Jenny Kern – Where Did The Time Go
(Spotify)

“The sound in -Where Did The Time Go- is like a transparent river or a small waterfall. The likes of Indie and Dream Pop genres with charming vocals of -Jenny Kern- contribute to this. The mood is exciting and at the same time calm and serene. A real gift for hungry listener souls.”

“Звучание в -Where Did The Time Go- похоже на прозрачную реку или небольшой водопад. Этому способствуют жанры Indie и Dream Pop и очаровательный вокал -Jenny Kern-. Настроение волнующее и в то же время спокойное и безмятежное. Настоящий подарок для изголодавшихся душ.”

Few words from the artist about this song:

“Where Did The Time Go” is a relentlessly honest song about a constant struggle with anxiety. "I started writing this song in the midst of the pandemic while having an existential crisis of not knowing what my purpose was or why I was existing." The production is layered with lush synths and vivacious rhythms all while addressing the decidedly heavy search for life’s meaning. It strikes the listener with a kind of honest confusion. In a gentle tone, Jenny throws questions into the universe (“Where did the good go?/Where did it go?”) and seems to give up before they’re answered (“Cause I don’t know, I don’t know where to go anymore,” and later, “Maybe there’s nothing left/Maybe there’s nothing left”). Ultimately this song doesn’t put on a front or filter the darker thoughts and shows that with each release Jenny’s sound feels bigger and brighter than the last.

Cypress – Running Like the Wind
(Spotify)

“Bright acoustic melody, innovative, expressive mood and incredibly juicy vocals from Ben Higginbotham - all this indicates an extremely high-quality work and automatically raise it among the best of its genre.”

“Яркая акустическая мелодия, новаторские, выразительные ударные и невероятный сочный вокал Ben Higginbotham – всё это указывает на чрезвычайно качественную работу и автоматически делают её, пожалуй, лучшей в своём жанре.”

-Nagamag.com

Artist shared few words behind his inspiration for this song:

"I wrote this song about being there for someone no matter where you are. Was definitely inspired initially by "You've got a Friend" by James Taylor; however, I was listening to a lot of Bruce Springsteen when we produced it, so by the end it had turned into a rock n roll track."

Cypress is the indie folk, singer-songwriter project of Ben Higginbotham. Born in Dallas but based in LA, Ben was inspired by his childhood spent glued to the piano and listening to the crooning voices of Texas singer-songwriter legends like Ruthie Foster and Lyle Lovett to pursue his passion for music early on.

Shortly after graduating from Berklee College of Music in 2017, Ben created Cypress — a soulful, emotional solo project reflective of his personal and professional growth. Evoking artists like Ray LaMontagne, Ben Howard, and Hozier, Cypress’ indie folk/folk rock sound is rich and textured yet melodic and straightforward — often weaving lyric-driven stories of relationships, family and coming-of-age with a reflective and nostalgic tone. With crisp, powerful lyrics and relatable, universal themes underlying each song, Cypress’ music shines in its smooth approachability and ease of listening.

Released in November 2018, Cypress’ first EP A Fine Line was recorded and produced in Austin, TX by longtime collaborator Taylor Tatsch. Cypress’ most recent single “Take Me Back” was produced by Floyd Fuji and released in August 2020.

Lennie Rayen – Like You Do
(Spotify)

“In the track -Like You Do-, the composer's and performer's talent is mostly pronounced. Soft bits, acoustic instruments and fascinating vocals, which seems to hug you by the shoulders. Pour a cup of tea, open the windows and feel the smell of meadow colours.”

“В треке -Like You Do- наиболее ярко проявляется талант композитора и исполнительницы -Lennie Rayen-. Мягкий бит, акустические инструменты и завораживающий вокал, который словно обнимает вас за плечи; наливает чашечку горячего чая, открывает окна и впускает в дом запахи луговых цветов. ”

Perry Foster – She is of the Water
(Spotify)

“-She is of the Water- brings in mind a calm, hypnotic river cannal, in whose cool waters you are brought into excellent prairies. Pay attention to those striking vocals, whose timbre comes so deeply that it doesn't let you go to the very end of this amazing journey.”

“-She is of the Water- спокойное, гипнотическое русло реки, в чьих прохладных водах тебя несёт в прекрасные прерии. Поразительный по своему восприятию вокал, чей тембр заходит настолько глубоко, что не отпускает до самого конца этого удивительного путешествия.”

-Nagamag.com

Artist said about this song:

"Written in the Whiskeytown National Park of Northern California, the summer after I was married. After a truly transcendent day, the song seemed to write itself.

For the past few years I've been living in the Hudson Valley, NY with my family. Raising babies, making music. I'm working on a few projects I'm really excited about. Lately, I have been collaborating with some incredible musicians at the Clubhouse Studio here. I feel I am constantly learning so much! We're working on a slew of records that I'll be releasing throughout the year.

This is the first one.

