New Age Classical Musician Julian Loida Releases ‘Giverny’ LP, Influenced by French Culture
His album, Giverny, is a new age, indie classical collection of songs. During songwriting, he had the realisation that memories often come to us before we even remember, and similarly that’s how songwriting/composing feels – that they have been laying dormant until they feel it’s time to appear. With this album, Loida was influenced by French philosophy, arts, and music, from his time visiting, creating, and meeting people there.

Portair Shares Personal New Single “Stand In Tall Ovation”
The sweeping single that tackles Portair’s own struggles with depression begins with sparse instrumentals and his hushed vocals and swells as his soaring falsetto builds with the beat, similar to the ebbs and flows of one’s mental health. He explains, “It’s about my battle with depression. When you feel like all you want to do is crawl into a ball, the simple act of getting out of bed deserves a standing ovation. Even the most menial and small tasks warrant praise, because no one understands the absolute war inside your mind to physically get those things done.”

ENDEAVOUR Usher In a New Era Of Metalcore With The Dynamic And Heavy “Colourblind” Off “For The Time Being”
“Colourblind” is a very good nudge into the direction we want to go in the future. The small and vulnerable first verse is contrasted by a big breakdown with a choir in the background. We’ve learned a lot during the process of making this record, and are happy we are finally able to show it to the world! Some songs have a connection to each other by delving a bit into personal matters, others tell stories that are much broader and less personal. ‘For The Time Being’ captures the contrast between fleeting personal issues and the broader problems we face. They make up a big part of someone’s journey through life but are definitely not always insurmountable, though it does feel like that sometimes.”

ALANA SPRINGSTEEN SHOWS HER TRUE COLORS IN CATHARTIC “chameleon” OUT NOW
Like all of Springsteen’s forthcoming TWENTY SOMETHING, “chameleon” emerged from a period of intense and often-painful self-reflection for the 22-year-old Virginia Beach, VA, native – a process that’s provided “the beginnings of a blueprint to help me live life on my own terms,” as she puts it. Co-written by Springsteen, Sasha Alex Sloan, and King Henry (LANY, Morgan Wallen), the song takes its title from a nickname Springsteen’s mother bestowed upon her, due to her phenomenal ability to adapt to any social situation. But while Springsteen acknowledges that her changeability can sometimes be a superpower, “chameleon” shines a light on the darker side of hiding your true self from the world.
