Hilang Child - Picture Hanging

In 2020, Hilang Child released the mesmerizing and absolutely stunning “King Quail,” a song that put the British-Indonesian singer, songwriter, and drummer on my personal music map. After a few more singles, Ed Riman, aka Hilang Child, released his brilliant 2021 album Every Mover. It speaks for the artistry of

Enny Owl - Alina

“Alina” is about liberation. The song alternates between a quiet verse and a soaring chorus, making you root for the protagonist’s journey to happiness. But who is Alina? The LA, via the UK singer/songwriter Enny Owl, asked in early 2020 for people’s first names and thoughts and

talker - Twentysomething [Video]

The older you become, the more you tend to romanticize your twenties: old enough to be master of your decisions but young enough to see a wide-open road in front of you. But if you are smack-dab in your third decade of life, things look very different, as Celeste Tauchar,

“Take Me to Your House” radiates good moods and joy. While it is technically a breakup song, the Singapore-based singer/songwriter Linying chose to let the positive outcome of her story light up the music. Asked about the story behind the track, she says: “There was a point in my

Music

Morgan Harper-Jones - Boombox

Becoming a fan of an artist is quite an exciting thing because you never know what the artist does next. Will you still like their sound as they develop? While I always really liked British singer/songwriter Morgan Harper-Jones I lost a bit of track of her, but this all

Lena Rayne Allen - Reptile House

Born and raised in Athens, Georgia, singer/songwriter Lena Rayne Allen currently calls Boston home. Growing up, she couldn’t decide whether she wanted to pursue a career as an orchestral percussionist or research biologist.

Kuoko - Take it Slow

Today is World Mental Health Day, and one way to observe it is to remember not to put too much pressure on yourself. Or, in other words, to “Take it Slow.” The Hamburg, Germany-based singer, songwriter, and producer Kuoko puts this idea into straightforward advice and wraps it into a

Music

Noah Solt - After All

Singer/songwriter Noah Solt grew up in the landlocked Rocky Mountains, and I know firsthand what effect this can have on you. So it doesn’t surprise me to learn that while studying at Berklee College for Music in Boston and the pandemic hit, Noah changed his course. Literally. He

The lyric “Stuck in between loving you and losing me.” sets the mood perfectly for the new song “Postcards” by LA R&B singer/songwriter frex. She muses about a moment of quiet reflection when her decisions are made, but there is still some joy in thinking about the

Music

Siri Neel - I Bet You Know

What are we without our voice? Quick, think about a situation when you could hardly speak, let alone sing. It doesn’t need much. A cold will do, to show you your limitations, a rasping sound instead of your usual powers. But, luckily, this usually passes, and you can wait

Music

néomí - Your Girl [Video]

“Your Girl” is about the complexities of relationships – a topic that is front and center in the work of Amsterdam-based singer/songwriter néomî. But this time, the song comes “not from a place of sadness, but a place of anger.” Anger about the pressure to please someone else and lose

Music

Feral Family - This Side Of Me

I might just have discovered a new favorite band here with British post-punk trio Feral Family and their latest single, “This Side Of Me.” The singer’s (Jamie) vocals are slightly menacing but ultimately very much lonely-wolf-style and, all the same, highly fascinating. Perfection! In one of their bios, I

Music

Eaves Wilder - Freefall

You can get used to a new song by London-based singer/songwriter Eaves Wilder every few weeks. Always uplifting, her songs are engaging and fun to listen to, even when she tackles serious issues. In the case of her guitar-heavy track “Freefall,” the vibe matches the sentiment a hundred percent.

Emma Gatrill - Seed

With its mellow and super pleasant feel and an intriguing variety of instruments, Emma Gatrill‘s sound can be described as ‘folk-pop.’ On her newest single, “Seed,” one can hear almost everything from a harp to an oboe to a recorder and different types of synths and soft drums, of

Music

Jack Kane - Sequins

The type of Brit-pop Jack Kane creates transports me right back to the mid-90s when boybands like Take That and Boyzone and then the solo careers of Gary Barlow, Ronan Keating, etc., were dominating the charts. Back in the days when we were still listening to the radio, with all

Lilac Haze - My Dreamworld (ft. Julianne Regan)

“My Dreamworld” is just that: an invitation to follow Katrina Swift aka Lilac Haze into her hazy, serene dreamscape.

NZCA LINES - Universal Heartbreak

I don’t know about you, but for me, learning how an artist composes music, comes up with ideas, and follows through with them is something that always interests me. I had no idea how multi-instrumentalist and producer NZCA LINES, an artist who landed on glamglare’s radar in the
