And what a hook, what a resolve – we’re in a timeless realm without a doubt, a vocal and production style akin to the bigger years of Robbie Williams, in my view; the rhythm and descending melody of the verses furthering that.

“What I love about living in Argentina is how musical the country is. Almost everyone plays an instrument or sings, and professional musicians often master multiple instruments, compose music, and handle mixing and production.”
Fearless writing and equally brave vocal meandering lets Grief’s Too Heavy reach out with pure humanity and heart. It’s a powerful single, from an artist with a compelling lyrical edge to her music.

An hypnotic earworm with a timeless presentation, just five minutes of music allows you to unlock Sri Pranaji’s Transformative Guru Mantra, and the results come instantly thanks to the passion and precision with which the song has been crafted and performed. It’s an emotional ballad on the surface, a catchy pop-rock single as well, but ultimately a shining example of the true depth and healing power of music.
In short, I’m a Sinner is one of the most moving folk and alternative singles of the summer, effective for its familiarity and perhaps humility, engaging and impactful for its truthful vulnerability and characterful charm.
Progressing towards an explosive arena-rock hook, the beating heart of Submersion is its sense of story and artistic expression – traits that always ring loud with Waking Stone. However, in this case we seem to have reached a performative crescendo, a kind of Pink Floyd-influenced realm of pure musicality and poetic contemplation united.
