Frank Joshua is a London-based songwriter who has been steadily releasing singles over the past few years. Days Like These, recorded between Exeter and London, continues that streak with a track built on simplicity and focus. A four-on-the-floor kick gives the song its pulse, keeping it in forward motion. Guitar lines hover quietly in the…
Karen Salicath Jamali didn’t set out to become a composer. The piano entered her life after a head injury in 2012, when she started hearing music in dreams and decided to follow it. She had never played before. By 2015, she was recording what she heard. Now there are eight albums and thousands of pieces….
Amanda Emblem doesn’t write albums so much as she accumulates them. She works through songs like they’re assignments, letting them pile up until something has to be done. That process drives The Wood, a collection written off-grid in a beach town. The album sounds more shaped by time spent off-grid than by any concern for…
Vineetha Menon grew up between Wales and India, in a home where kirtan wasn’t just music—it was the atmosphere. Her grandfather opened the doors to saints and traveling musicians, and her earliest memories include devotional singing and quiet tears she couldn’t explain. She now lives in Oceanside, California, where she runs a yoga studio and…
“Spring 2025” is the first track in Max Season’s project Cycles, a musical journal composed as the seasons close. Released on the summer solstice, the piece is a way of gently sealing off the spring before it slips from memory. It isn’t about reacting in the moment, but about looking back once the dust has…
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,…
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…
Jesse Kinch’s A Soul Divine is raw, emotional, and straight from the gut. Written, arranged, and produced by Kinch himself (aside from the drums), the song mixes classic rock influences with orchestral elements that give it weight. There’s a clear nod to the big rock voices of the ‘60s and ‘90s, but this isn’t just…
Cat Mayel delivers a haunting, slow-burning reflection on independence with Free, a track that feels more like a slow realization than a declaration. From the first notes, a deep and eerie synth in the background sets the mood, creating an almost claustrophobic tension. The instrumentation is minimal but deliberate, each sound placed carefully to enhance…
