DBsock doesn’t make passive music. Her debut EP, The Journey, plays like a surreal myth carved into five distinct movements. Each track is a chapter in a transformation story—an outsider goddess navigating the struggle between divinity and humanity, falling to rise, and using sound as both a map and a mirror. It’s full of tension,…
OHNomad’s new piece, “Universal Connection – Junko,” does something most compositions don’t even try to: it tells a personal story without saying a single word. The trio for flute, cello, and piano feels more like a letter to someone than a performance for an audience. That someone, in this case, is Junko—a Japanese elder and…
With “A Meravilha,” Italian composer and guitarist Luca “Ninni” Caligiuri returns to his roots—leaning into his deep connection with instrumental storytelling while exploring the emotional weight of simplicity. The track is built around Ninni’s classical guitar, and that’s where its strength lies. There’s no need for anything else to speak. Every note feels intentional, yet…
Rebecca Anderson’s new single “Lay It All Down” continues her streak of introspective, emotionally grounded songwriting. While her previous release “In the Beginning” focused on spiritual identity, this one zooms in on the internal messiness of trying to control too much, and the quiet power that can come from letting go. What makes “Lay It…
“Phases” is the kind of debut that doesn’t aim for loud fireworks, it just lands, solid and raw. The track is led by Lenny Jennings’ guitar, which feels more like a lead character than a supporting instrument. There’s tension in the way he plays, not in the technicality, but in the way each note seems…
With “My Dreams,” mezzo-soprano ARMINÉ steps into a cinematic sound that feels both intensely personal and theatrically grand. The song begins with a sparse piano motif, delicate and icy, soon enveloped by a swelling low end that adds weight without distraction. Her voice, expressive and stately, enters like a presence through fog. It’s not a…
The Turnaround’s new self‑titled EP is a warm, globe‑trotting collection of six songs built around Daniel de Boer’s intimate bass and vocals. From Texel to Berlin, each track spotlights musicians from across the world, and their different roots seep into the arrangements without ever feeling forced. Opening cut “Keep You Close” pairs a gentle bassline…
Brooklyn’s Ivy League channel raw emotion into tight, hook‑driven rock on American Love. The album pulses with gritty guitar riffs and frank lyrics, capturing the tension of a love that’s frayed beyond repair. Rather than dwell on heartbreak’s minutiae, the band zeroes in on moments of rupture—snarling choruses that crackle with anger, quieter verses tinged…
Francesca Pichierri – “Anime Vaghe”Pichierri pairs hushed piano with a solo that feels almost confessional, then lifts the roof with a choir‑driven chorus that pushes you out of your seat. It’s equal parts vulnerability and rallying cry, perfect for that film moment when doubt flips to determination. Gus Defelice – “Starlight”A glowing synth swell meets a searing…
Del Alhelí is not just Inez Leon’s most ambitious EP to date—it’s her most personal. Written during a year she spent living in Mexico, the record documents a period of deep emotional and cultural reconnection. The Mexican-Korean artist, born and raised in Los Angeles, turns that time into five understated but resonant songs that make…
