Rosie Darling has struck again with another heartfelt rack centered around vulnerable lyrics and real life experiences. “Smoke & Mirrors”, released on March 14th, details the feeling of working so hard to be loved and appreciated, and the one person you want this from purposely tries not to see it. The honesty and acceptance behind Darling’s lyrics show the sad truth that this is a common event, and that the lack of attention only makes her try even harder to win approval. When asked about the song, Darling explained her own experiences with this feeling, and that “‘Smoke & Mirrors’ is the song for me that helped me process this experience in my own way and showed me that seeking someone’s approval is only ever going to keep you feeling small”. The soundscape of this track is simplistic and highlights Darling’s clear tonality and emotional voice, with drum beats accentuating the flowing melodies. Throughout the choruses and verses, Darling references different circus and show elements, like a packed audience watching her downfall and the feeling of being a puppet on a string in a play. In the chorus, she sings, “It's a standin' ovation and you're in your seat”. The rise and fall of the beats throughout this song mimic the sound of Darling swaying back and forth on the tightrope she feels like she is walking on and references in the second verse. This track follows a basic verse-chorus setup, with the chorus being sung again to close out the song. Darling ends this track with the lines, “All that you see / Is the smoke and the mirrors in me”. 29 year old Rosie Darling is a Boston born singer songwriter now based in Los Angeles. With over 1 million monthly listeners on Spotify and a slew of EPs, singles, and one album (released in 2023 and titled Lanterns), Darling has been creating professional music since the release of her first single in 2017.

In her new single "CHOOSE UR FIGHTER," EMELINE's haunting angelic voice may sound familiar if you scroll through TikTok regularly. This song takes you through an electronic push and pulls between finding the best lover in a relationship. The lyrics correlate to the themes of game-like choosing between possible relationships. With nods to past exes and knowing "the rules of the game," the song tells an exciting story of strength and self-resilience. The song would not be complete without EMELINE's commanding and confident vocals, adding to the important values the song holds. In th e end, it is a powerful ballad of fulfillment and reclaiming power through choices. The production of this song is sharp and perfected, making you want to dance around to the beat. The aura and weight of this song are not comparable without EMELINE's touch to the music, adding her artistry and showcasing her talent. The techno-pop hit uses similar sounds used in electronic and dance-style music but has it's personal catchy and distinct sound. This ear-worm-inducing hit is not complete without the final mix at the end of the song. Capturing an enchanting dance essence is executed extremely well in EMELINE's version of this song which I have not found in other hits comparable to her niche genre. Produced and written by EMELINE back in 2022, her song has been taken into the hands of another Gen Z artist, Jojo Siwa. Siwa allegedly acquired the rights to this pop hit, but it was unbeknownst to EMELINE that her song was being used. Jojo has reportedly portrayed the song as hers through her statements of the song being about her ex. Regardless of the context, EMELINE's version of the song has its own soul. Just turning 27 years old in March, EMELINE's ethereal style should not be compared to anyone else in the game. After listening to EMELINE's version, it becomes clear that she has her heart and soul in her music. Written By Adalyn Reichenberger FOLLOW EMELINE: Instagram | Spotify  | TikTok   | YouTube

