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…
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…
Rome’s Solo Artist Turns a Memory into Music That Speaks Without Words There’s a kind of restraint in AfterGlow Bridge that’s rare. The single from Indomitus Pax, a solo composer and producer based in Rome, doesn’t build with bombast or collapse into cliche. Instead, it unfolds gently, like someone turning over a memory in their…
There’s something instantly disarming about Julandjim’s The Duchess Melody. Built around a delicate, looping motif, the track feels like it drifts out of a film you haven’t seen but somehow remember. Drawing on influences like David Lynch, Air, François de Roubaix, and Philip Glass, this isn’t music that demands attention, it lingers. Julandjim’s approach is…
Marcela Rivera’s debut single Little Creature doesn’t feel like a career launch, it feels like a personal letter accidentally made public. Written during her pregnancy and built at home with her husband Tony Peñalva. It’s simple, light on its feet, and emotionally raw without being sentimental. Rivera plays lead guitar and percussion, while Tony holds…
