Artist: Ailbhe Reddy
Song: Relent
Why? Have you heard heard pure beauty or a song that feels as if it came from the angels themselves? That’s this beautiful track for me, it’s simply so powerful and filled with that special “IT” we search for in music, literature, art and the world that surrounds us. I am completely in love with Ailbhe’s capacity to connect heart and emotions with me, a complete stranger ( a now tamed wolf by this melodies and honest feelings).

Artist: Eliason
Song: Heaven Knows
Why? One of the best and most honest tracks I’ve heard in a while, I applaud Eliason for giving us a powerful hook (I don’t think that you’re good for me, but then again neither is ecstasy. And right now I’m feeling way too nice to sit back and take my own advice) and verses that are easy to feel as our own. Plus in this track he opens up his heart and soul and tells us a story (truly listen and you’ll feel it and see it unfold in front of you).

Artist: Eli Raybon
Song: Unsymmetrical
Why? Indie Pop/Rock that is so fun and playful and honestly a nice breath of fresh air. I love the way this track unfolds and engulfs me completely every time I listen to it, for it is so relaxing and real. “Unsymmetrical” showcases a masterful control of vocals by a young talent who puts out truthful verses that bounce between doubt and assurance and in the end push you to try without fear of loosing.

Artist: Mt. Joy
Song: Sheep
Why? One of the best tracks to be heard to date, not only because of the musical perfection it is but the way it connects with a modern situation that needs to be ended. Inspired by the painful reality of racism and hate, it invites us to hold true freedom and unity. Accepting we made mistakes and the harsh reality that needs fixing does not make us week but in my opinion is what makes us great.

Listen and dive into the “War of our love” and let go of the fear of the unknown that arises in love and be brave thanks to the soundscape of this talented band.