Los Angeles, California based artist and producer, Luke Angelo has released his long-anticipated debut album, "Dreams I Remember", a collection of songs written in his teenage years that have been patiently waiting to be heard by the world. TRACKLIST Concord People That You Knew 5 More Hours Out Of My League The Pool insideoutsideways I Hope It Rains In LA In Your Way Luke Angelo is a music professional and chameleon, taking on the titles of music producer, composer, touring musician, mastering engineer, music teacher, and vocal arranger. He began his musical journey at the tender age of three when he started playing piano, going on to produce his own original music at only age ten. When he was a freshman in high school, his production skills earned him an opportunity to work with rapper Phife Dawg , known from the hip-hop group A Tribe Called Quest . He's also a jazz expert, having won multiple awards for his jazz related compositions and performance contributions. After high school, he attended the University of Southern California's Thornton School of Music where he earned a Bachelor's Degree in Music Production. Now, after many years of holding on to his original music, he's finally ready to release it into the world and debut as a recording artist. His first ever album, which we are covering today, "Dreams I Remember", is an eight-track project of works originally written in his teenage years. Acting as a time capsule of sorts, these songs are a reminder of where it all began for Luke in his journey as a growing artist and how far he has come; not only that, but it's also a reminder that just because a song was written a long time ago, doesn't mean you can't still release it! Music is timeless, and these songs deserve to be heard. Concord We kick off the album with "Concord", a song about hometown blues. Just because everyone else is okay with being stuck in the same place their whole lives, repeating history with the same jobs and habits as their parents, doesn't mean that you have to. Named after the city of Concord, California, this song tells a very detailed story that helps you imagine what it's like to grow up there. It's very relatable to anyone with big dreams and ambitions, who feels trapped in a small town full of people who just don't seem to understand what else is out there in the world. "Concord" starts off with an ear-catching acoustic guitar riff, slowly building with drums until it becomes a full blown indie pop song with power pop and classic rock influence, a bit reminiscent of The Beach Boys . There's a bittersweetness to the mood and tone, as you want to get up and dance around to the addicting music but there's a desperation of wanting to get out and away from this place. People That You Knew Next, we have "People That You Knew", which was Luke's first ever single release in anticipation for this album! This track takes more of an experimental and electronic approach, while still keeping indie pop roots. With deep, poetic lyricism, the refrain that gets repeated throughout really solidifies the emotional meaning of the song: "Life's a movie made for you, by the people that you knew". The soundscape is full of synths, layers of vocals and heavy reverb, creating this ethereal experience that you can't help but just close your eyes and appreciate. It's a true work of art! If I had to compare it to something, I'd say if you're a fan of Foster The People , you'd definitely love this one. According to Luke, there's even a hidden song within this song that he calls "You Will Never Be Forever". Take a listen and see if you can point it out! 5 More Hours "5 More Hours" is about those horrible nights when you're trying to get over somebody. Even though separating might've seemed like the best idea at the time, it's hard to get used to being without someone that has been around you for so long. Their smell doesn't just go away from your home; you find their hair still stuck to your bed sheets, and trying to sleep by yourself for the first time in a long time is an absolute nightmare. What used to be breakfast time together is now mornings lying awake all alone. You can't help but wonder if they're struggling as much as you are, or if they've already moved on. "5 More Hours" has a super catchy and nostalgic pop groove. It starts off with a smooth guitar solo, which adds a little soft rock essence. Out Of My League "Out Of My League" is a pure feel-good song about what it's like to be so head over heels in love with someone to the point that you're unsure if you're even good enough to be in their presence. When you're around them, the rest of the world disappears. You're just so mesmerized by them that sometimes you get lost in their eyes and don't even hear a word they're saying. The sound and style of this song is nostalgic pop/rock and feels straight out of an 80's teen rom-com movie, in the best way possible. It has a super catchy hook, showing off Luke's vocal abilities, flipping into a stunning falsetto. It's a highly addicting track, so be prepared for it to be stuck in your head! The Pool "The Pool" is a high-emotion, diverse ballad that switches between a folk-inspired pop groove and a super heavy rock timbre. The song itself is about those kind of nights where all you need is just some peace and quiet. You want to sit in the dark, dip your feet in the pool, take in the cool Summer air, and maybe have someone to talk to, just to let it all out with no judgement or second thoughts. Just one night where nothing has to matter, and you can let everything go. In "The Pool", the verses have a catchy stomping beat and a down-strummed guitar, while the chorus has a heavy electric guitar and crashing drums. Right before the bridge, there's a guitar solo that really hits in the feels. The bridge changes keys, and just really takes you to a whole other place. You have to hear it to know what I mean. I love the way this song weaves, changing styles and dynamics throughout, not sticking to one specific thing. It's very unique and admirable. insideoutsideways "insideoutsideways" is about falling hard for someone who doesn't feel the same, but they're sticking around anyway. You're so conflicted with your thoughts and feelings going all over the place. You don't understand why they bother staying if they don't love you, and you don't understand why you bother letting them mess with your head. "insideoutsideways" is a dreamy, indie rock song with 60's vibes. There's layers of guitar and reverb with a groove that takes you back. The tone reminds you of Summertime, and is contradicting to the difficult topic of the lyrics. I Hope It Rains In LA "I Hope It Rains In LA" is a stunning, acoustic lo-fi love ballad. With vinyl crackles in the background, a gorgeous picking pattern on acoustic guitar plays, with bright and dissonant notes ringing in the air. Luke sings a story, with hope of the rare but not impossible - rain in Southern California. In this song, there's a long distance lover who unfortunately has to leave on a plane, but of course neither of them want her to leave. All they can hope for is a miracle to get that flight delayed. This song is so simply done, yet it's rawness is what makes it one of the most emotional. In Your Way Lastly, we have "In Your Way", an inspiring final track about not letting anything get you down. This song is influenced by blues, soul, and jazz utilizing a smooth groove, classic tones and instruments, and harmonic vocal arrangements to really amp up the emotion. It's a nice blend reminiscent of John Mayer and Jason Mraz , really emphasizing blues notes, soulful vocals, and a very full soundscape of real instrumentation. "In Your Way" is a reminder that no matter how hard life may seem, you can't let things or people get, well, "in your way". You are in full control of yourself and the outcome that you get. Sometimes that seems easier said than done, but you just have to play the game of life, have fun with it, and you will find a way to win. Luke Angelo has many titles to his name, but one he doesn't have listed is a songwriter or lyricist - and I think he should. The storytelling on "Dreams I Remember" is impeccable! Now, when you mix that with the addicting melodies and catchy instrumental grooves, you get a flawless album. These songs are so highly impressive; each one sounds like their own universe and style, but yet also sound like they still belong on an album together. When you think about how these songs were written quite some time ago, it makes you wonder what else Luke Angelo has under his belt for the future. This is still only the beginning for Luke Angelo, so make sure to follow him on his socials below to see what's to come!

