As hard as it is to face, sometimes pain leads to the purest kind of art and music, and this single is up there with the best of them.

Thirteen Days is a refreshingly thoughtful bit of writing, with a widely accessible folk sound. It’s an easily enjoyable and reflective single, and the video gives it the majestic and soulful visual glow it deserves.
Addisyn Chafé’s Burn In Me is stunning, a beautiful introduction to the artist and a powerfully emotive song in itself. Looking forward to the EP release on March 1st.
Angel Boy leads with intent and purpose on this latest single Broken Lullaby. The brief, minute and a half long track details the artist’s sense of conflict in progressing from someone who would work hard to hide any emotions or feelings, to someone who feels much more comfortable embracing and reflecting on them.
The PoeticRockstar unleashes a brilliantly crisp and cool RnB vocal style on this latest single Energy. The classically smooth beat accompanies each vocal beautifully, flickers of electric guitar help light up the outer edges in an organic manner, and meanwhile that opening voice makes certain to draw you over for its refreshingly raspy yet clear-cut tone and delivery.
Simple yet creative soundscapes are all that backs up the energetic and clear-cut lyricism that pours through as Cedar Rapids fills the room. T-Staxx ceases the moment and offers up a classic attitude and a flow that’s rhythmically satisfying right the way through.
There’s a likelihood for longevity if this kind of writing continues to emerge. The whole thing is humble yet striking, calmly confident, loaded with emotional turmoil but careful in its introduction of this.
Double Rainbow hits hard and heavy from the offset, raising your heart rate and launching you into the heat of the night in an instant. An easily capable, skillful and creative producer well on his way to the top.
It would be a crying shame for the world not to hear this project, eclectic and endlessly skillful – a total joy to escape within and the perfect accompaniment to almost any kind of day.
A delicate jazz-cafe vibe emerges with a subsequently calm and collected rap vocal – one that quietly reminds you to appreciate the little things, and to have your priorities and your gratitude arranged accordingly.
Format offers up a classic rap anthem to bring hard workers and hip hop fans together in a big way. No Entry is a huge track, beginning with a melodic hook – a choir of vocals chanting this rhythm and concept to you in an inviting and immersive way.
Alex E’s Passionfruit is quite possibly the most unusual and unique release to emerge this year. The whole thing is in its own world entirely, seeming to have been crafted from pure and free creativity. For this reason, it captures your attention fairly quickly; and is incredibly easy to recognise.
