HEART Not long ago, I wrote about Happy Ending - a single that felt like the start of something bigger. Turns out, I was right. Love Forever, Shara Strand’s debut album, is here, and it plays like a love letter to every version of yourself you’ve had to drag through the fire. I sat down to listen thinking I’d just dip in. Instead, I got pulled under, track by track, […]

Mike Melan Those Were The Days – Indie Rock From London

Radio Static, Gasoline, and That One Summer That Still Follows You There are songs that hang around like a smell. Cheap cologne, burnt tires, and someone’s laugh echoing down a street you haven’t walked in 20 years. Those Were The Days is that kind of song. Listening to Mike Melan feels like sitting across from someone who remembers everything clearly - and isn’t afraid to say it out loud. Born in the heat and dust of South Joburg, now planted […]

New York I’m Coming to You – Jeff Vidov’s Return to Big Dreams

Jeff Vidov New York I'm Coming to You – A Song That Walks Straight Into Its Own Story Chasing the City That Never Waits Some songs carry luggage. This one grabs the damn passport and boards the plane. Jeff Vidov's New York I'm Coming to You hits the ground already in motion. And it’s not about chasing fame or some diluted memory. It’s about facing the version of yourself you left behind in a city that runs faster than most […]

Lipford Miracle: A Soulful Plea for Redemption and Inner Peace

Lipford Miracle: A Soulful Plea for Redemption and Inner Peace As someone writing love songs myself, I know the terrain. The hesitations, the late-night questions, the quiet hope that someone will understand what you're really trying to say. So when I came upon Lipford’s Miracle, it feels like discovery, or more like recognition. The song opens up slowly, like a conversation you've been avoiding. There’s a calm weight to it. It settles in, just staying present while you listen. Lipford, […]

Love Conquers All In The KaiserKillers Real World

Welcome to the Real World, Baby You ever get slapped-awake by a rock song with teeth? Something bright, jangly, and charming - until it stops smiling and bites? That’s Love Conquers All (25 Mix) by KaiserKillers. A title that swings like a cheesy slogan on a Tesco mug, only to spit it out with punk contempt. And honestly, I needed that. Because KaiserKillers's Love Conquers All shows up in your headphones with a smirk, clutching a shoebox full of dried […]