Logan Garrett and Madeline Edwards encourage us to find a deeper sense of fight through the song "Take Me Down." We come to understand that the song encourages healthy stubbornness. Instead of giving up on something we're passionate about, we should continue to work towards success, even if that means we have to get a little dirty in the process. The chorus does a phenomenal job explaining this when it says, "And I, I'll go out blazing with knuckles burning white / I, I don't mind if it's a fight / You won't take me down tonight / You won't take me down tonight." We better understand the character of the artist's and what they're calling us to do. My favorite line comes toward the end, it says, "Cut loose, just some wild kid / Like a phoenix taking flight / Son of a gun watch me kick, see me run / No I don't care if it takes all night / You won't take me down tonight." The image of the phoenix that rises from the ashes instills confidence in us, allowing us to do what needs to be done. "Take Me Down" can only be classified as a high energy song that remains consistently empowering as it progresses. The song focuses on many hard hitting theme's including overcoming diversity, strength, and determination. Listener's are able to play the song and feel easily encouraged and rejuvenated. What makes the song even more unique, is it's fusion of EDM and country. Both of these elements work together to give the song a different level of depth and rawness. Blending the two genres of music opens the door for the lyrics, enhancing the themes of strength and determination. When it all comes together as one, it melds seamlessly closing in on the window of perfection. Logan Garrett is a DJ and producer from Nashville, Tennessee. He currently plays shows regionally in the southeast and works to create records that blend electronic music and hip hop. In spring of 2023 Logan Garrett supported Kx5 on Billboard's "The Stage At SXSW" where he premiered his single "Aliens Exist" featuring MobSquad Nard & Killa Kyleon. Madeline Edwards is a chart-topping singer-songwriter. She blends country, jazz, soul, and rock influences into a unique sound of her own.

This year she's releasing her new album and hitting the road once again with Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, Sheryl Crow, Waxahatchee, Breland and more. When asked about the song Logan Garrett said, "With this record, we wanted to focus on emotions that come with refusing to give up on something that's meant for you, being persistent/fighting for what one wants in life. Madeline is an exceptional performer, the fearless, raw emotion that she contributes to this record makes the balance between energies feel incredible," and Madeline said, "It's like if Rihanna and Shaboozey and Etta James and Avicii and Natasha Bedingfield had a big ol baby. If this isn't on the top of every hot girl's peloton playlist, I will rage." In other words give the song a listen!