On the track you'll hear the playing of Odetta Hartman on violin and vocals, Ira Coleman on bass, and Jim Weider on mandolin. Paul Antonell produced the song. Engineer/wizardry by Shubham Mondal."

“A round halo of the moon over the roofs of the marble city, stardust on hot windowsills and an orange thread of the cooling horizon. -There's Nothing to Look Forward To- is fully conveyed to the listeners, this music has a real flavor, you listen it in one breath, correctly chosen words that distinguish the work of -Paul Weinfield- against the background of many other performers in Folk music.”

Wonder-Full | Official Music Video | Duane Forrest
(Video)

“-Wonder-Full is the mental stream of the author’s consciousness transmitted through the language of sounds. There are no suitable words to fully pass the feelings from listening to this song. Acoustic Folk, gentle, pursuing to goosers vocals by -Duane Forrest – awaken the most kind of feelings.”

“-Wonder-Full- это душевный поток сознания автора переданный через язык звуков. Нет подходящих слов, чтобы в полной мере передать чувства от прослушивания этой песни. Акустический Folk, нежный, пробирающий до мурашек вокал -Duane Forrest- пробуждают самые добрые чувства.”

Artist said about this song:

“I wrote this song while navigating a devastating break-up. I started writing it after some time had passed and I was in a healthier place to look back on what happened. Hindsight is 20/20. Processing the good times and even the hard times was therapeutic for me – and I hope it will be for the listener.” – Duane Forrest

Eleanor K – All In
(Spotify)

“A melancholic piano melody seeps through the general measured mood -All In-, the vocals gradually, step by step, envelop and warm with their warmth. A light and unobtrusive music, like a flock of birds flying overhead, rocking you into the cradle with its measured rhythm.”

“Через общее размеренное настроение -All In- просачиваются меланхоличная фортепианная мелодия, вокал постепенно, шаг за шагом, обволакивает и согревает своим теплом. Лёгкое и ненавязчивое произведение, словно полёт стаи птиц над головой, укачивает вас в колыбели своим размеренным ритмом.”

-Nagamag.com

Eleanor K achieved huge success during her time performing with Crystal Fighters, a journey which has seen her play everywhere from Glastonbury to Coachella and Red Rocks. Meanwhile, her other highlights have included working with Matthew Murphy of The Wombats on Love Fame Tragedy, collaborating with the acclaimed Vic Mensa and Moon Boots, and creating her own Kyiki project.

Now reborn as a solo artist, Eleanor K steps into the spotlight with her new single ‘All In’. The track is the first taste of her self-produced debut album ‘Everytime’s The Last Time’, which will be released early next year. Listen HERE.

‘All In’ finds Eleanor K crafting an intoxicating blend of her effortlessly beautiful vocal gift with inventive production which melds live instrumentation and sample-based production. Her open-hearted lyricism possesses a melancholy streak, speaking of loneliness but also hopeful for a positive resolution. It’s a style which adds her own personality to sonics which touch upon elements of Bon Iver, Phoebe Bridgers and James Blake.

‘All In’ hints at what to expect from the album, which evolved during a frantic period in her life. She split her time between touring and being based in Tokyo and Los Angeles, a time further coloured by addiction and a self-confessed identity crisis

Ellie Irwin – Green Houses
(Spotify)

“In -Green Houses- the sound is so fragile that there is a light balance between positive human feelings and sadness. Beautiful acoustic melody and vocals from -Ellie Irwin- slowly flowing into the state of absolute satisfaction, love and harmony.”

“Звучание в -Green Houses- настолько хрупкое, что возникает лёгкий дисбаланс между живыми человеческими чувствами и грустью. Красивая акустическая мелодия и вокал -Ellie Irwin- льются ручьями, медленно перетекая в состояние абсолютного удовлетворения, любви и гармонии. ”

-Nagamag.com

“These songs represent a journey of realizing who I am, and that I’m done struggling to appease people,” shares singer-songwriter Ellie Irwin. The Central Pennsylvania-based acoustic-pop artist is seeding the way to a powerfully transformative coming of age project through a series of singles. “These songs have helped me reconnect with who I am, and they’ve also helped me realize I don’t need to depend on others for my self-worth. I’m the same person since writing them, but I’ve evolved. I hope my growing pains here can enlighten and comfort others.” Today, Ellie shares the exhilarating single, Green Houses.

Ellie commenced this song cycle summer of 2020 when she found herself reexamining her life and her personal connections as a high school student. “I’m surrounded by teenagers, and my songs are all pretty much a testimony to that,” she details. “They are me trying to figure out life and the emotional rollercoaster it sometimes is as a young person in this world.”

Each song entry represents a facet of Ellie’s path to liberating self-knowledge and confidence. Through these personal revelations, and her exhilarating acoustic-pop sensibility, Ellie shares struggles, profound realizations, and empowering decisions. Her songs start on the ukulele or the piano, and, from there, they are tastefully embellished with elegantly essential production touches. Luke Wood and Gregg Montante contributed guitar and Bob McCutcheon produced the sessions.
