As we age, we all think about the “what-ifs” in life and how choices affect our future selves. In Mae Krell’s latest single, “who we said we’d be”, she explores past relationships with loved ones from her childhood and how paths in life affected those relationships: “I was scrolling through my phone late one night and a ton of my old friends had posted on social media around the same time. After having not seen much from them in a while, I suddenly noticed that they had moved away from the city and were still in touch, like we had always talked about doing… but it seemed like I was the only one who didn’t. I consciously know that I made the decisions that were the best fit for me considering individual circumstances, but sometimes when I see glimpses of where I could be if I had made a different […]

Juni Ata – “Some Songs”

“Some Songs”, the modestly titled sophomore album by Nashville singer-songwriter Juni Ata takes us on a nostalgic trip through classic Americana. Touching on all the precious moments we experience throughout life’s journey, Juni’s earnest and emotional vocals breathe life into his poetic lyrics. The five-track EP features a range of talented local musicians and singers Sierra Ferrell, Madi Diaz and Lauren Farrah. This record was a labor of collaboration as much as any other love. From the outset it was an endeavor that provided us impetus to calling up everyone we knew, admired, or to whom we otherwise felt drawn. Some said yes, some maybe, some no. The people that said yes became the album. Their voices are forever entwined with mine, their stories blurring to take shape in my song. In this case, it took a village to raise a child. And what a dear child she has grown to be! – Juni Ata After […]

Päter – “WHEREFORE WEEP I THEN?”

The sophomore album from Canadian singer-songwriter Päter, ‘WHEREFORE WEEP I THEN?’ is a pure expression of their unique, eccentric indie pop style. The EP addresses struggles of love and all its accompanying anxieties; all delivered in a wry, subversive tone. Päter’s latest single, “FAN FAN FAN” is a quirky breakup song which approaches the sensitive topic with a welcome bit of levity: FAN FAN FAN was written from the point of unrequited love when you’ve cried every last tear, lost every last minute of sleep and things start to get a bit topsy turvy. There’s a deliriousness to it. I wrote this when I was feeling particularly stubborn about a relationship that wasn’t going my way. It let me release the tension around it and laugh at myself a bit. I think if you’ve ever been there, you’ll understand the melodrama of this song. It feels that dramatic when you’re in it. – Päter Iran-born and […]

Navah Sea – “Navah Sea”

The eponymous album ‘Navah Sea’ by British producer/songwriter Phil Simmonds discusses themes of love and the evolution of relationships, self-reflection and personal growth.