It’s very easy to get lost in a relationship and forget yourself in the process. Loving yourself is just as important as loving others; Kimberly June’s latest single “LOVE MYSELF (Wish it was U)” advocates that if someone can’t love you more than you love yourself, then they’re just not worth it. This track will hit especially hard for those of you who have been in a relationship and felt like your partner wasn’t pulling their weight– you’d give, and they’d only take. Wrapped in indie pop and rock, KJ shows us that longing for a person (and the relationship that they formed with you) can simultaneously exist with you loving yourself enough to not put up with somebody that puts in half the effort into a partnership. And even if you don't relate, you can still take something away from the song’s central message to embrace and choose self-love. “LOVE MYSELF (Wish it was U)” is one of those songs you can leave on loop and never get sick of. The beat is just that addictive; with its slow starts and gradual inclines, ultimately culminating in these delightfully powerful explosions of energy in the chorus, this track is brimming with measured passion. Like any good pop song, “LOVE MYSELF (Wish it was U)” has just the right amount of guitar and percussion, both balanced between KJ’s flowing vocals; every instrument has their place in the soundscape, and all come together to form one that uplifts the spirit. The lyrics do a similar thing. There’s a lot of lines that I really loved in this track, and it’s hard to choose just a few that I feel exemplify the anthemic self-love that KJ is championing. If I had to select one, though, it would be from the chorus: “I love the way I love myself”. Although the narrator afterwards laments on the fact that their (ex)partner does or did not love them the same way, I think it’s just as important to highlight the fact that self-love should come above a relationship. KJ has knocked it out of the park with “LOVE MYSELF (Wish it was U)”, creating a track that keeps both the grief of a lost relationship and self-assurance in the same hand while also having a supremely catchy soundscape. Indie-folk singer-songwriter, performer, and producer Kimberly June (“KJ”) is making whimsical and witty music that puts raw life experiences at the forefront of her tracks. With her musical roots in Nashville and Hawaii, she has deep ties to both locations; it was in Nashville that she signed her first publishing deal at age twenty-two that thrust her into the music industry. She also spent eleven years in Hawaii opening for various artists such as G. Love, Donovan Frankenreiter, Nahko, Kimie, and Mike Love, as well as performing at Wanderlust Festival. Her debut single “Love and Be Loved” released in 2018, and her debut album “Just KJ” dropped in 2020. “LOVE MYSELF (Wish it was U)” is her first release of 2025. You should definitely drop KJ a follow and listen to the rest of her impressive discography if you liked the single!

The past is a hard place to visit when the memories we return to are the times we wish to live in again. The highlights that flashed by and the people we loved are now left behind us as we travel forward at lightening speed towards the unknown. The present is different from what we had imagined, and the relationships we thought would last a lifetime are now left in the past. We can't help but want to throw it back to easier days and recapture the moments we love to remember when the present is a difficult time to live in. Jadelyn recaptures the moments from our past that we can't forget. The moment we live in now may soon be the memory we long for in the future, and we can't help but wish to hold onto those special moments for as long as possible.

The person she is thinking about is from her past, but she remembers the highlights from those days when the relationship was still alive. The chorus explodes forward as the memories are all she can think about. She captures the moments as she knows she's not ready to let go of what will soon only be history. She thinks about people from the past and what their life is like now. The time has gone by, everything has changed, and it's hard to believe how fast it all happened. We are thrown back to the enchanting chorus as she captures the moments she hopes will last. She continues on how although the past carries great moments, there are still memories that we may be happy to have grown from and leave behind. Jadelyn's "Throw It Back" is the song that will throw us back to the memories we will cherish for a lifetime as we move forward towards the unknown future. Jadelyn is a singer and songwriter who had a passion for music since early in life. Growing up in a small town, she began to showcase her love and talent for music by performing at coffee shops and talent shows. In 2018, she moved to LA where she stepped out of her comfort zone and took her music career to another level by collaborating with other artists, exploring different genres, and discovering her sound. She has received global recognition on Spotify while earning a place in the New Music Fridays playlist and on international radio. With over 5 million streams on Spotify, Top 200 placement on the Dance Charts, and global support, Jadelyn has not only shown her incredible journey in the music industry, but the power that comes from her songs that have captured the hearts of many around the world!

The one and only Pierce Merrill has a brand new captivating single out now entitled “On My Mind,” let’s get into what it’s about. The song captures the feeling of infatuation very well. Its lyrics portray someone who is bordering on obsession (in a relatable way) with their new partner. “On My Mind” feels passionate in its approach, with lyrics such as “You got me stumbling darling/ My heart is set on overdrive.” This kind of relationship often feels like it's progressing in a way that’s beyond our control, and I think the previous lyrics perfectly portray that feeling. Another section of the lyrics which contribute to the overall theme of infatuation is the following, “I wrote this song about you/ When I couldn’t sleep/ didn’t know what else to do.” These words feel more confessional and intense.
